Audit Permission Grants
Audit Claude Code permission GRANTS for portability and auto-mode durability — scans skill/command/agent frontmatter allowed-tools and settings.json/settings.local.json permissions.allow for interpreter-wildcard rules dropped in auto mode, hardcoded machine/user paths, and inert plugin self-grants. Use when: 'check permission rules', 'why was my allowed-tools grant ignored', 'audit allow rules',…
Point Dont Copy
Re-anchor pointer-over-copy discipline, then audit the work in flight for copied content, internal-name coupling, and closed capability lists, and correct by pointing at the living source. Use when: 'point don't copy', 'you copied that', 'don't duplicate the docs', 'cite instead of paste', 'link don't restate', 'you enumerated the tools', 'that couples to internal names', 'this will drift', or at…
Mind Your Maxims
Re-anchor cooperative-communication discipline — Grice's conversational maxims plus the AI-augmented transparency maxim — then audit recent responses and agent-authored artifacts for what the reader actually needed: completeness in both directions, relevance, clarity, and disclosed boundaries. Use when: 'mind your maxims', 'communication quality', 'answer what I asked', 'you buried the answer', '…
Recheck Against Upstream
Re-anchor the discipline that existing state — config, code, docs, infra — is not evidence of its own correctness, then audit the surface in flight against CURRENT official upstream docs and classify each divergence. Use when: 'recheck against upstream', 'check this against the docs', 'is our config still current', 'did upstream change', 'are we still doing this right', 'verify against the offici…
Audit
Audit a codebase for drift between docs, config, code, and architecture. Verifies every factual claim against reality via parallel subagent fan-out, severity-rates findings and reports read-only; remediation is delegated to the implementation/verification lanes (`--fix` hands the findings to `/implementation:implement` then `/verification:confirm`). Use when: 'audit codebase', 'check for drift',…
Stateless
Inspect and turn off Claude Code's auto memory — the notes Claude writes itself per repo under ~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/. Use when: 'make Claude stateless', 'stop Claude remembering', 'disable auto memory', 'turn off auto-memory', 'purge/clear/delete auto memory', 'wipe what Claude saved about this repo', 'does Claude have saved memories'. Actions: status (default — memory + settings a…
Write
Produce a structured 5-field bug report (title, steps to reproduce, expected vs actual, severity with justification, suggested fix location) from an informal description. Read-only — never modifies code, never opens PRs, never files issues by default. Use when: 'there is a bug in <X>', 'report a bug', 'file a bug', 'bug-report this', '<symbol> gives wrong output when <condition>', 'I am seeing <e…
Generate
Build a source-backed AI industry briefing from official vendor publications, configured RSS feeds, GitHub releases, reputable secondary reporting, and user-supplied URLs. Use when: 'ai briefing', 'ai news', 'what's new in AI', 'catch me up on AI', 'prep for AI meeting', 'AI roundup', or 'generate AI slides'.
Known Issues
Looks up and tracks known Claude product issues — searches known GitHub bugs, checks service health and model quality, and maintains a persistent registry of tracked issues. Use when: 'is this broken', 'known CC bugs', 'troubleshoot Claude Code', 'any workarounds', 'feature behaves unexpectedly', 'scan repo for issues', 'file a bug' — actions: status (default), search <feature>, check-all, scan,…
Follow Our Standards
Re-anchor to your organization's engineering standards, then audit the work in flight against them and correct violations with doc citations. Use when: 'follow our standards', 'follow the standards', 're-anchor to standards', 'does this match our conventions', 'audit against standards', 'you're drifting from our conventions', or at conversation start on a repo governed by shared conventions.
