Normalizes structured acceptance profiles from seed prompts into deterministic milestone/gate artifacts and traceable task metadata. This skill should be used when a goal prompt includes an ACCEPTANCEPROFILE block or when research stages need reusable objective milestone criteria.

English

Opinionated architecture sanity check: identify missing decisions, high-risk failure modes, and the simplest viable architecture with operability/security baked in.

English

Forces hard pushback on plans/specs by surfacing brittle assumptions, failure modes, and a safer build sequence, with an explicit output contract.

English

Evaluate the repo for security risks, correctness hazards, complexity hotspots, and documentation gaps, then produce a prioritized audit report and doc-only improvement plan. Use for repo reviews, security triage, onboarding/documentation passes, and "what should we clean up first" assessments where behavior must not change or violate guardrails.

English

Behavior-preserving code cleanup and compaction with strict verification gates. Only runs when the repo has a runnable build/test command set. Refactors safely, removes dead code, reduces duplication, and hardens scripts without introducing breakage or violating guardrails.

English

Enforces Millrace research-loop spec quality for GoalSpec and incident fixspec artifacts using verifiable requirements, ambiguity bans, and deterministic traceability. This skill should be used when Clarify, Critic, Designer, Taskmaster, Taskaudit, or Incident Resolve stages create, interrogate, or decompose specs under agents/specs/ and agents/ideas/specs/.

English

Writes a single, repo-accurate task card in agents/tasks.md (or queues one in agents/tasksbacklog.md) that is executable by the Builder/QA cycles without interpretation. Includes explicit metadata (Complexity/Assigned skills/Tags/Gates) so the pipeline is deterministic and auditable.

English

Includes Acceptance Profile Contract, Advisor Architecture Sanity Check, Advisor Plan Pushback, and other workflows.

What’s included

Acceptance Profile Contract

Normalizes structured acceptance profiles from seed prompts into deterministic milestone/gate artifacts and traceable task metadata. This skill should be used when a goal prompt includes an ACCEPTANCEPROFILE block or when research stages need reusable objective milestone criteria.

Advisor Architecture Sanity Check

Opinionated architecture sanity check: identify missing decisions, high-risk failure modes, and the simplest viable architecture with operability/security baked in.

Advisor Plan Pushback

Forces hard pushback on plans/specs by surfacing brittle assumptions, failure modes, and a safer build sequence, with an explicit output contract.

Codebase Audit Doc

Evaluate the repo for security risks, correctness hazards, complexity hotspots, and documentation gaps, then produce a prioritized audit report and doc-only improvement plan. Use for repo reviews, security triage, onboarding/documentation passes, and "what should we clean up first" assessments where behavior must not change or violate guardrails.

Codebase Safe Cleanup

Behavior-preserving code cleanup and compaction with strict verification gates. Only runs when the repo has a runnable build/test command set. Refactors safely, removes dead code, reduces duplication, and hardens scripts without introducing breakage or violating guardrails.

Spec Writing Research Core

Enforces Millrace research-loop spec quality for GoalSpec and incident fixspec artifacts using verifiable requirements, ambiguity bans, and deterministic traceability. This skill should be used when Clarify, Critic, Designer, Taskmaster, Taskaudit, or Incident Resolve stages create, interrogate, or decompose specs under agents/specs/ and agents/ideas/specs/.

Task Card Authoring Repo Exact

Writes a single, repo-accurate task card in agents/tasks.md (or queues one in agents/tasksbacklog.md) that is executable by the Builder/QA cycles without interpretation. Includes explicit metadata (Complexity/Assigned skills/Tags/Gates) so the pipeline is deterministic and auditable.

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 Acceptance Profile Contract 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.
  • License details are not provided in these listings. Check the author’s terms before using the skills.
