GitHub operations via gh CLI: issues, PRs, CI runs, code review, API queries. Use when: (1) checking PR status or CI, (2) creating/commenting on issues, (3) listing/filtering PRs or issues, (4) viewing run logs. NOT for: complex web UI interactions requiring manual browser flows (use browser tooling when available)…
Navigate a codebase through a local tree-sitter knowledge graph instead of grepping blindly. Use when asked how a medium-or-large codebase works, where a symbol is defined, what calls what, how two modules connect, or when planning a refactor that spans files. Requires the external graphify Python CLI; degrades to…
Host security hardening and risk-tolerance configuration for Orchestra deployments. Use when a user asks for security audits, firewall/SSH/update hardening, risk posture, exposure review, orchestra cron scheduling for periodic checks, or version status checks on a machine running orchestra (laptop, workstation, Pi…
Refines raw ideas into sharp, actionable concepts through structured divergent and convergent thinking. Use when an idea is still vague, when you need to stress-test assumptions before committing to a plan, or when you want to expand options before converging on one. Triggers on "ideate", "refine this idea", or…
Delivers changes incrementally. Use when implementing any feature or change that touches more than one file. Use when you're about to write a large amount of code at once, or when a task feels too big to land in one step.
Extracts what the user actually wants instead of what they think they should want. Achieves this through one-question-at-a-time interview until 95% confidence about the underlying intent. Use when an ask is underspecified ("build me X" without "for whom" or "why now"), when the user explicitly invokes ("interview me"…
Research a topic from the last 30 days. Also triggered by 'last30'. Sources: Reddit, X, YouTube, Hacker News, Polymarket, web. Become an expert and write copy-paste-ready prompts.
Instruments code so production behavior is visible and diagnosable. Use when adding logging, metrics, tracing, or alerting. Use when shipping any feature that runs in production and you need evidence it works. Use when production issues are reported but you can't tell what happened from the available data.
Optimizes application performance. Use when performance requirements exist, when you suspect performance regressions, or when Core Web Vitals or load times need improvement. Use when profiling reveals bottlenecks that need fixing.
Breaks work into ordered tasks. Use when you have a spec or clear requirements and need to break work into implementable tasks. Use when a task feels too large to start, when you need to estimate scope, or when parallel work is possible.
Automates browser interactions for web testing, form filling, screenshots, and data extraction. Use when the user needs to navigate websites, interact with web pages, fill forms, take screenshots, test web applications, or extract information from web pages.
Hardens code against vulnerabilities. Use when handling user input, authentication, data storage, or external integrations. Use when building any feature that accepts untrusted data, manages user sessions, or interacts with third-party services.
Prepares production launches. Use when preparing to deploy to production. Use when you need a pre-launch checklist, when setting up monitoring, when planning a staged rollout, or when you need a rollback strategy.
Use when you need to control Slack from Orchestra via the slack tool, including reacting to messages or pinning/unpinning items in Slack channels or DMs.
Grounds every implementation decision in official documentation. Use when you want authoritative, source-cited code free from outdated patterns. Use when building with any framework or library where correctness matters.
