cavemanUltra-compressed replies that drop filler, articles, and pleasantries but keep the technical substance.
discover-vault-directoryFind a folder in the user's Obsidian vault from a glob relative to the vault root, plus optional marker files the folder must hold, and return its absolute path. Use when another skill needs a vault folder, such as `*projects` or the folder that holds `occasions.md`.
do-nextCold-start from a handoff or plan, run its next step, and update the document for the next run. Use when the user says "do next" or hands you a handoff to continue.
explainLayered explanation of any target -- code, reasoning, decisions, concepts. Explains in what/how/why layers, checks understanding, goes deeper on request. Model-invocable primitive that domain skills compose on.
grillGrill the user relentlessly about a plan or design. Use when the user wants to stress-test a plan before building, or says "grill me" or "stress-test this plan".
handoffCompact the current conversation into a handoff document for another agent to pick up.
look-upFetch and ingest resources the agent needs before executing a task. Accepts one or many links of any kind — local files, web pages, tracker tickets, wiki/doc pages, MCP resources. Model-invocable — other skills delegate resource gathering here instead of managing it themselves.
show-meShow the current topic or a diff as the smallest visual that makes the point: pseudocode, a tree, Mermaid, a shaped diff, or one HTML file. Use when the user says "show me", "draw it", or "diagram this", or when another skill must show a change.
tabular-analysisCompare concepts in a markdown table with exactly the pipe-split column headers you give, one row per concept. Use when the user says "tabular analysis" or "table this", or gives a topic plus pipe-split column names.
update-handoffUpdate an existing handoff/plan document in place with the current state of progress, so a fresh agent can cold-start from it. Takes one argument: the @-tagged file path to update. Use when the user says "update handoff", "update the plan", or context is about to blow out.
write-reportWrite an HTML report: the answer first, then visuals, then rows whose ticks build a prompt. A re-run adds a run to the same file. Use when a skill or the user needs an HTML report.
write-to-fileWrite a plan, spike, handoff, or other working file to `.ai/`, or to the folder that the user's instructions name for its doctype. Use whenever a skill or workflow makes a document to `@`-reference later.
