Claude Handoff Hand the current conversation off to a fresh background agent that picks up the work immediately. Code Review Review the changes since a fixed point (commit, branch, tag, or merge-base) along two axes: Standards (does the code follow this repo's documented coding standards?) and Spec (does the code match what the originating issue/spec asked for?). Code review and quality Conducts multi-axis code review. Code simplification Simplifies code for clarity. Codebase Design Shared vocabulary for designing deep modules. Constraint driven development Establishes a project's quality bar as a written contract and stops agents quietly lowering it. Context engineering Optimizes agent context setup. Debugging and error recovery Guides systematic root-cause debugging. Deprecation and migration Manages deprecation and migration. Design taste frontend Anti-slop frontend skill for landing pages, portfolios, and redesigns. Design taste frontend v1 The original v1 taste-skill, preserved for projects depending on its exact behavior. Diagnosing Bugs Diagnosis loop for hard bugs and performance regressions. Documentation and adrs Records decisions and documentation. Domain Modeling Build and sharpen a project's domain model. Doubt driven development Subjects every non-trivial decision to a fresh-context adversarial review before it stands. Engineering suite Use whenever the EngineeringSuite plugin is selected, the user writes EngineeringSuite, @EngineeringSuite, or a command like EngineeringSuite /research. Frontend ui engineering Builds production-quality, accessible, responsive user-facing UIs. Full output enforcement Overrides default LLM truncation behavior. Git Guardrails for Claude Code Set up Claude Code hooks to block dangerous git commands (push, reset --hard, clean, branch -D, etc.) before they execute. Git workflow and versioning Structures git workflow practices. Gpt taste Elite UX/UI & Advanced GSAP Motion Engineer. Grill Me A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design. Grill with Docs A relentless interview to sharpen a plan or design, which also creates docs (ADR's and glossary) as we go. Grilling Grill the user relentlessly about a plan, decision, or idea. Handoff Compact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up. High end visual design Teaches the AI to design like a high-end agency. Idea refine Refines raw ideas into sharp, actionable concepts through structured divergent and convergent thinking. Image to code Elite website image-to-code skill for Codex. Imagegen frontend mobile Elite mobile app image-generation skill for creating premium, app-native screen concepts and flows. Imagegen frontend web Elite frontend image-direction skill for generating premium, conversion-aware website design references. Implement Implement a piece of work based on a spec or set of tickets. Implement Spec Implement a specification in code. Improve Codebase Architecture Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick. Incremental implementation Delivers changes incrementally in thin, verifiable slices. Industrial brutalist ui Raw mechanical interfaces fusing Swiss typographic print with military terminal aesthetics. Interview me Extracts what the user actually wants instead of what they think they should want. Loop Me Grill me about specs for the workflows I want to build, within this workspace. Migrate to Shoehorn Migrate test files from `as` type assertions to @total-typescript/shoehorn. Minimalist ui Clean editorial-style interfaces. Observability and instrumentation Instruments code so production behavior is visible and diagnosable. Performance optimization Optimizes application performance across frontend, backend, queries, and databases. Planning and task breakdown Breaks work into ordered tasks. ponytail Forces the laziest solution that actually works, simplest, shortest, most minimal. Ponytail audit Whole-repo audit for over-engineering. Ponytail debt Harvest every `ponytail:` comment in the codebase into a debt ledger, so the deliberate shortcuts and deferrals ponytail leaves behind get tracked instead of rotting into "later means never". Ponytail gain Show ponytail's measured impact as a compact scoreboard: less code, less cost, more speed, from the benchmark medians. Ponytail help Quick-reference card for all ponytail modes, skills, and commands. Ponytail review Code review focused exclusively on over-engineering. Prototype Build a throwaway prototype to answer a design question. Redesign existing projects Upgrades existing websites and apps to premium quality. Research Investigate a question against high-trust primary sources and capture the findings as a Markdown file in the repo. Resolving Merge Conflicts Use when you need to resolve an in-progress git merge/rebase conflict. Retro Conduct a retrospective on a coding session. Scaffold Exercises Create exercise directory structures with sections, problems, solutions, and explainers that pass linting. Security and hardening Hardens code against vulnerabilities. Setup Matt Pocock Skills Configure this repo for the engineering skills: set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Setup Pre-Commit Set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged (Prettier), type checking, and tests in the current repo. Setup TS Deep Modules Wire dependency-cruiser into a TypeScript repo so each package is a deep module, with implementation hidden in subfolders and reachable only through its entry-point files. Shipping and launch Prepares production launches. Source driven development Grounds every implementation decision in official documentation. Spec driven development Creates specs before coding. Stitch design taste Semantic Design System Skill for Google Stitch. TDD Test-driven development. Teach Teach the user a new skill or concept, within this workspace. Test driven development Drives development with tests using the red-green-refactor loop. To Questionnaire Turn a decision you can't fully answer into a questionnaire for someone else to fill in. To Spec Turn the current conversation into a spec and publish it to the project issue tracker: no interview, just synthesis of what you've already discussed. To Tickets Break a plan, spec, or the current conversation into a set of tracer-bullet tickets, each declaring its blocking edges, published to the configured tracker (edges as text in one file per ticket locally, or native blocking links on a real tracker). Triage Move issues and external PRs through a state machine of triage roles, categorise, verify, grill if needed, and write agent-ready briefs. Using agent skills Discovers and invokes agent skills. Wait What Stop. Wayfinder Plan a huge chunk of work (more than one agent session can hold) as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear. Wizard Generate an interactive bash wizard that walks a human through steps only they can perform. Writing Beats Writing, exploit; assemble raw material into a journey of beats, grounding each term before a beat leans on it. Writing for Agents Writing documents for agents. Writing Fragments Writing, explore: mine raw fragments, no structure yet. Writing Shape Writing, exploit: shape raw material into an article, paragraph by paragraph.
