Included Skills16

advance-cardskills/advance-card/SKILL.md

Mutate a card's status (everything except done — that is finish-card's job), record relationship edges, or set the goc wait impediment overlay. AUTO-INVOKE on "I'll start on X", "mark this disproved", "supersede with Z", "make this depend on Y".

audit-deckskills/audit-deck/SKILL.md

Hunt for one previously-undocumented defect, doc drift, missing test, or inconsistency; file it via Skill(create-card). AUTO-INVOKE on "find me a bug", "audit X", "check for inconsistencies", or /audit-deck. Inconsistencies are the primary lead.

card-schemaskills/card-schema/SKILL.md

Card schema reference — fields, status/stage/contribution/human_gate enums, canonical tags, DoD detection, relationship invariants, title convention. AUTO-INVOKE when other deck skills need schema context, or when the user asks about field semantics, status lifecycle, DoD format, or card titling.

codex-kickoffskills/codex-kickoff/SKILL.md

Codex-specific complement to the generic kickoff skill — install the GoC Codex plugin from the repo marketplace, explain hook activation, verify the goc CLI path. AUTO-INVOKE after Skill(kickoff) completes in Codex, or on "finish kickoff for Codex" / "set up Codex plugin".

create-cardskills/create-card/SKILL.md

File a new card with frontmatter and a DoD scaffold BEFORE implementation — the body is the briefing the next reader needs to act cold. AUTO-INVOKE on "let's do X", "implement Y", "fix Z", a described bug, a requested feature, or ANY new persistent work item.

decide-cardskills/decide-card/SKILL.md

Record a decision (what + why) on a parked card and lower the human gate from decision or session to none. AUTO-INVOKE on "I decided X", "let's go with Y", "approved", or any resolution of a parked card — the human's one-action handoff so pull-card can resume.

deckskills/deck/SKILL.md

Front door for the deck — the operating substrate for ALL persistent work. AUTO-INVOKE when the user references the deck/methodology/workflow, or at session start as a reminder that persistent work flows through Skill(create-card) → Skill(advance-card) → Skill(finish-card).

finish-cardskills/finish-card/SKILL.md

Close a card with DoD enforcement and a log.md closure entry — goc done refuses to close with any unchecked box. AUTO-INVOKE on "done", "close this", "finish X", "ship it", or when work satisfies a card's DoD. For every other status change, use advance-card.

kickoffskills/kickoff/SKILL.md

Kick off GoC in a fresh repo — introduce GoC, pick a persona, confirm the AGENTS.md merge, scaffold via goc install. AUTO-INVOKE on "kickoff", "use GoC here", "set up game of cards", or when any GoC skill runs in a repo with no deck directory.

next-cardskills/next-card/SKILL.md

Pick the highest-leverage open card to work on next. Read-only verdict — does NOT flip status (pull-card claims). AUTO-INVOKE on "what's next", "pick something", "what should I do", or autonomous-loop work. Filters to `human_gate: none` for loop safety.

pull-cardskills/pull-card/SKILL.md

Pull the highest-leverage `human_gate: none` open card off the queue, claim it, work it, close it, commit. AUTO-INVOKE when the user says "drain the queue", "pull a card", "let the agents work", "autonomous mode", "make progress", or when invoked via /loop or /schedule.

refine-deckskills/refine-deck/SKILL.md

Deck hygiene pass — retag stale cards, prune 90-day unverified parks, surface defunct references, orphaned dependencies, and jargon titles. AUTO-INVOKE on "tidy up the deck", "hygiene pass", "clean up the queue", or /refine-deck. The board itself gets refactored each iteration.

retrospectiveskills/retrospective/SKILL.md

Backwards analysis of the last N closed cards — recurring failure modes, generalization candidates, rough velocity feel. Read-only; never files cards. AUTO-INVOKE on "what have we learned", "retro", "any patterns lately", "what keeps going wrong".

scan-deckskills/scan-deck/SKILL.md

Browse the deck — supportive triage view, filtered queues, kanban board, JSON dump, decision Q&A. Read-only by default. AUTO-INVOKE on "what's open", "show me the deck", "kanban view", or "decisions to make" — and ALWAYS before Skill(create-card) to dedup against existing titles.

standupskills/standup/SKILL.md

Daily-style deck read — active and impeded cards, closures within the last 24h, cards parked on a human decision gate. Read-only, never mutates state. AUTO-INVOKE on "where do we stand", "what's stuck", "standup", "daily check", or "what happened since yesterday".

upgradeskills/upgrade/SKILL.md

Run goc upgrade, then drive LLM reconciliation of evolving .game-of-cards/ files from the engine's divergence report, preserving user-owned content. AUTO-INVOKE on "upgrade goc", "run goc upgrade", "sync goc templates".
