research-methodology
Structured research using sophisticated query design, source vetting, and synthesis techniques. Use when conducting competitive analysis, market scans, historical investigations, or trend research.

-
root-cause-tracing
Use when errors occur deep in execution and you need to trace back to find the original trigger - systematically traces bugs backward through call stack, adding instrumentation when needed, to identify source of invalid data or incorrect behavior
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
session-management
Use when loading, saving, or reflecting on session context - provides structured workflows for session lifecycle management and reflection outputs.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
skill-creator
Guide for creating effective skills. Use when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
system-design
Use when designing system architecture, APIs, components, or data models - provides a structured design workflow with validation and documentation outputs.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
task-orchestration
Use when coordinating complex tasks with orchestration, delegation, or parallel workstreams - provides structured workflows for orchestrate:brainstorm, orchestrate:spawn, and orchestrate:task.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
test-generation
Use when generating tests for new or existing code to improve coverage - provides a structured workflow for analyzing code, creating tests, and validating coverage goals.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
testing-anti-patterns
Use when writing or changing tests, adding mocks, or tempted to add test-only methods to production code - prevents testing mock behavior, production pollution with test-only methods, and mocking without understanding dependencies
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
testing-skills-with-subagents
Use when creating or editing skills, before deployment, to verify they work under pressure and resist rationalization - applies RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to process documentation by running baseline without skill, writing to address failures, iterating to close loopholes
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
tool-selection
Use when selecting between MCP tools based on task complexity and requirements - provides a structured selection workflow and decision rationale.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
tutorial-design
Design and write hands-on tutorials with progressive disclosure, exercises, and troubleshooting sections. Use when creating learning content, workshops, or step-by-step guides.

-
using-git-worktrees
Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification

vibe-security
This skill helps Claude write secure web applications. Use when working on any web application to ensure security best practices are followed.

-
claude-consult
Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.

skill-creator
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Codex's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
skill-installer
Install Codex skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills from a curated list or a GitHub repo path. Use when a user asks to list installable skills, install a curated skill, or install a skill from another repo (including private repos).

-
accessibility-audit
Fast, high-signal accessibility triage for pages, components, or PRs targeting WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.

-
agent-loops
Complete operational workflow for implementer agents (Codex, Gemini, etc.) making code changes and writing tests. Drives all work through atomic commits — each loop operates on the smallest complete, reviewable change. Defines the Code Change Loop, Test Writing Loop, Lint Gate, and Issue Filing process with circuit breakers, severity levels, and escalation rules. Requires `cortex git commit` for all commits. Includes bundled provider-aware review scripts that keep same-model shell-outs as the last resort, plus a fresh-context Codex fallback for code review and test audit. Use this skill when starting any implementation task.

-
backlog-md
Task tracking system for agents via Backlog.md CLI. Use when creating deferred issues during implementation, filing audit findings, working assigned tasks, or managing project work. Optimized for agent workflows: structured issue filing, priority/labeling system, and task completion tracking.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
canvas-design
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. Use when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
code-explanation
Use when explaining code, concepts, or system behavior to a specific audience level - provides a structured explanation workflow with depth control and validation steps.

-
codex-code-review
Automate code review remediation loops with the codex CLI. Requests reviews from codex, classifies findings by severity (P0-P4), fixes critical issues (P0/P1) through iterative cycles, defers quality improvements to backlog, and escalates after 3 review cycles. Use when working with code that needs structured remediation: 'codex review' in a request triggers this workflow.
