umbrella

You MUST use this before any creative work — creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior, before any implementation action. Umbrella flavor: use this instead of umbrella:brainstorming.

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

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 reviewing a diff, branch, or PR, before declaring work done, requesting code review, or merging — especially changes touching shared surfaces (headers, nav, shells) or auth/route gating, or before finishing a development branch.

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 tool 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 you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code. Umbrella flavor — use this instead of umbrella:writing-plans.

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
