Preserve discovered bugs as durable BUGS.md entries with reproduction steps, expected behavior, hypothesis, status, verification, and resolution.

English

Implement exactly one planned slice after scope is frozen, then run relevant verification, summarize changed files, and stop.

English

Detect context drift, rehydration loops, hypothesis sprawl, scope creep, active-mode loss, and durable-state gaps. Recommend the smallest corrective action.

English

Debug failures systematically by freezing feature work, reproducing the issue, testing hypotheses, applying the smallest fix, and rerunning verification.

English

Clarify ambiguous AI-engineering project ideas before specs or code by challenging vague terms, identifying assumptions, and updating durable context.

English

Compress routine agent responses to reduce token usage while preserving commands, file paths, assumptions, risks, verification details, and next actions.

English

Create a compact SPEC.md for fast solo AI-engineering projects when the goal is clear enough to define behavior, constraints, and verification without full PRD ceremony.

English

Limit an agent's blast radius before implementation by defining allowed files, read-only areas, forbidden operations, commands, and stop conditions.

English

Run a lightweight GO or NO-GO gate before using small dashboards, ML workflows, agent workflows, scheduled jobs, or decision-impacting outputs.

English

Add focused deterministic tests, fixtures, golden examples, or smoke checks for workflows that can run while still being wrong.

English

Convert a mini-spec into 3-7 vertical implementation slices when a small project needs observable, independently verified progress.

English

Record proof that a task works by capturing commands, pass/fail results, changed files, artifacts, risks, and the next safest task.

English

Check consistency across CONTEXT.md, SPEC.md, PLAN.md, TODO.md, and scope-freeze notes.

Uncertain

Includes Bug Capture, Context Check, Diagnose Loop, and other workflows.

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 Bug Capture 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.
