-
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.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
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
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
vibe-security
This skill helps Claude write secure web applications. Use when working on any web application to ensure security best practices are followed.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
webapp-testing
Toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using Playwright. Use when verifying frontend functionality, debugging UI behavior, capturing browser screenshots, and viewing browser logs.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
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.

-
assumption-buster
Flip, remove, or exaggerate assumptions to unlock new solution angles.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
writing-plans
Structured plan-writing skill adapted from obra/superpowers. Produces actionable plans that map directly to cortex workflows and tasks.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
defense-in-depth
Use when invalid data causes failures deep in execution, requiring validation at multiple system layers - validates at every layer data passes through to make bugs structurally impossible
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
doc-maintenance
Systematic documentation audit and maintenance. This skill should be used when documentation may be stale, missing, or misorganized — after feature work, refactors, dependency upgrades, or as a periodic health check. It prescribes folder structure for docs/ and manual/, dispatches haiku subagents for codebase/doc scanning, and routes doc creation to specialized agents (reference-builder, technical-writer, learning-guide) with docs-architect as quality gate.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
evaluator-optimizer
Iterative refinement workflow for polishing code, documentation, or designs through systematic evaluation and improvement cycles. Use when refining drafts into production-grade quality.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
event-driven-architecture
Event-driven architecture patterns with event sourcing, CQRS, and message-driven communication. Use when designing distributed systems, microservices communication, or systems requiring eventual consistency and scalability.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
implementation-workflow
Use when turning PRDs or feature specs into actionable implementation workflows - provides structured task decomposition, dependency mapping, and validation gates.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
incident-response
Incident triage, cascade prevention, and postmortem methodology. Use when handling production incidents, designing resilience patterns, or conducting chaos engineering exercises.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
microservices-patterns
Comprehensive microservices architecture patterns covering service decomposition, communication, data management, and resilience strategies. Use when designing distributed systems, breaking down monoliths, or implementing service-to-service communication.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
prompt-engineering
Optimize prompts for LLMs and AI systems with structured techniques, evaluation patterns, and synthetic test data generation. Use when building AI features, improving agent performance, or crafting system prompts.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
repo-cleanup
Use when a repository needs cleanup of dead code, build artifacts, unused dependencies, outdated docs, or stale tests - provides safe cleanup workflows, validation steps, and reporting templates for code, deps, docs, tests, and sprint archives.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
sharing-skills
Use when you've developed a broadly useful skill and want to contribute it upstream via pull request - guides process of branching, committing, pushing, and creating PR to contribute skills back to upstream repository
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
template-skill
A template for creating new skills. Use when initializing a new skill to ensure proper structure and metadata.
