Explores user intent, requirements, and design before implementation using 30+ research-validated prompt patterns.
holistic-linting
Comprehensive linting and formatting verification workflows. Provides automatic format-lint-resolve pipelines for orchestrators and sub-agents. Use when running linters, fixing ruff/mypy/bandit errors, ensuring code quality before completion, or resolving linting issues systematically.
agent-browser
Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction.
ccc
This skill should be used when code search is needed (whether explicitly requested or as part of completing a task), when indexing the codebase after changes, or when the user asks about ccc, cocoindex-code, or the codebase index. Trigger phrases include 'search the codebase', 'find code related to', 'update the index', 'ccc', 'cocoindex-code'.
copy-editing
When the user wants to edit, review, or improve existing marketing copy. Also use when the user mentions 'edit this copy,' 'review my copy,' 'copy feedback,' 'proofread,' 'polish this,' 'make this better,' 'copy sweep,' 'tighten this up,' 'this reads awkwardly,' 'clean up this text,' 'too wordy,' or 'sharpen the messaging.' Use this when the user already has copy and wants it improved rather than rewritten from scratch. For writing new copy, see copywriting.
workshop-question-framing
Use this skill when reviewing, designing, or improving a workshop, lesson, training session, facilitation plan, talk, or educational explanation. Use it when the user provides a topic, concept, or explanation and wants better framing questions, curiosity hooks, opening prompts, discussion questions, learner reflection prompts, or ways to make participants think before being taught.
backlog-tools-administrator
Administer the backlog tooling ecosystem when a capability gap is discovered. Invoke when backlog.py, backlog skills, or backlog agents lack a needed operation and a workaround was used or is about to be used. Classifies gaps as script (delegates to @python-cli-architect), process (loads improve-processes), or documentation (delegates to @contextual-ai-documentation-optimizer). Scope — backlog.py, create/work/groom-backlog-item skills, backlog-item-groomer agent, hooks, templates, references, rules, and tests.
boil
Activates Standard of Excellence enforcement for the current session. Load before starting any task to apply completion standards: finish the whole thing, fix the root cause, ship the complete working result. Blocks partial solutions, workarounds, deferred threads, and invented content limits when the permanent solve is within reach. Triggers: 'do the whole thing', 'boil the ocean', 'standard of excellence', 'finish it completely', before starting any implementation, refactoring, or multi-step task where partial output is a risk. Does NOT apply to: read-only queries, one-line typo fixes, pure knowledge questions, or single-output summarize requests.
commit-staged
Generates and commits conventional-commits messages by analyzing staged git diffs — fast and fork-context safe. Use when the user asks to commit staged changes, needs a type-scope-description message generated from the current diff, or wants scope selection guidance and pre-commit hook handling.
complete-milestone
Close a completed GitHub milestone and generate a completion summary. Use when a sprint or release is finished and needs to be officially closed. Audits open and closed issues, offers to carry forward open items to a new or existing milestone, closes the milestone, updates Project V2 Status to Done for closed issues, and produces a completion report.
bash-portability
This skill should be used when the user asks about "POSIX compatibility", "portable shell scripts", "cross-shell compatibility", "bashisms", "shebang selection", or mentions writing scripts that work on different shells (bash, sh, dash, zsh) or different systems.
cove-prompt-design
Explains Chain of Verification (CoVe) prompt design — a 4-step pattern separating generation from independent factual verification. Use when designing prompts that require factual accuracy, reducing hallucinations, checking technical standards or APIs, or producing step-by-step procedures where subtle errors are costly.
create-merge-request-changelog
Analyze git branches and generate structured MR/PR descriptions with domain-based change categorization — bug fixes, enhancements, technical debt, documentation, testing, build/CI, and non-functional changes. Use when preparing merge request descriptions, pull request bodies, writing changelogs from git diffs, documenting branch changes, or generating release notes. Works with GitHub and GitLab without requiring JIRA or issue tracker integration.
create-milestone
Creates a GitHub milestone on the current repository and returns its number for downstream use. Use when starting a new sprint, release, or theme grouping of backlog items. No args triggers guided intake (title, due date, description); 'quick {title}' skips to description only. Checks for duplicates before creating. Returns milestone number for /group-items-to-milestone.
