Claude Skills by srid

Run /be's review gauntlet SERIALLY — /lens-debate (lowy ⇄ hickey), then /codex-debate, then /simplify, then code-police, each editing and committing on the live branch in turn. Use from /be §4, or when the user asks to "run the review gauntlet". Requires Claude Code's Skill tool.

Modern, interactive alternative to `/do` — clarify intent up front, then take a task end-to-end with a serial AI review gauntlet (lens debate (lowy ⇄ hickey) → codex debate → simplify → code-police, each editing the branch in turn) → CI → evidence. ONLY invoke when the user explicitly types `/be` or `$be`; never auto-select from a natural-language request.

Reference for the `odu` runner — how to invoke a full pipeline, a single recipe, or a platform-pinned node, and how to attach to a live run, from a project whose CI odu runs. Trigger when the user asks to "run CI", "run the pipeline", "re-run a check", to run named lanes or recipes (e.g. "run fmt and nix", "just the e2e lane", bare selectors like `fmt`/`nix`/`e2e`), or names a recipe by `<recipe>@<platform>`. This skill — not a repo's local `just ci` / `just <recipe>` — is how an odu-run requ...

Review code for quality, simplicity, and common mistakes before declaring work complete.

Run an automated codex⇄Claude debate to consensus — no round cap, no deadlock exit. Two explicit subcommands. `review` (also the bare/back-compat default) — codex (reviewer) critiques the current diff and a Claude subagent (author) fixes/disputes, looping until they agree. `answer` — Claude and codex each answer a freeform prompt in parallel, then cross-check until they agree, and a unified answer is returned. Use when the user types `/codex-debate`, asks to "have codex review this", "run the...

Do a task end-to-end — implement, PR, CI loop, ship. ONLY invoke when the user explicitly types `/do` or `$do`; never auto-select from a natural-language request, even one that sounds like an end-to-end task.

Reference for the dpella/mcp Haskell library — types, handler shape, transports, and the conventions Emanote uses. Load this before adding MCP resources/tools/subscriptions so you don't re-discover the API by WebFetch.

Iteratively study and apply elegant coding patterns. Each iteration - understand the code, research what simple and elegant code looks like, apply learnings, verify with CI. Use as a standalone refactoring pass or when the user asks to make code more elegant, simple, or idiomatic.

Audit code for correctness and rigor — logic errors, silent error swallowing, wishful thinking, and unjustified fallbacks. This is not a style review; it's a logic review. Use when you want a focused correctness audit separate from the full code-police pass.

Write engaging PR titles and descriptions for any forge (GitHub today; Bitbucket planned). Use when creating or updating PRs. Leads with narrative paragraphs and reaches for lists, tables, and diagrams when content is genuinely structured.

Evaluate code (especially LLM-generated) for structural simplicity using Rich Hickey's "Simple Made Easy" framework. Use this skill whenever reviewing a PR, diff, or code snippet for accidental complexity — particularly when the code was generated by an AI coding assistant and line-by-line review isn't feasible. Also use when the user asks about complecting, simplicity vs. easiness, structural coupling, or concept deduplication. Trigger on phrases like "is this simple", "does this complect", ...

Drive one AI agent from another through kolu's terminals: spawn a Claude Code / Codex / opencode session in a PTY, prompt it, watch the screen for its reply, read it, and prompt again — a create→send→snapshot loop run with the `kaval-tui` CLI directly (no MCP). `kaval-tui` writes input and reads scrollback; `pulam-tui` adds a precise agent-state done-signal when you drive hooked terminals. Triggers on "drive another agent", "send a prompt to a terminal agent", "have one agent prompt another",...

Run a structural-review debate between two lenses — lowy (volatility-based decomposition) and hickey (structural simplicity) — on the current diff. Each reviews independently, then they cross-examine every finding until they agree per-finding, and the agreed fixes are applied. Use when the user types `/lens-debate`, or asks to "have lowy and hickey review this", "run the lens debate", "debate this diff structurally", or "argue the structure of this PR until the lenses agree".

Evaluate architecture and module boundaries for volatility-based decomposition using Juval Lowy's framework (from "Righting Software", building on Parnas 1972). Use when reviewing module splits, service boundaries, new abstractions, or any decomposition decision. Trigger on phrases like "where should this boundary be", "how to split this", "module boundaries", "encapsulate change", "volatility", or references to Lowy, Parnas, or "Righting Software". Complements /hickey (interleaved concerns) ...

chrome-devtools-mcp launcher — a single bash script that resolves Playwright's bundled Chrome-for-Testing and Node.js directly through Nix. See repo README for usage, override mechanisms, and version compatibility.

Use this when setting up Nix for a development project (devShell + package build) and you care about `nix develop` being fast. Covers the zero-inputs flake.nix + npins + default.nix/shell.nix layout, sub-flakes for non-user-facing Nix, and language-specific recommendations.

Use this when working on a Haskell project with Nix. Covers haskell-flake setup, adding/overriding dependencies, package settings, and devShell configuration.

Conventions for writing justfile recipes in Nix-based projects.

Use this when adding Nix-based local runs for an existing Playwright e2e suite. Provides a self-contained `tests/shell.nix` that uses `nixpkgs-latest` for `playwright-driver.browsers`, plus a justfile entry — works on NixOS where `npx playwright install --with-deps` cannot.

odu MCP server launcher — drive CI from a coding agent. `bin/serve` resolves odu via Nix and runs `odu mcp` in the cwd. See the repo README for the tools/resources and override knobs.

Adversarial "perfection" review — hold a change to an *ideal* bar, not just a correct one, assuming eternal time, unlimited energy, and no ship pressure. Use when the user asks to review "for perfection", to make a defect "impossible to express", or to hunt where a defect "relocates" across review rounds. Grounds every claim in the diff, fans out adversarial verifiers via Workflow, and reports residual surfaces with a structural fix for each. ONLY invoke when the user explicitly asks for a pe...

Provision and drive a `pu` box — an Incus container used as a clean Linux host for CI, builds, and evidence capture. Use when you need to run something on a fresh remote box instead of the user's machine: `nix run` a build, run CI against a real host, capture screenshots/video off-machine, or reproduce on a pristine environment. Covers create/connect/scp/destroy, running remote commands, copying artifacts back, and the no-egress failure mode. Triggers on "pu box", "spin up a box", "run this o...

Iterative measurement-driven improvement loop. Measure, profile, mutate, re-measure, commit. Works for performance, bundle size, complexity, test coverage — anything quantifiable. Use when the user wants to systematically improve a metric through repeated cycles of profiling and targeted changes.

How a downstream app consumes the shared @kolu/surface stack (@kolu/surface · surface-app · surface-nix-host · surface-mcp) — declaring a typed reactive surface, serving it, consuming it (SolidJS hooks or a CLI), and mirroring a remote surface over ssh. Grounded in the real consumers: kolu, pulam-web, drishti, odu, and the TUIs. Load when wiring a surface server/client/mirror, or reaching for getHostSession / a link / the `.use()` hooks. CHANGING the framework is gated separately — `.claude/r...

Enter talk mode — conversation and research, no repo changes. ONLY invoke when the user explicitly types `/talk` or `$talk`; never auto-select from a natural-language question or design discussion.
