Skill Claude CodeCodex
This skill should be used when creating, refreshing, or validating a repository AGENTS.md so it stays concise, current, and grounded in repository evidence. Use when AGENTS.md is missing or stale, after refactors or tooling changes, when new docs become the system of record, or when adding lightweight drift checks.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Set up ast-grep for a codebase with common TypeScript rules for detecting anti-patterns, enforcing best practices, and preventing bugs. Creates sgconfig.yml, rule files, and rule tests. Use when adding structural linting, banning legacy patterns, or implementing ratchet gates.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Run or continue a differential debugging session between two implementations, traces, captures, or outputs. Record artifact identity, exact commands, first mismatch progression, findings, validation, and next probe in a durable session log.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Execute implementation plans from .artifacts/plan/. Focus on EXECUTING ONLY - no planning, no fixes outside plan scope. Uses gated checks, atomic commits, and maintains a single execution log in .artifacts/execute/. Use when the user says "execute this plan" or provides a plan path.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Map a repository's mechanical harness layers: canonical check command, local and CI gates, architecture boundaries, structural rules, behavioral verification, docs ratchets, evidence workflows, and operator-facing surfaces. Use when you need to understand how a repo keeps change safe.

Generate execution-ready implementation plans from research docs - planning ONLY, no fixing or verifying. North Star is whether a JR developer can execute the plan with zero additional context.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Perform quality assurance on code changes after the research-phase -> plan-phase -> execute-phase workflow. STRICTLY QA only—no coding, no fixes, no source-code changes. Focus on changed areas only, emphasizing control/data flow correctness.

Skill Claude CodeCodex
This skill should be used when mapping or researching a codebase to understand its structure, patterns, and architecture. Use when the user asks to "map the codebase", "research how X works", "find all Y patterns", or needs to understand code organization. Produces factual structural maps in .artifacts/research/—no…
