Performs a dry-run and then confirms the publication of coordinator plugin files to a specified publish-repo target. It enhances the publish.sh script with a gate and CI smoke tests.

Invoke this skill on any planning trigger from the PM (e.g., 'plan', 'break this down') for decision-weight work (multi-file, abstraction, etc.). Triage is handled within the skill; writing a plan to disk without invoking it is a doctrine violation.

Use when starting in a new project repo, when /update-docs reports tracker_missing, or on first coordinator-plugin run.

Use when a code change, diff, or pull request is ready for review, or when code-review findings have been implemented.

Use when a plan, design document, or RFC is ready for review, or when plan-review findings have been incorporated.

This skill shapes PM-gated roadmaps from research, deep-dives, and peer-repo inputs through a Synthesize → Substantiate → Plan → Dispatch pipeline. It produces detailed spinoff-roadmap stubs with deployment states and dependencies, citing PM-approved overviews and research, triggered by requests to shape roadmaps or plan sprint sequences.

Collaborate with the PM to define the problem's scope (the PRD half) strategically, before solutioning. This strategic problem definition then feeds into the coordinator:plan phase.

PM-controlled. This skill allows forking a mid-session topic into a distinct, actionable handoff (a spinoff), never initiated by an EM.

PM-gated: always ask first, never via a subagent. Agent Teams engage in collaborative planning and review exclusively for architectural decisions, with available modes being plan and review.

Use before commit, /merge-to-main, /workday-complete, or to validate repo state. Resolves and runs the project's configured fast-test command.

Night-shift code health review — queries completion entries for today's surfaces, dispatches reviewer, applies findings, updates health tracking.

Cleans up branch sprawl. Triggers: consolidate branches, clean up branches, stale branches, merge all branches.

Systematic codebase bug hunt — find and fix all AI-fixable bugs in-session, defer blocked ones to backlog

EM-PM conversation to review and prioritize the technical debt backlog. Triggers on demand or when open item count exceeds 20.

Execute a PM-approved implementation plan directly in the coordinator session

Involuntary mid-workstream save-state under context pressure. By definition a continuation, never a workstream ending — see Step 0.

Use when implementation is complete and tests pass — presents structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup to integrate the work.

Rotational arch audit — scores systems, audits top-priority, packages spinoff candidates. Never edits code; updates Last-targeted-audit clock.

Use for new feature requests, vague/ambiguous requirements, or multi-subsystem decomposition before plan mode.

Smoke-driven fix-through loop — invoke a newly-built thing (skill, script, pipeline, install process) and fix bugs until it works or gets replanned. Binary outcome only: converge or switch gears.

Run enrichment pipeline on chunk directories

Processes tasks/lessons.md as doctrine change-requests. 3 modes: local, central, recheck. Triggers on triage/trim/process lessons, promote universals.

Use when a branch is ready to merge to main. Drafts release notes, creates PR, waits for CI, merges, cleans up.

Pre-merge weekly code-review gate — N code-semantics chunk reviewers (Sonnet) + 3 mechanical specialist workers + no-rewrite synthesizer (BLOCKED/WARN/OK). The Staff Engineer runs a separate post-gate architecture pass, not the gate itself. Invoked only from /workweek-complete.

Resume work from a handoff or action a cross-repo memo — grab the baton and run.

Orient session: preflight, load context, and choose work.

Wrap up finished work, capture lessons, and update documentation.
