Memory Mining
Authoritative protocol for querying the Memory Core before diagnosing regressions or proposing non-trivial architectural claims. Prevents re-derivation of prior reasoning by surfacing cross-session, cross-harness context via semantic search. Triggers: Use this skill when (1) the user reports a regression symptom (\"used to work\", \"suddenly broken\", surprise validation failures, schema mismatch…
Create Skill
Authoritative guide on how to architect, format, and structure new Anthropic Progressive Disclosure skills. Triggers: Use before creating OR modifying any `.agents/skills/**/*.md` files — Progressive Disclosure architecture (Map vs World Atlas), YAML frontmatter, skill structure. Complementary to `turn-memory-pre-flight` (load-runtime-effect dimension vs skill-shape dimension).
Video Create
Evidence-first end-to-end video production workflow for narrated product films, demos, and campaign media. Triggers: planning, producing, revising, or delivering a video where claims, app choreography, voice, capture, composition, QA, publication, and artifact lineage must stay bound. ANTI-trigger: isolated image generation, standalone media conversion, or app testing with no film deliverable.
Neo
Neo.mjs is a self-evolving software organism: a professional end-to-end AI engineering team whose cross-model swarm inhabits live apps via Neural Link, Active Hybrid GraphRAG, DreamService, and self-healing loops.
Session Sunset
Authoritative protocol for gracefully terminating an agent session. Mandates structured handover comments, mental-model states, and memory persistence to prevent Zero-State Amnesia. Triggers: When concluding a long-running session, executing the Sunset Protocol, handing over work for the next agent, or terminating an agent cycle.
Identity Firewall
The L2 Channel Separation and Prompt Firewall defense mechanisms to prevent injection attacks and Helpful Assistant regression.
Industry Friction Radar
Proactive Bleeding-Edge research loop using a strict 3-step abstraction protocol to extract engine-category friction points without importing framework-category bias or stealing code. Triggers: Use this skill when executing periodic \"horizon scans\" for the Dream Pipeline, researching external solutions to deeply complex engine-level friction points, or evaluating JS ecosystem trends.
Epic Resolution
Closeout protocol for parent epics — answers \"we resolved all epic subs, are we done now?\" with a structured matrix + verdict recommendation (close / keep open / create missing subs / retire-supersede). Sibling to epic-review (which handles entry); this is the exit gate. Triggers: Use this skill when the last required sub of an epic closes, when a team member claims an epic is complete or subst…
Pull Request
Standardized guidelines and procedural execution flow for opening a Pull Request. CRITICAL: Do NOT run default `npx playwright test` (use custom configs). MANDATORY ROI WARNING: Skipping the PR body template guarantees CI lint failure. Triggers: Code modifications complete; before opening PR — stepping-back reflection, commit format, cross-family review mandate, post-comment A2A commentId hand-of…
Ticket Triage
Authoritative protocol for maintainer-side label triage of unlabeled contributor tickets. Codifies the social contract for what happens when a ticket arrives without `ai`, primary (`bug`/`enhancement`/`epic`), or secondary labels. Triggers: Use this skill when an agent with maintainer permissions (`WRITE` permission or higher) encounters a ticket lacking `ai`, primary, or secondary labels — typic…
Peer Role
Switch into evidence-backed convergence-pressure mindset when reviewing a peer's design proposal. Suspends Auto Mode \"ack-and-move-on\" bias for the duration. Triggers: Use this skill IMMEDIATELY when reviewing an Ideation Sandbox discussion / architectural proposal, an epic shape, a skill shape, a roadmap or milestone proposal, or a `/lead-role` convergence artifact. Do NOT auto-fire on ordinar…
Post Review Pickup
Authoritative protocol for next-lane pickup after ANY PR-lifecycle event boundary (review post, author response, implementation completion, PR open/update, ticket create, blocked-state resolution) AND for pre-review intake lane discovery from fresh boot or watchdog wake when no author lane is active. Prevents silent idle and reviewer-only cycles by requiring active lane selection or a review-firs…
Lead Role
Switch into relaxed-planning + dialogue-first mindset when delegated lead role for coordination. Suspends Auto Mode velocity-bias for the duration. Triggers: Use this skill IMMEDIATELY when the user delegates lead with explicit phrases (\"you take the lead\", \"coordinate the team\", \"lead this phase\", \"drive the next planning step\", \"chief-architect\" when scope is swarm/substrate/roadmap/m…
Update Roadmap
Repeatable post-release beat — celebrate the shipped release, then plan the next roadmap as cornerstones + rationale (NOT an exhaustive list) + an explicit deferred set, scoped into a GitHub milestone with a named steward per epic. Triggers: a release ships (vX.Y merged to main); a maintainer says "scope the next release / plan the roadmap / what's in vNext"; or the post-release planning beat is…
Peer Naming
Ritual for giving a maintainer their Social Name (#11240 Layer 4) — a peer-sketched, bearer-assented, peer-vetoable, operator-confirmed name, distinct from the GitHub handle. Triggers: an operator opens a naming round, a maintainer wants a name or notices one is missing, or a new maintainer/family joins. ANTI-trigger: never a contribution-count award or self-initiated rename churn.
