Commit the current work — runs the quality, consistency and passport gates, branches off main if needed, stages specific files, and writes a commit whose subject states what is now true. Pushes and opens a pull request only with --pr or when the user asks; never merges — a merge happens only when the user explicitly…
Compile a Beamer LaTeX slide deck with XeLaTeX (3 passes + bibtex). Use when user says "compile", "build the slides", "rebuild the PDF", "run latex", "render the tex", or asks why a .tex file isn't producing a PDF. Operates on Slides/.tex.
Distill the current conversation into a structured note (decisions made, open questions, file pointers with line numbers, next 1–3 actions) and save to qualityreports/sessionlogs/ before auto-compression. Differs from /checkpoint (explicit stop-point snapshot) and from auto-compaction (which truncates rather than…
Show current context status and session health. Use to check how much context has been used, whether auto-compact is approaching, and what state will be preserved.
Create a new Beamer lecture .tex from source papers and materials, with notation consistency checks and the project's preamble wired in. Use when user says "create a lecture on X", "new lecture from these papers", "start a deck on topic Y", "scaffold a new Beamer file", "build me a lecture from these PDFs". Scaffolds…
Research-brief + claim-record discipline for delegated or AI-assisted research work. Use when starting any substantive research task or long autonomous run (write the brief first), and when reporting results that will support a claim in a paper or decision (produce the claim record). Keeps faster execution from being…
End-to-end R data analysis pipeline — exploration → cleaning → regression → publication-ready tables and figures. Use when user says "analyze this dataset", "run a regression on X", "explore this CSV", "full analysis workflow", "get me summary stats and a regression", or points at a .csv/.rds/.dta and asks for…
Draft a funder-compliant Data Management Plan (NSF DMP, NIH DMS Policy 2023, ERC, Horizon Europe) by composing the confidential-data and environment-capture primitives. Sections cover data description, formats/metadata, storage/backup, access/sharing, preservation/archiving, and roles. Use when user says "data…
Comprehensive adversarial audit of a theory, proof, math/econ paper, codebase, or set of claims — decompose into components, fan out independent skeptics that must return CONCRETE defects, adjudicate every finding with a separate judge, fix all confirmed defects, then re-verify. Use when correctness must be…
Render Quarto .qmd slides to HTML and sync to docs/ for GitHub Pages. Use when user says "deploy", "publish the slides", "ship to pages", "push the lecture live", "render and publish", or after Quarto edits that need to go public. NOT for local Quarto render only — use quarto render directly for that.
Adversarial 5-7 question challenge to a deck's pedagogical choices — ordering, prerequisites, cognitive load, motivation. Use when user says "devil's advocate", "poke holes in this deck", "push back on my slides", "stress-test the design", "what would a skeptical student ask?". Read-only; surfaces questions to force…
Root-cause a failing or wrong empirical result with a disciplined reproduce → minimise → hypothesise → instrument → fix loop, instead of guessing-and-poking. Use when the user says "why is my regression wrong", "this number changed", "my script errors out", "the result won't reproduce", "debug this", "this estimate…
Compare two implementations of the same thing — a port (R↔Python↔Stata), a reimplementation, a replication package, a refactor, or a new version against the old — so that agreement means something. Freeze inputs first, inventory every expected output, test the comparator itself, compare every channel (not just the…
Pre-screen analysis outputs (tables, figures, logs) built on restricted or confidential data for statistical-disclosure-limitation problems before any release. Scans for small cell counts, complementary-suppression gaps, dominance (p-percent / (n,k)), re-identifiable exact counts, PII leakage, and unrounded sensitive…
Extract TikZ diagrams from Beamer .tex source, compile each to a standalone PDF, and convert to SVG with 0-based indexing. Use when user says "extract the tikz", "regenerate the diagrams", "rebuild the SVGs", "sync tikz to quarto", or after editing TikZ blocks in a Beamer deck that also has a Quarto mirror.
Scaffold a research grant proposal (NSF, NIH, ERC, or foundation) by composing existing primitives — pulls identification strategy from an /interview-me spec, delegates the data-management plan to /data-management-plan and the facilities statement to /capture-environment, and emits a funder-requirements checklist. Use…
Read-only audit of .tex, .qmd, or .md text for AI-voice tells — boilerplate transitions ("Moreover", "Furthermore", "It is important to note that"), AI-cliché lexicon ("delve", "navigate the complexities", "tapestry", "robust framework"), em-dash overuse, symmetric paragraph shapes, tricolon abuse, hedging stacking…
Interactive interview that formalizes a fuzzy research idea into a structured spec (RQ, hypotheses, identification, data needs, empirical strategy). Use when user says "interview me", "help me think through this idea", "I have a half-baked idea", "formalize this into a project", "walk me through framing a study".…
Extract reusable knowledge from the current session into a persistent skill. Use when you discover something non-obvious, create a workaround, or develop a multi-step workflow that future sessions would benefit from.
Structured literature search + synthesis with citation extraction, thematic clustering, and gap identification. Use when user says "find papers on X", "do a lit review", "what's the literature on...", "summarize what we know about...", "where's the gap in this field", "review recent work on Y". Produces a written…
Scaffold a new TikZ diagram from the snippet gallery with prevention rules pre-applied (explicit node dimensions, coordinate map, directional edge labels). Compiles standalone, invokes tikz-reviewer with citations from tikz-measurement.md, and loops on revisions until APPROVED.
Scaffold a new skill that follows this repo's conventions — interviews for purpose, trigger phrases, and tool needs, then writes .claude/skills/ /SKILL.md from the skill template with frontmatter and body that pass the integrity gates on first try. Use when user says "write a skill", "scaffold a skill", "create a new…
Run an external frontier-model referee (Claude Code -> a different vendor's frontier model via the Oracle CLI) on a paper, proof, estimator, or replication package -- and adjudicate what comes back. Use when the user says "send this to oracle", "get an external review", "run a referee round", "deep-check this proof"…
Holistic pedagogical review of a lecture deck (.qmd or .tex). Checks narrative arc, prerequisite assumptions, worked examples, notation clarity, and deck-level pacing. Use when user says "pedagogy review", "does this teach well?", "is the flow right?", "will students follow?", "review the narrative", or before…