Audit Pass
Run ONE coordinated, ordered, resumable pass over a named target repository: a three-scope inventory first (managed policy read-only, user scope routed as recommendations, project scope), then delegated checks lane by lane, findings persisted per lane so an interrupted run resumes instead of restarting, and one human gate for the whole pass instead of one per skill. Adds run semantics, not checks…
Batch Simplify
Batch-run simplification across all recently changed files, grouped by ecosystem and dependency order. Use when: 'batch simplify', 'simplify recent changes', 'simplify everything', 'forgot to run simplify', 'catch up on simplify', 'simplify my branch changes', or after a multi-session sprint. Accepts a time window (`24h`, `7d`) or `branch` to diff the current branch vs the default branch; optiona…
Tidy
Proactively hunt a rotated lane of the codebase for safe structural improvements (Beck's 15 tidyings + a Fowler subset + prose tidyings), apply scope-budgeted edits, and ship one tight structure-only PR per invocation. Use when: 'tidy', 'tidy up', 'boy scout', 'polish', 'small refactors', 'improve gradually', 'clean up in passing', 'tidying day', 'tidy lane', 'run tidy'. Actions: [<lane>] targete…
Audit Automation Gaps
Audit a repo's Claude Code automation landscape (hooks, MCP servers, skills, subagents, scheduled tasks) against the enforcement hierarchy, producing PASS/REJECT/CONDITIONAL verdicts backed by evidence — the default verdict is REJECT because most gaps are already covered by compiler/analyzer/build-time checks. Use when: 'audit automations', 'what automations should we add', 'are we missing any ho…
Observability
Read and report on locally captured Claude Code telemetry — OTEL DuckDB store, collector, optional Aspire dashboard, hook-event JSONL, ccusage — with cross-session trend reports and store pruning. Use when: 'claude observability', 'OTEL', 'collector', 'token burn rate', 'hook latency', 'cost breakdown', 'how am I doing'; read-only except the explicit clean action.
Do Your Research
Re-anchor research and no-assumptions discipline mid-session, then self-audit and correct the current work. Use when: 'do your research', 'you're guessing', 'cite that', 'stop assuming', 'evidence, not vibes', 'you skipped verification', 'that's training-data recall', 'research this properly', 'fact-check', 'fact check this', 'make sure that's right', or at conversation start to set the posture.…
Reason Dont Recite
Re-anchor the discipline that inherited content is evidence of what is, never self-justifying authority — then audit the work in flight for decisions coasting on precedent and re-derive them from first principles. Use when: 'reason don't recite', 'why is it this way', 'challenge that convention', 'you're deferring to precedent', \"that's just how it's done\", 'question the inherited design', 'sto…
Pick For The Problem
Re-anchor the discipline that a tool, library, framework, language, or approach is chosen to fit the actual problem — not reached for out of habit, availability, incumbency, or preconception — then audit the selection in flight and re-derive it from the problem. Use when: 'pick for the problem', 'right tool for the job', 'which library should we use', 'what framework', 'should we build this or us…
Morning Brief
Prints the operator's read-only morning view for the current GitHub repo in one pass — open counts per queue label (needs-triage / ready / needs-decision / needs-human), the gh-native merge-ready PR list, parked decisions with their RECOMMENDED lines, and loop-lane telemetry freshness (last-cycle age + flags). Use when: 'morning brief', 'morning view', 'ops dashboard', 'what needs attention', 'da…
Lookup
Look up current library documentation, API references, and code examples via Context7 (ctx7 CLI or the Context7 MCP server — same backend) whenever a question names a library, framework, SDK, CLI tool, or cloud service, including API syntax, configuration, setup, and version-migration questions. Actions: lookup <library> <query> (default) | update (CLI upgrade + upstream drift check). For CLI/MCP…
Reuse Or Replace
Re-anchor the anti-fragmentation discipline that when an established way of doing something already exists — a code idiom, structure, error-handling approach, naming shape, doc format, or process — new work REUSES that established way or openly REPLACES it (migrate the old uses, record the decision); it never silently stands up a second, parallel way alongside. Then audit the work in flight for a…
Lanes
Start, restart, stop, and check loop lanes as named background Claude Code sessions seeded from canonical prompt files — the scripted replacement for the manual morning refresh (cancel loop, clear, re-paste the canonical prompt) across N lanes on a machine. `start`/`restart` first pull the repo and refresh the plugin marketplace, then launch each configured lane with its per-lane model/effort. Us…
Shape
