Create Codebase Analysis
Analyze the existing internal code and architecture a feature will touch, extend, or replace, and assess each part's changeability (reuse, extend, refactor, replace) with rationale, risk, and migration impact.
Create Documentation
Create documentation for a feature or component following the Divio documentation framework (tutorials, how-to guides, reference, explanation).
Create Assumption
Record an assumption made during implementation with its basis, risk, and validation plan.
Create Plan
Create an implementation plan with phases, milestones, dependencies, and risks from a specification or requirements document.
Create Message
Improve a message the user wants to send by removing negative tone, providing positive formulation, and adding actionable suggestions when relevant.
Check Duplicates
Check a GitHub issue for duplicate issues and existing fix PRs before investing effort.
Backpropagate Sdlc
Walk the SDLC artifact chain in reverse (code back to issue) to verify end-to-end consistency and traceability. Use when the user says /backpropagate-sdlc, "backpropagate", "verify SDLC trace", or wants to detect drift accumulated across artifacts after the forward pipeline has run.
Create Readme
Generate a README.md for a project using a structured template with badges, feature lists, roadmap, and setup instructions.
Create Pr Description
Generate a PR description based on changes. If a repository/issue is provided, use its description to assess issue completeness.
End Day
Closes the workday with GitHub and Slack summaries, overall notes, timeline, and next-day standup. Use when the user says /end-day, end of day, EOD, or daily wrap-up.
Create Decision
Record an architectural or implementation decision with context, alternatives considered, trade-offs, and consequences.
Developer Trust Profile
Create, view, or update a developer trust profile for a GitHub user. Tracks trust level, strengths, weaknesses, PR patterns, and review history.
Create Feasibility
Assess technical, financial, and operational viability of a feature before committing to requirements.
Create Implementation
Implement a feature or task following the specification and plan, producing working, tested code.
Divio Documentation
Write or review documentation following the Divio/Diataxis system, which defines four types: tutorials, how-to guides, reference, and explanation. This is the comprehensive reference skill; create-documentation delegates to this for detailed guidance.
Create Existing Solutions
Survey existing solutions (libraries, products, internal code, standards, prior art) that address the requirements, evaluate their fit, and recommend whether to adopt, extend, or build.
Create Goals
Define project goals, objectives, key results, and KPIs so features align to measurable outcomes.
Create Issue
Create a GitHub issue with background, prioritized acceptance criteria (Must/Should), and a justified time budget.
Create Mockups
Create UI mockups, wireframes, and screen designs for a feature from its specification, so the visual and interaction design is settled before implementation.
Create Tests
Create a test plan and test cases covering acceptance criteria, edge cases, and failure scenarios.
Create Article
Write a high-quality article given a target audience and relevant sources. Produces a structured, well-researched article tailored to the audience's knowledge level and interests.
Create Needs Assessment
Evaluate whether a proposed feature addresses a genuine need before investing in feasibility or requirements, examining the problem, stakeholders, alternatives, and cost of inaction.
Arxiv Article
Downloads an arXiv HTML article, converts it to markdown with pandoc, archives it, and returns a structured summary. Use when processing a single arXiv paper given its HTML URL (e.g., https://arxiv.org/html/2504.12345). Called by the arxiv-catchup skill but can also be invoked directly.
Create Specifications
Create a technical specification from a requirements document, covering architecture, data models, API contracts, and sequences.
Audit Observability
Identify missing logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting for production services.
Audit Attention
Audit how your time splits between compounding and depreciating activities using the two-year test. Use when the user says /audit-attention, wants to check attention allocation, asks "where is my time going", or wants to know what to delegate vs. protect.
Audit Dependencies
Audit project dependencies for outdated versions, known vulnerabilities, unmaintained packages, and license issues, then produce a prioritized upgrade and replacement plan.
Create Requirements
Draft a requirements document with functional and non-functional requirements from a feature brief or issue.
Create Learnings
Capture learnings after completing a feature, sprint, or project in a structured retrospective format.
Create Service Levels
Define SLOs, SLIs, SLAs, and error budgets for a service so reliability targets are explicit and measurable.
Create Telemetry
Define analytics events, success metrics, and telemetry for a feature so usage can be measured from day one.
Deploy Pr
Deploy merged changes to the target environment, run smoke tests, and verify the rollback plan.
Audit Security
Scan the codebase for code-level security vulnerabilities including hardcoded secrets, injection risks, missing auth checks, and insecure patterns, then produce a prioritized remediation plan.
Check Linked Pr
Detect pull requests someone else linked to the issue being worked on, then offer to continue, stop, or review them. Use mid-flow to avoid duplicating in-progress work and to decide whether to depend on an external PR instead.
Audit Sdlc
Run multiple audit skills against the project and produce a unified findings report with prioritized action items.
Create Team Api
Define a team's Team API (Team Topologies), covering team type, ownership boundaries, services, inputs, outputs, dependencies, and interaction modes with other teams.
Compare Skills
Compare skills between two directories (mine and theirs) to identify best practices from "theirs" that can be adopted into "mine". Produces a prioritized list of improvements with concrete suggestions.
Configure Labels
Configure the standard label set in a GitHub repository to match the SDLC labeling conventions used by triage and issue management skills.
Create Observability
Define logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting for a feature so production health can be monitored from day one.
Describe Colleague
Generate a profile for a colleague based on their Slack and GitHub activity, covering strengths, weaknesses, interests, avoids, and other relevant information.
Arxiv Catchup
Fetches new arXiv cs.AI papers published since the last processed date, processes each paper's HTML version via the arxiv-article skill, and advances the date checkpoint. Use when the user says /arxiv-catchup, catch up on arXiv, or wants to read recent AI papers.
Create Tasks Decomposition
Decompose a feature or plan into discrete, actionable tasks with effort estimates and dependencies.
Directory To Spec
Create a spec directory with specification files per major feature for code in the current directory and its subdirectories.
Create Team Charter

Analyze Git Churn
Analyze git history to identify high-churn files and suggest targeted improvements such as refactoring, test coverage, dead code removal, or library replacements.
Check Issues Status
Orchestrate check-issue-status across a list of issues to find which are already addressed in the code. Supports checking every open issue in a repository, issues authored by a specific user, or issues matching a custom search query, and these scopes combine. Use to triage a backlog for stale or already-implemented issues, audit a user's open reports, or filter a query before investing effort. Tr…
Check Issue Status
Determine whether a GitHub issue is already addressed in the codebase by extracting its requested behavior and verifying it against the code. Works for feature requests and bug reports in any format, with or without formal acceptance criteria. Use before starting work on an issue, or to triage stale issues, to avoid implementing or fixing something that is already present. Triggers on "is this is…
Create Placeholder Issue
Create a placeholder GitHub issue for a pending SDLC feature (one created without an issue, with a p-prefixed directory) and promote it to issue-driven form by renaming its directory and rewriting FEAT- cross-references. Use when the user says /create-placeholder-issue, wants to promote a pending feature, wants to back an existing SDLC feature with a GitHub issue, or wants to convert a p-prefixed…
Automate Session
Analyze what was done in the current session and surface concrete ways the workflow could have been automated to remove the user from the loop. Use when the user asks /automate-session, "how could this be automated?", or "what could we automate from this session?".
Create Pr
Create a GitHub pull request with a structured description linked to its issue, with acceptance criteria coverage and reviewer assignment. Embeds visual proof that was captured beforehand by /validate-implementation (single asset, or a before/after pair for bug fixes) by reading the proof manifest; create-pr is a consumer and does not capture recordings itself. If no proof was captured, it omits…
