• audit

  Comprehensive codebase audit with verification and specialized reviewers. Generates actionable reports. Use when asked to "audit the codebase", "review code quality", "check for issues", "security review", or "performance audit". By default, run the complete audit: mechanical checks first, then spec

• commit

  Smart commit, push, and npm publish with auto-splitting across domains. Creates atomic commits. Use when asked to "commit", "push changes", "publish", "save my work", or after completing implementation work. Automatically groups changes into logical commits. author: howells order: 14 desc: Commit, p

• detail

  Internal plan writer. Produces risk-proportional implementation plans with agreed seams, coherent slices, work-kind evidence, exact paths, and durable lifecycle metadata. author: howells

• ideate

  Turn ideas into validated feature specs through collaborative dialogue with built-in expert review. Use when asked to "design a feature", "plan an approach", "think through implementation", or when starting new work that needs product and technical shaping before coding. author: howells order: 3 des

• implement

  Risk-proportional implementation workflow with coherent slice ownership, work-kind evidence, durable resumption, whole-implementation review, and one fresh closeout gate. Use when asked to implement, build, execute a plan, or continue from an Arc feature spec. author: howells order: 6 desc: Plan + e

• improve

  Turn findings into a vetted, prioritized backlog of executable implementation plans, and keep that backlog alive across sessions. Use when asked to "build an improvement backlog", "plan the audit findings", "what should we improve", "turn these findings into plans", "reconcile the plans", or "what's

• launch

  Go-live and shareability checklist covering the basics needed to make a project visitable, shareable, and ready for a first real audience. Use when asked to "launch", "go live", "make this shareable", "get this ready to show people", or prepare a project for a public URL. author: howells order: 11 d

• refactor

  Discover architectural friction and propose structural refactors with competing interface options. Focuses on deepening shallow modules, extracting grouped concerns into packages/modules, breaking up god files, reducing duplication, and improving testability. Use when asked to "improve the architect

• release

  Versioned releases of npm packages: semver bumps, changelogs, and multi-package releases for single-package repos and pnpm workspaces with changesets. Use when asked to "cut a release", "bump the version", "release the packages", "publish a new version", "run changesets", or "ship a versioned packag

• review

  Run expert review on a plan, spec, or implementation approach with parallel reviewer agents. Presents findings as Socratic questions. Use when asked to "review the plan", "check this approach", or before implementation to validate architectural decisions. Optional argument: reviewer name (e.g., `/ar

• testing

  Characterization testing and safety-net backfill for existing code. Use when legacy, under-tested, or risky code needs tests before a refactor, bug fix, or behavior change. Captures current behavior through public interfaces, identifies coverage gaps, and adds focused unit, integration, or E2E tests

• using-arc

  Use when starting any conversation - establishes Arc's skill routing, instruction priority, and bootstrap rules

• vision

  Create or maintain a project's root CONTEXT.md — goals, product boundary, non-goals, decision principles, and a domain language glossary. Use when starting a new project, clarifying product direction, aligning a codebase for future agent work, defining a north star, pinning down domain terminology,
