Generate comprehensive rollout plans with preflight checks, step-by-step deployment, verification signals, rollback procedures, and communication plans for infrastructure and application changes
Use when needing to reorder, split, drop, or amend git commits that are not the top commit, without interactive editor access. Covers programmatic rebase via GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR, commit splitting with automated hunk selection, and metadata changes (author, message, dates) on any commit in a range.
Guide for adding a new IR instruction to the Hermes compiler. Use when the user asks to add, create, or define a new IR instruction (Inst/Instruction) in the Hermes intermediate representation. Covers all required files and the patterns for each.
Rules for writing and reviewing GC-safe C++ code in the Hermes VM runtime. Use when writing, modifying, or reviewing C++ runtime VM code that uses internal Hermes VM APIs (as opposed to code using JSI). This includes working with GC-managed types (HermesValue, Handle, PinnedValue, JSObject, StringPrimitive, etc.), Locals, GCScope, PseudoHandle, CallResult, or any function with _RJS suffix. Typically in lib/VM/, include/hermes/VM/, or API/hermes/.
This skill should be used when the user wants to analyze hermesvm binary size changes across a range of commits. Use when the user mentions "binary size", "size analysis", "size regression", "size increase", or asks to measure how commits affect the hermesvm library size.

Provides information about how to setup various kinds of projects. Useful for initializing projects based on requirements and scaffolding the project.
**WORKFLOW SKILL** — Create, update, review, fix, or debug VS Code agent customization files (.instructions.md, .prompt.md, .agent.md, SKILL.md, copilot-instructions.md, AGENTS.md). USE FOR: saving coding preferences; troubleshooting why instructions/skills/agents are ignored or not invoked; configuring applyTo patterns; defining tool restrictions; creating custom agent modes or specialized workflows; packaging domain knowledge; fixing YAML frontmatter syntax. DO NOT USE FOR: general coding questions (use default agent); runtime debugging or error diagnosis; MCP server configuration (use MCP docs directly); VS Code extension development. INVOKES: file system tools (read/write customization files), ask-questions tool (interview user for requirements), subagents for codebase exploration. FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: For quick YAML frontmatter fixes or creating a single file from a known pattern, edit the file directly — no skill needed.
