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.

-
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.

-
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.

-
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.

-
data-validation-first
Use this skill before any data analysis, transformation, or modeling. Always inspect and validate the data before drawing conclusions or writing transformations.

-
debug-systematically
Use this skill when diagnosing a bug, unexpected behavior, test failure, or any situation where code does not behave as expected. Follow a structured debugging process instead of randomly changing code.

-
do-not-retry-without-diagnosis
Common mistake — retrying the same failing command or API call without understanding why it failed. Always diagnose the root cause before retrying anything.

-
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.

-
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.

-
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.

-
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.

-
plan-before-multi-step-execution
Use this skill before executing a sequence of 3 or more steps, especially when steps are irreversible or depend on each other. Write out the plan and verify it before starting execution.
