Public Skills
updating-work-item
by squirrel289
"Update an existing work item with status changes, effort tracking, test results, and related commits. Use when progressing work, recording test results, or adjusting estimates. Supports: (1) Status transitions (proposed → ready → in-progress → ready-for-review → closed), (2) Feature branch creation and sync, (3) Automatic PR creation on ready-for-review transition, (4) Effort tracking (estimated → actual), (5) Test and commit tracking, (6) Dependency validation (all depends_on items must be closed before closing), (7) Notes with timestamps"
creating-skill
by squirrel289
Evaluate a specific use case or skill idea against memory patterns and existing skills, then provide actionable recommendations for enhancing existing skills, creating new PAX skills, project-local skills, aspects, or AGENTS.md updates. Delegates actual skill creation to skill-creator.
workspace-isolation
by squirrel289
"Use git worktrees to maintain isolated workspaces for multiple parallel work items. Ensures atomic commits, prevents state conflicts, and enables true parallelism with clean git history. Use when executing multiple work items simultaneously with complete workspace separation."
finalizing-work-item
by squirrel289
"Complete and archive a finished work item, moving it from /backlog/ to /backlog/archive/. Use when work is tested, reviewed, merged, and ready to close. Supports: (1) Verify completion (all acceptance criteria met), (2) Record final metrics (actual_hours, completed_date, test_results), (3) Clean up feature branch, (4) Archive to history, (5) Link successor work items if needed"
performing-retro
by squirrel289
"Conduct a post-session review to organize changes into logical commits and document work. Use when: (1) Session has implemented features, fixes, or refactoring and changes are scattered across files, (2) Need to group related changes into atomic commits with conventional messages, (3) Want to create summary documentation of work completed, (4) Final validation before pushing changes. Helps transform a working session into clean git history and clear documentation."
guarding-branches
by squirrel289
"Enforce protected-branch guardrails for safe PR lifecycle, conflict resolution, and merge safety. Use when working on feature branches against protected main: before merging feature PRs, resolving merge conflicts, syncing with main, or managing work-item updates on protected branches."
executing-backlog
by squirrel289
"Orchestrate the full lifecycle of implementing backlog work items from planning through delivery, with integrated validation gating for bulk operations. Use when: (1) Asked to execute backlog, implement work items (WI-ABC), or close out a task, (2) Implementing changes across 3+ similar files, (3) Need end-to-end delivery including PR/merge. Coordinates with prevalidating-bulk-operations for routing and discover-validation-criteria for schema discovery."
creating-work-item
by squirrel289
"Create a new work item (backlog entry) with standardized structure, metadata, and conventions. Use when starting new work, proposing features, or documenting tasks. Supports: (1) Auto-numbering next available ID, (2) Frontmatter with status/priority/effort fields, (3) Goal/Background/Tasks/Deliverables/Acceptance Criteria structure, (4) Dependency tracking via wikilinks"
managing-work-items
by squirrel289
"Orchestrate the full lifecycle of work items from creation through finalization. Use when: (1) Starting new tracked work with proper structure, (2) Progressing work items through status transitions, (3) Completing and archiving finished work. Composes: creating-work-item, updating-work-item, finalizing-work-item."
auditing-backlog
by squirrel289
"Run an end-to-end backlog audit by composing dependency graph validation with evidence-backed checklist validation. Use when asked to audit backlog quality before release, verify closure readiness, clean up stale completion status, or produce one cohesive backlog health report from dependency and checkbox findings."
auditing-backlog-checkboxes
by squirrel289
"Audit backlog work items in closed, completed, or ready-for-review status that still contain unchecked checklist items ([ ]). Validate each unchecked item against code and test evidence, mark only fully validated items as [x], and output only a per-work-item summary status report for Tasks and Acceptance Criteria plus recommended workflow next steps. Use when asked to audit completion evidence, clean up stale checklists, or prepare work items for closure/finalization."
