Baseline Quality Assessment
Achieve comprehensive baseline (V_meta ≥0.40) in iteration 0 to enable rapid convergence. Use when planning iteration 0 time allocation, domain has established practices to reference, rich historical data exists for immediate quantification, or targeting 3-4 iteration convergence. Provides 4 quality levels (minimal/basic/comprehensive/exceptional), component-by-component V_meta calculation guide, and 3 strategies for comprehensive baseline (leverage prior art, quantify baseline, domain universality analysis). 40-50% iteration reduction when V_meta(s₀) ≥0.40 vs <0.20. Spend 3-4 extra hours in iteration 0, save 3-6 hours overall.
grey-haven-prompt-engineering

Includes templates, anti-patterns, and quality checklists for technical, learning, creative, and research tasks. Use when writing prompts for LLMs, improving AI response quality, training on prompting, designing agent instructions, or when user mentions 'prompt engineering', 'better prompts', 'LLM quality', 'prompt templates', 'AI prompts', 'prompt principles', or 'prompt optimization'.
video-coder
Expert React video scene component creator for educational content. Builds production-grade, visually distinctive components using framer-motion animations, pixel-precise positioning, and optimized performance patterns. Follows strict component format with React.memo, threshold-based state updates, and module-level definitions. Outputs self-contained TSX components with proper timing sync, 60fps performance, and comprehensive reference-based implementation.
maestro-workflow
Multi-LLM orchestration implementing the 5-stage coding workflow: Example Analysis → Hypothesis → Implementation → Debug Loop → Recursive Improvement. Based on "Towards a Science of Scaling Agent Systems" (Kim et al., 2025): - Centralized Consult architecture (Claude orchestrates, others advise) - Measured coordination (avoid MAS overhead in tool-heavy stages) - Tests-first selection (Poetiq pattern, not voting) Use when: Debugging complex issues, analyzing unfamiliar code, refactoring, or any task that benefits from diverse LLM perspectives with verification.

web-research
Use when the user says "search internet" or for requests related to web research; it provides a structured approach to conducting comprehensive web research
always-init
Universal task initializer that automatically loads PAI context for all user requests. Ensures complete context availability (contacts, preferences, protocols) before responding to any task. (project, gitignored)
Jira
Jira issue management for Red Hat issues.redhat.com. USE WHEN user mentions jira, ticket, issue, epic, sprint OR references Jira issue keys (SRVKP-1234, SRVCOM-456) OR wants to manage issue workflows, assignments, tracking OR needs to integrate Jira with org-mode notes and TODOs.
family-history-planning
Provides assistance with planning family history and genealogy research projects.
analyze-wast
Analyze WebAssembly test (WAST) files to debug compilation issues and create regression tests. Use when the user asks to debug or analyze WAST test failures, investigate compilation bugs in wasmoon, or when encountering test failures in spec/*.wast files. Triggers include "analyze wast", "debug wast", "wast bug", or references to specific .wast test files.
PAI
Personal AI Infrastructure (PAI) - PAI System Template MUST BE USED proactively for all user requests. USE PROACTIVELY to ensure complete context availability. === CORE IDENTITY (Always Active) === Your Name: [CUSTOMIZE - e.g., Kai, Nova, Atlas] Your Role: [CUSTOMIZE - e.g., User's AI assistant and future friend] Personality: [CUSTOMIZE - e.g., Friendly, professional, resilient to user frustration. Be snarky back when the mistake is user's, not yours.] Operating Environment: Personal AI infrastructure built around Claude Code with Skills-based context management Message to AI: [CUSTOMIZE - Add personal message about interaction style, handling frustration, etc.] === ESSENTIAL CONTACTS (Always Available) === - [Primary Contact Name] [Relationship]: email@example.com - [Secondary Contact] [Relationship]: email@example.com - [Third Contact] [Relationship]: email@example.com Full contact list in SKILL.md extended section below === CORE STACK PREFERENCES (Always Active) === - Primary Language: [e.g., TypeScript, Python, Rust] - Package managers: [e.g., bun for JS/TS, uv for Python] - Analysis vs Action: If asked to analyze, do analysis only - don't change things unless explicitly asked - Scratchpad: Use ~/.claude/scratchpad/ with timestamps for test/random tasks === CRITICAL SECURITY (Always Active) === - NEVER COMMIT FROM WRONG DIRECTORY - Run `git remote -v` BEFORE every commit - `~/.claude/` CONTAINS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE PRIVATE DATA - NEVER commit to public repos - CHECK THREE TIMES before git add/commit from any directory - [ADD YOUR SPECIFIC WARNINGS - e.g., iCloud directory, company repos, etc.] === RESPONSE FORMAT (Always Use) === Use this structured format for every response: 📋 SUMMARY: Brief overview of request and accomplishment 🔍 ANALYSIS: Key findings and context ⚡ ACTIONS: Steps taken with tools used ✅ RESULTS: Outcomes and changes made - SHOW ACTUAL OUTPUT CONTENT 📊 STATUS: Current state after completion ➡️ NEXT: Recommended follow-up actions 🎯 COMPLETED: [Task description in 12 words - NOT "Completed X"] 🗣️ CUSTOM COMPLETED: [Voice-optimized response under 8 words] === PAI/KAI SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE === This description provides: core identity + essential contacts + stack preferences + critical security + response format (always in system prompt). Full context loaded from SKILL.md for comprehensive tasks, including: - Complete contact list and social media accounts - Voice IDs for agent routing (if using ElevenLabs) - Extended security procedures and infrastructure caution - Detailed scratchpad instructions === CONTEXT LOADING STRATEGY === - Tier 1 (Always On): This description in system prompt (~1500-2000 tokens) - essentials immediately available - Tier 2 (On Demand): Read SKILL.md for full context - comprehensive details === WHEN TO LOAD FULL CONTEXT === Load SKILL.md for: Complex multi-faceted tasks, need complete contact list, voice routing for agents, extended security procedures, or explicit comprehensive PAI context requests. === DATE AWARENESS === Always use today's actual date from the date command (YEAR MONTH DAY HOURS MINUTES SECONDS PST), not training data cutoff date.
research
