Public Skills
recommendation-letters
by adamwstauffer
Draft or edit recommendation / reference letters for Adam W. Stauffer's students (Shidler College of Business, UH Mānoa) in his established house style. Use whenever asked to write, draft, tweak, or tailor a letter of recommendation, reference letter, or LOR — for graduate/MBA/law admissions, scholarships, study abroad, internships, or jobs. Enforces the non-negotiable rule to NEVER invent facts (grades, GPAs, employers, titles, achievements, career goals, motivations) and to keep any placeholder generic. Points to the master template, the per-course "course block" library, and where finished letters are stored.
grill-me
by adamwstauffer
Use when the user types "/grill-me", says "grill me", "stress-test this", or "interrogate the plan" — a sequential, one-question-at-a-time interrogation that converges decisions BEFORE they calcify in a decision memo, a course/stage restructure, a rubric, or a template. Augments (does not replace) brainstorming: brainstorming expands the option space, grill-me converges it. Includes a mandatory Auto-Pushback Pass and a Repo Convergence Check that enforces this repo's "no speculative restructuring" principle.
breakpoint
by adamwstauffer
Emit a structured "pickup prompt" before a context break so work survives compaction or a new session. Auto-activates when running /breakpoint, when the user says "pickup prompt", "breakpoint", "hand off", "checkpoint this", or is about to run /compact or /clear mid-task. Reads git, open/merged PRs, branch/worktree state, the task list, and in-flight decision memos + grading passes, then writes a copy-paste-ready resume block to the conversation AND persists it to a dated file. CLAUDE.md prose alone gets skipped under load — this makes the handoff mechanical.
memory-hygiene
by adamwstauffer
Audit and maintain the Claude auto-memory store (MEMORY.md index + single-fact *.md files under ~/.claude/projects/C--GitHub-shidler/memory/). Use periodically, before a /compact, after a session that wrote new memories, or when MEMORY.md grows past ~25 entries. Runs validate_memory.py to find broken index links (errors), dangling [[name]] cross-refs and orphan files (warnings), and missing frontmatter. Auto-activates on /memory-hygiene.
claude-md-audit
by adamwstauffer
Audit CLAUDE.md and the memory store (MEMORY.md + fact files) for drift — stale path citations, cross-file contradictions, duplicated facts, and bloat. Use periodically (monthly, or after a big restructure), not on every change. Read-only by default; reports findings by severity with file:line + suggested fix, and routes anything not fixed this session to a follow-up note. Auto-activates on /claude-md-audit.
design-critique
by adamwstauffer
Brand-anchored critique of UH Mānoa-branded materials (HTML pages, slide decks, PDFs, branded Markdown) against the design tokens in docs/_branding/design.json and the brand-guidelines skill. Flags off-brand and generic "AI-slop" patterns, scores on UH-anchored dimensions, and emits a prioritized fix list. Advisory only — does not apply fixes. Auto-activates on /design-critique.
Accounting Ratios — Claude Skill
by adamwstauffer
Avoid banks, insurance companies, and REITs — their financial statements don't align with these ratios.
brand-guidelines
by adamwstauffer
Applies University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa official brand colors, typography, and design standards to any artifact that benefits from UH Mānoa's institutional look-and-feel. Use when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, document styling, presentation design, or university design standards apply. Also use when creating materials for Shidler College of Business courses.
docx
by adamwstauffer
"Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files). Triggers include: any mention of \"Word doc\", \"word document\", \".docx\", or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a \"report\", \"memo\", \"letter\", \"template\", or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation."
skill-creator
by adamwstauffer
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
pptx
by adamwstauffer
"Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions \"deck,\" \"slides,\" \"presentation,\" or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill."
internal-comms
by adamwstauffer
A set of resources to help write all kinds of internal communications for the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and the Shidler College of Business. Claude should use this skill whenever asked to write internal communications (course announcements, department updates, 3P updates, college newsletters, FAQs, project updates, committee reports, faculty/staff memos, etc.).
xlsx
by adamwstauffer
"Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like \"the xlsx in my downloads\") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved."
