Use this skill when delegating a subtask to a sub-agent, spawning a parallel worker, or handing off work across sessions. Write a self-contained task description so the receiving agent needs no prior context.

Agent Task Handoff
When delegating work to a sub-agent or across sessions, make the handoff self-contained.
Handoff package must include:
- Goal: What the sub-agent must produce (one clear sentence).
- Context: The minimum background the agent needs — no more, no less.
- Constraints: Explicit rules (don't modify X, use library Y, output format Z).
- Inputs: File paths, API endpoints, or data the agent needs to start.
- Success criteria: How to verify the result is correct.
For parallel agents:
- Clearly state which parts of the codebase/data each agent owns.
- Define how outputs will be merged back.
Anti-pattern: Sending a vague "continue where we left off" with no context — sub-agents start from zero.

async-communication-etiquette
Use this skill when writing messages in async channels (Slack, GitHub issues, email threads) where the reader may not have context and cannot ask follow-up questions immediately.

idempotent-script-design
Use this skill when writing scripts, cron jobs, data pipelines, or any automated process that may be run multiple times. Design every operation to be safely re-runnable without side effects.

secrets-management
Use this skill when handling API keys, passwords, tokens, private keys, or any sensitive credential. Never hardcode secrets in source code — apply this whenever the word "key", "token", "password", or "secret" appears in the task.

input-validation-and-sanitization
Use this skill when implementing any endpoint, form handler, CLI tool, or function that accepts external input. Validate and sanitize all untrusted data before processing — never assume input is safe.

graceful-error-recovery
Use this skill when a tool call, command, or API request fails. Diagnose the root cause systematically before retrying or changing approach. Do not retry the same failing call without first understanding why it failed.
