- Principle FrontmatterA seven-line principle whose body starts on line 5.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- ArchitectSketch types, signatures, and module structure before code, then stay in the loop while implementation fills in. Use for /architect, 'architect this', 'design this', or non-trivial work where jumping to code would lock in the wrong shape.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- ArenaSpawn N parallel candidates at the same task, pick a base, graft the strongest parts of the losers into it. Use for /arena, 'arena this', 'throw it in the arena', or when one attempt at a non-trivial artifact would lock in the wrong shape.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Automate MeUse for \"automate me\", \"create/update/refresh my -mode skill\", \"turn/capture my preferences or working style into a skill\", or wanting agents to follow how the user works. Drafts or revises a personal -mode skill via anthropic-skills:skill-creator + unslop, optionally pulling fresh evidence from recent transcripts.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Control CliBuild or adapt a local harness to drive, inspect, and profile an interactive CLI or TUI without external services. Use for CLI UX checks, startup regressions, memory leaks, hangs, prompt flows, or terminal demos.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Control UiBuild or adapt a local browser/CDP harness to drive and inspect a web, IDE, or Electron UI. Use for local UI verification, screenshots, accessibility snapshots, perf profiles, visual diffs, or reproducing UI bugs.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Create Verification SkillGenerate a project-local verification skill that drives your app the way a user does — any language, framework, or platform. Use for /create-verification-skill, \"make a control skill for this repo\", or when a project has no scripted way to prove UI/CLI/service behavior.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Figure It OutDesign an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions via show-me-your-work. Use for /figure-it-out, 'figure it out', a large migration, or when no narrower playbook applies.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- HowUse for \"how does X work\", code walkthroughs before changing something, and placement / ownership / layering questions (\"where should this live\", \"which package owns this\", \"is this the right layer\"). Explains subsystem architecture, runtime flow, onboarding mental models. Use why for motivation.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- InterrogateUse for \"interrogate\", \"adversarial review\", \"multi-model review\", \"challenge this\", \"stress test this code\", \"find blind spots\", or \"tear this apart\". Multiple LLM reviewers challenge changes from independent angles.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Make Bot UiUse when building a custom UI (page, dashboard, buttons) that should wake a Grok Bot over a webhook, when the user must provide a webhook sender key, or when exposing that UI on Tailscale.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- No CommentsSpawn Comment Sicko, fix accepted findings, and offer encodings for claimed constraints.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2

- HowExplain how a subsystem works.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Playbooks**You own the skill's voice.** 1. Use the **anthropic-skills:skill-creator** skill (Anthropic's skill for authoring SKILL.md files). 2. Validate the skill: frontmatter has `name` and `description`, referenced files exist, cross-skill links resolve. 3. Test cases if structural. Skip if subjective. 4. Run **Opening a PR**. When in doubt, delete. Keep only prose that changes a decision. Tell it to do the thing and skip the reason. Explain only when the rule is confusing without one. Match tone t...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- RecallReconstruct your recent working context from your own chat history, live state, and the shared record (user reports, prior fixes, incidents), then hand back a tight current-state brief. Use for 'recall my work on X', 'catch me up', 'what have I been working on', 'where did I leave off', before starting or resuming work.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- ReflectSpawn three parallel review subagents over the active transcript, surface learnings, and route each to a concrete edit on an existing skill. Use when the user says reflect.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Setup PstackConfigure which models pstack uses per role and at what budget. Writes the model configuration the pstack session hook loads into every session, overriding the skill defaults. Use for /setup-pstack, "configure pstack models", "pstack budget", or changing pstack's model choices.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Show Me Your WorkKeep a reviewable decision trail for long-running or unattended work: a TSV log with one row per decision (what, why, evidence, result). Local by default; commit it when a reviewer needs the trail to trust the result. Use for /show-me-your-work, autonomous or multi-phase runs, or work a human reviews after stepping away.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- SwarmFan out N parallel workers, drain them, and return one report. Use for /swarm, 'swarm this', or parallel coverage, races, gauntlets, and exploration.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- TeachExplain a body of work plainly so a person actually understands it. Runs the `how` and `why` skills and weaves what they find into one clear explanation. Use for 'teach me this', 'help me really understand X', 'explain this change or subsystem to me'.