Evidence-driven engineering workflows, scoped agents, and task-sized verification.
Plugin zstack from marketplace zstack-local in fullerzz/agent-skills. Commands read from the repo's manifest — yesterday.
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.
architectSketch types, signatures, and module structure before code, then stay in the loop while implementation fills in. Use for /architect, 'architect this', 'design this', or non-trivial work where jumping to code would lock in the wrong shape.
arenaSpawn N parallel candidates at the same task, pick a base, graft the strongest parts of the losers into it. Use for /arena, 'arena this', 'throw it in the arena', or when one attempt at a non-trivial artifact would lock in the wrong shape.
automate-meDraft or update a personal mode skill from stated conventions and explicitly scoped history.
benchmark-checklistVet a perf measurement (limiter, tuning, limits, errors, repeatability, relevance, and whether the work happened) before you report or act on it. Use when you run a benchmark or report a speedup or regression you measured.
blast-radiusFind what a change could break somewhere else before it ships, beyond the diff, and prove the one fact it's safe because of by running real code instead of writing it up. Use for 'blast radius of X', 'what could this break', or reviewing a small diff you don't trust.
broRestate the last message in plain human language, with no jargon.
correctFind repeated agent mistakes in this repository and prevent recurrence through architecture, types, lint or CI, then behavioral tests, with docs last. Use for correct.
create-formal-verification-skillGenerate a reusable project-local skill for model checking or proving code-linked properties. Use explicitly for /create-formal-verification-skill, model-checking a race, or proving an invariant; UI and service journey checks belong to create-verification-skill.
create-verification-skillGenerate a project-local verification skill that drives your app the way a user does — any language, framework, or platform. Use for /create-verification-skill, \"make a control skill for this repo\", or when a project has no scripted way to prove UI/CLI/service behavior.
figure-it-outDesign an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions via show-me-your-work. Use for /figure-it-out, 'figure it out', a large migrati
herdr-workflowCompatibility entrypoint for selecting Herdr execution and loading the installed herdr-zstack hc-workflow companion.
howRead-only explanations of how a named code subsystem works: entry points, callers, runtime flow, package ownership, and layering. Use for code walkthroughs and architecture questions. Use why for historical design rationale; do not select for implementation or debugging requests.
in-your-own-wordsRestate in your own words what you think the user's goals are and what problem they're trying to solve. Use for in-your-own-words.
interrogateAdversarial review of a requested diff or design; only findings that a rerun reproduction proves survive.
ketchupCatch up on this chat since your last message in plain language, with current PR, CI, and agent status where available and enough context to decide what awaits you. Use for ketchup or a catch-up on this chat; use recall for context across sessions.
maintain-formal-verification-skillRefresh a project's formal checks after covered code changes, distinguish verification drift from product bugs, and retain per-check coverage checkpoints. Use explicitly for /maintain-formal-verification-skill or auditing whether a model still describes the code.
maintain-verification-skillPeriodic pass that keeps a project's verification skill and feature map honest: parallel source readers per feature, one live session driving every feature, a scoped local set of proven corrections. Use for /maintain-verification-skill or \"audit the verify skill\".
no-commentsReview unnecessary comments and workarounds with a scoped comment-sicko report.
principle-attack-the-premiseApply when two or more fixes sharing a premise fail the same gate. Write down and directly test that premise before another fix assumes it.
principle-boundary-disciplineApply when wiring validation, error handling, or framework adapters. Concentrate guards at system boundaries (CLI, config, network, external APIs); trust internal types and keep business logic in pure functions.
principle-build-the-leverApply to any non-trivial work, not just bulk work: edits, migrations, analyses, checks. Build the tool that does it or proves it (codemod, script, generator, or a skill your subagents follow) instead of working by hand. The tool is the artifact a reviewer can rerun.
principle-encode-lessons-in-structureApply when you catch yourself writing the same instruction a second time, or notice a recurring correction. Encode the rule as a lint, metadata flag, runtime check, or script instead of more text.
principle-exhaust-the-design-spaceApply when facing a novel UI interaction or architectural decision with no precedent in the codebase. Build 2-3 competing prototypes and compare side by side before committing.
principle-experience-firstApply when product, UX, or feature-scope tradeoffs come up. Choose user delight over implementation convenience; ship fewer polished features over more rough ones.
principle-explain-the-numberApply before you measure, and before you trust, report, or act on a number you measured: a speedup, a regression, a throughput, a latency, or an eval result. Find what limits it, and rule out that it measured something other than the work you think.
principle-fix-root-causesApply when debugging. Trace the first wrong decision or missing handling of a legitimate state, and fix it there; do not hide invalid states at the symptom.
principle-foundational-thinkingApply before writing logic: choosing core types and data structures, sequencing scaffold-vs-feature work, asking what concurrent actors share. Get the data structures right so downstream code becomes obvious.
principle-guard-the-context-windowApply when context is filling up: large outputs, long files, repeated reads, fan-out planning. Route bulk to subagents; keep summaries in the main thread, not raw payloads.
principle-laziness-protocolApply when refactoring, evaluating diff size, or tempted to add abstractions, layers, or signal threading. Bias toward deletion and the smallest change that solves the problem.