auditing-backlog-dependency-graph
by squirrel289
'Perform comprehensive dependency analysis and health checks on work item backlog. Use when asked to "audit backlog", "check work item dependencies", "find missing dependencies", "analyze work items", or before major releases to validate backlog integrity. Includes bidirectional dependency analysis, orphan detection, and consistency checks.'
resolve-pr-comments
by squirrel289
Workflow skill for addressing and resolving pull request review comments systematically
organizing-documents-diataxis
by squirrel289
"Apply Diataxis framework to organize workflow output into documentation directories. Use to guide skill output placement: inline by default unless user requests file; rationale-heavy content to docs/architecture/; lookup tables and reference guides to docs/reference/. Avoid standalone analysis summaries in docs root. Composable into any analysis or decision-making skill."
validating-changes
by squirrel289
"Validate code changes before PR update and merge. Use when preparing to update a PR, pushing changes, or running pre-merge checks: (1) run local CI parity tests, (2) add regression tests for new failures, (3) verify all tests pass before pushing or requesting review."
prevalidating-bulk-operations
by squirrel289
"Route bulk file operations (3+ similar files) to systematic validation pattern or direct implementation. Use when: (1) Planning bulk updates, (2) Need to decide sample-validation approach, (3) Assessing validation risk in bulk operations. Evaluates file count, schema discoverability, and operation type to determine routing: PATTERN_REQUIRED, PATTERN_CONDITIONAL, or DIRECT."
migrating-git-filter-repo
by squirrel289
Move one or more subdirectories or files from one Git repository to another with git filter-repo while preserving commit history, authorship, and timestamps. Use when asked to split monorepos, migrate multiple paths between repositories, import selected files/folders into a new or existing repository, or retire source paths after verified migration.
writing-agents-md
by squirrel289
Create, review, and improve AGENTS.md or agent.md files using proven patterns from GitHub's analysis of 2,500+ repositories. Use when asked to author or refactor repository-level AGENTS.md guidance, .github/agents/*.md personas, command/runbook sections, safety boundaries, or agent templates.
discovering-alternatives
by squirrel289
"Exhaustive discovery of build, buy, and hybrid options for a stated problem, using pretrained knowledge plus RAG (local memory, repo search, user-provided details, and web search). Use when you need a comprehensive alternatives list and a decision matrix with ranked options. Trigger phrases: discover alternatives, build vs buy, solution landscape, option discovery, vendor shortlist."
comparative-decision-analysis
by squirrel289
"Comparative decision analysis workflow with mandatory discovery (including external options), criteria derivation and confirmation, explicit evidence discipline, hard-constraint gating, and deterministic scoring. Use for vendor analysis, head-to-head comparisons, competitor analysis, tool/architecture/workflow selection, and build-vs-buy decisions when you need reliable, auditable recommendations."
capturing-events
by squirrel289
Capture workspace events (file modifications, terminal commands, diagnostics, skill invocations) into local memory for pattern detection and skill evolution. Provider-agnostic design supports GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, and universal workspace-only mode.
evaluating-alternative
by squirrel289
"Evaluate one alternative against confirmed criteria in strict isolation and emit a schema-compatible independent evaluator record. Use for delegated per-option subagent scoring in comparative decision workflows."
comparative-analysis
by squirrel289
Structured, repeatable, objective comparative analysis for choosing between alternatives. Use when selecting skills, tools, architectures, workflows, or build-vs-buy options and when you need explicit criteria definition, metric-based scoring, cross-platform and current-platform success scores, and a deterministic recommendation with a concise decision record.
hybrid-decision-analysis
by squirrel289
'Hybrid comparative decision workflow with mandatory discovery (including external options), criteria derivation and confirmation, explicit evidence discipline, hard-constraint gating, and deterministic scoring. Use when selecting skills, tools, architectures, workflows, vendors, or build-vs-buy options and when you need reliable, auditable recommendations.'
