alon-skills

v3.1.1

Architecture, code review, prompting, and decision-making skills tuned to Alon Baron's engineering style: model-first, failure-path-aware, YAGNI. v3: six skills rewritten for Claude Fable 5.1 as judgment rules, a build-loop workflow that builds TODO_WORKFLOW.md rows unattended, a claude plugin eval suite, and (3.1) a tracker for any workflow run plus the workflow-watch mod that draws it live.

Included Skills6

architectskills/architect/SKILL.md

Produces Alon's design-doc system before code: SOURCE_OF_TRUTH.md, ARCHITECTURE_ROADMAP.md, TODO_WORKFLOW.md, CLAUDE.md, plus a modular docs/architecture set for larger projects. Model first: data and invariants before framework, every invariant enforced at two boundaries, failure paths designed as deliberately as happy paths, one source of truth everything else links back to. Also audits existing docs against the code, drift cited both sides.

ask-the-councilskills/ask-the-council/SKILL.md

Convenes a panel of opinionated Claude advisors, each with a distinct mandate and a forbidden move so they genuinely diverge, then a Chairman synthesis that commits to one recommendation with the decisive tradeoff and the strongest dissent named.

ponytailskills/ponytail/SKILL.md

Forces the laziest solution that actually works: YAGNI, reuse before new code, stdlib before custom, native platform before dependencies, one line before fifty. Three levels — lite (name the lazier alternative, build what's asked), full (ladder enforced, default), ultra (YAGNI extremist, challenge the requirement itself).

prompt-generatorskills/prompt-generator/SKILL.md

Turns a vague ask into a rigorous, grounded, token-efficient prompt for another agent or LLM: role and objective, testable done criteria, anti-hallucination and anti-tokenmaxing rules baked into the generated prompt itself, and strict agent discipline for coding-agent hand-offs.

review-swarmskills/review-swarm/SKILL.md

Local, free, multi-specialist review of a diff: parallel Claude subagents for correctness, security/trust boundaries, data/perf, architecture-altitude, ponytail-simplicity, and tests/failure-paths, each non-trivial finding adversarially verified before being kept, deduped, and ranked into a Blockers / Should-fix / Nits report with file:line and a one-line fix per item.

up-to-dateskills/up-to-date/SKILL.md

Preflight sync and situational brief before repo work: fetches origin, reports ahead/behind divergence (with a no-upstream/detached-HEAD fallback), recent commits, open PRs and issues touching the work, and dirty-tree warnings, then names one recommended first action. Read-only by default — never pulls, rebases, merges, or discards local work without explicit confirmation.
