Skills19
Use when requesting-code-review is complete and all Critical/Important issues are resolved, before finishing-a-development-branch - dispatches an acceptance-tester subagent to verify every acceptance criterion
Use when a repository or subsystem lacks usable canonical memory and needs an initial memory baseline
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
Use when a delivery cycle produced durable knowledge that should be preserved in canonical repository memory
Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
Use when a bug fix, architectural change, interface contract update, or recurring pitfall has been resolved and has clear reuse value — to record a durable lesson in project memory before the context is lost
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session
Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback
Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring skill invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
Use when a spec document has been approved during brainstorming and you need to produce testable acceptance criteria before writing the implementation plan - converts spec requirements into a structured acceptance criteria document
Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
