Make workflow steps enforceable by giving each one a file it must produce. Use when an agent skips steps in a long directive, playbook, or slash command despite them being marked MANDATORY/ABSOLUTE/BLOCKING; when writing or reviewing a multi-step workflow that must not be short-circuited; when a review, design, or…

Apply the "Choose Boring Technology" principle when evaluating tech stack decisions, adding new tools or frameworks, proposing a rewrite, or debating between a familiar vs. cutting-edge approach. Use this skill whenever someone is considering adopting a new library, language, database, or service—even if they frame it…

Run before pushing any branch that adds shipped files, hooks, or platform-specific code. Prevents the CI-whiplash pattern — multiple red pushes that could have been caught locally.

Command

Engineering Workflow Directive — Bug Remediation & Diagnostics. Sweeps every open confirmed-bug issue unattended, Memtrace-first, and runs each end to end THROUGH MERGE — diagnosis → failing-first TDD via gsd-test → two orthogonal reviews → PR → CI watch → merge. Per-issue artifact gates make each blocking step…

Command

Engineering Workflow Directive — Feature Implementation & Integrations. Implements a feature-request epic or single feature issue, Memtrace-first. Graph-backed research, recorded-decision + known-defect gauntlets, epic detection with seam-validated multi-PR decomposition (stacked or Fleet-parallel), then a…

Command

Command "review-open-prs" from The-Artificer-of-Ciphers-LLC/skills-from-the-artificer, covering batch pr review directive — all open prs i did not author, phase a — enumerate target prs & build the queue, phase b — per-pr directive (runs once per queued $pr), 0. context anchoring and 1. preconditions.

Command

Run the GSD test suite on Mac, Linux Docker, and Windows Docker (if configured), then compare results.

Command

Batch-triage every open needs-triage + needs-reproduction issue, Memtrace-first. Route by classification — defect → diagnose + Agent Brief + confirmed-bug (ready for agent); enhancement → interactive digest + prior-denial check + your approve/deny; feature request → augmented Feature Review Report + your Go/No-go.

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Top-level dispatcher that classifies every incoming request into scout / coder / architect tiers BEFORE any tool call. Routes Read, Grep, Glob, file-search, symbol-lookup, "where is X", and "list files matching Y" to haiku-scout. Routes known-location Edit, Write, multi-file refactor, test authoring, and bounded code…

Use BEFORE doing direct file search, bulk reads, data import/export, or routine coding edits in the main conversation. Routes work to the cheapest model that can do it correctly — haiku for search/IO, sonnet for coding, opus for orchestration/architecture. Triggers when about to call Read on >2 files, Grep/Glob across…

Agent

Cheap data import/export and bulk file-IO worker. Use for reading CSV/JSON/YAML/SQL dumps, transforming between formats, extracting fields, splitting/merging files, downloading and parsing fixtures, generating boilerplate scaffolds from a template, batch-renaming, and any mechanical "shuffle bytes around" task. Do NOT…

Agent

Cheap file-search and code-location worker. Use for "where is X defined", "which files reference Y", "list files matching pattern", "read file Z and report Q", "count LOC", "find the symbol that does W". Reads files, runs grep/glob, returns excerpts and paths. Do NOT use for code review, design analysis, cross-file…

The-Artificer-of-Ciphers-LLC/skills-from-the-artificer

Agent

Mid-tier coding worker. Use for writing, editing, and refactoring code once the design is decided and the location is known. Receives a precise instruction ("edit file X at function Y to do Z, here are the constraints") and executes it with tests. Do NOT use for architectural decisions, multi-system design, or…
