dev-skills
Autonomous dev workflow in one plugin: 33 skills (wayfinder mapping, design, api design, openapi spec, human-friendly docs, mermaid diagrams, intake tracker artifacts, github actions, ui prototype, throwaway prototype, plan, implement, TDD, e2e testing, smoke testing, review, QA, debug, refactor, perf, release, clean up, git safety, conventional commits, brainstorming, ponytail minimalism + its review/audit/debt passes, caveman terseness), 4 sub-agents (researcher, implementer, fixer, tester), and the /dev-skills-loop orchestrator command — each skill with a lite/full/ultra delivery mode.
Plugin dev-skills from marketplace amjadjibon-skills in amjadjibon/skills. Commands read from the repo's manifest — 1 month ago.
This plugin runs code on your machine — its hooks fire automatically on events like tool use. The exact commands are listed below; read them before installing.

Skills (33)
dev-api-designREST/GraphQL design — resource/URL shape, pagination, versioning, HATEOAS, localization, GraphQL schema-first/DataLoader/Relay. Trigger on "design this API", "REST or GraphQL", "version/localize this API", "review this API design". For the OpenAPI document itself, use `openapi-spec`.
dev-cavemanUltra-compressed output. Drop articles, filler, pleasantries, hedging, and tool-call narration; keep every technical fact, exact symbol, and error string. Use on "caveman", "caveman mode", "be brief", "be terse", "less tokens", "stop explaining", "shorter answers", or when responses run too long.
dev-clean-upHousekeeping — delete merged local and remote branches, prune stale tracking refs, close resolved GitHub issues, remove leftover worktrees. Use on "clean up", "prune branches", "remove merged branches", "close issues", "tidy up", "housekeeping".
dev-code-reviewReview a diff, branch, or PR for correctness bugs, security issues, and simplification opportunities; findings to .spec/<feature-name>/REVIEW.md. Trigger on "review this", "code review", "security review", "audit this", or after something is implemented and needs checking before merge.
dev-create-planWrite .spec/<feature-name>/PLAN.md with phased, checkbox-driven steps for a feature, refactor, upgrade, or infrastructure change. Trigger on "create/make a plan", "plan this feature/refactor/upgrade", any request to document steps before coding, and proactively when complexity warrants a written pla
dev-debugSystematically debug a failing test, error, or unexpected behavior — reproduce, isolate root cause, fix minimally, verify. Use on "debug", "fix this bug", "it's broken", "this is failing", "why is this happening", or a shared error message, stack trace, or failing test output.
dev-designDecide a feature's shape before planning — system design, data model, API contract, UI/UX, whichever apply — and write .spec/<feature-name>/DESIGN.md. Trigger on "design this feature/API/schema/UI", "how should we structure this", or between dev-research and dev-create-plan.
dev-docsWrite documentation someone will actually read — READMEs, guides, API references, runbooks — short, scannable, example-first, and verified against the code. Trigger on "write docs", "document this", "write a README", "explain how to use this", "our docs are too long/confusing", or a doc that needs r
dev-e2e-testingWrite and maintain Playwright end-to-end tests that drive the whole system through its real UI/API — setup, fixtures, test independence, flake handling, CI wiring. Trigger on "write e2e tests", "set up Playwright", "test the full user flow", "our e2e tests are flaky", or when tests/e2e needs work.
dev-implement-planExecute an implementation plan from .spec/<feature-name>/PLAN.md — tick checkboxes, commit each phase. Trigger on "implement/execute/continue/resume the plan", "start phase 1", "go" right after a plan was created, or whenever there is a PLAN.md to build, even if the user never says "plan".
dev-loopRun an autonomous plan → implement → review loop for a feature, iterating until the code review passes and pausing for approval before pushing. Use on "loop on this", "keep going until it passes review", "autonomous dev loop", "plan implement and review", or a self-correcting agent workflow.
dev-perfProfile, optimize, and benchmark performance — measure baseline first, find the real bottleneck, optimize one thing at a time, prove it with numbers. Use on "it's slow", "optimize this", "improve performance", "reduce latency", "profile this", or shared timing/benchmark output.
dev-ponytail-auditRepo-wide over-engineering scan — the whole tree instead of a diff, ranked by what to delete, simplify, or replace with a stdlib/native equivalent. Use on "audit this codebase", "audit for over-engineering", "what can I delete from this repo", "find the bloat", "where is this over-built". Reports; a
dev-ponytail-debtHarvest every `TODO`/`FIXME` marker into one ledger with ceiling, trigger, owner, and age, flagging the ones that name no trigger. Use on "ponytail debt", "yagni debt", "what did we defer", "list the shortcuts", "collect the TODOs", "TODO ledger". Reports; changes no code.
