Pre-compaction housekeeping. Walks a checklist (persistent memory updates, git hygiene, trash cleanup) plus an open-judgment audit, produces an SBAR with a go/no-go recommendation, and emits a copy-pasteable resume prompt for the post-compaction agent if work remains. Run this immediately before /compact.

Mechanical git repo hygiene. Prunes stale remote-tracking refs, deletes merged local branches (with confirmation), and reports stashes, untracked files, and unpushed work. Never touches remote state. Safe by default — destructive operations require explicit operator approval.

Performance review. Detects project type and dispatches compute and/or web performance reviewers. Advisory only — no changes made.

Architectural review workflow. Analyzes codebase organization via noun analysis and produces a target blueprint. Advisory only — does not implement changes. Always offers to cut tickets for the planned work; orchestrators receive the proposal and apply their own autonomy judgment to approve / edit / decline.

Autonomous comprehensive review. Once-through pipeline over /review-health, /review-arch, /review-security, /review-perf, /review-a11y, /review-test, /review-release. Operator-configurable ticket creation at startup — when ON, auto-approves sub-skill ticket proposals per the orchestrator-family contract; when OFF, uniformly declines and surfaces findings in the consolidated report. Auto-detects su

Autonomous bug-elimination loop. Iteratively invokes /bug-hunt and /implement-batch until findings converge below an operator-specified severity floor. At termination, runs /review-test scoped to the run's new reproducing tests and fixes quality issues above the floor. Auto-approves /bug-hunt and /review-test ticket proposals; pulls the andon cord on contested findings, repeated implementation fai

Multi-ticket batch workflow. Takes a batch of tickets, plans execution order, implements each via /implement in autonomous mode, runs cross-cutting quality passes, and presents results for final review.

Mutation testing workflow. Systematically mutates source code to verify tests actually catch bugs. Multi-session with progress tracking.

Prospective failure imagination for a plan, decision, or running system. Operates in two modes — **plan mode** (a plan has not yet been committed to; imagine its catastrophic failure broadly) and **scenario mode** (a specific catastrophic scenario is posed against an existing system; investigate causes against the actual code and architecture). Spawns parallel pre-mortemers in isolation across thr

Comprehensive test suite review across five phases. Surveys unit coverage, integration coverage, E2E (browser) coverage for webapps, fuzz coverage, and test quality — in that order. Advisory only — produces findings and proposes tickets; does not implement test changes.

Autonomous technical lead. Takes commander's intent and drives a project to completion through an OODA loop over implementation, refactoring, review, and bug-hunting skills. Has broad authority — creates tickets, commits, invokes any skill — and only escalates via andon cord for irreversible actions, public releases, or genuinely blocking decisions. User acts as product owner; skill acts as tech l

Good-faith adversarial scrutiny of an idea or plan. Spawns critical skeptics across relevant lenses, pairs them with an advocate defending the idea, and synthesizes the exchange into a report. Produces feedback only — no code, no tickets, no artifacts.
