Claude Skills by melodic-software

Reach Anthropic's first-party playground capability in one step: verify the upstream playground plugin is installed, invoke its skill for interactive single-file HTML explorers (controls beside a live preview, output is a prompt you paste back), or emit the exact install commands when it is absent. Use when: 'make me a playground', 'interactive explorer for X', 'let me tweak parameters and see the result', 'sliders to balance this', 'tune this visually', 'explore this parameter space', 'insta...

Live E2E browser automation via Microsoft's @playwright/cli: named sessions, accessibility-ref snapshots, click/fill by ref, screenshots, console and network capture, network mocking, tracing, video, and auth state, with artifacts written to disk so only paths enter context (far fewer tokens than Playwright MCP). Use when: 'E2E test', 'browser automation', 'take a screenshot', 'test the UI flow', 'click element', 'fill form', 'mock network', 'record a video', 'check console errors', 'playwrig...

Automate browser interactions, test web pages and work with Playwright tests.

Verify the playwright plugin's runtime prerequisites: the playwright-cli binary and a resolvable browser for this machine. Use when: 'set up playwright', 'configure playwright', 'is playwright working', 'install playwright-cli', a browser flow reports the CLI is missing, or before a first E2E run. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (resolve what check found; apply install-cli performs the global CLI install). Re-runnable and safe.

Post-use behavioral audit of a Claude Code plugin component, a skill, agent, hook, command, or config, after using or setting it up, ending in a work item emitted to the plugin's maintainers. Use when vetting, reviewing, stress-testing, or hardening a plugin component, when you say 'audit this plugin/skill/hook', 'review this plugin component', 'vet this plugin', 'is this plugin well-designed', 'is this hook well-designed', 'find bugs/gaps in this plugin', 'find gaps in this plugin', right af...

Growable stub. When the audited component is a skill, also run `skill-quality:check` (its static contract gate) when installed, and lean on its findings; absent, this file is the manual fallback.

Verify the plugin-quality plugin's prerequisites on this machine: gh presence and the ACTING account, the context-guard snapshot seam, config layers and the effective sink with per-layer provenance, and optionally write the tracked .claude/plugin-quality.md config. Use when: 'set up plugin-quality', 'which sink will audits use', 'is the audit context-gate live', before a first audit in a repo, or after changing config layers. Actions: check (read-only), apply (writes ONLY the tracked config f...

Verify the powershell-format hook's runtime prerequisites and configuration for this repository. Use when: 'set up powershell-format', 'configure powershell-format', 'is powershell-format working', PowerShell formatting or linting silently isn't happening, or the hook reported a missing prerequisite. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (resolve what check found). Re-runnable and safe.

Builds throwaway UI variations, several radically different visual layouts on one route, switchable from a floating control bar, to answer 'what should this look like' before committing to a design. Use when: 'mock up a UI', 'try a few designs', 'what should this page look like', 'show me options for this dashboard', 'try a different layout for the settings screen', 'prototype this screen', 'explore design options'. Runs on your real stack by default (real header, real data, real density) or ...

Builds a throwaway interactive terminal app to pressure-test business logic, a state machine, a data model, or an API surface before committing to it. Use when: 'does this state machine handle X then Y', 'sanity-check this data model', 'feel out the API', 'prototype this logic', 'does this reducer handle the edge case', 'is this data shape right'. Any question answered by driving state by hand and watching it change. Produces a portable pure logic module (liftable into production) behind a di...

Audit tracked markdown for prose restating content an external source owns without a pointer or a stamped record, and convert copies into links, quoted citations, or four-part stamped records. Breadcrumb-first: citations in or near a passage are the first confirm targets; budgeted search runs only when no breadcrumb exists. Findings carry evidence-gated tiers (fingerprint-confirmed, source-fetched-similar, llm-suspected, source-not-identified); only fingerprint-confirmed copies are fix-eligib...

