brainstorm

Use when starting any non-trivial feature, design, or behavior change - before writing code or creating tasks. Guides collaborative design exploration through focused questioning to produce a validated spec.

receiving-code-review

Use when receiving code review feedback - before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable. Requires technical verification and honest evaluation, not performative agreement.

review-initiative

Use after /breakdown-work or manual initiative creation, before running tasks. Use when initiative has 5+ tasks, multiple dependencies, or references a design document.

spec-formats

Templates for brainstorm artifacts and manifest.json. Load when using /spec.

UncategorizedView skill →

systematic-debugging

Use when debugging any failure, bug, or unexpected behavior - especially before attempting any fix. Enforces root cause investigation before implementation to prevent fix-thrashing and symptom-masking.

UncategorizedView skill →

test-driven-development

Use when implementing any feature, bug fix, or behavior change - before writing implementation code. Enforces strict RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle where tests are written and seen failing before any production code exists.

UncategorizedView skill →

verification-before-completion

Use before claiming any task is complete, any test passes, any build succeeds, or any fix works. Prevents false completion claims by requiring fresh verification evidence before every success statement.

UncategorizedView skill →

writing-skills

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work correctly. Applies TDD methodology to process documentation - test with pressure scenarios, write the skill, verify compliance.
