Use when a repository needs cleanup of dead code, build artifacts, unused dependencies, outdated docs, or stale tests - provides safe cleanup workflows, validation steps, and reporting templates for code, deps, docs, tests, and sprint archives.
kubernetes-security-policies
Kubernetes security policies, RBAC, and Pod Security Standards for hardened cluster deployments. Use when implementing cluster security, defining network policies, or enforcing security compliance in Kubernetes environments.
writing-skills
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment - applies TDD to process documentation by testing with subagents before writing, iterating until bulletproof against rationalization

Toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using Playwright. Use when verifying frontend functionality, debugging UI behavior, capturing browser screenshots, and viewing browser logs.
testing-anti-patterns
Use when writing or changing tests, adding mocks, or tempted to add test-only methods to production code - prevents testing mock behavior, production pollution with test-only methods, and mocking without understanding dependencies
test-driven-development
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code - write the test first, watch it fail, write minimal code to pass; ensures tests actually verify behavior by requiring failure first
threat-modeling-techniques
Threat modeling methodologies using STRIDE, attack trees, and risk assessment for proactive security analysis. Use when designing secure systems, conducting security reviews, or identifying potential attack vectors in applications.

agent-loops
Complete operational workflow for implementer agents (Codex, Gemini, etc.) making code changes and writing tests. Defines the Code Change Loop, Test Writing Loop, and Issue Filing process with circuit breakers, severity levels, and escalation rules. Includes bundled scripts for specialist-review (code review) and test-review-request (test audit) that delegate to Claude CLI. Use this skill when starting any implementation task.
claude-consult
Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.
skill-creator
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Codex's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
skill-installer
Install Codex skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills from a curated list or a GitHub repo path. Use when a user asks to list installable skills, install a curated skill, or install a skill from another repo (including private repos).

accessibility-audit
Fast, high-signal accessibility triage for pages, components, or PRs targeting WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.
api-design-patterns
Comprehensive REST and GraphQL API design patterns with versioning, pagination, error handling, and HATEOAS principles. Use when designing APIs, defining endpoints, or architecting service contracts requiring production-grade patterns.
api-gateway-patterns
API Gateway patterns for routing, authentication, rate limiting, and service composition in microservices architectures. Use when implementing API gateways, building BFF layers, or managing service-to-service communication at scale.
async-python-patterns
Python asyncio and concurrent programming patterns for high-performance applications. Use when building async APIs, concurrent systems, or I/O-bound applications requiring non-blocking operations.
backlog-md
Task tracking system for agents via Backlog.md CLI. Use when creating deferred issues during implementation, filing audit findings, working assigned tasks, or managing project work. Optimized for agent workflows: structured issue filing, priority/labeling system, and task completion tracking.

Build system optimization covering compilation, caching, incremental builds, and developer tooling. Use when improving build times, configuring CI pipelines, or designing developer tools.
canvas-design
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. Use when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
