Canonical engineering record of a fixed bug — root cause, mechanism, fix, validation, and how it slipped through. Use AFTER a debug session lands a validated fix, BEFORE closing the ticket — produces an engineer-audience artifact. Refuses to draft without a reliable repro, known root cause, identified fix, and…
Post-task micro-retrospective — 6 questions, 5 minutes. Use AFTER completing a task or workflow to capture lessons learned, including a skill-effectiveness signal that feeds SKILL-EFFECTIVENESS.md. Maps to H7 (Sharpen the Saw — invest in capability, not just output).
Generate PRD from user intent — define what, why, who, scope, and success criteria. Use BEFORE starting any feature. Step 1 of 7-step workflow. Maps to H2 (Begin with End in Mind).
Investigate before specifying — research existing solutions, prior art, and domain constraints. Use BEFORE /requirements when the problem space is unclear. Step 0 of 7-step workflow. Maps to H5 (Seek First to Understand).
Audit AI-generated code for security, quality, and completeness. Use AFTER implementation, BEFORE commit. Step 5 of 7-step workflow. Maps to H4 (Think Win-Win).
Scaffold a project-root SPEC.md digest following the spec-digest-pattern archetype. User-invoked. Phase 1 minimum viable — generator only; refuses to overwrite an existing SPEC.md. Use AFTER deciding the repo fits the project-orientation hub deployment mode (not feature-spec mode). Maps to H8 (Find Your Voice — pick…
Outsider-perspective end-to-end review of a plan, PR, or proposed change — questions intent first (is there a simpler way?), then traces the actual code path (not just the diff) to verify the change does what it claims. Use BEFORE committing to an implementation, or BEFORE merging a PR — pairs with /review-ai…
Focused security review — secrets, injection, auth, dependencies, OWASP Top 10. Use as a dedicated security lens separate from general code review. Maps to H1 (Be Proactive — prevent security incidents, don't react to them).
Onboarding meta-skill — explains the 7-step workflow, all 24 skills, and the decision tree for "which skill next?". Read this first when starting with 8-habit-ai-dev. Maps to H5 (Seek First to Understand) + H8 (Empower next person).
Assess a feature, component, or PR against Covey's 4 dimensions: Body, Mind, Heart, Spirit. Use to evaluate balance across discipline, vision, passion, and conscience. Maps to H8 (Find Your Voice — Whole Person Model).
Guided walkthrough of the 7-step workflow. Prompts at each step to invoke or skip. Use when starting a new feature or when unsure which step comes next.
