EnglishWrite the agent-generated narration of the current session - the reviewable story of what changed, including what never reaches a PR (user corrections, abandoned attempts, tool failures). Triggers on "narrate this session", "summarize what changed", "write the session story", "narrate what we did", "session narration". Output is .ax/narrations/ .json for the ax studio narration view. Do NOT fire on "summarize this file" or generic recap questions answered inline - this skill writes a structured artifact.
EnglishStar the ax repo, file an issue / bug report, or fork-and-open-a-PR against github.com/Necmttn/ax on the user's behalf, by shelling out to the gh CLI. Triggers when the user says "star ax", "star the repo", "I want to support ax", "report this as an ax bug", "file an ax issue", "open an issue on ax", "this looks like an ax bug", "I want to contribute to ax", "fix this in ax", "open a PR against ax", or after an unhandled ax error when the user wants to report it. Acts only on an explicit user request - proactive star prompting is handled deterministically by the CLI (ax star), not this skill. Confirms before any account-mutating action (never stars without an explicit yes); falls back to a plain GitHub URL when gh is missing or unauthenticated. Do NOT auto-trigger on unrelated GitHub work or other repos.
EnglishModel-routing orchestration for any expensive frontier model (Fable, Opus, GPT-5.x) - the main model keeps judgment and Q&A review, mechanical subagent dispatches carry an explicit cheaper model, and ax measures whether the routing actually worked. Use when orchestrating codebase-heavy or token-heavy work with subagents, when dispatching Agent tasks without a model, when the user says "route to cheaper models", "efficient dispatch", "optimize model spend", or asks where their token spend goes. Pairs with the route-dispatch hook (deterministic backstop) and ax dispatches (evidence). Do NOT fire on single-shot questions or tiny tasks with no dispatching.
EnglishDraft or revise ax release announcements and website changelog pages. Triggers when the user says "write release notes", "draft release announcement", "prepare changelog", "release page", "version page", "what changed in vX.Y.Z", "generate announcement for vX.Y.Z", or asks for a release narrative. Uses Release Please range evidence, git changed files/commits, and ax sessions/recall to explain how the release got there. Do NOT trigger for ordinary commit messages or unrelated docs.
EnglishDeep retro of retros - investigation pass that surfaces improvements across older retros and the current ax setup. External AI agent drives the reasoning with high thinking enabled. Triggers when user says "deep retro", "investigate ax", "what should I fix in my setup", "retro of retros", or invokes /ax:retro-meta. Use after ax:retro if proposals are sparse or you want broader exploration.

What’s included
Ax Add Ingest Stage
Use when adding a new ingest stage or a new SurrealDB table to the ax graph. Encodes the exact registration gotchas that fail CI if missed.
Ax Narrate
Write the agent-generated narration of the current session - the reviewable story of what changed, including what never reaches a PR (user corrections, abandoned attempts, tool failures). Triggers on "narrate this session", "summarize what changed", "write the session story", "narrate what we did", "session narration". Output is .ax/narrations/ .json for the ax studio narration view. Do NOT fire on "summarize this file" or generic recap questions answered inline - this skill writes a structured artifact.
Ax Repo
Star the ax repo, file an issue / bug report, or fork-and-open-a-PR against github.com/Necmttn/ax on the user's behalf, by shelling out to the gh CLI. Triggers when the user says "star ax", "star the repo", "I want to support ax", "report this as an ax bug", "file an ax issue", "open an issue on ax", "this looks like an ax bug", "I want to contribute to ax", "fix this in ax", "open a PR against ax", or after an unhandled ax error when the user wants to report it. Acts only on an explicit user request - proactive star prompting is handled deterministically by the CLI (ax star), not this skill. Confirms before any account-mutating action (never stars without an explicit yes); falls back to a plain GitHub URL when gh is missing or unauthenticated. Do NOT auto-trigger on unrelated GitHub work or other repos.
Efficient Dispatch
Model-routing orchestration for any expensive frontier model (Fable, Opus, GPT-5.x) - the main model keeps judgment and Q&A review, mechanical subagent dispatches carry an explicit cheaper model, and ax measures whether the routing actually worked. Use when orchestrating codebase-heavy or token-heavy work with subagents, when dispatching Agent tasks without a model, when the user says "route to cheaper models", "efficient dispatch", "optimize model spend", or asks where their token spend goes. Pairs with the route-dispatch hook (deterministic backstop) and ax dispatches (evidence). Do NOT fire on single-shot questions or tiny tasks with no dispatching.
Release Announcement
Draft or revise ax release announcements and website changelog pages. Triggers when the user says "write release notes", "draft release announcement", "prepare changelog", "release page", "version page", "what changed in vX.Y.Z", "generate announcement for vX.Y.Z", or asks for a release narrative. Uses Release Please range evidence, git changed files/commits, and ax sessions/recall to explain how the release got there. Do NOT trigger for ordinary commit messages or unrelated docs.
Retro Meta
Deep retro of retros - investigation pass that surfaces improvements across older retros and the current ax setup. External AI agent drives the reasoning with high thinking enabled. Triggers when user says "deep retro", "investigate ax", "what should I fix in my setup", "retro of retros", or invokes /ax:retro-meta. Use after ax:retro if proposals are sparse or you want broader exploration.
