standards-golang

Apply Go development standards including module management, go test testing, gofmt/go vet/golangci-lint code quality, idiomatic error handling, and self-documenting code practices. Use this skill when working with Go backend code, managing dependencies, running tests, or ensuring code quality. Apply when installing packages, writing tests, formatting code, handling errors, organizing imports, or deciding whether to create new files vs. extending existing ones. Use for any Go development task requiring adherence to tooling standards and best practices.

standards-migration

Create and manage database migrations with reversible changes, proper naming conventions, and zero-downtime deployment strategies. Use this skill when creating database migration files, modifying schema, adding or removing tables/columns, managing indexes, or handling data migrations. Apply when working with migration files (e.g., db/migrate/, migrations/, alembic/, sequelize migrations), schema changes, database versioning, rollback implementations, or when you need to ensure backwards compatibility during deployments. Use for any task involving database structure changes, index creation, constraint modifications, or data transformation scripts.

standards-models

Define database models with clear naming, appropriate data types, constraints, relationships, and validation at multiple layers. Use this skill when creating or modifying database model files, ORM classes, schema definitions, or data model relationships. Apply when working with model files (e.g., models.py, models/, ActiveRecord classes, Prisma schema, Sequelize models), defining table structures, setting up foreign keys and relationships, configuring cascade behaviors, implementing model validations, adding timestamps, or working with database constraints (NOT NULL, UNIQUE, foreign keys). Use for any task involving data integrity enforcement, relationship definitions, or model-level data validation.

standards-python

Apply Python tooling standards including uv package management, pytest testing, ruff/basedpyright code quality, one-line docstrings, and self-documenting code practices. Use this skill when working with Python backend code, managing dependencies, running tests, or ensuring code quality. Apply when installing packages, writing tests, formatting code, type checking, adding docstrings, organizing imports, or deciding whether to create new files vs. extending existing ones. Use for any Python development task requiring adherence to tooling standards and best practices.

standards-queries

Write secure, optimized database queries using parameterized queries, eager loading to prevent N+1 problems, and strategic indexing for performance. Use this skill when writing SQL queries, ORM queries, database interactions, or optimizing data fetching logic. Apply when working with query files, repository patterns, data access layers, SQL statements, ORM methods (ActiveRecord, Sequelize, Prisma queries), JOIN operations, WHERE clauses, preventing SQL injection, implementing eager loading or includes, adding query timeouts, wrapping operations in transactions, or caching expensive queries. Use for any task involving database reads, writes, complex queries, query optimization, or data fetching performance.

standards-responsive

Build responsive, mobile-first layouts using fluid containers, flexible units, media queries, and touch-friendly design that works across all screen sizes. Use this skill when creating or modifying UI layouts, responsive grids, breakpoint styles, mobile navigation, or any interface that needs to adapt to different screen sizes. Apply when working with responsive CSS, media queries, viewport settings, flexbox/grid layouts, mobile-first styling, breakpoint definitions (mobile, tablet, desktop), touch target sizing, relative units (rem, em, %), image optimization for different screens, or testing layouts across multiple devices. Use for any task involving multi-device support, responsive design patterns, or adaptive layouts.

standards-testing

Prevent common testing anti-patterns that undermine test effectiveness and code quality by ensuring tests verify real behavior rather than mock behavior, keeping production code free from test-only pollution, and enforcing thoughtful mocking strategies. Use this skill when writing or modifying any test files (.test.ts, .test.js, .spec.ts, _test.py, test_*.py, *_test.go, *_spec.rb), when adding mock objects, stubs, spies, or test doubles to test suites, when considering adding methods or properties to production classes that are only called from test code, when setting up complex test fixtures or test data, when tests are failing and you're tempted to adjust mocks to make them pass, when deciding how to isolate code under test from external dependencies, when implementing dependency injection or test seams, during code reviews when reviewing test implementation and mocking strategies, when refactoring tests that have become brittle or hard to maintain, when test setup code is becoming longer than the actual test assertions, or when choosing between integration tests with real components versus unit tests with mocks.

standards-tests

Write focused tests for core user flows and critical paths with clear test names, behavior-focused assertions, mocked external dependencies, and fast execution, deferring edge case testing until explicitly required. Use this skill when creating or modifying test files, writing unit tests, integration tests, or test cases for any feature. Apply when writing test files (test/, __tests__/, spec/, .test.js, .spec.ts, test_*.py), implementing tests for core user workflows, testing critical business logic, mocking external dependencies (databases, APIs, file systems), writing descriptive test names, creating fast-running unit tests, or adding tests at logical completion points of feature development.
