BuildDown skills, Dev channel: follows the testing branch. Install builddown or builddown-dev, not both.
Plugin builddown-dev 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 first step before 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 this project', or when no KG repo exists
bd-kg-refreshRefresh a project's knowledge graph (KG) via the orchestrator's refresh rail (admin role). Preflights the orchestrator, reports scope from the rail's manifest reconcile, triggers the refresh rail through the orchestrator MCP (admin role), polls the five rail stages to serving, then verifies the depl
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-mega-kg-refreshLocal, interactive KG refresh: interrogate the served graph, propose and test ingest changes with the user, open a PR on the KG repo with manifest/ingest changes, then hand off to bd-kg-refresh (the rail) to produce the snapshot. Trigger when the user says 'bd-mega-kg-refresh', 'change the ingest',
bd-sharedShared procedures and reference files that every other BuildDown skill reads by relative path (session-start.md, pickup-label.md, kg-recon.md, the tracker adapters, and the rest). This is not a skill a person runs. It carries a SKILL.md only so that claude.ai loads this folder next to the other skil
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, or the KG refresh status. Discovers the bound orchestrator MCP's tools at session start and routes questions by their descriptions — new
