Public Skills
deft-directive-triage
by deftai
Withdrawn (#4070). Classify playbook is off. Work selection is plan-sequence:current then a read-only triage:queue listing. Replacement sieve is #4071. Triggers still match so packs:slice finds this stub.
deft-directive-portfolio-priority
by deftai
Pre-promotion portfolio prioritization: cluster competing open RFCs/issues from the local github-issue cache, emit a propose-not-apply priority brief (conflict matrix, shortlist, park), with epistemic citation gates, then hand off for operator dispose. Use when the operator asks for portfolio priority, a priority brief, competing RFCs, or to cluster open issues. Do NOT trigger on single-item "what's next?" ranking (deft-directive-triage / triage:queue) or post-promotion capacity prioritization (#1419/#1511).
deft-directive-refinement
by deftai
Conversational refinement session. Ingests external work items into xBRIEF proposed/ scope, deduplicates via origin references, evaluates proposals with the user, reconciles stale origins, and promotes/demotes scopes through the lifecycle using deterministic task commands.
deft-directive-triage
by deftai
Withdrawn (#4070). Classify playbook is off. Work selection is plan-sequence:current then a read-only triage:queue listing. Replacement sieve is #4071. Triggers still match so packs:slice finds this stub.
deft-directive-design-critique
by deftai
Thin router for the design-critique motion: triggers and pointer stops into the contract, including the operator-gated loop. Use when the operator asks for a design critique, design-critique, critique panel, or mechanism-shaped triage. Do NOT trigger on ordinary implement, build, or swarm work.
deft-directive-build
by deftai
Build a project from scope xBRIEFs following Deft Directive framework standards. Use after deft-directive-setup has generated the project definition, or when the user has story xBRIEFs in xbrief/active/ ready to implement. Handles scaffolding, implementation, testing, and quality checks phase by phase.
deft-directive-release
by deftai
Cut a v0.X.Y release of the deft framework safely. Use when the user says "release", "cut release", "v0.X.Y", or "publish release" -- to walk an 8-phase workflow that pre-flights, runs an end-to-end rehearsal against a temp repo, lands a draft GitHub release (npm ships irrevocably at tag push), optionally QA's draft assets, then publishes the GitHub release or rolls back. Re-uses the deft-directive-swarm Phase 6 Step 5 Slack announcement template.
deft-directive-interview
by deftai
Deterministic structured Q&A interview loop. Use when any skill needs to gather structured input from the user through a series of focused questions with numbered options, stated defaults, and a confirmation gate before artifact generation. Interview output targets xBRIEF narratives — not PRD.md.
deft-directive-gh-slice
by deftai
Break a SPECIFICATION.md, PRD, or plan into independently-grabbable GitHub Issues using tracer-bullet vertical slices. Use after spec generation, when the user wants to create implementation tickets, or when breaking work into parallel-assignable issues. Requires the GitHub CLI (gh).
deft-directive-setup
by deftai
Set up a new project with Deft Directive framework standards. Use when the user wants to bootstrap user preferences, configure a project, or generate a project specification. Walks through setup conversationally — no separate CLI needed.
deft-directive-pre-pr
by deftai
Iterative pre-PR quality improvement loop. Use before pushing a branch for PR creation -- after completing implementation but before task check. Cycles through Read-Write-Lint-Diff until a full pass produces zero changes.
deft-directive-sync
by deftai
Session-start framework sync and upgrade handoff. Refreshes deposit via npm + directive/deft update, validates xBRIEF lifecycle, detects stale origins (RFC D12), and finishes SCM release handoff in released pr-open blocked:<reason> (#1604).
Deft Framework
by deftai
Best practices and guidelines for AI agents in software development
deft-directive-review-cycle
by deftai
Greptile / GitHub adapter for coding/review.md: babysit a PR to merge-ready — audit process prerequisites, fetch bot findings, fix in one batch commit, exit when no P0/P1 remain. Supersedes Cursor global babysit on Deft-managed repos (#2261 / #1471).
deft-directive-cost
by deftai
Pre-build cost & budget transparency phase. Use after the project SPECIFICATION is approved and before the build skill kicks off, to produce a plain-English COST-ESTIMATE.md the user can read, react to, and explicitly accept, rescope, no-build, or skip with a recorded reason. Audience is non- technical users; voice is dollars and whole-number bands, not spreadsheets.
deft-directive-feedback
by deftai
Batched session-end gap escalation for directive consumers. Collects friction/gap reports, drafts deduped framework-gap issues against deftai/directive, and files upstream only after explicit operator confirmation. Gated on plan.policy.valueFeedback upstreamPrompt.
deft-directive-issue-eval
by deftai
Thin router for Stage A issue evaluation: isolated origin/master validity, parent WIP census, named gitignored sink. Use when the operator asks to evaluate issues, run issue-eval, or triage:evaluate. Do NOT trigger on ordinary implement, build, swarm, or design-critique dispatch.
deft-directive-swarm
by deftai
Parallel local agent orchestration. Use when running multiple agents on story-level xBRIEFs simultaneously — to scan active/ for allocatable work, set up isolated worktrees, launch agents with proven prompts, monitor progress, handle stalled review cycles, and close out PRs cleanly.
deft-directive-probe
by deftai
Adversarial plan stress-testing via relentless one-question-per-turn interrogation. Use when the operator asks to run probe, /deft:run:probe, or wants a plan challenged before committing to it.
deft-directive-write-skill
by deftai
Create new deft skills with proper structure, RFC2119 notation, triggers, and progressive disclosure. Use when user wants to create, write, or build a new deft skill.
deft-directive-portfolio-priority
by deftai
Pre-promotion portfolio prioritization: cluster competing open RFCs/issues from the local github-issue cache, emit a propose-not-apply priority brief (conflict matrix, shortlist, park), with epistemic citation gates, then hand off for operator dispose. Use when the operator asks for portfolio priority, a priority brief, competing RFCs, or to cluster open issues.
deft-directive-article-review
by deftai
Evaluate an article, paper, or post for lessons that could improve directive. Analyzes two axes: how concepts improve directive's own implementation, and how they improve the projects directive creates. Produces filtered suggestions, iterates with the user, and optionally creates GitHub issues on the directive repo. Use when evaluating an article, paper, post, or URL for directive improvements, or when the user says "analyze this article", "evaluate this article", or "what can we learn from this for directive".
deft-directive-xbrief
by deftai
Create and verify dense xBRIEF artifacts (json md both) at an explicit --out path. On-demand pack templates for scope/playbook/mission/project styles. Use when compressing SoT into xBRIEF or running xbrief:create / xbrief:verify. Do NOT trigger on scope lifecycle (promote/activate/complete).
deft-directive-sync
by deftai
Session-start framework sync and upgrade handoff. Refreshes deposit via npm + directive/deft update, validates xBRIEF lifecycle, detects stale origins (RFC D12), and finishes SCM release handoff in released pr-open blocked:<reason> (#1604).
