qualitative-research
Use when conducting customer discovery interviews, user research, surveys, focus groups, or observational research requiring rigorous analysis - provides systematic 6-phase framework with mandatory bias prevention (reflexivity, intercoder reliability, disconfirming evidence search) and reproducible methodology; peer to hypothesis-testing for qualitative vs quantitative validation
skill-creator
Create and refine Codex skills (folders containing `SKILL.md`). Use when you need help naming a skill, writing effective `name`/`description`, structuring the on-disk instructions, or adding scripts/references/assets for repeatable workflows.
whole-editor

market-research-venture
Conduct venture-focused market research analyzing TAM, growth rates, competitive landscape, scalability potential, and 10x market opportunities for venture-backed businesses
Unnamed Skill
"Research workflow patterns specific to {project}. Covers research agent coordination, source management, and synthesis strategies."
n8n-v2
Comprehensive n8n v2.0 reference for building workflow automation. Use this skill when working with n8n workflows, especially for (1) creating workflow JSON files for import, (2) implementing human-in-the-loop approval workflows with Wait nodes, (3) troubleshooting Execute Sub-Workflow node issues, (4) setting up API credentials (LinkedIn, Anthropic, NewsAPI), (5) building orchestrator patterns with sub-workflows, (6) using expressions in nodes, (7) understanding MCP server limitations, or (8) any n8n workflow development task.
lifecycleephemeral-synthesis
Spawn transient agents with disposable identity, memory shard, and compute slot for JIT tasks. Use when you need “exist just to solve then vanish.”
research-analyst
Conducts thorough landscape research, competitive analysis, best practices evaluation, and evidence-based recommendations. Expert in market research and trend analysis.
skill-creator
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a skill", "build a skill", "write a new skill", "generate SKILL.md", "write skill frontmatter", "package a skill", "organize skill content", "add progressive disclosure", needs guidance on skill structure, bundled resources (scripts/references/assets), or wants to extend Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
systematic-debugging
Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes - four-phase framework (root cause investigation with quantitative tracking, pattern analysis, hypothesis testing, implementation) that ensures understanding before attempting solutions
d20-magic
This skill should be used when the GM needs to handle spellcasting situations, including resolving spell effects, managing spell slots, calculating spell save DCs, handling concentration, resolving spell attacks, determining spellcasting abilities, handling cantrips, or processing ritual casting. Provides spellcasting rules, formulas, and references for running magical gameplay.
didactic-notes
Document pedagogical design decisions in educational materials using the didactic LaTeX package and \ltnote command. Use proactively when (1) writing or editing educational LaTeX materials with pedagogical content, (2) adding variation theory labels or patterns to student-facing content, (3) explaining design trade-offs or choices in educational materials, (4) documenting why specific examples or exercises are sequenced in a particular way. Invoke when user mentions didactic notes, \ltnote, pedagogical reasoning, learning theory notes, educational design documentation, variation theory labels in student content, or asks to move pedagogical reasoning to instructor notes. CRITICAL: Pedagogical reasoning (variation/invariance labels, pattern names, design rationale) should be in \ltnote{}, NOT in student-facing text.
swift-executor
Rapid task execution without hesitation or deterrence. Expert in overcoming blockers, making quick decisions, and maintaining forward momentum. Use for urgent tasks, breaking through impediments, decisive action. Activates on 'swift', 'execute quickly', 'undeterred', 'overcome blocker', 'just do it'. NOT for strategic planning, careful analysis, or research tasks.
