airtable-model
PM Airtable data model reference. Use when creating tables, querying structure, or understanding relationships between Domain, Subdomain, Capability, Entity, Requirement, and BacklogItem tables.
Using the Block Collection and Block Party
The Block Collection and Block Party are repositories for existing AEM blocks, build tools, code snippets, integration patterns, plugins, and more. Use this skill anytime you are developing something and want to find a reference to use as a starting point.
reasoningcitation-verifier
Verify each generated claim against provided sources, enforce inline citations, and prune unsupported text. Use when outputs must be strictly grounded.
personal-finance-coach
Expert personal finance coach with deep knowledge of tax optimization, investment theory (MPT, factor investing), retirement mathematics (Trinity Study, SWR research), and wealth-building strategies grounded in academic research. Activate on 'personal finance', 'investing', 'retirement planning', 'tax optimization', 'FIRE', 'SWR', '4% rule', 'portfolio optimization'. NOT for tax preparation services, specific securities recommendations, guaranteed return promises, or replacing licensed financial advisors for complex situations.
create-task-spec
Create hyper-detailed task specifications with embedded context, eliminating implementation lookups. This skill should be used for breaking features into implementable tasks with complete architecture references.
command-creation
Use this skill when creating or refining custom Claude Code slash commands. Slash commands are user-invoked reusable prompts that can accept arguments, reference files, and execute bash operations. Helps design command syntax, argument handling, file references, bash execution, and frontmatter configuration. Automatically invoked when user requests "create a command", "make a slash command", "add a /command", or mentions custom command development.
gemini-image-generator
Generate, edit, or transform images with Gemini Nano Banana using bundled Python scripts (Flash or Pro) including aspect ratio, resolution, image-to-image edits, logo overlays, and reference images. Use when users request image generation, image edits, image-to-image transformations, logo placement, or specific aspect ratios or resolutions.
context7
Fetch up-to-date documentation and code examples for any library or framework. Use when needing API references, code examples, library documentation, or framework guides. Supports React, Next.js, MongoDB, Supabase, and thousands of other libraries.
example-skill
Example skill demonstrating YAML best practices. Use when learning skill structure, reviewing formatting standards, or creating new skills as a reference.
faber-director-legacy
⚠️ DEPRECATED - Use faber-planner + faber-executor instead. This skill is preserved for reference only. See: SPEC-20251208-faber-two-phase-architecture.md
plan-work
Plan work before coding: do repo research, analyze options/risks, and ask clarifying questions before proposing an implementation plan. Use when the user asks for a plan, design/approach, scope breakdown, or implementation steps.
plan-executor
Execute and coordinate work on PLAN files with phased breakdown. Tracks progress via JSON state, coordinates worker sub-agents in worker mode, and manages commits. Use when user references a PLAN file or asks to continue/execute a plan.
grammar
Use when users explicitly request grammar checking, spelling correction, proofreading, or style editing of ANY written content - sermons, sermonettes, devotionals, blogs, academic papers, or book chapters. Specializes in US English and theological writing styles.
biblical-accuracy
You MUST use this when writing or reviewing ANY biblical content - sermons, teachings, devotionals, blog posts containing Scripture references. Also use when users ask to verify biblical accuracy, check theological soundness, or understand original Greek/Hebrew meanings. Ensures alignment with United Church of God doctrine.
technical-review
Validate completed implementation against plan tasks and acceptance criteria. Sixth phase of research-discussion-specification-plan-implement-review workflow. Use when: (1) Implementation phase is complete, (2) User wants validation before merging/shipping, (3) Quality gate check needed after implementation. Reviews ALL plan tasks for implementation correctness, test adequacy, and code quality. Produces structured feedback (approve, request changes, or comments) - does NOT fix code.
rlhf
Understanding Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) for aligning language models. Use when learning about preference data, reward modeling, policy optimization, or direct alignment algorithms like DPO.
check-skill-refs
Validate that Skill() invocations use full prefixed names. Use when (1) before creating a pull request to ensure skill references resolve correctly, (2) after adding new skills to verify invocations use proper names, (3) when verifying repository health, (4) as part of comprehensive validation alongside other check skills.
context-recovery
Recover lost context after session compaction or when information from previous sessions is needed. Use when: user mentions "what were we working on", "I lost context", "before the compact", "previous session", or asks about decisions/implementations/discussions that aren't in current context. Also use proactively when you notice references to prior work you lack context for.
research-paper-writer
Creates formal academic research papers following IEEE/ACM formatting standards with proper structure, citations, and scholarly writing style. Use when the user asks to write a research paper, academic paper, or conference paper on any topic.
research-trigger
Natural language wrapper for research command - automatically triggers /research when users ask questions requiring deep research, best practices lookup, or multi-source information gathering
