Skill Claude CodeCodex
Gate functionality behind feature flags for safe rollout, using the project's flagging system, with a plan to remove the flag later.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Accept file uploads safely — validate type and size, store off the app server, generate safe names, scan for malware, and serve back without XSS or path traversal.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Diagnose and stabilize a flaky or intermittently failing test by finding the real source of nondeterminism.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Find the exact commit that introduced a regression using git bisect with a reliable reproduction test.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Shut a service down cleanly — catch termination signals, stop taking new work, drain in-flight requests and jobs, close resources, and exit within the deadline.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Design and secure a GraphQL API — model a clear schema, avoid N+1 with batching, enforce auth per field, and bound query depth/complexity against abuse.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Extract hardcoded user-facing strings and wire up internationalization and localization using the project's i18n library.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Make write operations safe to retry — accept idempotency keys, dedupe on a stored result, handle concurrent retries, and keep effects exactly-once.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Drive a production incident to resolution — stabilize first, communicate, find root cause, then write a blameless postmortem with follow-ups.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Run the project's linters and formatters, then fix the reported issues without changing behavior.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Add structured, leveled logging and basic observability to code using the project's logging library and conventions.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Write a safe, reversible database schema or data migration following the project's migration tool and conventions.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Manage a monorepo — workspaces, shared config, affected-only builds and tests, and clean dependency boundaries between packages.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Send transactional notifications reliably — pick channels, template safely, send async with retries, respect user preferences and opt-out, and avoid duplicates.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Add metrics, tracing, and actionable alerts so a service's health and behavior are visible in production, using the project's stack.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Profile a slow function, endpoint, or query, find the real bottleneck with measurements, and apply a verified performance fix.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Page through large result sets safely — choose cursor vs. offset, keep ordering stable, cap page size, and return consistent next/prev metadata.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Generate a pull request title and description from the current branch diff.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Set up git pre-commit hooks that lint, format, scan for secrets, and run fast checks before each commit, matching the project's tooling.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Protect a service with rate limiting and throttling — pick the algorithm and scope, set limits, return correct headers, and fail safely.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Generate or update a clear, accurate project README that helps a newcomer understand, install, and use the project.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Refactor code for clarity and simplicity without changing behavior, verified by existing tests.
