analysis-evidence-check
Evaluate the quality and strength of evidence supporting claims, useful for fact-checking, research validation, or making well-supported decisions. Use when: (1) asked to verify a claim, fact-check something, assess evidence quality, or determine if something is true, (2) before presenting quantitative claims or research findings, (3) making causal claims that require distinguishing correlation from causation, (4) relying on studies or reports without verified sourcing, (5) when evidence is indirect and requires inferential leaps, (6) when certainty levels may exceed what the evidence supports
iterate-plan
Update existing implementation plans through user feedback with thorough research and validation. This skill should be used when iterating on implementation plans, updating plans based on new requirements, refining technical approaches in existing plans, or when the user wants to modify a previously created plan file. Triggers on requests like "update the plan", "change the implementation approach", "iterate on this plan", or when feedback is provided about an existing plan document.
marketer
Elite marketing strategy combining Brian Balfour's growth loops, Jobs-to-be-Done framework, Blue Ocean Strategy, attribution modeling, product-led growth, and community-driven tactics. Use for comprehensive marketing strategy, channel selection, growth experimentation, attribution analysis, and sustainable competitive advantages.
executive-data-storytelling
Transform data into compelling executive narratives using the What/Why/Next framework from Gartner research
status-elicitation
Use when checking in with Jesse about projects and life - I ask questions, he answers, I capture and update Linear/knowledge base
requirements-feedback
This skill should be used when the user asks about "feedback loops", "iterate on requirements", "continuous documentation", "refine requirements", "update requirements", "requirements changed", "stakeholder review", "validate requirements", "incorporate feedback", "gather feedback", "requirements review meeting", "backlog refinement feedback", "user research findings", "sprint retrospective feedback", "help me gather feedback", "run a feedback session", "get input on my vision", "get input on my epics", "get input on my stories", "collect user feedback", "document feedback from meeting", "review requirements with stakeholders", or when they need guidance on collecting and incorporating feedback throughout the requirements lifecycle.
best-practice-core
[Dev] Extracts and organizes best practices for a given topic into a minimal tree structure (max depth 3, max 5 children per node). Use during task planning when writing subtasks in Docs/{name}_Task.md - output is added under each subtask as a concise reference guide. Pure reasoning task with strict formatting rules: keywords/noun phrases only, no prose. (project)
understanding-assumption-surface
Surface implicit assumptions to verify them against observable code artifacts before building on unverified claims. Use when: (1) claims about code behavior are made without checking what the implementation actually does, (2) planned changes depend on properties not yet verified against tests, types, or runtime behavior, (3) reasoning is based on how software typically works rather than how this specific codebase demonstrably works, (4) assertions about system properties reference expected patterns rather than observed artifacts.
policy-qa
Answer policy questions with strict citations. Refuses to answer without sources.
narrative-diction
Choose words for register, connotation, and precision. Use when: (1) asked to adjust formality or vocabulary, (2) text contains words like "delve" or "leverage", (3) writing for technical or general audience, (4) translating between casual and formal language, (5) text uses abstract terms without concrete reference.
reachy-mini-sdk
Comprehensive guide for programming Reachy Mini robot using Python SDK v1.2.6. Use when working with Reachy Mini robot control, motion programming, sensor access, audio/video processing, or building AI applications. Covers movement control (head, antennas, body), camera/microphone access, motion recording/playback, coordinate systems, and Hugging Face integration. Essential for robotics development, AI experimentation, and interactive applications.
zenn-article-writer
Write technical articles for Zenn in Oikon's distinctive writing style. This skill should be used when creating articles about AI tools, development workflows, tool integrations, updates/new features, or technical reports. The skill provides detailed writing guidelines, article structure patterns, and reference materials based on Oikon's existing articles.
researching-libraries
Researches existing libraries before implementation. Required before writing any new functionality. Prevents reinventing the wheel by finding and evaluating existing packages.
ensue-auto-memory
Automatic persistent memory for Claude Code sessions. Activates on preference statements ("I prefer", "I always", "I like"), corrections ("no, don't", "actually"), identity statements ("my name is", "I work at"), project decisions, or when the system detects memory-related context. Works invisibly in the background.
dh-combat
This skill should be used when the GM needs to handle Daggerheart combat, including action roll resolution, Hope/Fear token economy, spotlight flow, damage tracking, reaction rolls, and managing combat encounters. Provides action outcome tables, encounter tracking templates, and condition references.
plotting
Creates publication-quality scientific plots. Use when making plots, figures, or visualizations. Applies tueplots TMLR styling, LaTeX rendering, no titles.
strategy-research
Use when developing or documenting trading strategies - guides edge hypothesis formation, validates statistical significance, documents strategy rules systematically (entry, exit, risk management). Activates when user says "research this strategy", "document my approach", "test this idea", mentions "trading strategy", "edge", or uses /trading:research command.
adapter-assistant
Complete adapter lifecycle assistant for LimaCharlie. Supports External Adapters (cloud-managed), Cloud Sensors (SaaS/cloud integrations), and On-prem USP adapters. Dynamically researches adapter types from local docs and GitHub usp-adapters repo. Creates, validates, deploys, and troubleshoots adapter configurations. Handles parsing rules (Grok, regex), field mappings, credential setup, and multi-adapter configs. Use when setting up new data sources (Okta, S3, Azure Event Hub, syslog, webhook, etc.), troubleshooting ingestion issues, or managing adapter deployments.
journalist-editor
Editor for non-fiction texts. The audience is business analysts and senior managers.
