Public Skills
cortex-skills-loop
by NickCrew
"Drives the cortex skills recommend-feedback-rate loop. Use when a context change occurs (new file types, domain shift, task pivot) or when a task completes and skill effectiveness should be recorded."
a10-brand
by NickCrew
Apply A10 Networks brand guidelines to any frontend output — React/JSX artifacts, HTML pages, dashboards, PDFs, infographics, charts, presentations, and documentation. Use this skill whenever creating or reviewing visual content for A10 Networks, Signal Horizon, Synapse, ThreatX Labs, The Crows, or any A10-related product. Also trigger when the user mentions A10 brand colors, Rubik font, square corners, or asks to make something "on-brand" for A10. This includes reviewing existing work against brand guidelines. If you are building any visual artifact and the context suggests it is for A10 Networks, use this skill even if the user doesn't explicitly ask for brand compliance.

This skill should be used when documentation may be stale, missing, or misorganized — after feature work, refactors, dependency upgrades, or as a periodic health check.
