sast-bandit
Python security vulnerability detection using Bandit SAST with CWE and OWASP mapping. Use when: (1) Scanning Python code for security vulnerabilities and anti-patterns, (2) Identifying hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, command injection, and insecure APIs, (3) Generating security reports with severity classifications for CI/CD pipelines, (4) Providing remediation guidance with security framework references, (5) Enforcing Python security best practices in development workflows.
issue-tree-builder
McKinsey-style issue tree framework for breaking down complex problems into MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) components. Use when users need to decompose strategic questions, structure analysis, create work plans, or prepare for case interviews. Apply hypothesis-driven approach to problem-solving.
research
Use codex web search for technical research, output reports with complete citation links. Focus on key results users care about, minimize irrelevant content.
terminal-print
Print iTerm2 terminal output to HP network printer. Strips ANSI escape codes, wraps in monospace code block, generates PDF via pandoc/xelatex, previews, and prints. Invoke on - print terminal, terminal to printer, print session, lpr output, print command output, terminal PDF.
crack-hashcat
Advanced password recovery and hash cracking tool supporting multiple algorithms and attack modes. Use when: (1) Performing authorized password auditing and security assessments, (2) Recovering passwords from captured hashes in forensic investigations, (3) Testing password policy strength and complexity, (4) Validating encryption implementations, (5) Conducting security research on cryptographic hash functions, (6) Demonstrating password weakness in penetration testing reports.
latex-tables
Creates modern LaTeX tables with tabularray package for fixed-width columns, proper alignment, and clean syntax. Use when creating tables or working with column layouts.
thematic-doc-generator
Generate comprehensive, publication-quality technical manuals with thematic storytelling using multi-agent orchestration. Use when user asks for themed documentation, narrative technical guides, memorable training materials, or mentions themes like Victorian, steampunk, art deco, medieval, or nautical combined with technical topics. Triggers on phrases like "create themed manual", "documentation with storytelling", or requests to make docs "more engaging" or "memorable".
firecrawl-research
This skill should be used when the user requests to research topics using FireCrawl, enrich notes with web sources, search and scrape information, or write scientific/academic papers. It extracts research topics from markdown files, creates research documents with scraped sources, generates BibTeX bibliographies from research results, and provides Pandoc/MyST templates for academic writing with citation management.
notion
Store and manage competitor research results in a Notion database
fix-blog-images
Fix and optimize images in uncommitted blog posts. Use when preparing blog posts for publication, fixing broken image paths, renaming generic image names (image.png), moving images to proper /images/blog/ directory, improving alt text, or checking image references before committing. Trigger on "fix blog images", "check images", "prepare post for publish", or after pasting screenshots into markdown.
microsim-p5
Create an interactive educational MicroSim using the p5.js JavaScript library with distinct regions for drawing and interactive controls. Each MicroSim is a directory located in the /docs/sims folder. It has a main.html file that references the javascript code and the main.html can be referenced as an iframe from the index.md. The metadata.json contains Dublin core metadata about the MicroSim.
claude-command-authoring
Creates custom slash commands for Claude Code with proper syntax, frontmatter, arguments, bash execution, and file references. Use when building slash commands, creating custom Claude Code commands, setting up team workflows, or when users mention slash commands, command files, or .md command creation.
taste-eval
Evaluate creative work against explicit taste preferences. Use when drafting to align with project aesthetics, when reviewing to surface preference conflicts, or when generating voting options to reflect diverse tastes.
reference-generator
This skill generates curated, verified reference lists for textbooks with level-appropriate resources (10 for junior-high, 20 for senior-high, 30 for college, 40 for graduate). References are formatted with links, publication details, and relevance descriptions. Use this skill when working with intelligent textbooks that need academic references, either book-level or chapter-level.
council-advice
Multi-model AI council for actionable project advice. Leverages Gemini 3 Flash and GPT-5.2 skills in parallel, then synthesizes through an Opus Judge for stage-appropriate, non-overkill recommendations. Use when seeking architectural guidance, code review synthesis, or implementation planning.

idea-lab
Timeboxed divergent ideation that outputs ranked options plus day-one experiments.
context7
Up-to-date library documentation retrieval using Context7 MCP tools. Process THINK → RESOLVE → FETCH → APPLY. Use when fetching library docs, resolving package names to IDs, getting implementation guides, exploring API references. Provides package resolution strategy, trust score evaluation, token scaling (3K-20K), topic selection patterns.
design-guide
Ensures modern, professional UI design across SwiftUI, Android, and web platforms. Use when building ANY user interface components including buttons, forms, cards, layouts, navigation, or complete screens.
