brief-intakeTurn raw mess — a Slack thread, meeting transcript, Jira ticket, half-written Notion page, email chain, or paragraph of free-form context — into a structured brief that the downstream skill (adr-generator, design-doc, runbook-generator, exec-summary, slide-outliner) can consume without further intak
context-graphMap the decisions behind a codebase from its ADRs, RFCs and design records — each record's status and date, what supersedes or amends what, which records cite which, the files and folders each decision governs, and with git the commits that implemented it and the commits that changed each decision's
council-reviewConvene a council of distinct senior-engineer personas (Architect, Security, Operator/SRE, Pragmatist, User-Advocate, plus optional bench seats) to deliberate a decision, design, or code change — each takes an independent stance, the genuine disagreements are surfaced as named cruxes, and a Chair is
doc-critiqueReview an existing document — ADR, design doc, runbook, exec summary, tech-comparison matrix, deck outline, decision log — and produce a structured critique against the same quality bars the skilldrop generators enforce. Categorizes findings by severity (blocker / major / minor / nit), points to the
hypothesis-comparisonCompare rival explanations for an observation with analysis of competing hypotheses (ACH) — list the hypotheses and the evidence, build a consistency matrix (consistent / inconsistent / neutral), rank hypotheses by how little evidence contradicts them rather than how much supports them, name the dia
manuscript-checkCheck a paper, thesis chapter or report before it goes to a journal, a supervisor, examiners or a publisher — a script reads the manuscript and finds every citation with no reference (including near misses: the right author with another year, a misspelt name), references never cited, the same work l
output-hygieneReview agent-written text before it ships and strip the machine artifacts it carries — invisible Unicode, non-breaking spaces, homoglyphs, harness-added provenance trailers, trailing chat closers — then flag the prose tells a script cannot catch, each quoted with a rewrite. Use when the user wants t
research-planTurn a vague research question into a research plan — the decision the research serves, the precise question and sub-questions, what finding would change the decision, a method per sub-question (desk research, interviews, data pull, experiment), source types with inclusion and exclusion criteria, re
researchTake a question that turns on why something happened to an answer the evidence can carry: a plan tied to the decision it serves, a synthesis of the sources with every claim cited, and rival explanations ranked by how little evidence contradicts them, with a gate that sends the work back for the obse
ship-a-draftTake raw mess to a stakeholder-ready artifact by wrapping any skilldrop generator in the two passes either side of it — structured intake before, critique and machine-residue scrub after. Use when the user has notes, a transcript, or a ticket and wants a finished document rather than a first draft.
source-synthesisAnswer a question from a set of sources the user supplied — papers, reports, articles, interview notes, emails — saying only what the material supports, labelling anything that comes from elsewhere where it appears, counting a source that repeats another once, and giving a labelled estimate when the
