Git & Version Control

detailed development workflow with modular patterns for git, code review, testing, documentation, and deployment

Declarative release readiness checklist that mirrors GitHub checks, deployment issues, and documentation requirements. Triggers: release gates, release readiness, deployment checklist, release review, quality signals, rollout scorecard, QA handshake, deployment gates Use when: preparing releases, validating deployment gates, conducting release reviews, embedding release gate snippets in PRs DO NOT use when: weekly status updates - use github-initiative-pulse. DO NOT use when: code reviews - use pensive review skills. Standardizes release approvals with GitHub-aware checklists.

Retrospective workflow evaluation and improvement of skills, agents, commands, and hooks. Triggers: workflow improvement, retrospective, workflow efficiency Use when: workflow felt slow, confusing, or needs optimization DO NOT use when: implementing features - focus on feature work first.

Minimize token usage through conservative prompting, work delegation, and quota tracking. Triggers: token usage, quota, token limits, prompt size, token conservation, usage tracking, delegation, context compression, token budget Use when: session starts (mandatory), prompt sizes spike, tool calls increase, before long-running analyses or massive context loads DO NOT use when: context-optimization already handles the scenario. DO NOT use when: simple queries with minimal context. Use this skill at the START of every session. This is MANDATORY for quota management.

Configure GitHub Actions workflows for CI/CD (test, lint, typecheck, publish)

Update and maintain tests following TDD/BDD principles with detailed quality assurance. Triggers: test updates, test maintenance, test generation, TDD workflow, BDD patterns, test coverage, pytest, test enhancement, quality assurance Use when: updating existing tests, generating new tests for features, enhancing test quality, ensuring detailed coverage, pre-commit validation DO NOT use when: auditing test suites - use pensive:test-review. DO NOT use when: writing production code - focus on implementation first. Run git-workspace-review first to understand which tests need updates.

Generic template patterns and lifecycle stages for knowledge storage, configuration management, and structured documentation. Triggers: storage templates, lifecycle stages, maturity progression, naming conventions, knowledge storage, configuration templates, documentation patterns Use when: organizing knowledge storage, managing configuration lifecycle, creating structured documentation, establishing naming conventions DO NOT use when: simple storage without lifecycle or structure needs. Consult this skill when designing storage and documentation systems.

Workflow orchestrator for Spec Driven Development. Coordinates skills and tracks progress. Triggers: speckit workflow, spec driven development, speckit commands Use when: starting any /speckit-* command or coordinating multi-phase development

Interactive project initialization with git setup, workflows, hooks, and build configuration. Triggers: project setup, initialization, scaffold, bootstrap, new project Use when: starting new projects or initializing repositories

Feature review and prioritization with RICE/WSJF/Kano scoring. Creates GitHub issues for suggestions. Triggers: feature review, prioritization, RICE, WSJF, roadmap, backlog Use when: reviewing features or suggesting new features DO NOT use when: evaluating single feature scope - use scope-guard.

JS/TS conventions for syntax, modules, and types. Use when writing or reviewing JavaScript/TypeScript code.

Generate program dashboards, GitHub-ready comment digests, and CSV summaries sourced from Minister's tracker data. Triggers: initiative pulse, status report, weekly update, stakeholder briefing, github dashboard, blocker radar, initiative health, program metrics Use when: creating status reports, weekly updates, stakeholder briefings, generating GitHub comment digests, tracking initiative health DO NOT use when: release gates/readiness - use release-health-gates. DO NOT use when: project planning - use spec-kit:speckit-orchestrator. Outputs markdown digests and CSV exports for GitHub issues and PRs.

Shared infrastructure and patterns for sanctum git/workspace skills. Triggers: sanctum patterns, todowrite patterns, git commands, output templates, sanctum infrastructure, shared patterns, git conventions Use when: developing new sanctum skills, refactoring existing skills, ensuring consistency across sanctum workflows, referencing standard patterns DO NOT use directly: this skill is infrastructure for other sanctum skills. Provides reusable patterns consumed by all sanctum git and workspace skills.

Leveraging AI coding assistants and tools to boost development productivity, while maintaining oversight to ensure quality results.

Creates a new ButterCut release with version bump, changelog, git tag, gem build, and GitHub release. Use when publishing a new version.

A skill to automatically download and install the latest ButterCut version from GitHub while preserving libraries. Use when user wants to check for updates or update their installation for new features.

GitHub Spec-Kit integration for constitution-based spec-driven development. 7-phase workflow (constitution, specify, clarify, plan, tasks, analyze, implement). Use when working with spec-kit CLI, .specify/ directories, or creating specifications with constitution-driven development. Triggered by "spec-kit", "speckit", "constitution", "specify", references to .specify/ directory, or spec-kit commands.

Generate images using Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Preview). Use when creating app icons, logos, UI graphics, marketing banners, social media images, illustrations, diagrams, or any visual assets.