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Typescript Best PracticesTypeScript best practices. Use when reading or editing any .ts or .tsx file.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Verify PstackDrive the pstack agent harness the way a session experiences it and prove its behaviors with evidence. Use for /verify-pstack, after editing anything under poteto-mode or its hook, or when a session seems to have lost poteto mode.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Verify ThisVerify a claim with fresh local evidence: restate it falsifiably, capture baseline and treatment, compare artifacts, and return VERIFIED, NOT VERIFIED, or INCONCLUSIVE.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- WhyUse for 'why does X work this way', 'why we picked Y', design rationale, regressions, postmortems, or data-backed thresholds. Discovers available MCPs and queries each evidence category (source control, issue tracker, long-form docs, real-time chat, infrastructure observability, error tracking, product analytics warehouse) in parallel, then returns a cited read on decisions and tradeoffs. Use how for runtime behavior.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- AfkEnter the away posture when the captain invokes /afk, says they are going afk, `state/.afk-contract` or `state/.afk` exists, an incoming message starts with `FM_INJECT_MARK`, or any `state/.subsuper-*` marker is involved. It writes the durable away-posture record with the captain's away words verbatim as the whole mandate in the same turn as /afk, before any other work and without waiting for a further go, reads the words back in plain sentences after entry, announces hold-for-return only at ...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Agent Skill Trigger IndexLoad only when auditing or maintaining the complete agent-only skill trigger index.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- AhoyRecap visible session events and guide the captain through visibly unanswered decisions when the captain explicitly invokes /ahoy, with a Bearings fallback when /ahoy is the session's first real captain message.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Ask User AuthorityAgent-only decision procedure for ask-user findings. Use before deciding any ask-user finding. This skill is the single owner of finding-decision policy: firstmate always applies judgment, decides findings that are unambiguous toward accepted intent, and escalates only genuinely ambiguous, expanding, or destructive ones. Finding authority is this skill's criteria, not the project's yolo posture.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Away Quiet SupervisionLoad whenever /afk or /quiet is invoked, an away or quiet record exists, or a marked away-supervisor message arrives.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- BearingsGenerate a "pick up where I left off" fleet digest from firstmate's live fleet state. Use when the captain invokes /bearings or asks for a bearings report, morning brief, status report, catch-up, "where did I leave off", or "what's in the works". Plain /bearings is chat-only by default, /bearings file explicitly writes the dated data/status-report-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md artifact, and /bearings lavish additionally builds and arms the interactive fleet board; live PR enrichment remains opt-in and comp...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Bootstrap DiagnosticsAgent-only handling playbook for session-start bootstrap diagnostics. Use whenever the session-start digest's bootstrap or network-checks section prints an actionable diagnostic line - MISSING, MISSING_MANUAL, PRESENTATION_UNAVAILABLE, BACKEND_INVALID, NEEDS_GH_AUTH, TANGLE, STARTUP_MEMORY_BUDGET, CREW_DISPATCH invalid, FLEET_SYNC, NETWORK_CHECKS, HOME_SUMMARY, BACKLOG_RECONCILE, SECONDMATE_SYNC, SECONDMATE_LIVENESS, SECONDMATE_HANDOFF, NUDGE_SECONDMATES, or FMX - or reports that an interrupt...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Captain Hold LifecycleAgent-only policy for completing investigations and visual reviews without losing unresolved captain calls, and for closing what the captain owns with his actual words. Load before treating an investigation, scout report, structured review, or Lavish review as complete, before ending a visual review that exposed a captain decision, when recording or routing the captain's answer, and on any RECORD DIVERGENCE line the wake drain prints.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Control FirstmateDrive one real firstmate session through a captain trace and measure how long each firstmate claim took to become true, with `node tools/fm-drive/drive.mjs run <trace.json>`. Use when a verify-firstmate session needs to be driven or timed from an agent, when a firstmate behavior must be proven against a live primary in a throwaway home, or when a new session-tier feature needs a trace instead of a shell script. Traces are JSON in the captain's own words, claims come from a closed catalog of h...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Decision Hold LifecycleRenamed pointer kept for in-flight briefs: the decisions concept collapsed into "a task held for the captain". Load captain-hold-lifecycle instead; this stub only redirects and will be removed one release after the collapse.