Set up and maintain this repository's provenance configuration: `.claude/provenance.json` across the config cascade's three layers. Manages the categorical exclusions (including the eval-fixture tree, which is a config entry by design and never a rule in a script), the per-candidate and corpus fetch budgets, the separation-rule constants, the stamp expiry window, the accuracy dials for nomination passes and judge sampling, and the fix-eligibility gates. Enables the off-by-default trigger-less...

Verify the rate-limit-guard plugin's wiring on this machine: jq, the installed statusline shim, statusline wiring (including legacy version-pinned plugin-cache paths), tee freshness, and the StopFailure hook. Print the exact statusline edit for the operator to apply, and install the statusline shim. Use when: 'set up rate-limit-guard', 'is the rate-limit tee working', 'wire the rate-limit statusline', the tee file is stale, or a consuming loop lane reports guard mode unknown. Actions: check (...

Apply a prior /repo-fleet-hygiene:audit action-plan JSON behind one fleet confirmation: default dry-run re-derives branch/worktree tips and prints the ordered batch; --apply mutates only after interactive confirmation or --yes. Owns batched merged-local-branch deletion with fail-closed OID refresh; cleans merged/prunable/missing worktrees in plan order (branches before worktrees). Use when: 'apply fleet plan', 'execute fleet cleanup', 'batch delete merged branches', 'one confirmation for flee...

Coordinate Git/GitHub hygiene across a cross-repository fleet: discover canonical repositories, collect and roll up cross-repository evidence (including merged remote-tracking heads still on origin), and hand an action plan to repo-hygiene/source-control, which own per-repository cleanup. The current collector is read-only and emits detailed exact handoffs; it never deletes, prunes, repairs, fetches, checks out, or rewrites. Use when: 'audit repositories', 'repo fleet hygiene', 'stale branche...

Verify and configure repo-fleet-hygiene for a consumer project. check inspects the optional .claude/repo-fleet-hygiene.conf read-only (presence, parse validity, path resolution); apply creates or updates it — adding bounded fleet roots, exact repositories, and remote-keyed canonical checkout overrides — preserving unrelated entries. Use when: 'set up repo fleet audit', 'is repo-fleet-hygiene configured', 'configure fleet roots', 'canonical repo override', 'dotfiles-manager checkout'. Re-runna...

Repo hygiene action-router: scan (inventory), caches, build, git (prune/branch audit), stash (stash audit/triage), tree (destructive fresh-pull reset), tree-batch (multi-repo tree reset with skip-list + dirty guard), all, and fleet batch forms of the selective tiers (caches-batch / build-batch / git-batch / all-batch over many repos behind one gate). Bare invocation detects intent from conversation or shows a menu. Dry-run-first; destructive actions require explicit confirmation. Use when: 'c...

Verify repo-hygiene's external prerequisites on this machine — `git`, which the scan, git, stash, and tree tiers and the tracked-file guarantee all rest on, and the optional `ghq` the fleet batch actions enumerate repositories from — and report the effective destructive-guard toggle and the scope it actually applies at. Use when: 'set up repo-hygiene', 'configure repo-hygiene', 'is repo-hygiene working', 'is the destructive guard on', 'why did tree-batch find no repos', or before a first clea...

CI code-review lane for a GitHub pull request. High-signal correctness and maintainability findings only, scoped out of security when a security lane exists. Use when: 'CI code review', 'claude-review lane', '/review:code-review', or a reusable workflow invokes the org code-review plugin command.

Fan out review across many finding-producing surfaces at once, this plugin's reviewer agents, the project's own per-concern review criteria docs, and orchestrator review plugins, then normalize the heterogeneous outputs into one severity-ranked, deduplicated report persisted to disk. Use when: 'fan out review', 'breadth review', 'run all reviewers', 'review from every angle', 'review this from all sides', or 'fix the review findings' (the fix action applies the merged set of persisted findings).

Single-lens review checkpoint between 'code works' and 'code is ready'. Routes to self, code, architecture, security, spec, close-out, downstream, pr, criteria, slice, or restatement mode and delegates to the matching reviewer. Use when the user says 'review this', 'self-review', 'quality gate', 'code review', 'architecture review', 'security review', 'does this match the spec/issue/plan', or 'close-out review' / 'review the container' for a shipped spec container, or after implementation com...

