Locate root causes of failing regression tests by analyzing code changes, error messages, and test dependencies. Use when regression tests start failing after code changes, investigating test failures in CI/CD, debugging flaky tests, or understanding why previously passing tests now fail. Analyzes git diffs, stack…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Compares HEAD with the latest published version to analyze real changes, group by type, and recommend version bumps. Use before publishing a release to understand what actually changed.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Automatically generate user-facing release notes from git commits, pull requests, changelogs, and code changes. Use when preparing software releases, creating version announcements, documenting what changed between versions, or communicating updates to users. Analyzes commit messages, PR descriptions, and code diffs…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Instruments programs to record execution information for deterministic replay debugging. Use when debugging hard-to-reproduce bugs (race conditions, timing issues, intermittent failures, heisenbugs), reproducing production failures, or analyzing complex execution sequences. Records non-deterministic events (I/O…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Instruments programs to capture execution traces specifically for reproducing reported bugs, enabling consistent replay and diagnosis of failures. Use this skill when you need to reproduce a bug, capture execution traces for debugging, instrument code to record program behavior, generate replay scripts for bug…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Generates comprehensive test scenarios from requirements including BDD/Gherkin scenarios, unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end test cases. Use when converting requirements, user stories, or specifications into testable scenarios with full coverage including happy paths, error cases, edge cases, and boundary…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Compares old and new requirement documents, analyzes code repository impact, and generates detailed modification plans. Use when Claude needs to: (1) Compare requirement versions and identify changes, (2) Map requirement changes to code components, (3) Identify components to modify, delete, or add, (4) Analyze…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Verify that design documents, code implementations, and tests fully cover all specified requirements. Use this skill when validating requirement traceability, conducting design reviews, assessing implementation completeness, checking test coverage against requirements, performing compliance audits, or identifying…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Iteratively enhance user requirements into clear, complete, actionable specifications through analysis and clarification. Use when: (1) Users provide initial requirements that need refinement, (2) Requirements are vague, incomplete, or ambiguous, (3) Creating formal specifications from informal descriptions, (4)…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Extract and summarize core features, constraints, and priorities from requirement documents. Use when analyzing PRDs, RFCs, business requirements, user stories, epics, or any requirement documentation to identify must-have features, technical constraints, priority levels (P0/P1/P2/MoSCoW), and key decision points.…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Generate concise, structured summaries of requirements for quick team understanding. Use when analyzing requirements from text documents (MD, TXT, DOCX) or technical specifications to create bullet-point summaries that highlight core functionality and dependencies/constraints. Ideal for sprint planning, stakeholder…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Automatically derives TLA+ properties (invariants, safety, liveness) from natural-language requirements or structured requirement documents. Resolves ambiguities, asks clarifying questions for underspecified requirements, and outputs TLA+-compatible property definitions with semantic explanations. Use when translating…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Suggests rollback strategies for failed deployments across different platforms and failure types. Use when deployments fail and need to be reverted, including application code rollbacks, database migration reversions, infrastructure changes, and configuration updates. Supports Docker/Docker Compose environments with…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Hardware verification tool for checking functional equivalence between two RTL designs (Verilog). Use when users need to: (1) Verify if two RTL versions are functionally equivalent, (2) Compare original vs. refactored RTL code, (3) Validate design changes or optimizations, (4) Identify semantic vs. cosmetic…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Automatically infer formal correctness properties from Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL code and generate SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA). Identifies control-flow invariants (mutual exclusion, valid-ready handshakes, pipeline ordering, safety properties), liveness expectations, and temporal properties. Use when working with…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Check behavioral consistency between high-level hardware specifications and RTL implementations. Use when asked to check RTL consistency, verify RTL against spec, check hardware specification compliance, validate RTL implementation, find spec violations in RTL, check behavioral consistency, or when working with…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Explains runtime errors and compilation failures with actionable debugging guidance. Use when Python or Java code throws runtime exceptions (NullPointerException, TypeError, AttributeError, etc.), compilation errors (syntax errors, type mismatches, import failures), or dependency issues. Analyzes error messages, stack…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
