English

Diagnose why an agent harness misbehaved by reading the local flight-recorder ledger (.vigiles/runs.jsonl) — which skills fired or got hijacked, which hooks blocked or wrongly allowed, which subagent tool-contract violations happened, and how a skill's trigger rate moved. Use when asked why a skill stopped firing, why a hook didn't block, why the wrong skill ran, or to debug/investigate what the harness actually did. NOT for writing new rules (use strengthen) or editing the spec (use edit-spec).

English

Edit a vigiles .spec.ts to change a compiled instruction file (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md) — add, modify, or remove a rule, section, command, or key file. Use whenever you need to change a CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md that carries a vigiles hash (edit the spec, never the artifact), including adding a new enforce()/check()/guidance() rule.

Validate that all rules have proper enforcement classification…

English

The purpose, UX flow, and modern-minimalist design bar for the vigiles.sh landing site (site/). Use whenever designing, editing, adding to, or reviewing any site/ component, hero, section, or marketing copy — read it BEFORE touching site/, and hold every change against it. Not for docs/ or the app itself.

English

Deep linter reference for authoring or debugging a vigiles enforce() rule — plugin tables, AST selectors, type-aware rules, auto-fix, and edge cases for ESLint, Ruff, Pylint, RuboCop, and Stylelint. Use when you need the exact rule name or config for a specific linter, not for running a linter.

English

Synthesize a recurring code-review rule into a custom lint rule — gated by an independent soundness test that abstains rather than ship a checker it can't prove…

English

Upgrade a vigiles spec's guidance() rules to enforce() — scan the guidance rules in a CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md spec and find existing linter rules (ESLint, Ruff, Clippy, Pylint, RuboCop, Stylelint) that back them. Use when asked to strengthen, harden, or make vigiles rules enforceable; NOT for general linting or fixing lint errors.

English

Audit whether a repo's docs actually ANSWER the questions a reader has — by spawning fresh, cheap (Haiku) agents that cold-read ONLY the docs and measuring how fast they reach the answer, whether they hit dead-ends, whether they fall back to source code, and whether they cite docs that contradict each other. Use after a doc reorg, when docs "feel scattered," or when the same confusion keeps recurring. Surfaces findability gaps (a corpus can be COMPLETE — every doc indexed — yet not FINDABLE) plus a prioritized fix list. Works on any repo's docs, not just this one.

English

Includes Adopt Spec, Audience Check, Audit Feedback Loop, and other workflows.

What’s included

Adopt Spec

Adopt a typed .spec.ts for an existing hand-written CLAUDE.md — start from the file you already have, non-destructively

Audience Check

Read the README (or any front-door doc) through the eyes of several distinct audience personas and report what each would think, miss, or bounce on

Audit Feedback Loop

Scan the current repo and score its feedback loop maturity for AI-assisted development

Debug My Harness

Diagnose why an agent harness misbehaved by reading the local flight-recorder ledger (.vigiles/runs.jsonl) — which skills fired or got hijacked, which hooks blocked or wrongly allowed, which subagent tool-contract violations happened, and how a skill's trigger rate moved. Use when asked why a skill stopped firing, why a hook didn't block, why the wrong skill ran, or to debug/investigate what the harness actually did. NOT for writing new rules (use strengthen) or editing the spec (use edit-spec).

Edit Spec

Edit a vigiles .spec.ts to change a compiled instruction file (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md) — add, modify, or remove a rule, section, command, or key file. Use whenever you need to change a CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md that carries a vigiles hash (edit the spec, never the artifact), including adding a new enforce()/check()/guidance() rule.

Enforce Rules Format

Validate that all rules have proper enforcement classification (enforce/check/guidance)

Landing Site

The purpose, UX flow, and modern-minimalist design bar for the vigiles.sh landing site (site/). Use whenever designing, editing, adding to, or reviewing any site/ component, hero, section, or marketing copy — read it BEFORE touching site/, and hold every change against it. Not for docs/ or the app itself.

Linter Docs

Deep linter reference for authoring or debugging a vigiles enforce() rule — plugin tables, AST selectors, type-aware rules, auto-fix, and edge cases for ESLint, Ruff, Pylint, RuboCop, and Stylelint. Use when you need the exact rule name or config for a specific linter, not for running a linter.

PR to Lint Rule

Synthesize a recurring code-review rule into a custom lint rule — gated by an independent soundness test that abstains rather than ship a checker it can't prove sound

Strengthen

Upgrade a vigiles spec's guidance() rules to enforce() — scan the guidance rules in a CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md spec and find existing linter rules (ESLint, Ruff, Clippy, Pylint, RuboCop, Stylelint) that back them. Use when asked to strengthen, harden, or make vigiles rules enforceable; NOT for general linting or fixing lint errors.

Verify Docs Findable

Audit whether a repo's docs actually ANSWER the questions a reader has — by spawning fresh, cheap (Haiku) agents that cold-read ONLY the docs and measuring how fast they reach the answer, whether they hit dead-ends, whether they fall back to source code, and whether they cite docs that contradict each other. Use after a doc reorg, when docs "feel scattered," or when the same confusion keeps recurring. Surfaces findability gaps (a corpus can be COMPLETE — every doc indexed — yet not FINDABLE) plus a prioritized fix list. Works on any repo's docs, not just this one.

Quick start

  1. Choose your skills. Select individual skills above, or choose the entire pack.
  2. Copy the install prompt. Use Copy install prompt above the list.
  3. Send it to your agent. Paste into your coding agent’s chat. Your agent reviews the source and guides the setup.

Try it with your agent

After installation, start with a request like:

Example request
Use the Adopt Spec skill to help with my task.
Ask me for the context you need before getting started.

Requirements & license

  • A coding agent that can access your project files and install skills.
  • Your agent checks each skill’s instructions, dependencies, and permissions during setup.
  • Reported license for the skills shown: MIT. The author’s terms apply.
