Included Skills4

backlog-authoringskills/backlog-authoring/SKILL.md

Author plans and native records for existing Backlog.md projects, using their configured MCP or CLI workflow. Use for planning requests or task, milestone, decision, and doc updates only when the project already contains a backlog/ directory belonging to Backlog.md. Does not apply without that directory and does not initialize Backlog.md.

changelog-authoringskills/changelog-authoring/SKILL.md

Generate or update CHANGELOG.md and release notes from commit messages in a pull request or the current branch compared with its base, usually main, or from project specifications and planning records. Use for changelog drafts, release summaries, and comparison-based updates. Preserve existing changelog entries when adding new dated blocks.

find-library-docsskills/find-library-docs/SKILL.md

Find current documentation, API references, and code examples for libraries, frameworks, SDKs, CLI tools, and cloud services. Use when answering or implementing work that depends on technology-specific APIs, configuration, setup, migrations, or debugging behavior. Match documentation to the relevant version.

find-skillsskills/find-skills/SKILL.md

Discover and help install reusable agent skills. Use when the user asks to find, compare, or install skills, or explicitly wants to extend agent capabilities. Ordinary requests to perform a task do not by themselves trigger a skill search.