daily-releases
Create GitHub Releases with AI-analyzed changelogs for every calendar day with commits on origin/main. Use when creating daily release notes, backfilling releases, or generating AI-categorized changelogs per day. Uses collect → bucket → analyze → synthesize → publish pipeline via Haiku subagents. Idempotent — skips up-to-date days, updates releases where new commits were added. Accepts optional --start-date, --end-date, --branch, and --dry-run arguments.
delegate
Delegation prompt template enforcing WHERE-WHAT-WHY structure for sub-agent prompts. Use when assigning work to a sub-agent, before invoking the Agent tool, preparing prompts for specialized agents, or needing the OBSERVATIONS-SUCCESS-CONTEXT format with authoring rules and pre-send checklist. For comprehensive delegation guidance, activate the agent-orchestration how-to-delegate skill.
design-anti-patterns
Enforce anti-AI UI design rules based on the Uncodixfy methodology. Use when generating HTML, CSS, React, Vue, Svelte, or any frontend UI code. Prevents generic AI aesthetic — soft gradients, glassmorphism, hero sections in dashboards, oversized rounded corners, and decorative copy. Applies constraints from Linear/Raycast/Stripe/GitHub design philosophy for functional, honest, human-designed interfaces. Triggers on UI generation, dashboard building, component creation, CSS styling, landing page design, or any task producing visual interface code.
evaluate-sdlc-layers
Validate and iterate on the SDLC Layer Separation Architecture implementation across 6 check categories — cross-references, doc completeness, knowledge-explorer layer filters, research entry metadata, integration points, and plan consistency. Produces a structured findings report and optionally applies safe fixes. Use when validating a first-pass implementation, before claiming layer work complete, auditing layer docs or schema, or running --dry-run to preview findings without changes.
example-argument-substitution
Test harness for Claude Code skill argument substitution — demonstrates capture-block pre-declaration, XML tag referencing, unintentional variable corruption in code blocks, and correct placement of shell examples in reference files. Use when verifying substitution behavior before applying a pattern to other skills, testing how arguments flow from skill invocations, or understanding the pre-declaration and reference file pattern with greet/farewell/inspect actions.
external-pattern-integrator
Integrates patterns from external sources (URLs or local files) into local skills, agents, and plugins. Use when comparing external agent definitions against local equivalents, extracting best practices from frameworks like GSD or BMAD-METHOD, enhancing local skills with external workflow patterns, or adding interoperability with external tool ecosystems. Runs a 3-phase workflow — parallel candidate mapping, contextual enhancement, and validation — with source attribution and backlog tracking for deferred enhancements.
fact-check
Verifies claims in backlog items, skill documentation, or plugin content against primary sources using web lookups. Spawns parallel verification agents that must use WebFetch/WebSearch/gh — training data recall is explicitly rejected as evidence. Produces VERIFIED/REFUTED/INCONCLUSIVE verdicts with citations. Use when items are marked UNVERIFIED or when verifying tool API claims, CLI flags, or documented software behavior.
swarm-primitives
Conceptual foundation for Claude Code multi-agent orchestration -- defines teams, teammates, leaders, tasks, inboxes, messages, and backends and shows how they connect. Use when starting to build a swarm workflow, understanding the swarm lifecycle and file layout, reading team config structure, or learning the task dependency system before writing TeamCreate or Agent tool calls.
find-cause
Wraps investigation requests with evidence-chain discipline. Use when asked to find out why something happens, research a root cause, debug an issue, or investigate unexpected behavior. Transforms vague investigation requests into reproducible-proof investigations with a 5-step protocol — disambiguate, reproduce, read source, build evidence chain, present findings. Invoke with /find-cause followed by a description of what to investigate.
gh
Install and configure the GitHub CLI (gh) for AI agent environments where gh may not be pre-installed and git remotes use local proxies instead of github.com. Use when gh command not found, shutil.which returns None, need GitHub API access for issues or PRs or releases or workflow runs, or repository operations fail with 'failed to determine base repo' error. Provides auto-install script with SHA256 verification, GITHUB_TOKEN auth with anonymous fallback, and the required -R flag pattern for proxy environments. Covers project management via GitHub Projects V2, milestones via REST API, issue lifecycle templates, and label taxonomy management.
