Use when encountering questions about WHY code is built a certain way, when about to make architectural changes (new patterns, restructuring, choosing between approaches), or when the user asks about design rationale in a Repowise-indexed codebase (.repowise/ directory exists). Also activates when commit messages or…
Use when reviewing a set of changes before they merge — a PR, a branch diff, or the working-tree changes you just made — in a Repowise-indexed codebase (.repowise/ directory exists). Activates for "review this PR", "is this safe to merge", "what's the blast radius of these changes", "did I miss anything", or "what…
Use when exploring, understanding, or answering questions about a codebase that has Repowise indexed (a .repowise/ directory in the project root). Activates for "how does X work", "explain the architecture", "where is Y implemented", "what does this module do", or any task that needs an understanding of structure…
Manage stacked branches and pull requests with the gh-stack GitHub CLI extension. Use when the user wants to create, push, rebase, sync, navigate, or view stacks of dependent PRs. Triggers on tasks involving stacked diffs, dependent pull requests, branch chains, or incremental code review workflows.
Use sem to get entity-level (function/class/method) semantic diffs, impact analysis, blame, and dependency context from any Git repo. Trigger this skill whenever the user asks what changed in a commit or PR, wants to understand the blast radius of a change, needs to know who last modified a function, wants to trace…
Bootstraps a new multi-agent repository from the RepoBrain template via initagentrepo. Supports quick scaffold and full runtime profile setup including MCP toggle, swarm preference, sandbox type, and optional git init. LLM configuration is handled later by rb-setup.
Exposes graph-based retrieval as a tool capability via querygraph. Reads normalized graph store files, builds a query-relevant subgraph, and returns LLM-friendly semantic triples with replayable evidence metadata.
High-level deployment wrapper over RepoBrain core with graph-first knowledge injection and all-file support. Exposes refreshfilesystem and askfilesystem for building and querying the knowledge graph.
Use when planning, running, grading, or reporting the by-hand Octocode research benchmark — pairwise matchups (Octocode anchor vs one baseline: gh+RTK, gh+Headroom, or plain gh) over markdown questions, with a fresh isolated runner agent per (question, arm, pass), one blind judge per question grading two answers X/Y…
Use when an idea needs disciplined exploration before building: generate options, test whether it is worth building, map adjacent solutions, challenge assumptions, narrow scope, or choose Build RFC / Prototype / Narrow / Park — even if nobody said brainstorm. Already decided to implement a specific plan → skip.
Use when code must be checked, not assumed: trace connections (callers, imports, cross-repo wiring, what breaks if I change it), locate behavior, map a system, diagnose a failure, RCA. Also for external repositories, npm packages, upstream/prior art, and general research. Plan a coding flow before writing, validate it…
Whole-codebase structural map of the codanna index as one self-contained HTML disc. Wedges per top-level module, concentric rings with hubs at the centre, hover or click a symbol to light its edge web, search, hide or highlight modules, brush a date range on the ribbon timeline (symbols dated by git blame), heatmap of…
Use Cortex decision memory through the normal Memtrace MCP tools. Trigger for free-text questions about what was decided, chosen, rejected, banned, or established as a convention; for why a symbol exists or which contracts constrain it; for whether a known decision held, drifted, or was violated; and for the…
Route code discovery, debugging, flow tracing, how-code-works questions, and pre-edit rationale checks in indexed source-code repos to Memtrace graph plus Cortex decision tools. Use first before searching/reading code, and before editing, refactoring, deleting, or re-picking an approach that may have a recorded…
Pull the codebase's empirical style norm from Memtrace and match it when writing or editing source code in an indexed repo. Use when choosing between competing idioms (ternary vs if-else, arrow vs function declaration, const vs let, await vs .then, early-return vs nested-return), matching naming case, or when the user…
Use ProjectAtlas as the atlas-first orientation layer before broad source reads, with MCP-first task startup, short-alias worktree registration and routing, safe targeted initialization, ranked navigation, exact or federated graph evidence, purpose curation, health, lint, and repository-wide token reporting.
Build, review, or fix ProjectAtlas plugin/runtime installer integration for Codex, Claude Code, and OpenCode, especially version convergence, stale ProjectAtlas cache repair, MCP config generation, skill artifacts, host smoke tests, and fake-host tests for ProjectAtlas releases.
Use narsil-mcp code intelligence tools effectively. Use when searching code, finding symbols, analyzing call graphs, scanning for security vulnerabilities, exploring dependencies, or performing static analysis on indexed repositories.
Generate a structural architecture overview of a codebase: languages, package map, entry points, dependency graph, and hotspots. One call for the big picture.
Enumerate exported symbols in a file and surface those with zero references across the workspace. Use when auditing for dead code, cleaning up APIs, or checking which exports are safe to remove.
