Included Skills3

code-writer-councilskills/code-writer-council/SKILL.md

Run a bounded write-review-verify loop whenever the agent is about to write or change code in a repository where this plugin is installed. A frozen task record carries the request, allowed paths, test command and the user's caps; the diff size picks the reviewers; a script runs the tests and prints "done", the model never does. A diff of ten lines or fewer takes the exit, scripts only, no subagent. Not for research questions, unknown causes, or competing explanations; send those to research-council.

research-councilskills/research-council/SKILL.md

Run a bounded investigation of a hard research, decision, or debugging problem before committing to a solution. Use when asked to research, investigate, explain a behaviour, or compare competing explanations, especially when a wrong answer costs money or data. Produces evidence-linked FINDINGS.md, a practical HANDOFF.md, and optional structured JSON for the next agent. Not for small tasks that one command or one test can settle.

self-improveskills/self-improve/SKILL.md

Run research-council on its own repository to find the weakest part of the plugin and turn the findings into proposed register steps. Use when asked to improve, audit, or review research-council itself, or to continue its self-improvement loop. Ends with FINDINGS.md in an ignored run folder, a run note in docs/runs/, and S-n rows in docs/spec-v1.md. Never merges, never spends money, never leaves this repository.
