Included Skills4

crank-liteskills/crank-lite/SKILL.md

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

lite-deepenskills/lite-deepen/SKILL.md

Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities — shallow modules, leaking seams — present them as chat cards with ASCII before/after diagrams, grill through your pick, and emit a brainstorm brief for the crank-lite pipeline. Use to improve codebase architecture, find refactor targets, or deepen modules.

lite-executeskills/lite-execute/SKILL.md

Execute a PRD, spec, or implementation plan: implement, verify, review, and commit the work.

lite-reviewskills/lite-review/SKILL.md

Review a PR, commit range, or uncommitted changes into a short list of validated findings, then offer to apply the fixes.
