What it installs

Skills (21)

  • backlog-review

    Triage open issues for staleness, duplicates, missing context, and mis-labels; post review comments without mutating issue state.

  • checkout

    Create a worktree for an existing branch — fetches, sets up environment, installs deps, and reports the path.

  • cleanup

    Remove worktrees and local branches whose pull request has been merged or closed.

  • comment-discipline

    Scan added comments in the working diff and flag WHAT-not-WHY comments, paraphrase-of-next-line noise, and other recurring comment anti-patterns.

  • commit

    Run project-defined preflight checks and commit work. Does not push or create PRs.

  • debug

    Debug a reported issue like a senior engineer — gather evidence, check environment, scan git history, and diagnose root causes before jumping to code fixes.

  • document

    Create or update feature and issue documentation through an interactive questionnaire.

  • error-handling-preflight

    Catch the small set of error-handling pattern violations that account for the majority of production incidents and review-cycle blockers.

  • improve-issues

    Enrich open GitHub issues with descriptions, labels, types, code references, and cross-links.

  • learn

    Review project memory and promote durable lessons into CLAUDE.md / settings (with confirmation); file a GitHub issue when a lesson is a defect in one of this repo's own skills.

  • new-issue

    Draft and open a structured GitHub issue from a rough idea, with clarifying Q&A, labels, and type.

  • onboard

    Guided one-shot install — discover installed plugins (or help install new ones), pick install scope, calibrate risk tolerance into a concrete allowlist + hooks, scaffold or merge CLAUDE.md, and sanity-check the result.

  • pr-description

    Generate a structured PR description from the current branch's diff and commit history.

  • pr-fix

    Fetch PR review comments, classify by severity and confidence, and fix the selected subset.

  • pr-review

    Reviewer-side PR workflow — checks out the branch in a worktree, runs focus-area reviews plus a senior-engineering pass, optionally cross-checks against an autonomous reviewer, and posts inline findings only on explicit approval. Read-only — never edits, commits, or pushes.

  • project-status

    Dashboard of outstanding work — open PRs with CI/review status, critical unstarted issues, and stale branches. Read-only.

  • scope-statement-check

    Extract a scope contract from an issue or spec, enforce it at commit time, and use it to classify out-of-scope review feedback.

  • ship-it

    Finalize work — commit via /commit, push, and create PRs on feature branches.

  • skills-review

    Audit all Claude skills for overlap, inconsistencies, gaps, and alignment with CLAUDE.md.

  • start-work

    Research a work item, draft an implementation plan, and begin work after approval.

  • whats-next

    Analyzes open issues, docs, and git history to recommend your next task. Interactive coaching flow.

Subagents (2)

  • engineering-lead

    Senior engineering lead / delivery manager. Use when prioritization or sequencing genuinely needs a senior lens rather than implementation — what to do next, what to cut, how to sequence a backlog, whether an issue is ready to pick up, where a project actually stands. Dispatched by backlog-review, p

  • principal-engineer

    Principal-level, stack-agnostic software engineer. Use for complex or high-stakes changes and stubborn bugs that warrant senior scrutiny — root-cause discipline, "right fix vs. band-aid", design pressure on a diff, and change-risk reasoning independent of language or framework. Dispatched by review
