Planning and landing skills for AI-assisted software delivery (bd-build-up, bd-build-down, bd-summit-push, bd-smoke-jumper, bd-belay-on, bd-project-setup, and more).
Plugin builddown from marketplace builddown in BuildDownAI/skills. Commands read from the repo's manifest — 26 days ago.
bd-belay-onPause-and-recon pattern for multi-tool sessions. Trigger this skill when the user says 'bd-belay-on', 'belay on', 'hold while I check', 'sending to {tool}', 'need code eyes on this', 'back from recon', 'here are the results', or when a session hits a question that can't be answered from the current
bd-build-downRun a bd-build-down session — drive open PRs to merge. Trigger this skill when the user says 'bd-build-down', 'let's do a bd-build-down', 'drive PRs to merge', 'PR triage', or asks to review and merge open pull requests. A bd-build-down is an active sprint-closure session — survey the issue tracker
bd-build-upPlan and file a milestone's worth of tracker issues. Trigger this skill when the user says 'bd-build-up', 'let's do a bd-build-up', 'plan the issues', 'break this down into issues', 'convergence plan', 'design brief', 'build from this design', or describes a product objective and wants it decomposed
bd-high-planPlan a new capability at high altitude — a small set of simple, discrete, separately testable steps (the count agreed with the user) decided one question at a time, captured as a single planning parent issue BEFORE any detailed decomposition. Trigger this skill when the user says 'bd-high-plan', 'hi
bd-kg-createBUILD a project's knowledge-graph (KG) repo from the BuildDownAI/bd-knowledge-graph-base template — the missing first step before bd-project-setup can bind it and bd-kg-refresh can build it. Trigger when the user says 'bd-kg-create', 'create a KG', 'build a knowledge graph repo', 'stand up a KG for
bd-kg-refreshRefresh a project's knowledge graph (KG) so hybrid search reflects the current code + tracker. The KG is served by the orchestrator's /mcp — REFRESH = REDEPLOY: run the ingest locally in the KG source repo, commit the snapshot parts, redeploy the orchestrator (the image build re-materializes graph +
bd-kg-searchSearch this project's knowledge graph (KG) directly via hybrid search — the fast way to ask what past issues, PRs, decisions, and build-up/build-down learnings already exist, without running a full build-up/build-down session. Trigger when the user says 'bd-kg-search', 'kg search', 'search the KG fo
bd-mega-build-upbd-build-up, but it grills you first. Same decomposition rubric, same tracker filing, plus an adversarial design review that works the open questions in rounds until nothing is silently assumed — and captures what survives as repo ADRs and glossary entries. Trigger when the user says 'bd-mega-build-
bd-project-setupWire this repo's BuildDown skills to concrete tools for a project — write exactly ONE tracker MCP server (.mcp.json) for the project's tracker.kind (Linear OR Jira, never both), pre-approve it, drive its OAuth from inside the session, and bind the {{PLACEHOLDER}} tokens (tracker workspace/team, GitH
bd-smoke-jumperAutonomous smoke-testing agent for PRs. Trigger this skill when the user says 'smoke-jump', 'smoke test', 'bd-smoke-jumper', 'test this PR', 'test these PRs', 'verify the preview', 'does this PR actually work', or asks to validate a preview deploy before merge. bd-smoke-jumper parachutes onto one or
bd-summit-pushStrategic assault planning for a milestone push. Trigger this skill when the user says 'bd-summit-push', 'summit push', 'strategic push', 'optimize the push', 'plan the assault', 'what order should we send these', or asks to evaluate a bd-build-up plan before filing or sending issues to the AI codin
bd-super-build-downAutonomous, lean-back bd-build-down. Trigger this skill when the user says 'bd-super-build-down', 'super bd-build-down', 'autonomous bd-build-down', 'lean-back bd-build-down', 'just land everything', 'overnight bd-build-down', or asks for a bd-build-down that runs at speed without narration. bd-supe
bd-system-questionsAsk the orchestrator direct questions about the system: why a ticket isn't running, whether a pipeline is stuck, overall health, the project list, the runner mode. Trigger when the user says 'bd-system-questions', 'why isn't <ticket> running', 'why wasn't my ticket picked up', 'is the pipeline stuck