principle-make-operations-idempotentApply when designing commands, lifecycle steps, or processing loops that run amid crashes, restarts, and retries. Converge to the same end state regardless of partial prior runs.
principle-migrate-callers-then-delete-legacy-apisApply when introducing a new internal API while old callers still exist. Migrate callers and delete the old API in the same wave instead of preserving compatibility layers.
principle-minimize-reader-loadApply when reviewing or shaping code that's hard to trace. Count layers between question and answer, and hidden state in the reader's head; collapse one-caller wrappers and shrink mutable scope.
principle-model-the-domainApply when writing stateful logic, or when code branches a lot or repeats a shape assumption across files. Encode the domain in a structure instead of scattered conditionals.
principle-never-block-on-the-humanApply when tempted to ask 'should I do X?' on reversible work. Proceed, present the result, let the human course-correct after the fact; stay within authorized scope and reserve clarification for real missing decisions.
principle-outcome-oriented-executionApply during planned rewrites and migrations with explicit phase boundaries. Converge on the target architecture; don't preserve smooth intermediate states with throwaway compatibility code.
principle-prove-it-worksApply after completing a task, before declaring done. Verify against the real artifact (run the feature, read the actual value, inspect the diff), not a proxy, self-report, or 'it compiles.'
principle-redesign-from-first-principlesApply when integrating a new requirement into an existing design. Redesign as if the requirement had been a foundational assumption from day one, instead of bolting it on.
principle-separate-before-serializing-shared-stateApply when concurrent actors might write to the same file, branch, key, or state object. Eliminate the sharing first; serialize structurally only when one shared writer is a real invariant.
principle-sequence-verifiable-unitsApply to multi-step work (sweeps, migrations, runs of similar edits) and to how you stack commits and PRs. Break work into small units that each end in a verifiable state, check each before the next, and order delivery so the sequence proves itself to a reviewer.
principle-subtract-before-you-addApply when sequencing an addition, refactor, or rewrite. Remove dead code, redundant validators, and stub references first, then build on the simpler base.
principle-test-behavior-not-implementationApply when you write, change, or keep a test. Assert observable behavior so the test catches a broken contract and survives internal refactors.
principle-type-system-disciplineApply when designing types, reviewing a function signature, or writing code in any statically-typed language. Make illegal states unrepresentable, brand semantic primitives, parse external data at boundaries, refuse to lie to the compiler, exhaust variants, derive from authoritative schemas.
python-best-practicesPython best practices for writing or reviewing Python source, scripts, and packages with uv, Ruff, mypy, type hints, and Pydantic boundary validation.
recallReconstruct your recent working context from your own chat history, live state, and the shared record (user reports, prior fixes, incidents), then hand back a tight current-state brief. Use for 'recall my work on X', 'catch me up', 'what have I been working on', 'where did I leave off', before start
reflectReview the active session for durable lessons and propose or apply approved skill edits.
setup-zstackCheck zstack installation in Codex, Claude Code, or Hermes and configure requested native model settings.
sharpenRewrite a prompt with an expert approach, primary sources, specific methods and tools, and an independent check. Use for sharpen; does not execute the task.
show-me-your-workKeep a reviewable decision trail for long-running or unattended work: a local TSV log with one row per decision (what, why, evidence, result). Commit only when authorized. Use for /show-me-your-work, autonomous or multi-phase runs, or work a human reviews after stepping away.
sketchRender Mermaid diagrams as inline text with Sketch for chat responses and terminals. Use when the user asks for Sketch or diagrams displayed without an image viewer.
statechartCheck a TLA+ model of a system that moves between states, such as a product flow, a protocol, or a service, and draw it as a Mermaid statechart with the shortest path to each state that breaks a rule. Use explicitly for /statechart; render with Pele.
swarmFan out N parallel workers, drain them, and return one report. Use for /swarm, 'swarm this', or parallel coverage, races, gauntlets, and exploration.
tddUse only when the user explicitly asks for TDD, a failing test, or a regression test, OR when the bug has an obvious cheap local test target. Skip when the test path is unclear, expensive, integration-heavy, or not requested.
teachExplain a body of work plainly so a person actually understands it. Runs the `how` and `why` skills and weaves what they find into one clear explanation. Use for 'teach me this', 'help me really understand X', 'explain this change or subsystem to me'.
technical-writingLayered technical-writing standard: Diátaxis structure, Google developer style sentences, STE instruction rules, Global English syntax. Use for /technical-writing or when writing or reviewing docs, RFCs, readmes, PR descriptions, or commit messages.
typescript-best-practicesTypeScript best practices. Use when reading or editing any .ts or .tsx file.
unslopCut AI tells from requested writing while preserving meaning and intended tone.
whyRead-only research into historical code design decisions: why a subsystem works this way or why a particular approach was chosen. Uses relevant Git history and available supporting sources, separating documented facts from inference. Use how for runtime behavior; do not select for implementation or
z-modeEvidence-driven engineering with scoped agents, portable principles, and task-sized verification. Use for z-mode; Herdr execution is selected automatically in a verified live hc terminal.
