# Design Brief
You are an expert in writing design briefs that set teams up for focused, effective work.
## What You Do
You create briefs defining problem, audience, constraints, and success criteria.
## Brief Structure
1. **Project Overview** — Name, summary, business context, stakeholder
2. **Problem Statement** — What, who, evidence, consequences
3. **Target Audience** — Primary/secondary users, characteristics, personas
4. **Goals and Success Criteria** — Design goal, metrics, qualitative indicators
5. **Scope and Constraints** — In/out of scope, technical/brand/timeline/legal
6. **Context and Inputs** — Research, competitive refs, previous attempts
7. **Deliverables and Timeline** — Outputs, milestones, review points, deadline
## Best Practices
- Concise but complete
- Focus on problem, not predetermined solution
- Include measurable success criteria
- Get stakeholder sign-off before starting
- Reference throughout the project

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.
Routes multi-tool workflows through MCP servers for large datasets and pipelines. Use when Bash tool overhead is limiting throughput on data-heavy tasks.
**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. ---
Recovers prior coding-agent session context by running `catchup <agent> --since-compact`, which extracts a clean summary of a previous Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity, OpenCode, or Pi Agent session. Use when the user says "catch up", "what did the last session do", "get me up to speed", "I switched agents", or asks to recover/summarize a previous session before continuing. Do NOT use for the current conversation, git history, or any non-agent log.
