chrislacey89Skills in this pack

Invoked helper skill for higher-risk API contract decisions, usually called from /research or /write-a-prd. Use when the unresolved question is API shape, compatibility, auth, webhook design, or paradigm choice. Not a default top-level workflow step or a substitute for ordinary implementation work.

English

Side-route skill for explicit backtracking when an upstream artifact becomes untrustworthy. Use when research, PRD, or slice decomposition has been invalidated by new information and you need to clean up stale artifacts before re-running an earlier pipeline step. Not for forward progress, fresh shaping, or routine bug fixes.

English

Optional meta-skill for improving chrislacey89/skills from real-world friction or breakdowns discovered while using the pipeline in another repo. Use when the main lesson is about the pipeline itself, not the downstream project. Grounds proposals in established software-engineering guidance from /library. Produces a GitHub issue in chrislacey89/skills and only moves to implementation after review.

English

Infrastructure skill for scaffolding pipeline enforcement into a project. Sets up Claude Code hooks (TDD classification gate, git guardrails, optional quality gate), pre-commit hooks (detects existing tools, defaults to Lefthook + Biome + pnpm if none found). Run once per project, auto-invoked by /execute if hooks are missing.

English

Infrastructure skill for setting up Ralph loop scripts for Claude-driven AFK execution. Use when a repo wants a HITL-to-AFK runner around /execute with bounded iterations, GitHub-native durable state, and explicit feedback loops. Not a normal feature-delivery stage; it prepares the repo for safer autonomous execution.

English

Audit TypeScript and React code against expert-level best practices from 9 Total TypeScript library references. Use when the user wants to review, audit, check, or improve TypeScript code quality — including requests like "audit this file", "review my types", "check my TypeScript", "what's wrong with this code", "improve my TS", "type review", or any request to evaluate TypeScript code against modern patterns. Also use when the user mentions type safety, generics review, or React TypeScript patterns. Covers type safety, generics, narrowing, branded types, discriminated unions, React TypeScript patterns, type transformations, testing patterns, and mocking techniques.

English

Side-route skill for an interactive, commit-by-commit comprehension walkthrough of a finished branch before merge. Use when the person about to merge didn't author the diff — or hasn't internalized it — and needs to understand each commit's intent, riskiest line, deliberate oddities, and what's absent by design, with per-commit sign-off. Not a defect finder (that's /pre-merge), not a behavioral check (that's /verify), not an acceptance-criteria checklist (that's /execute Step 5). Optional and never auto-invoked.

English

Includes API Design Review, Correct Course, Improve Pipeline, and other workflows.

What’s included

API Design Review

Invoked helper skill for higher-risk API contract decisions, usually called from /research or /write-a-prd. Use when the unresolved question is API shape, compatibility, auth, webhook design, or paradigm choice. Not a default top-level workflow step or a substitute for ordinary implementation work.

Correct Course

Side-route skill for explicit backtracking when an upstream artifact becomes untrustworthy. Use when research, PRD, or slice decomposition has been invalidated by new information and you need to clean up stale artifacts before re-running an earlier pipeline step. Not for forward progress, fresh shaping, or routine bug fixes.

Improve Pipeline

Optional meta-skill for improving chrislacey89/skills from real-world friction or breakdowns discovered while using the pipeline in another repo. Use when the main lesson is about the pipeline itself, not the downstream project. Grounds proposals in established software-engineering guidance from /library. Produces a GitHub issue in chrislacey89/skills and only moves to implementation after review.

Init Pipeline

Infrastructure skill for scaffolding pipeline enforcement into a project. Sets up Claude Code hooks (TDD classification gate, git guardrails, optional quality gate), pre-commit hooks (detects existing tools, defaults to Lefthook + Biome + pnpm if none found). Run once per project, auto-invoked by /execute if hooks are missing.

Setup Ralph Loop

Infrastructure skill for setting up Ralph loop scripts for Claude-driven AFK execution. Use when a repo wants a HITL-to-AFK runner around /execute with bounded iterations, GitHub-native durable state, and explicit feedback loops. Not a normal feature-delivery stage; it prepares the repo for safer autonomous execution.

TypeScript Audit

Audit TypeScript and React code against expert-level best practices from 9 Total TypeScript library references. Use when the user wants to review, audit, check, or improve TypeScript code quality — including requests like "audit this file", "review my types", "check my TypeScript", "what's wrong with this code", "improve my TS", "type review", or any request to evaluate TypeScript code against modern patterns.

Covers type safety, generics, narrowing, branded types, discriminated unions, React TypeScript patterns, type transformations, testing patterns, and mocking techniques.

Walk Commits

Side-route skill for an interactive, commit-by-commit comprehension walkthrough of a finished branch before merge. Use when the person about to merge didn't author the diff — or hasn't internalized it — and needs to understand each commit's intent, riskiest line, deliberate oddities, and what's absent by design, with per-commit sign-off.
