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.
Hardens code against vulnerabilities, with hard rules against bypassing framework protections or silencing security findings. Use when handling user input, authentication, data storage, AI/LLM features, or external integrations. Triggers on auth work, file uploads, webhooks, or any feature accepting untrusted data.
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.
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 Use when you want authoritative, source-cited code free from outdated patterns.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.
Creates specs before coding, with hard rules against silently filled assumptions and untestable success criteria. Use when starting a new project, feature, or significant change and no specification exists yet. Triggers on "build me", "create a", "add a feature", or any requirement vague enough to need interpretation.
Drives development with tests via Red-Green-Refactor and the Prove-It pattern, with hard rules against weakening assertions or faking green suites. Use when implementing any logic, fixing any bug, or changing any behavior. Triggers on "add a feature", "fix this bug", "write tests", or any task where done must be…
Discovers and invokes agent skills. Use when starting a session or when you need to discover which skill applies to the current task. This is the meta-skill that governs how all other skills are discovered and invoked.
