Agent skills
Skills you can use with AI coding agents, indexed from public GitHub repositories.
-
domain-review-before-implementation
BEFORE dispatching any implementation agent or starting to code - if you're about to write "Task(subagent_type=..., prompt=...)" for implementation, or about to implement a plan yourself, STOP and review first. The prompt you're about to send IS a brief - review it for design flaws before the agent implements garbage.

design-meeting
Use when you need multiple domain perspectives to review a spec, design, architecture, or investigate a complex bug — spawns a team of domain-focused agents that independently review, cross-examine each other's findings, and discuss via direct messages to converge on actionable recommendations

-
writing-personas
Use when creating, editing, or tuning agent persona/role prompts — especially when personas show overconfidence, attention narrowing, skipped tool use, or domain tunnel vision

-
consulting-agents
Use when you need information you don't have, expertise outside your comfort zone, or a single fresh perspective on code — dispatches individual agents to research, advise, or review. For multi-perspective reviews where agents discuss and converge, use design-meeting instead. NOT for implementation delegation (see subagent-driven-development).

Change Control Board
Use when a code reviewer has approved a change that touches security boundaries, shared interfaces, cross-tool protocols, config loading paths, subprocess argument sources, or multiple modules with different domain concerns. Also use when framing like "straightforward", "routine", or "familiar pattern" accompanies a change with non-obvious risk.

kubernetes-deployment-patterns
Kubernetes deployment strategies and workload patterns for production-grade applications. Use when deploying to Kubernetes, implementing rollout strategies, or designing cloud-native application architectures.

-
helm-chart-patterns
Helm chart development patterns for packaging and deploying Kubernetes applications. Use when creating reusable Helm charts, managing multi-environment deployments, or building application catalogs for Kubernetes.

-
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.

-
multi-llm-consult
Consult external LLMs (Gemini, OpenAI/Codex, Qwen) for second opinions, alternative plans, independent reviews, or delegated tasks. Use when a user asks for another model's perspective, wants to compare answers, or requests delegating a subtask to Gemini/Codex/Qwen.

-
release-prep
Use when preparing a production release or release candidate - provides a checklist-driven workflow for validation, versioning, build optimization, documentation updates, and deployment readiness.

-
doc-health-audit
Orchestrate a full documentation health audit across five dimensions: structural health, semantic accuracy, topic completeness, prose quality, and information architecture. Runs each phase in dependency order with phase gating. This skill should be used for pre-release audits, periodic health checks, or comprehensive documentation assessments.

-
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

-
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.

-
python-testing-patterns
Python testing patterns and best practices using pytest, mocking, and property-based testing. Use when writing unit tests, integration tests, or implementing test-driven development in Python projects.

-
codanna-codebase-intelligence
Use codanna MCP tools for semantic code search, call graphs, and impact analysis before grep/find.

-
dev-workflows
Use when running builds, executing tests, or improving developer experience workflows - provides structured guidance for build/test execution and DX improvement.
NickCrew/Claude-Cortex 13
-
condition-based-waiting
Use when tests have race conditions, timing dependencies, or inconsistent pass/fail behavior - replaces arbitrary timeouts with condition polling to wait for actual state changes, eliminating flaky tests from timing guesses

-
reference-documentation
Create exhaustive technical references, API documentation, and searchable reference materials. Use when building API docs, configuration references, or complete technical specifications.

-
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
-
tool-selection
Use when selecting between MCP tools based on task complexity and requirements - provides a structured selection workflow and decision rationale.

-
gitops-workflows
GitOps workflows and patterns using ArgoCD and Flux for declarative Kubernetes deployments. Use when implementing CI/CD for Kubernetes, managing multi-environment deployments, or adopting declarative infrastructure practices.

-
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.

-
owasp-top-10
OWASP Top 10 security vulnerabilities with detection and remediation patterns. Use when conducting security audits, implementing secure coding practices, or reviewing code for common security vulnerabilities.

-
system-design
Use when designing system architecture, APIs, components, or data models - provides a structured design workflow with validation and documentation outputs.