git-history-recon
Analyze git repository history to produce a codebase risk profile before code review. Probes repo size, runs 7 parallel git analysis pipelines (hotspots, bug magnets, bus factor, contributor momentum, firefighting frequency, newly added files), cross-references hotspots with bug magnets to identify high-risk files with primary owner annotation, and writes walkthrough/recon-report.md. Use before code review to prioritize reviewer attention, at the start of linear-walkthrough Phase 1 Discovery to weight file coverage, or when onboarding to an unfamiliar codebase.
group-items-to-milestone
Assign backlog items to a GitHub milestone by bridging per-item files to GitHub Issues. Use when populating a sprint or release milestone, after create-milestone, or when a milestone number is specified with optional P0/P1/P2 or title filter. Creates missing GitHub Issues for selected P0/P1 items, assigns all selected items to the milestone, and updates Project V2 Status to Backlog.
knowledge-explorer
Manages the research/ knowledge base of verified tool and library research entries via knowledge-explorer.py. Commands — list (browse by category or SDLC layer), fetch-github (draft entry from GitHub repo), add (validate and route to category dir), update-append (append dated revision), generate-descriptions (repair missing or low-quality descriptions), migrate (convert inline-header entries to frontmatter). Use when browsing KB topics, adding or updating research entries, fetching GitHub repo metadata, generating descriptions in parallel via Haiku subagents, or migrating old-format entries to skill-spec frontmatter.
linear-walkthrough
Produces a structured, end-to-end linear walkthrough of an unfamiliar codebase by orchestrating parallel subagents across four phases — discovery, tracing, validation, and synthesis. Use when onboarding to a new repository, understanding execution paths from entry points, generating navigable codebase documentation, or needing fact-checked coverage of architecture, deployment, testing, and operations.
modern-git
Modern Git workflows, best practices, and commands. Use when the user asks about Git branch management (git switch vs checkout), file restoration (git restore), fixup commits, autosquash rebasing, git worktrees, rerere, force-with-lease, repository cleanup (git clean, stale branches, bloat analysis), history navigation (revision syntax, range notation, pickaxe search), recommended global git config, or GitButler and the but CLI.
orchestrating-swarms
Facade skill for multi-agent swarm orchestration in Claude Code — routes to specialist skills covering primitives, spawning, operations, and patterns. Use when coordinating multiple agents in parallel, building pipeline workflows with dependencies, running parallel code reviews, creating self-organizing task queues, designing divide-and-conquer workloads, or choosing between TeamCreate and Agent tool approaches. Loads swarm-primitives (team lifecycle and message flow), swarm-spawning (agent types and backends), swarm-operations (tool API and error handling), and swarm-patterns (six orchestration recipes with complete workflows).
prepare-walkthrough-presentation
Transforms validated /linear-walkthrough artifacts into one presentation-ready deck outline per major codebase component. Use when the user asks to create a presentation, prepare a walkthrough deck, build an onboarding deck, produce an architecture review deck, or summarize a codebase for a technical audience. Requires walkthrough directory output -- reads unified walkthrough, per-section files, validation reports, coverage maps, entry points, and open questions -- then orchestrates four parallel agent phases to produce slide outlines with speaker notes, evidence references, and suggested visuals.
bash-logging
This skill should be used when the user asks to "add logging to bash script", "colorize output", "implement log levels", "CI/CD sections", "terminal colors in bash", or mentions logging functions, emoji output, collapsible CI sections, or shlocksmith.
readme-badger
Badge design and selection knowledge base for shields.io badges in README files. Use when writing or updating READMEs, choosing badge layouts, selecting badge styles, adding project health indicators, or picking Simple Icons logo slugs. Covers shields.io URL encoding rules, static vs dynamic badge selection, style variants (flat/flat-square/for-the-badge/social/plastic), layout patterns (two-tier/inline/centered), project-type badge sets for Python/JS/Rust/Claude plugins, color reference, non-obvious logo slugs, and common anti-patterns to avoid.
rebase
Strategic rebase with mandatory pre-analysis. Use when asked to rebase a branch onto main (or any target). Runs a file-level diff of both sides before touching git, produces a per-file disposition plan (KEEP/MERGE/DROP/REWRITE), and only then executes the rebase. Prevents surprise conflicts and silent data loss from rebasing without knowing what changed on both sides. Triggers: 'rebase', 'rebase onto main', 'rebase this branch', 'rebase and merge', 'update branch from main'.
