Skill Claude CodeCodex
Break parsed markdown into a tree of progressively-disclosed chunks for downstream extraction. Use this skill whenever a phase needs to work on per-chunk units, when the user mentions chunking or splitting documents, or when transitioning from parsing to extraction — make sure to chunk before extraction unless the…

Apply deterministic quality checks to the code John produces — catch the 80% of issues (leaked API keys, hardcoded prod URLs, broken imports, missing dependencies, infinite spinners, dead error states, debug logs in production) without invoking the LLM at all; only fall back to LLM-driven repair for the residual edge…

Generate John's process scorecard, auditor manifests, and shareable run report from a Codex project using John's provider-neutral scripts. Use when the user asks for a John report, run report, scorecard, provenance manifest, self-evaluation manifest, or evidence for template evolution while working in Codex.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Activate a Hamster-built or otherwise applied John template for Codex in the current project. Use when a merged template plugin already exists, when the user asks to use a John template in Codex, or after template apply has produced a Claude --plugin-dir path and Codex needs the same overrides, additions, guidance…

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Execute John's high-volume vertical phases with native Codex subagents over the durable .john/runs and event contracts. Use for per-chunk extraction, coverage, grounding, per-entry generation, large uniform fan-out, retries, reconciliation, cancellation, or whenever shared John guidance mentions Claude dynamic…

How to survive long-running John sessions where the work spans hours or days. Pin the endurance goal, offload large tool results, use sub-agent firewalls, compact at phase boundaries, and accept graceful degradation to fresh sessions.
kitchen-engineer42/joharnessburg
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Set, show, or clear the long-running John goal from Codex. Use when the user wants endurance mode, a persistent project finish line, or the Claude command equivalent of /john:endurance.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
The append-only event log + deterministic reducer pattern John uses to coordinate parallel subagent work on shared state. Each subagent emits its own event files; one reducer folds all events into canonical state. Beats file locks, scales to thousands of work units.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Scaffold a John workspace in the current project from Codex. Use when the user wants to start using John, initialize a John project, import input materials into .john/input, or run the Claude command equivalent of /john:init.
kitchen-engineer42/joharnessburg
Skill Claude CodeCodex
When a produced app accepts an input and runs an expensive generation job the end-user waits on — upload → queued → staged generation → progress → download — build the job runtime instead of letting the job live and die inside one HTTP request. Use this skill whenever a produced app has generation taking more than a…

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Sweep chunks for entries that match the project's schema and emit them via the event log. Use whenever the chunk phase has produced chunks and the extract phase is next, when the user says "extract X from the corpus," or when [[ralph-loop]] advances into the extraction phase. Subagent fan-out is the norm; each…

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Turn the raw event-log entries from extraction into clean, cross-linked, deduplicated knowledge ready for packaging. Use after the extract phase has produced events and canonical state, when the user mentions rewriting or polishing, or when [[ralph-loop]] advances into the rewrite phase. Header+body progressive…

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Emit cleaned, cross-linked, deduplicated knowledge from the rewrite phase as provider-discoverable skills in the project's Claude Code and Codex skill trees. Use this skill whenever the knowledge phases wrap, when the user says "package the skills" / "ship the knowledge" / "finalize the knowledge phases" / "we're…

Turn raw input materials (PDFs, DOCX, mixed docs) into structured markdown for the rest of John's pipeline. Use whenever the project's .john/input/ has unparsed files, when a phase needs to read source documents, or when the user mentions parsing/OCR/ingestion. Teaches a probe-first capability ladder — agent-native…

How to decide what phases this project actually needs, when you're sketching PLAN.md or revising it mid-flight. Use this skill whenever you need to design, evaluate, or revise phases for a John project — phases are John's horizontal axis, suggestions not enforcements, and getting them right is what makes ralph-loop…

How to write the initial PLAN.md at the start of a John project. Use this skill whenever the user has just run /john:init, when there is no PLAN.md yet, or when the user says "let's start a new project" / "design the plan" / "what should we build." PLAN.md is the durable contract that spans knowledge engineering…
kitchen-engineer42/joharnessburg
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Keep PLAN.md current as work proceeds — subdivide a phase that turned out bigger, merge phases whose work is coupled, drop a phase whose intent no longer applies, insert one you didn't anticipate, mark TBD phases as concrete once decisions land, manage the append-only Log + Open Decisions + Subagent matrix. Use this…

The iterative plan-driven advancement pattern John runs on. Read PLAN.md, advance one phase, update PLAN.md, repeat. Adapted from snarktank/ralph for John's longer-horizon, multi-half, subagent-fanout scope.
kitchen-engineer42/joharnessburg
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Decide what shape the knowledge takes in this project — facts, rules, stories, wiki entries, screenplays, custom. Use whenever the user is starting a project, the app-type definition section of PLAN.md is unsettled, you're about to enter the extract phase without a clear target schema, or anyone says "what format…

Evolve the skills that do the work — capture lessons at phase boundaries into .john/lessons/, draft project-local skill overrides when guidance fights reality, and train workerLLM skills with a scored, gated edit loop when the domain has a scorer. Use this skill at every phase boundary ("what did this phase teach…

When and how to spawn subagents for the vertical axis of John's work matrix. Subagents handle per-entry parallel work (extract this chunk, author this skill, generate this slide) so your main context stays clean and the work scales.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Top-level orientation for John (joharnessburg). Read this skill at the start of every John session and re-read it after every context compaction. Use it whenever the user mentions John, joharnessburg, ralph-loop, knowledge phases, app phases (or their legacy nicknames 2skills/2app), knowledge engineering, or asks you…

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Author a Claude Code dynamic workflow to run a John fan-out phase at scale. Use this skill whenever a phase has dozens-to-thousands of uniform per-entry work units (extract every chunk, apply every rule to every chapter, render every slide) and the session is configured for workflows. It is John's vertical-axis…

When a produced app needs to call workerLLMs at runtime (e.g., a doc-verification check script asking a low-cost model for a judgment call, or a slide renderer summarizing a chunk), wire it to John's local LLM client server. Triggers on "call workerLLM", "runtime LLM call", "call DeepSeek", "call SiliconFlow"…