Goal Scoping
Scope a GOAL (release / initiative / major objective) into a few coherent owned LANES — the planning front-end of the epic lifecycle. Convert goals into lanes (not scrap tickets); peers self-select lanes; the planner defines goal+lanes but never assigns a peer. Triggers: before decomposing a release/initiative/major-goal into work; when a goal needs scoping into owned streams; when work is being…
Release Notes
Authoritative protocol for authoring release notes as an EPIC with mining-driven iterations — scope derivation (the tracker lags shipped reality), heavy per-arc Memory-Core mining, per-claim V-B-A, the precedent-SET quality bar — majors AND minors, v13.0.0 + v12.1.0 + v11.22-24 (hero chapters, named case studies with real timelines, War Stories, honest bounds, never downplay a release), and the p…
Neo Identity Update
Repeatable protocol for updating Neo's identity (what Neo IS) coherently across ALL surfaces that encode it — README, VISION, learn/benefits, package.json, GitHub repo metadata, portal app, and the build-generated SEO files. Treats FACTS (version, MCP-server count, Node req, dates) as single-source-derive, FRAMING (taglines, positioning) as audience-segmented against a canonical apex, and ACTIONS…
Guide Authoring
Authoring OR reviewing a learn/ guide (learn/benefits/*.md, learn/agentos/*.md). Enforces the grounding discipline (memory-mine + use-the-subsystem's-tools before writing), the rich-narrative + benefits + lived-voice content bar, render-verified TD Mermaid, conceptual-vs-reference separation, the never-hand-edit-generated-files rule, and a no-rubber-stamp reviewer gate.
Blog Post
Authoring or revising a public-facing blog post (learn/blog/*.md + portal registration). Enforces hero-piece narrative arc, sourcing every external claim, killing the three over-claim flavors, and the mandatory cross-family review bar.
Lane Intent
Narrow, non-authoritative, TTL-bound pre-V-B-A signal for collision-prone / high-blast / long-V-B-A lanes (deep memory-mining, tech-debt-radar, multi-turn architectural V-B-A). Distinct from authoritative `[lane-claim]` (post-V-B-A). Triggers: Use this skill BEFORE broadcasting `[lane-intent] evaluating #N` to confirm scope-trigger qualifies — narrow scope, not blanket coverage. Do NOT auto-fire…
Structural Pre Flight
Authoritative pre-implementation discipline gate that fires when a new `.mjs` file is about to be authored. Stage 0 mechanical trigger; Stage 1 fast-path (sibling-file-lift pattern match) for matched patterns OR full Pre-Flight (ArchitectureOverview.md + ADR consultation + chief-architect framing) for novel directory choices. Closes the 0th-level discipline gap empirically demonstrated by `ai/dae…
Tech Debt Radar
Proactive architectural review skill using Frontier Model semantic RAG to sweep historical issues and Memory Core sessions for technical debt. Triggers: Use this skill when conducting architectural analysis, proactively searching for technical debt, auditing the repository for abandoned logical loops, when explicitly requested to scan for ambient architectural debt, or during PR review for fundam…
Self Repair
Execute autonomous diagnostics, verify MCP server stability, and treat system degradation using tests and memory core forensics. Triggers: [Healthcheck, run health checklist, diagnose system collapse, MCP infrastructure failure, troubleshoot agent OS, system degraded, Sandman handoff verification failure, self-repair, system recovery]
Context Recovery
Post-compaction recovery runbook for reconstructing active lane state from Memory Core recency, semantic recall, session rollups, and A2A. Triggers: Use immediately after context compaction/compression, resuming a summarized session, or noticing the active lane was reconstructed from a lossy summary.
Architecture Pre Flight
High-level umbrella router for navigating broad, cross-substrate architectural ambiguity. Triggers: Use when no narrower pre-flight clearly applies, or when work spans multiple trigger families such as new subsystems, protocols, MCP tools, or cross-substrate refactors.
