<objective>
Run the APEX new-skill onboarding workflow — walk the contributor through scope intake, optional skill-creator drafting, sibling-graph survey, repo fan-out, and eval scaffold.
</objective>
<execution_context>
@~/.claude/apex-steering/workflows/new-skill.md
</execution_context>
<process>
Follow the new-skill workflow end-to-end. Detect mode from `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` — if it exists this is retrofit (skip Phase 2), otherwise greenfield. Use the steering-workflow-creator skill as the spec for conventions and the skill-creator skill for Phase 2 drafting in greenfield mode. Phases: 1) scope intake and mode detection, 2) draft via skill-creator (greenfield only), 3) survey sibling graph, 4) fan out repo edits, 5) scaffold evals, apply fan-out, open PR.

Adversarial multi-agent planning skill. Self-orchestrates 5 hostile category members (unspecified-low, unspecified-high, deep, ultrabrain, artistry) via team-mode for ruthless cross-critique debate, distills only the defensible insights, then MANDATORILY hands the distilled insight bundle to the `plan` agent for executable plan formalization. Use when planning needs maximum rigor and surfacing of weak assumptions, blind spots, and over-engineering. Triggers: 'hyperplan', 'hpp', '/hyperplan', ...
Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.
**Complete production-ready guide for Google Gemini embeddings API** This skill provides comprehensive coverage of the `gemini-embedding-001` model for generating text embeddings, including SDK usage, REST API patterns, batch processing, RAG integration with Cloudflare Vectorize, and advanced use cases like semantic search and document clustering. ---
Use when a repo needs CodeGraph plus ast-grep for Codex MCP setup, exploration, impact analysis, structural search, or safe refactor planning.
Interview, source-challenge, verify, save, and ADR-gate fuzzy coding requests into Codex-ready implementation specs. Use when a feature, bugfix, refactor, migration, repo-wide change, or architecture task needs user-verified requirements, source-backed decisions, durable architecture decisions, acceptance criteria, validation commands, rollout notes, saved spec/ADR files, and a Codex execution prompt. Do not use when already fully specified or when the user wants direct implementation now.