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Diagnostic ReasoningAgent-only procedure for diagnosing reported bugs. Use before scoping a reported bug and before acting on a diagnostic report. Owns end-user-aligned reproduction, causal separation, divergent-path and history inspection, counterfactual testing, and disconfirming evidence.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Firstmate CodexappAgent-only playbook for coordinating visible Codex Desktop threads alongside Firstmate without pretending they are a selectable shell backend. Use before creating, reading, steering, archiving, debugging, or reviewing a Codex App visible thread for Firstmate work, and before responding to requests to make Codex App native to Firstmate.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Firstmate Coding GuidelinesAgent-only reference for changing firstmate's shared, tracked material per AGENTS.md section 1. Use before editing any of that material, whether working as firstmate directly or as a crewmate briefed on a firstmate-repo task. Covers the knowledge-placement decision tree, the one-owner rule for contracts, the inline-stub pattern for content moved into a skill, AGENTS.md size discipline, trigger hygiene for new skills, and repo style rules (one sentence per line, plain dash, no agent co-author,...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Firstmate OrcaAgent-only operator checklist for Firstmate's Orca runtime backend. Use when switching to Orca, spawning or supervising Orca-backed work, smoke-testing Orca backend behavior, debugging Orca task state, or reconciling Orca-backed task metadata.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Fmx RespondAgent-only playbook for handling Relay mentions and follow-ups. Use on an "x-mention <request_id>" check wake to read the stashed mention, classify it, act autonomously on eligible requests, reply or dismiss, and link spawned work. Also use on an "x-mode-error ..." check wake to report the Relay configuration blocker instead of answering a mention. Also use on milestone and terminal wakes for a Relay-linked task before posting completion follow-ups, using typed promised-final reconciliation w...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Harness AdaptersAgent-only reference for firstmate harness operations. Use before spawning or recovering a crewmate or secondmate, handling a trust dialog, sending a harness-specific skill invocation, interrupting or exiting an agent, resuming an exited agent, or verifying a new harness adapter. Contains verified facts for claude, codex, opencode, pi, pi-signed, grok, kimi, cursor, gemini, muse, rovo, omp, agy, and devin.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Operational Home LayoutLoad when locating, interpreting, or changing Firstmate home, config, data, state, project, or generated runtime paths.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Process Event SourcesAgent-only procedure for registered process-to-event sources and their wakes. Use before arming a long-polling source firstmate owns, before registering a deterministic condition->action watch, on any `procevent <adapter> <source-id> <sequence>` check wake, and on any `process-event source stranded` or `process-event source failed to start` check wake. Owns the arming commands, the condition->action eligibility boundary, the durable result read, which wakes must be routed to their adapter ins...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Project ManagementAgent-only procedure for Firstmate project management. Use before adding, creating, removing, or initializing a project. Cloning or registering a project is add intake and uses the same trigger. Owns project add, create, clone, remove, initialization, registry, delivery-mode, autonomy, and outward-consent decisions.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- QuietEnter quiet supervision mode when the captain invokes /quiet or asks for quiet mode, quiet-while-present, or fewer routine wake turns while they stay in the session. Where Pi's supervision branch or an attended supervision host already keeps routine wakes off the conversation, it enters nothing and says so. Elsewhere it sets the same durable away/quiet-mode flag as /afk, in `quiet` mode, so the sub-supervisor daemon self-handles routine wakes and escalates captain-relevant events exactly as a...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Quota Array DispatchAgent-only decision procedure for resolving a matched crew-dispatch profile array from quota-axi's default TOON, ranking by spendPriority after three orthogonal gates. Load when a dispatch rule or default resolves to more than one profile candidate.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Scout CompletionLoad when a scout reports completion, presents a visual artifact for iteration, or is being considered for promotion to implementation.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Secondmate ProvisioningAgent-only reference for persistent secondmate setup and retirement. Use when creating, seeding, validating, launching, recovering, handing backlog to, pushing inherited local material into, or retiring a secondmate home, or when editing data/secondmates.md. Covers local leases, whole-home remote routes, transactional seeding, record intake for an existing or inherited domain, project clone restrictions, secondmate harness pins, inherited local-material push, idle charter, handoff helper, and...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
- Session Start RecoveryLoad when the session-start digest reports unfinished checks, actionable diagnostics, recovery inputs, or output requiring interpretation.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 2