dev-ponytail-reviewReview a diff or branch for over-engineering only — reinvented stdlib, dependencies the platform covers, one-implementation abstractions, dead flexibility, code that shrinks. Use on "review for over-engineering", "is this over-engineered", "what can we delete", "simplify review". Correctness, securi
dev-ponytailBuild the smallest thing that works — question whether the code needs to exist, reuse what the repo has, stdlib over a dependency, native platform over a library, one line over fifty. Use on any coding task, and on "ponytail", "be lazy", "yagni", "keep it simple", "minimal solution", "don't over-eng
dev-qaAnalyse test coverage, identify untested paths, write the missing tests (unit, integration, e2e), and produce a QA report. Use on "QA this", "write tests", "improve test coverage", "add tests for", "test this feature", "what's not tested", or a quality gate before release.
dev-refactorRefactor existing code without changing behavior — extract functions, reduce duplication, simplify logic, improve naming, against a test baseline taken before and verified after. Use on "refactor this", "clean up", "simplify", "extract", "reduce duplication", "improve naming", or a request for struc
dev-releaseCut a release — derive the version bump from conventional commits since the last tag, generate a changelog, bump version files, tag, publish a GitHub release. Use on "release", "cut a release", "ship it", "tag a version", "bump the version", "publish a release", "generate a changelog".
dev-researchAnswer one scoped question before code is written — a third-party API contract, a library capability, a doc lookup, or which approach to take — verified with spikes and web/doc lookups, written to .spec/<feature-name>/RESEARCH.md. Trigger on "research/investigate/spike this", "explore options", "whi
dev-review-planReview a PLAN.md before implementation — vague tasks, missing completion criteria, risky assumptions, wrong phase ordering, scope issues — to .spec/<feature-name>/PLAN-REVIEW.md with a verdict. Use on "review the plan", "check the plan", "is this plan ready", "validate the plan".
dev-smoke-testingWrite and run smoke tests — thin one-check-per-file scripts under scripts/test-<check-name>.sh|py that answer "is the build/deploy alive" in one command instead of clicking around by hand. Not a CI gate, not regression coverage. Trigger on "smoke test", "sanity check this deploy", "is the build heal
dev-tddTest-driven development — the red → green loop, done so the resulting tests are worth keeping. Use when building a feature or fixing a bug test-first, or on "red-green-refactor", "TDD", or integration tests that survive refactors.
dev-ui-designBuild a clickable UI prototype as one self-contained HTML file (inline CSS, no build step, no framework) at .spec/<feature-name>/prototype.html, opened straight in a browser. Trigger on "prototype this UI", "mock up this screen", "show me what this would look like", or wanting to click through a lay
dev-wayfinderMap a large, ambiguous project into a decision graph before planning — open questions resolved one ticket at a time in .spec/<feature-name>/MAP.md until a PLAN.md is finally possible. Trigger on "this is too big to plan", "I don't know where to start", "chart this out", "map this project", "what do
brainstormingBrainstorm any idea — feature, name, business, creative direction — as an interactive back-and-forth partner, not a one-shot list dump. Trigger on "let's brainstorm", "I need ideas for X", "what are some ways to...", "I'm stuck on...", "help me name/pitch this", or an open-ended idea.
git-commitWrite a conventional commit message — `type(scope): description`, the `!` breaking-change marker, body/footer rules, and the feat/fix/refactor/perf/style/test/docs/build/ops/chore type set. Trigger on "commit this", "write a commit message", "what type should this commit be", "conventional commits",
git-safeSafety rules for destructive/history-rewriting git ops (force push, reset --hard, clean -f, branch -D, checkout over uncommitted changes, rebase/amend of pushed work) plus this repo's staging and commit-hygiene rules. Trigger before any such command, or before any skill runs `git commit`. Writing th
github-actionsCreate/review GitHub Actions workflows — CI, release pipelines, reusable workflows, composite actions, matrix builds, caching, security hardening (least-privilege permissions, pinned SHAs). Trigger on "set up CI", "add a GitHub Actions workflow", or editing `.github/workflows/*.yml`.
intake-trackerBuild a self-contained HTML/CSS artifact for tracking structured questions, decisions, or checklist items with sections, status pills, and a save bar — the editorial-technical style used for stakeholder intake docs, audit checklists, and pre-launch question trackers. Trigger on "questions for the ve
mermaid-diagramGenerate Mermaid diagrams (flowchart, sequence, architecture, deployment, class, state, ER) from a description or source code, with high-contrast styling and syntax validation. Trigger on "create/generate a diagram", "document this architecture", "diagram this code/workflow", or a doc needing an emb
openapi-specWrite and validate OpenAPI 3.1 spec documents (no code generation) — $ref-based components, Spectral/Redocly lint rules. Trigger on "write an OpenAPI spec", "generate a Swagger doc", "validate my openapi.yaml", or editing a spec file. Shape or versioning not decided yet? Use `dev-api-design`.
prototypeBuild a throwaway prototype in the real codebase to answer one design question before production code — does this state model hold up, what should this screen look like. Trigger on "prototype this", "spike this", "quick prototype", "throwaway version", "let me try a few variants first". Not `dev-ui-
