Included Skills8

crankskills/crank/SKILL.md

Front door to the crank design pipeline — routes the ask to brainstorm, spec, or plan and runs that phase.

crank-deepenskills/crank-deepen/SKILL.md

Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities — shallow modules, leaking seams — present them as a visual HTML report, grill through your pick, and emit a brainstorm brief for the crank pipeline. Use to improve codebase architecture, find refactor targets, or deepen modules.

crank-deslopskills/crank-deslop/SKILL.md

Deslop a declared scope of code into a concise fix plan, then offer to apply it. Strips agent-written slop, hunts code-judo restructurings, and prunes comments and docs the code has outgrown.

crank-executeskills/crank-execute/SKILL.md

Execute an implementation plan task-by-task with RED→GREEN→REFACTOR, independent reviews, and a retro.

crank-healthskills/crank-health/SKILL.md

Grade a JS/TS, Python, C#, Go or C/C++ repo with its own analyzers on eight categories (security, types, dead code, complexity, duplication, lint, format, test quality) and write a fix plan a coding agent can work; PR delta with --pr, autofix with --fix.

crank-refineskills/crank-refine/SKILL.md

Grill an existing brainstorm, spec, or plan until nothing consequential is left undecided at its altitude — sharpened in place.

crank-reviewskills/crank-review/SKILL.md

Review a PR, commit range, or uncommitted changes into a short list of high-confidence findings, each independently validated.

crank-test-pruneskills/crank-test-prune/SKILL.md

Prune a test suite for utility — verdict every test KEEP, DELETE, REFACTOR, or MERGE so only behavior-pinning tests survive.