CI security-review lane for a GitHub pull request. Logic, trust-boundary, and Actions security findings static analysis misses. Use when: 'CI security review', 'claude-security-review lane', '/review:security-review', or a reusable workflow invokes the org security-review plugin command.

Configure the review plugin for this repository: bootstrap the consumer's standards index per the standards convention — the index review criteria resolve through — persisting docs/standards/ and, on relocation, .claude/standards.yaml. Use when: 'set up review', 'configure the review plugin', 'review setup', 'set up standards', 'bootstrap the standards index', or a review skill reports a missing or version-skewed standards index. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (boots...

Verify the ruff-format hook's runtime prerequisites and configuration for this repository. Use when: 'set up ruff-format', 'configure ruff-format', 'is ruff-format working', formatting silently isn't happening, or the hook reported a missing prerequisite. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (resolve what check found). Re-runnable and safe.

Get a session to a clean stopping point before the machine may go away. Everything durable, everything linked, nothing stranded on local disk. Sweep every repo and worktree touched for uncommitted, unpushed, or PR-less work, push it durable, put follow-ups and context in PR/issue bodies a cold agent could resume from, prune only what is provably safe, then give a free-and-clear verdict. Use when: 'clean stop', 'get to a clean stopping point', 'safe to shut down', 'wrap up before I lose this m...

Delegate the task to a fresh background agent that continues it NOW. Produce a save-point, then launch a detached claude --bg session seeded with the resume prompt. Use when: 'continue in the background', 'continue this in the background', 'keep working in the background', 'delegate to a background agent', or the user is going AFK and explicitly wants the work to keep moving. Launches only on the user's explicit request, never self-elected.

Recover a lost handoff after `/clear`. Find the save-point file or resume prompt when the resume prompt was written but never copied and the fresh session has zero context. Read-only detection ladder: known-location glob of `<memory_dir>/handoffs/`, then a bounded, recency-ranked scan of transcripts (excluding the current session's own file) for the handoff directive and dashed-rail markers, then a confirm-before-resume gate. Use when: 'find my handoff', 'recover the handoff', 'I lost the res...

Write a mid-session save-point for /clear-and-resume, a durable handoff file (default) or a copy-paste resume prompt when follow-ups are small. Use when: 'handoff', 'save state', 'checkpoint this', 'pause', 'come back later', the user reports the session is heavy, a context-measuring mechanism says to fork, or your own responses are visibly drifting, repeating, or looping. Never on your own estimate of the remaining window, a budget reading is not a decay signal. For delegating the continuati...

Recover and continue after an interruption, rate limit, crash, disconnect, or gap, or when live off-thread work looks stalled and you are asked to check on it. Inventory off-thread work, inspect its REAL output, act only on evidence (resume / rerun / kill-and-restart), then continue the main task where it stood. Use when: 'keep going', 'continue', 'pick up where you left off', 'resume', 'you got cut off', 'we got interrupted', 'carry on', 'what were you doing', 'check the monitor', 'stop star...

Arm the CURRENT session for an orchestration-heavy task by loading seven proactive-orchestration imperatives (delegate/fan-out, spec-every-spawn, fresh-context verify, run-workers-well, nested subagents, surface drift, calibrate-to-conditions) as active standing instructions; optionally export them as a paste-ready brief for a spawned worker or fresh session. Use when: 'orchestrate', 'orchestration brief', 'prime this session', 'arm for orchestration', 'about to do heavy delegation', 'worker ...

Read-only session orientation from durable + off-thread state, synthesize where we stand, what we are doing, and why, from the ledger files, handoff save-points, workflow checklists, running-retro ledgers, open PRs and work-items, and git state, not just the conversation. Complements the built-in /recap (conversation-only, auto-fires) by adding the durable state recap never sees. Use when: 'where were we', 'catch me up', 'orient me', 'get my bearings', 'what's the state', 'brief me', 'situati...

