Core principle that the main agent is a coordinator, not an implementer. All work must be delegated to subagents.

This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-triage`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex to triage a large effort into multiple specs.

This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-feedback`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex to draft or submit feedback.

This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-start`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex to start or resume a spec.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "verify a fix", "reproduce failure", "diagnose issue", "check BEFORE/AFTER state", "VF task", "reality check", "check test quality", "mock-only tests", or needs guidance on verifying fixes by reproducing failures before and after implementation, or detecting mock-heavy test anti-patterns.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "add MCP server", "integrate MCP", "configure MCP in plugin", "use .mcp.json", "set up Model Context Protocol", "connect external service", mentions "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} with MCP", or discusses MCP server types (SSE, stdio, HTTP, WebSocket). Provides comprehensive guidance for integrating Model Context Protocol servers into Claude Code plugins for

Output rules for all agents - concise, scannable, actionable. Based on Matt Pocock's planning principles.

Comprehensive understanding of the spec-kit methodology. Constitution-driven feature development with specify, plan, tasks, and implement phases.

This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-index`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex to generate or refresh index artifacts.

This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-tasks`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex to run the tasks phase.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides

This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.

Core Smart Ralph skill defining common arguments, execution modes, and shared behaviors across all Ralph plugins.

This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-implement`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex to run implementation for approved tasks, quick mode, or an explicit continue request.

This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-switch`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex to switch the active spec.

This skill should be used when running an interactive interview before a spec phase, gathering requirements through dialogue, asking the user clarifying questions before delegating to a subagent, or when any Ralph phase command (research, requirements, design, tasks) needs adaptive brainstorming dialogue. Covers the 3-phase algorithm (Understand, Propose Approaches, Confirm and Store).

This skill should be used when the user asks about "plugin settings", "store plugin configuration", "user-configurable plugin", ".local.md files", "plugin state files", "read YAML frontmatter", "per-project plugin settings", or wants to make plugin behavior configurable. Documents the .claude/plugin-name.local.md pattern for storing plugin-specific configuration with YAML frontmatter and markdown

This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-help`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex for help or command guidance.

This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-status`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex for status or active spec progress.

This skill should be used when generating spec artifacts (research.md, requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md), formatting agent output, structuring phase results, or when any Ralph agent needs guidance on concise, scannable output formatting. Applies to all Ralph spec phase agents.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a plugin", "scaffold a plugin", "understand plugin structure", "organize plugin components", "set up plugin.json", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "add commands/agents/skills/hooks", "configure auto-discovery", or needs guidance on plugin directory layout, manifest configuration, component organization, file naming conventions, or Claude Code pl

This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-research`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex to run the research phase.

Use only when the user explicitly invokes `$ralph-specum`, requests Ralph Specum in Codex, asks Ralph Specum to handle a named phase, or explicitly requests autonomous or quick mode or continuation without pauses.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a feature", "create a spec", "start spec-driven development", "run research phase", "generate requirements", "create design", "plan tasks", "implement spec", "check spec status", "triage a feature", "create an epic", "decompose a large feature", or needs guidance on spec-driven development workflow, phase ordering, or epic orchestration.