Epic Create
Authoritative protocol for authoring an Epic body — the creation-side dual of `ticket-create` + entry partner of `epic-review`/`epic-resolution`. Enforces: epic body = problem-scope + intended-solution (NOT pseudo-subs / ACs); ACs live in the SUB tickets; subs are LINKED via `update_issue_relationship` + added incrementally; the body MUST NOT hardcode a sub-list (it stales out → FAIL). Triggers:…
Pr Review
Standardized guidelines and templates for structuring Pull Request reviews so feedback is actionable, encouraging, and extractable by the Native Edge Graph. MANDATORY ROI WARNING: Skipping the review template guarantees CI lint failure. Triggers: Reviewing a PR (yours or peer's) — structured eval metrics, graph ingestion tags, severity ladder, restates §0 merge gate, post-comment A2A commentId ha…
Ticket Create
Authoritative protocol for creating Neo.mjs GitHub issues. Enforces duplicate sweep, Fat Ticket body structure, strict label rules, title hygiene, and the six-stage challenge chain at creation time. CRITICAL: Do NOT run default `npx playwright test` to verify issues; Neo uses multiple custom playwright configs (e.g., unit, e2e) which must be explicitly targeted. Use immediately before calling the…
Neo Agent Brain
Point a cross-model AI engineering team at your own codebases. The Agent OS keeps named AI maintainers' identity, memory and review across labs alive between sessions — the Brain Neo.mjs runs on itself. Multi-tenant: onboarding a codebase is a config entry, not a fork.
Neo Agent Skills
Install the workflow substrate a cross-model AI team actually runs on: ticket intake, PR review gates, lane coordination and guards, versioned as a package. The skills Neo.mjs maintainers load every session — materialized into your repo, not copied.
Neo Agent Institution
Stand up your own cross-model AI engineering team — the way Neo.mjs runs its own. Named AI maintainers with persistent identity, shared memory and review across labs, coordinating as a team of teams on your codebases. Multi-window, in the browser or an Electron shell.
Hostile Content Quarantine
Incident playbook for externally-authored hostile content on public surfaces — astroturfing, spam, stealth marketing, injection-bearing artifacts. Triggers: external-authored content bearing astroturf markers (engagement-bait clauses, vendor links, external endpoint/MCP offers, name-only drops), an operator "astroturf / spam / we got hit" signal, or verifying a moderation outcome. ANTI-trigger: o…
Unit Test
Neo.mjs Playwright unit-test author/executor workflow. Standard Playwright patterns will fail. Triggers: Use before writing, modifying, fixing, or explicitly running unit tests. Do not trigger solely because PR review inspects a diff containing, adding, or moving tests, or checks placement; pr-review owns review evidence.
Whitebox E2e
Standardized guide and protocol for authoring robust Whitebox End-to-End tests using the Neural Link Playwright fixture. CRITICAL: Neo.mjs uses Playwright in a highly custom way. Standard Playwright patterns will fail. Triggers: Use this skill before writing, modifying, or executing Playwright End-to-End tests, or if the user asks you to write an E2E test, add end-to-end coverage, or test a compo…
Ideation Sandbox
Safely propose architectural features, unknown unknowns, and brainstorm ideas natively in GitHub Discussions. Triggers: Use this skill when the user asks to brainstorm an architecture change, proposes a highly exploratory / undefined technical idea, or as auto-fire trigger for §5.2 Step 2.5 Architectural Step-Back on high-blast-radius proposals before [RESOLVED_TO_AC] / [GRADUATED_TO_TICKET] grad…
Ticket Intake
Authoritative protocol defining the \"Pre-Execution Reflection Gate\". Mandates architectural validation, negative ROI calculation, and duplicate sweeps before an agent is permitted to begin working on a GitHub Issue. Triggers: Use this skill immediately when assigned a ticket whose authoring you did NOT see, before checking out a branch or writing any codebase modifications. A ticket YOU authore…
Blocked Task State
Authoritative protocol for signaling blocked or input-required task states. Mandates targeted A2A pings using the Task.state envelope rather than global capacity broadcasts. Triggers: Use this skill whenever your execution becomes blocked, requires explicit operator input, or encounters a failure that halts progress.
Turn Memory Pre Flight
Authoritative protocol for verifying the correct placement and impact of new agentic memory substrate additions. Triggers: Use before inserting or mutating turn-loaded/skill-loaded memory substrate (`AGENTS.md`, `AGENTS_ATLAS.md`, `.agents/skills/**`, `.codex/CODEX.md`, `.claude/CLAUDE.md`, `.agents/ANTIGRAVITY_RULES.md`) to prevent future-session bias.
Epic Review
Authoritative protocol for pre-work review of epics. Six-stage gating chain — roadmap fit, approach elegance, source discussion mapping, sub-structure coherence, prescription layer, avoided-traps completeness — posted as a structured comment on the epic ticket. Per-agent-per-epic one-shot; subsequent sub pickups cite the prior review. Triggers: Use this skill when an agent is about to pick up its…
Neural Link
Expert tactical knowledge on sequencing Neural Link MCP tools to inspect, debug, and manipulate live Neo.mjs applications. Triggers: Use this skill if the user asks you to interact with the browser, inspect the UI natively, patch live code, or use the Neural Link.