Verify a session's working assumptions are still true before building on them. Referenced PRs/issues/branches still in the state a handoff or plan claims, base-branch drift, cited skills/plugins that were renamed or version-drifted, and memory-tier files whose subjects have since landed. Reports what drifted and re-anchors; does not resume the work. Use when: 'reanchor', 're-anchor', 'is this still current', 'verify my assumptions', 'has main moved since', 'are these premises still valid', 'i...

Retire finished off-thread work and reconcile this session's task ledger with reality, the prune-and-reconcile counterpart to keep-going's resume. Inventory the off-thread work this session spawned, inspect each item's REAL state, retire the genuinely finished, close the ledger items proven done, and report sibling-session liveness read-only. Auto-settles the provably-finished; GATES any kill of still-running work. Use when: 'reconcile the session', 'retire finished work', 'square up the task...

Run a structured session retrospective: extract transcript metrics, assess quality across five dimensions, check feedback-memory regressions, and codify learnings durably. Use when: 'retro', 'retrospective', 'what did we learn', 'how did I do', 'codify learnings', 'show trends', or at end of session; modes: session (default), codify, trends, quick.

Take an in-flight retrospective checkpoint mid-session: a subagent analyzes the transcript so far, classifies each finding by category and resolution route, and appends to a cumulative running ledger. Capture and route only, never auto-applied. Live counterpart to /session-flow:retro (the end-of-session scoring + codification pass). An `arm` action instead launches a detached observer that runs the checkpoint autonomously after the session ends. Use when: 'running retro', 'live retro', 'in-fl...

Verify the session-flow observer's runtime prerequisites and configuration for this machine. Use when: 'set up session-flow', 'configure the observer', 'is the observer working', the SessionStart observer isn't arming, or the observer hook reported a missing prerequisite. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (resolve what check found). Re-runnable and safe; only the observer substrate has prerequisites, the other thirteen skills are zero-config.

Lay out which skills fit this moment as a decidable menu, a ranked shortlist per bucket plus the complete remainder by name, so nothing is hidden and the human chooses. Buckets: Now, Next, Skipped upstream (artifact-grounded), Later (the in-domain remainder, named-only), and a rotating Spotlight of three. Never omits an option because it judges the step already done or unnecessary; that judgment becomes an annotation and may affect rank, never presence. Resolves candidates from the full insta...

Navigate a staged development workflow (explore → research → plan → implement → test → review → verify → retro), suggest the next stage, and route the end-of-phase continuation mechanism (continue / clear / handoff / background / clean-stop / compact). Use when: 'workflow', 'what step am I on', 'what comes next', 'pre-pr sequence', 'wrap up', 'how should I continue', 'clear or compact', at session start, at a phase boundary, or whenever the next step is unclear. Routes the stage decision to e...

Skill-authoring QA for Claude Code skills. Use when: 'check this skill', 'skill quality', 'lint my skill', 'is this SKILL.md valid', 'validate skill frontmatter', 'check skill before publishing', 'validate evals.json', 'shared listing budget', 'is the skill listing overflowing', or before shipping a skill or plugin. Actions: `check [<skill-name>]` runs a twenty-five-check static contract gate (frontmatter, explicit invocation mode, description/verb-contract polarity, per-skill listing-entry c...

Verify where this repository's skills live for skill-quality, the resolved skills_root, and explain how to change the personal skills_root option through Claude Code. Use when: 'set up skill-quality', 'configure skill-quality', or the checker reports a missing skills directory. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (route a skills_root change once you've chosen a location). Re-runnable and safe.

Run a co-writing session and generate titles and high-volume options with Pat Pattison's methods, the No-Free-Zone co-write protocol and feedback discipline, the Title Game (chained vowel-cascade title generation), title generation from an idea, and high-volume brainstorm dumps for ONE line or ONE section. Use when: 'co-write tonight', 'co-write rules', 'no-free-zone', 'Title Game', '10 titles fast', 'title candidates for X', 'give me 30 options for this line', 'brainstorm the whole chorus'. ...