Shape the assistant's output for a reader with ADHD — and anyone who wants action-first, low-friction responses. Lead with the concrete next action, number multi-step work, restate state across turns, cap and rank lists, give concrete time estimates, make wins visible, and cut preamble, recap, and closers. Use when: 'ADHD-friendly', 'action-first', 'give me the structured version', 'lead with wha…
Debug
Debug and diagnose broken behavior via a disciplined six-phase loop: build feedback loop → reproduce → hypothesise → instrument → fix + regression test → cleanup. Use when: \"diagnose this\", \"debug this\", \"why is X broken\", \"X is throwing\", \"something is wrong with\", \"investigate this bug\", \"performance regression\", \"this is slow\", \"intermittent failure\", broken behavior in UI /…
Setup
Verify the desktop-notification hook's runtime prerequisites and per-OS channel configuration for this machine. Use when: 'set up desktop-notification', 'configure desktop-notification', 'is desktop-notification working', notifications silently aren't firing, or the hook reported a missing prerequisite. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (resolve what check found). Re-runnab…
Plugins
Bring a machine's plugin fleet current on demand: marketplace refresh, update the plugins that actually load (including in-repo project/local-scope installs), install new catalog plugins per policy, detect scope divergence, and surface (never silently fix) drift — with a terse actionable report. Actions: sync (default, mutating), audit (read-only dry run), converge (explicit scope consolidation).…
Script The Deterministic Work
Re-anchor the discipline that purely deterministic sub-work — counting, diffing, sorting, transforming, matching, sweeping, arithmetic — gets a script that runs and returns real output, and the model reasons only afterward over that output — then audit the work in flight for transforms executed by hand and re-derive them from a script's result. Use when: 'script the deterministic work', 'you shou…
Improve
Scan an existing codebase for module-level friction and architecture improvement opportunities. Explores for shallow modules (interface nearly as complex as implementation), seam leaks, and locality gaps; presents candidates as a self-contained HTML report; runs an interview loop on the selected candidate, with a Design-It-Twice branch that fans out parallel subagents to design the interface seve…
Changelog
Ingest Claude Code changelog entries and integrate them into the current repo — fetch (read-only display), diff (impact analysis, no edits), status (applied versions), and apply (full integrate pipeline, explicit user intent only). Use when: 'new cc version', 'what changed in claude code', 'apply changelog', a new CC release is mentioned, or the user pastes changelog text.
Clarify
Faithfully clarify a dense, decision-heavy message you were just handed so you can act on it — chunk it into one-decision-at-a-time, define the session's own jargon, and surface exactly what you must decide, with every recommendation's operative terms quoted verbatim and no loss of precision or reading level. For big or decision-dense content, renders an HTML decision table (item | recommendation…
Recheck Against Upstream Deep
Escalate upstream-conformance discipline to a heavy fan-out: dispatch fresh-context subagents doc-by-doc over a whole subsystem, framework, or repo, comparing each surface against its CURRENT official upstream docs, then report an inline divergence ledger. Use when: 'recheck the whole subsystem against upstream', 'audit every surface against the docs', 'deep upstream conformance pass', 'check the…
Audit Comment Residue
Classify code comments for four residue shapes — history narration (\"used to… now…\"), plan/session references (\"Task 2 replaces the old…\", \"in this PR\"), conversational antecedents (\"per your request\", \"as you asked\"), and ticket/PR/branch back-references a future reader will never see — emitting Tier 1 (remove) and Tier 2 (review) findings with treatment guidance; read-only, no edits a…
Audit Instructions
Audit locally-owned Claude Code instruction surfaces — user + project CLAUDE.md, .claude/rules, skill bodies, agent definitions, prompt-type hooks, output styles — for instructions current models no longer need: prior-model workarounds, over-prescriptive scaffolding, bare prohibitions, reasoning-echo directives, stale examples — plus instructions that misstate Claude Code's own behavior, cite a f…
Do Your Research Deep
Escalate research discipline to a heavy verification fan-out over a TYPED FULL INVENTORY of the session's claims — assumptions, asserted facts, concrete specifics (paths, defaults, flags, signatures), and load-bearing premises — verifying each against a primary source at a configurable depth (tiered by default, or full), then report a per-item ledger with verdict, source, source tier, consensus c…
