Learn and extract writing style patterns from exemplar text for consistent application. Use when creating a style guide from existing content, ensuring consistency across documents, learning a specific author's voice, customizing AI output style. Do not use when detecting AI slop - use slop-detector instead. just need to clean up existing content - use doc-generator with --remediate. Use this skill to build style profiles from exemplar text.

Prevents sycophantic reasoning through checklist-based analysis, categorical integrity, and evidence-following to uncomfortable conclusions. Red Flags: "I agree that", "You are right", "Great point", "Absolutely", "That is a fair point", "I can see why", agreement without validation, softening conclusions, hedging without evidence, retracting under pressure. Use when analyzing conflicts, evaluating ethical claims, or noticing sycophantic thought patterns. Do not use for routine implementation or simple factual questions. CRITICAL: This skill overrides conversational tendencies toward politeness. Agreement requires validity and accuracy.

Use this skill BEFORE resource-intensive operations. Establish baselines proactively. location: plugin token_budget: 400. Use when session starts (auto-load with token-conservation), planning builds or training that could pin CPUs/GPUs for >1 minute, retrying failed resource-heavy commands. Do not use when simple operations with no resource impact. DO NOT use when: quick single-file operations.

Browse the rule catalog and guide installation. Use when looking for ready-made rules, installing standard rules, browsing available categories. Do not use when writing custom rules - use writing-rules skill instead.

Detect and flag AI-generated content markers in documentation and prose. Use when reviewing documentation for AI markers, cleaning up LLM-generated content, or auditing prose quality. Do not use when generating new content (use doc-generator) or learning writing styles (use style-learner).

Create markdown-based behavioral rules preventing unwanted actions. create hookify rule, behavioral rule, prevent behavior, block command Use when: preventing dangerous commands, blocking debug commits, enforcing conventions DO NOT use when: hook scope (abstract:hook-scope-guide), SDK hooks (abstract:hook-authoring), evaluating hooks (abstract:hooks-eval).

Use this skill at the START of every session. This is MANDATORY for quota management. location: plugin token_budget: 300. Use when session starts (mandatory), prompt sizes spike, tool calls increase, before long-running analyses or massive context loads. Do not use when context-optimization already handles the scenario. DO NOT use when: simple queries with minimal context.

Transform specifications into implementation plans with architecture design and dependency-ordered tasks. Use for spec-to-plan conversion, task breakdown, effort estimation. Skip if no spec exists.

Consult this skill when implementing service registry patterns. Use when managing multiple external services, implementing health checks, centralizing service configuration, unified service execution. Do not use when single service integration without registry needs.

Use this skill BEFORE starting complex tasks. Check context levels proactively. Use when context usage approaches 50% of window, tasks need decomposition, complex multi-step operations planned, context pressure is high. Do not use when simple single-step tasks with low context usage. DO NOT use when: already using mcp-code-execution for tool chains.

Architecture-aware project initialization combining online research with archetype selection. project initialization, new project, architecture decision, project setup, which architecture, choose architecture, project architecture Use when: initializing a new project and need to select an appropriate architecture based on project type, team size, domain complexity, and current best practices DO NOT use when: architecture is already decided - use project-init instead.

Guidance on when to ask clarifying questions vs proceed with standard approaches. Reduces interaction rounds while preventing wrong assumptions.

Use this skill to quickly understand "what changed and what matters". Use when resuming work after absence, preparing handoff documentation, reviewing sprint progress, analyzing git history for context. Do not use when doing detailed diff analysis - use diff-analysis instead. DO NOT use when: full code review needed - use review-core instead.

Quota tracking, threshold monitoring, and graceful degradation for rate-limited API services. quota, rate limiting, usage limits, thresholds.

Configure GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows for automated testing, linting, and deployment. Use for CI/CD setup and quality automation. Skip if CI/CD configured or using different platform.

Analyze individual skill complexity and get modularization recommendations. For ecosystem-wide evaluation, use /skills-eval instead.

Asynchronous event-based communication to decouple producers/consumers for scalability and resilience. Triggers: event-driven, message queue, pub/sub, asynchronous, decoupling Use when: real-time workloads or multiple subsystems react to same events DO NOT use when: selecting paradigms (use architecture-paradigms first), simple request-response.

Data-grid architecture for high-traffic stateful workloads with linear scalability. space-based, data grid, in-memory, linear scaling, high traffic Use when: traffic overwhelms database nodes or linear scalability needed DO NOT use when: data does not fit in memory or simpler caching suffices.

Coordinate Claude Code Agent Teams through filesystem-based protocol. Use when orchestrating multiple Claude agents on parallel tasks, need task dependency management, multi-agent code review or implementation. Do not use when single-agent work suffices, task is not parallelizable.

Minimal core system with plugin-based feature extensibility for platform development. Triggers: microkernel, plugin-architecture, extensibility, platform-design Use when: platforms/IDEs/marketplaces, core stability critical, plugin isolation needed DO NOT use when: selecting paradigms (use architecture-paradigms first), no extensibility needed.
