Agent skill
gremlin
Bootstrap Gremlin work from the joelclaw side. Use when a task mentions gremlin from outside the repo and you need to locate the repo, load its shipped repo-local skill, or understand which guidance belongs to gremlin versus joelclaw.

Gremlin Bootstrap
This is not the canonical Gremlin repo skill.
Gremlin-specific skills should ship with the Gremlin repo unless they are specifically about how Gremlin plugs into the joelclaw system.
Canonical repo-local skill
Load this first for normal Gremlin work:
/Users/joel/Code/badass-courses/gremlin/skills/gremlin/SKILL.md
Then load narrower repo-local skills as needed:
/Users/joel/Code/badass-courses/gremlin/skills/gremlin-package-release/SKILL.md/Users/joel/Code/badass-courses/gremlin/skills/gremlin-project-setup/SKILL.md/Users/joel/Code/badass-courses/gremlin/skills/gremlin-tanstack-start/SKILL.md
Use this joelclaw-side skill only when
- you are outside the Gremlin repo and need to jump into it
- you need to distinguish repo-local Gremlin guidance from joelclaw-specific automation/integration guidance
- you are updating joelclaw prompts, routing, or memory surfaces that refer to Gremlin
Rules
- Prefer the repo-local Gremlin skill for Gremlin truth.
- Do not let joelclaw-owned prompts drift into owning Gremlin repo policy.
- If a Gremlin skill is generally useful to Gremlin contributors, move it into the Gremlin repo instead of expanding this file.
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
skill-review
Audit and maintain the joelclaw skill inventory. Use when checking skill health, fixing broken symlinks, finding stale skills, or running the skill garden. Triggers: 'skill audit', 'check skills', 'stale skills', 'skill health', 'skill garden', 'broken skill', 'skill review', 'fix skills', 'garden skills', or any task involving skill inventory maintenance.
cli-design
Design and build agent-first CLIs with HATEOAS JSON responses, context-protecting output, and self-documenting command trees. Use when creating new CLI tools, adding commands to existing CLIs (joelclaw, slog), or reviewing CLI design for agent-friendliness. Triggers on 'build a CLI', 'add a command', 'CLI design', 'agent-friendly output', or any task involving command-line tool creation.
daily-summary
Generate a daily system activity summary across all joelclaw subsystems. Triggers on 'daily summary', 'what happened today', 'system report', 'today's tally', 'activity summary', 'what did we do', 'daily report'.
inngest-durable-functions
Create and configure Inngest durable functions. Covers triggers (events, cron, invoke), step execution and memoization, idempotency, cancellation, error handling, retries, logging, and observability.
recall
Fan-out search across all memory sources when context is unclear or vaguely referenced. Triggers on: 'from earlier', 'remember when', 'what we discussed', 'that thing with', 'the conversation about', 'did we ever', 'what happened with', 'you mentioned', 'we talked about', 'earlier today', 'last session', 'the other day', or any vague reference to past context that needs resolution before the agent can act.
inngest-local
Set up self-hosted Inngest on macOS as a durable background task manager for AI agents. Interactive Q&A to match intent — from Docker one-liner to full k8s deployment with persistent state. Use when: 'set up inngest', 'background tasks', 'durable workflows', 'self-host inngest', 'event-driven functions', 'cron jobs', or any request for a local workflow engine.