refresh-research
Bulk-refresh research entries in ./research/ using parallel research-curator agents. Use when /refresh-research is invoked, stale research needs updating, or bulk re-verification of research entries is requested. Inventories entries by review date and age, runs RT-ICA pre-flight, spawns agents in waves of 5, updates README and Freshness Tracking, lints and commits. Supports --all, --stale, --category, --layer, and --dry-run flags.
research-curator
Orchestrate research entry lifecycle in ./research/ — create, batch-import, refresh stale entries, and validate structure. Use when asked to add a tool, research a URL, document a library, refresh research, validate entries, or given any tool or library URL. Supports --batch (parallel multi-URL), --rerun (refresh one or all entries), and --validate (structural check with auto-fix of error-severity issues).
session-historian
Look up prior Claude Code sessions when context is lost or forgotten. Use when asked what was done before, what happened in the last session, or any request to recall past conversation history, prior decisions, experiments, or outcomes. Indexes and searches raw JSONL transcripts from ~/.claude/projects/ via DuckDB. Returns verbatim user messages, summarizes AI actions and sub-agent outcomes, detects tool errors and user frustration signals, and reports tool usage statistics. Summaries cached at ~/.claude/kaizen/session-summaries/.
seven-prompt-content-engine
Walks a user from one rough content idea to a finished post, platform-adapted variants, and repurposed follow-on assets using a 7-step sequential prompting workflow. Use when the user wants to turn a half-formed idea, frustration, story, or client situation into publishable content quickly and consistently — covering idea extraction, hook generation, outline, draft, humanizer pass, platform adaptation (LinkedIn, Reddit, X/Twitter, newsletter, Telegram), and repurpose engine.
skill-research-process
Builds comprehensive Claude Code skills using parallel research agents — categorization, parallel documentation gathering, anti-hallucination checkpoints, and final validation. Use when building a skill from official docs, when "research for skill" or "create comprehensive skill" is requested, or when extensive multi-source documentation gathering is needed before skill creation.
start-milestone
Transitions a GitHub milestone from planning to active execution. Use when the team is ready to begin a sprint or release cycle — bulk-transitions open issue labels from status:needs-grooming to status:in-progress, updates GitHub Projects V2 Status to In Progress, and confirms before applying changes. Requires milestone number as argument. Use after /group-items-to-milestone.

swarm-operations
API reference for Claude Code multi-agent swarm tools -- TeamCreate, SendMessage, TeamDelete, TaskCreate/Update/List/Get, and Agent tool parameters. Use when looking up tool signatures, message schemas, shutdown sequences, error handling patterns, or debugging swarm operations. Covers direct messages, broadcasts, plan approval flows, graceful shutdown sequences, crashed teammate recovery, and common error causes.
swarm-patterns
Recipes and patterns for Claude Code multi-agent swarms. Use when building parallel specialist reviews, pipeline workflows, self-organizing swarms, research-then-implement flows, plan approval gates, coordinated multi-file refactoring, or any divide-and-conquer orchestration pattern requiring TeamCreate, TaskCreate, SendMessage, or Agent tool coordination.
swarm-spawning
Covers how to create agents in Claude Code swarms -- subagents vs teammates, built-in agent type catalog (Bash, Explore, Plan, general-purpose, claude-code-guide), plugin agent types from compound-engineering, spawn backend selection (in-process, tmux, iterm2) with auto-detection logic, and environment variables injected into spawned agents. Use when choosing how to spawn an agent, selecting the right agent type, configuring or troubleshooting spawn backends, or passing env vars to teammates.
universe-of-thoughts
Creative reasoning framework for ill-defined problems where conventional solutions are suboptimal. Use when the problem has ambiguous goals, vast solution space, no single correct answer, or requires innovation. Implements three paradigms — combinational (novel combinations of familiar ideas), exploratory (expand solution space boundaries), transformative (alter fundamental constraints). Do not use for well-defined problems, mathematical puzzles, or tasks requiring convergent reasoning.
review-against-solid-principles
Ensemble SOLID review — fans the ruleset across overlapping focused workers over the same code, then reduces by corroboration.