Demo review at any completion stage, full-draft diagnosis against the five compositional elements and stable/unstable analysis, the pre-lock line/section audit checklist (tools, not gates), labeled variations across six axes, and critique-driven rewrite. Use when: 'what's wrong with my song', 'review my draft', 'is this any good', 'review this demo', 'audit this line before I lock it', 'give me 5 versions of line 3', 'rewrite thi...

Generate and diagnose metaphor with Pat Pattison's methods, the three types (expressed identity, qualifying, verbal), the three expressed-identity forms, collision drills (noun×verb, noun×noun, adjective×noun), playing in keys (fundamental → diatonic family → collisions), the two metaphor-finder questions, participles, transitive vs intransitive, simile as focus control, and grounded-metaphor diagnosis. Use when: 'I need a metaphor for X', 'generate metaphor options', 'metaphor or simile here...

Scan lines and make structure serve meaning with Pat Pattison's methods. Meter (scansion, Paradigms I/II/III, Pentad, Goldilocks, the 'into' rule, In Memoriam quatrain, pitch-stress), prosody (motion-emotion, greedy spots, tone-of-voice, three phrasing types), section stability (stable/unstable scan), and lyric-melody alignment. Use when: 'scan this line', 'can this be common meter', 'is this verse stable or unstable', 'my words don't fit the music', 'greedy spot in line 2', 'set lyrics to th...

Generate raw sensory material with Pat Pattison's methods. Object writing (sense-bound, timed dives, the pivot chain, the seven-channel sense inventory, Rusty's-collar/Kami-kazi), an agent that performs the write itself, cliche taxonomy + redemption, and point of view (camera distance, pronoun consistency). Use when: 'object writing', 'you do the object writing', 'make this less abstract', 'show don't tell', '90-second writing prompt', 'this line sounds cliched', 'who is speaking in this lyri...

Build a songwriting practice habit with Pat Pattison's curriculum, the daily object-writing/craft routine and numbered exercises drawn from all four books (Essential Guide to Lyric Form and Structure structural exercises, Songwriting Without Boundaries 56-day curriculum, Essential Guide to Rhyming worksheets). Use when: 'daily practice plan', 'build a writing habit', 'give me a 90-second writing prompt', 'run me a numbered exercise', 'exercise 4.6', 'daily craft prompt'. For a one-off object-...

Find and stress-test rhymes with Pat Pattison's discipline. Identity check, stability-tier walk, vowel triangle, song-world vocabulary, mosaic/multi-word rhyme, cliche scan. Internal generation is primary (8-15 labeled candidates, never a single winner); the Datamuse API supplements for breadth/syllables/semantic field. Use when: 'rhyme this', 'find rhymes for X', 'why does this rhyme feel weak', 'mosaic rhyme', 'rhyme this proper noun', 'rhyme like Eminem', 'syllable count of X', 'rhyme work...

Configure the songwriting plugin for this repository: inventory or scaffold the project-level prompt-template overrides under songwriting/templates/pat-pattison/, and confirm where craft artifacts land. Use when: 'set up songwriting', 'configure songwriting', 'songwriting setup', 'customize a songwriting template', 'override the co-write prompt', or a craft skill reports you want to tune its bundled prompt. Actions: check (read-only inventory, default) | apply (scaffold or remove overrides). ...

Build and balance song structure with Pat Pattison's methods. Section identification (verse/chorus/bridge/refrain), forms (AABA, verse/chorus, verse/refrain), the candy-bar rewrite, hook placement and hot spots, repetition/repainting (You-I-We, Past-Present-Future, hidden questions/commands), verse development and the box model, bridge writing, and Essential Guide to Lyric Form and Structure worked examples. Use when: 'is this verse/chorus or AABA', 'where should the title go', 'my chorus doe...

Generate and refine Suno AI music prompts (v5.5). Style prompts, tagged lyrics, genre templates, troubleshooting, tips, features, and genre research via an action router.
