Operate the Noodle CLI — explain commands, find flags, create/edit .noodle.toml config. Also covers writing skills for Noodle: the orders pipeline, task-type schedule fields, stage composition, and the orders-next.json schema. Use when running noodle commands, editing .noodle.toml, writing or updating a skill's…
Infrastructure fix for broken builds, failed tests, stale state, and environment drift. Covers both user-project and Noodle-internal failures. Triggers when builds break, tests fail, state is stale, or environment drifts. Use on 'oops', 'fix the build', 'tests are failing', 'something broke', 'broken build'.
Systematic planning for medium-to-large tasks. Gathers context, identifies domain skills, writes phased plans to brain/plans/. Does NOT implement. Use for new features, multi-file refactors, or architectural changes — not small fixes. Triggers: "plan this", "break this down".
Post-cook quality gate. Reviews completed cook work for correctness, scope discipline, and principle compliance. Emits stagemessage events with findings. Triggers after execute stages, on '/quality', 'review this', 'check the work', 'assess quality'.
React performance optimization guidelines. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React components, hooks, effects, data fetching, or bundle optimization. Includes useEffect best practices — when NOT to use effects and better alternatives. Triggers: "when writing React code", "reviewing a React PR", "why is this…
Reflect on the conversation and update the brain. Use when wrapping up, after mistakes or corrections, or when significant codebase knowledge was gained. Triggers: "reflect", "remember this".
Mine past Claude Code and Codex conversations for uncaptured patterns, corrections, and knowledge. Cross-references with existing brain content. Triggers: "ruminate", "mine my history", "what have I been working on", "review past sessions", "extract learnings".
Orders scheduler. Reads .noodle/mise.json, writes .noodle/orders-next.json. Schedules work orders based on backlog state, plan phases, session history, and task type schedules. Triggers when orders are empty, after backlog changes, when the loop re-evaluates, or when /schedule is invoked.
Test-driven development workflow for Noodle. Use when testing changes, writing tests, fixing bugs, creating fixtures, or running the test suite. Triggers: "test", "write a test", "fix this bug", "add a fixture", "run tests", "TDD", or any task involving verification of code changes.
Add, complete, or view items in the brain/todos.md backlog. Use when the user says "todo", "add a todo", "mark done", "what's on the backlog", "show todos", "list tasks", "check off", or wants to manage their task list.
TypeScript type safety guidelines for writing maximally type-safe code. Apply these patterns when writing or reviewing any TypeScript: discriminated unions, type narrowing, type guards, exhaustiveness checks, avoiding as casts, preferring unknown over any, and making impossible states unrepresentable. Use this skill…
Remove AI writing patterns from prose. Use for docs, READMEs, blog posts, any non-code text that should sound human. Triggers: "unslop", "humanize", "make this sound human", "clean up this writing", "edit for voice", "de-AI this text".
Use for concurrent sessions, agent team isolation, or any work needing a separate branch. Critical for multi-agent workflows. Triggers: "worktree", "new worktree", "clean up worktrees", "need isolation", or when spawning agent teams.
