Design

Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions

Convert technical designs into actionable, sequenced implementation tasks. Create clear coding tasks that enable incremental progress, respect dependencies, and provide a roadmap for systematic feature development.

Create comprehensive steering documents for development projects. Generates project-specific standards, git workflows, and technology guidelines in .kiro/steering/ directory.

Diagnose and resolve common issues during spec-driven development and implementation. Learn strategies for handling spec-reality divergence, dependency blocks, unclear requirements, and other execution challenges.

Systematic three-phase approach to feature development using Requirements, Design, and Tasks phases. Transforms vague feature ideas into well-defined, implementable solutions that reduce ambiguity, improve quality, and enable effective AI collaboration.

Transform vague feature ideas into clear, testable requirements using EARS format. Capture user stories, define acceptance criteria, identify edge cases, and validate completeness before moving to design.

Transform approved requirements into comprehensive technical designs. Define system architecture, component interactions, data models, and interfaces to create a blueprint for implementation.

Backend API design, database architecture, microservices patterns, and test-driven development. Use for designing APIs, database schemas, or backend system architecture.

Building applications with Large Language Models - prompt engineering, RAG patterns, and LLM integration. Use for AI-powered features, chatbots, or LLM-based automation.

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. Use when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static visual piece. Creates original visual designs.

Multi-agent autonomous startup system for Claude Code. Triggers on "Loki Mode". Orchestrates 100+ specialized agents across engineering, QA, DevOps, security, data/ML, business operations, marketing, HR, and customer success. Takes PRD to fully deployed, revenue-generating product with zero human intervention. Features Task tool for subagent dispatch, parallel code review with 3 specialized reviewers, severity-based issue triage, distributed task queue with dead letter handling, automatic deployment to cloud providers, A/B testing, customer feedback loops, incident response, circuit breakers, and self-healing. Handles rate limits via distributed state checkpoints and auto-resume with exponential backoff. Requires --dangerously-skip-permissions flag.

Guide for creating effective skills. Use when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

Guide for creating high-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. Use when building MCP servers to integrate external APIs or services, whether in Python (FastMCP) or Node/TypeScript (MCP SDK).

Database schema design, optimization, and migration patterns for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and NoSQL databases. Use for designing schemas, writing migrations, or optimizing queries.

Clarify requirements before implementing. Do not use automatically, only when invoked explicitly.

Writing effective code documentation - API docs, README files, inline comments, and technical guides. Use for documenting codebases, APIs, or writing developer guides.

Apply brand colors and typography to artifacts. Use when brand colors, style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply. Ensures consistency across branded content.

Toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using Playwright. Supports verifying frontend functionality, debugging UI behavior, capturing browser screenshots, and viewing browser logs.

Capture and analyze thread backtraces with LLDB/GDB to debug hangs, deadlocks, UI freezes, IPC stalls, or high-CPU loops across any language or project. Use when an app becomes unresponsive, switching contexts stalls, or you need thread stacks to locate lock inversion or blocking calls.

Build BSL semantic models with dimensions, measures, joins, and YAML config. Use for creating/modifying data models.
