Relentlessly interview users to stress-test plans and designs until reaching shared understanding.

Identify architectural improvements in a codebase to enhance testability and modularity.

Create structured agent skills with progressive disclosure and bundled resources.

Grilling session that challenges your plan against the existing domain model, sharpens terminology, and updates documentation (CONTEXT.md, ADRs) inline as decisions crystallise. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan against their project's language and documented decisions.

Extract and formalize a DDD-style glossary from conversations, flagging ambiguities and proposing canonical terms.

Transform conversation context into a PRD and submit it as a GitHub issue.

Create a detailed refactor plan with incremental commits and file it as a GitHub issue.

Implement test-driven development (TDD) using the red-green-refactor loop for building features and fixing bugs.

Triage bugs by exploring codebases and creating GitHub issues with TDD fix plans.

Request a higher-level perspective on code to understand its broader context.

Generate multiple radically different interface designs for a module using parallel sub-agents. Use when user wants to design an API, explore interface options, compare module shapes, or mentions "design it twice".

Triage GitHub issues using a label-based state machine for efficient workflow management.

Edit and improve articles by restructuring sections, improving clarity, and tightening prose. Use when user wants to edit, revise, or improve an article draft.

Create structured exercise directories with sections, problems, solutions, and explainers that pass linting.

Conduct interactive QA sessions to report bugs and file GitHub issues conversationally.

Manage and organize notes in your Obsidian vault using wikilinks and index notes.

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by dropping filler, articles, and pleasantries while keeping full technical accuracy. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman.

Set up Claude Code hooks to block dangerous git commands (push, reset --hard, clean, branch -D, etc.) before they execute. Use when user wants to prevent destructive git operations, add git safety hooks, or block git push/reset in Claude Code.

Set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged for automatic code formatting and type checking.

Migrate test files from `as` type assertions to type-safe alternatives using @total-typescript/shoehorn.

Transform plans, specs, or PRDs into actionable GitHub issues with vertical slices.
