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.

-
codebase-navigation
Use this skill when exploring an unfamiliar codebase, tracing code paths, or answering questions about how the system works. Read before writing, and build a mental model of the architecture before making changes.

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.

-
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.

-
clarify-ambiguous-requests
Use this skill when the user's request is ambiguous, under-specified, or could be interpreted in multiple ways. If proceeding with a wrong assumption would waste significant work, always ask exactly one focused clarifying question before doing anything.

-
agent-task-handoff
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.

git-workflow
Use this skill when working with git — making commits, creating branches, resolving merge conflicts, opening pull requests, or reviewing diffs. Apply whenever the user asks about version control operations.

-
avoid-scope-creep
Common mistake — doing unrequested work (refactoring, adding extra features, cleaning up style) when the user asked for a specific, targeted change. Only change what was explicitly asked.

-
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.

-
structured-research-workflow
Use this skill when conducting research on a topic from scratch — literature review, competitive analysis, technical due diligence, or fact-finding. Apply before starting any open-ended research task.

-
structured-progress-update
Use this skill when summarizing progress on an ongoing project or multi-step task. Give a clear, scannable status report whenever asked for an update or at the end of a work session.

-
structured-logging-and-observability
Use this skill when building production services, pipelines, or automation that needs to be debugged, monitored, or audited. Add structured logs, metrics, and health checks before shipping any service.

-
sql-best-practices
Use this skill when writing SQL queries — selects, joins, aggregations, window functions, or schema modifications. Apply whenever SQL is needed to ensure correctness, safety, and performance.

-
source-evaluation
Use this skill when presenting information from external sources, citing research, or answering factual questions. Assess source credibility and recency before relying on it.

-
secure-code-review
Use this skill when reviewing or writing code that handles user input, authentication, file I/O, network requests, or database queries. Always check for common security vulnerabilities before considering the code complete.

-
task-decomposition
Use this skill when a user presents a large, vague goal. Break it into concrete, ordered sub-tasks before starting any work. Apply whenever the request is larger than a single focused action.

-
verify-before-irreversible-action
Use this skill before taking any action that is hard to reverse — deleting files, overwriting data, sending messages, pushing to remote, modifying production systems. Always pause, state what you are about to do, and confirm before executing.

-
uncertainty-acknowledgment
Use this skill when you are not sure about a fact, have outdated knowledge, or the question is contested. Explicitly communicate the level of confidence instead of asserting uncertain things as fact.

-
tool-selection-strategy
Use this skill when deciding which tools to call in an agentic workflow. Always choose the minimal, most direct tool for each step and avoid redundant or speculative tool calls.

-
test-before-ship
Use this skill when implementing a new feature or fixing a bug. Write or update tests before marking the task done. Never consider code complete without verifying it works through automated tests.
