Skills

Agent Skills are a lightweight, open format for extending AI agent capabilities. Skills index: skills/README.md

Skill	What it does
Researcher	Code search & exploration — local LSP + external (GitHub, npm/PyPI)
Research	Multi-phase research with sessions, checkpoints, state persistence
Engineer	Understand, write, analyze, audit code — AST + LSP + dependency graph
Plan	Evidence-based planning: Understand > Research > Plan > Implement
RFC Generator	Formal technical decisions with alternatives, trade-offs, and recommendations
PR Reviewer	PR & local code review across 7 domains with LSP flow tracing
Roast	Brutal code critique with file:line citations and severity levels
Prompt Optimizer	Turn weak prompts into enforceable agent protocols
Doc Writer	6-phase pipeline producing 16+ validated docs
