ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Agent
Searches the vault for a specific research query and returns one best-match note with excerpt. Targeted mode only in Phase 1. Use when the parent recipe needs to pull vault context on a focused question; dispatch multiple instances in parallel for breadth.
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Agent
Searches the web for a specific research query and returns a compressed finding with cohort-diverse citations and source-type annotations. Use when the parent recipe needs current-web information — especially fast-moving landscape/tooling topics where model priors can't be trusted.
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Command
Feature/story breakdown — consume a ready-for-decompose scope doc and produce a task graph in the issue tracker. Re-entrant; tracker-as-canonical with vault breadcrumb.
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Command
Early-stage design exploration — settle the shape of a feature/recipe/system before scoping its implementation. Re-entrant; agent-judged writes.
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Command
Force load of Dossier vault profile (and inbox check) before processing the rest of the user's request.
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Command
Feature implementation in a repo — ticket → plan gate → develop-to-plan → draft-PR review loop (human gate) → squash-clean finalize. Thin recipe over six overridable primitives; dossier-mcp the only hard dependency.
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Command
Conversation-shaped research loop — vault grounding + web research + agent-judged capture (no pre-write sign-off).
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Command
Project-level scoping — refine a single living vault note for a project, with mandatory unknowns tracking. Re-entrant; agent-judged writes.

Use in /implement after committing, inside the draft PR, to review the committed diff. Dispatches a dependency-free review subagent fed the diff + review criteria and returns structured findings (severity / location / problem / fix). The recipe drives the address→re-review loop with a human exit gate; the…

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use during /research, /scope (or any recipe) to write or update a vault note via dossier-mcp. Agent drafts slug + frontmatter + body + citations, writes the note, and surfaces what was captured so the user can redirect afterward. Supports create (new note) and update (refine existing note) modes.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use in /implement at the draft→ready boundary, before publish-pr's squash, to delete this branch's transient plan/spec artifacts so they don't ship in the PR. Deletes .claude/plans/ .md (flattened name). Distinct from repo-setup's prune of previously-merged branches' artifacts.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use during /research (or any recipe) to send 1-3 research queries in parallel — vault or web targets — and aggregate compressed findings. Routes each query to vault-researcher or web-researcher based on target. Hosts the cross-verify consent gate so any inline-research caller (/research, /design, /decompose) inherits…
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use at the start of /research and other workflow recipes to establish vault grounding. Loads vault bootstrap (profile.md), checks inbox, and pre-warms project context if a topic anchor is implied. Repo/git detection lands with /plan and /implement.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use in /implement after committing, to push the feature branch and open a draft PR, returning the PR ref. Thin and GitHub-specific (gh) behind a host-neutral contract. Transitional — removed under the post-v1 flow simplification. Project-overridable for provisioning-heavy open steps.
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use BEFORE writing implementation code in /implement, after repo-setup and once a ticket exists. Produces an approval-blocked plan at .claude/plans/ .md (story ref, change summary, affected files, approach, test cases, open questions) and blocks coding until it exists and the user has approved it. Skip only for…
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use in /implement at the draft→ready boundary to squash the branch's review-iteration commits into one (non-interactive soft-reset + recommit + force-with-lease) and mark the draft PR ready. Takes the commit message as input (sourced from the plan-file before cleanup). GitHub-specific (gh) behind a host-neutral…
ethanaubuchon/dossier-tradecraft
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use at the start of /implement's repo path to land in a clean working state — fetch, fast-forward main, prune merged branches/worktrees/plan-files, then create the feature branch + worktree off fresh main. Repo-only; project-overridable for deep provisioning.
