Skill22 starsChanged 10 days agoMITView on GitHub
Read-only recall/menu for the spec-driven pipeline. Detects where the current OpenSpec change is and prints "you are here" on the pipeline map, the next command to run, and an inventory of the available skills/agents. Use when the user forgets what to do next or what tooling exists. Triggers on "what now", "/what-now", "what do I run", "remind me", "where am I", "which skill".

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 8
Read-only: Do NOT implement, edit, or create anything.
- Distinctive: line 15
no change → Stage 0: Idea (nothing started)
- Distinctive: line 74
Keep the whole output compact — it's a glanceable cheat-sheet, not a tutorial.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
what-now — "where am I & what can I run"
Read-only. Do NOT implement, edit, or create anything. Just orient the user and stop.
1. Detect current state
openspec list --jsonFor the active/most-recent change, also peek at tasks.md checkbox progress (via openspec status --change <name> --json). Map it to a stage:
- no change → Stage 0: Idea (nothing started)
- change exists, specs/ADRs being written, not yet reviewed → Stage 1: Plan & Specify (
/make-plan) - specs + ADRs final/approved, tasks unchecked or partial → Stage 2: Build (
/implement-specs) - tasks all checked, not archived → Stage 3: Archive
- archived → Done
2. Print the pipeline map with "you are here"
Render this, marking the current stage with 👉:
🗺️ NOT SURE WHICH TRACK? → /task-analyzer "<task>"
Sizes up the task and either hands back the analysis (if you're just
asking) or drives the right track itself (if you said to do it) —
no need to pick /fix vs /make-plan vs /autopilot yourself.
🗺️ OR PICK A TRACK DIRECTLY BY THE KIND OF WORK
• Idea / unknown → /research (web + codebase → sources, options, wireframe, flow → then plan)
• Small bug → /fix (diagnose → failing test → minimal fix → verify for real → reviewers)
• Feature / change → /make-plan … (the 2-phase SDD pipeline below)
• "I'm busy, do it all" → /autopilot (plan + build hands-off, AI gate + three reviewers, review the output)
• Typo / one-liner → just do it, no skill
🗺️ SPEC-DRIVEN PIPELINE (for features — 2 phases, review in between)
① Plan & Specify → /make-plan "<goal>" (clarify → specs + ADR → STOP for review)
⤷ uses grill-me / /opsx:explore / /opsx:propose
— 👁 human reviews & approves specs + ADRs —
② Build → /implement-specs (spec-loop: code → review → fix until matched)
⤷ implements via the recommended experts, then quality gate + three reviewers → draft PR
③ Archive → /opsx:archive (fold specs in, close the change)
④ Context → auto-record to memory (logic + why, for the next session)3. Tell them the single next action
One line: the exact command to run next given the detected stage.
- Stage 0 →
/make-plan "<what you want>"(produce specs + ADRs for review) - Stage 1 (specs exist, awaiting approval) → review them, then
/implement-specs - Stage 2 (building) →
/implement-specsto continue, or/opsx:archiveif tasks are done
4. Skill / agent inventory
List the toolkit, one line each, so they remember what's available:
/task-analyzer <task>— front door: sizes up any task, then either hands back the analysis or drives the matched track itself (direct / fix / make-plan / autopilot / research); never asks "analyze or proceed?"/research <target>— investigate (web + codebase), output a brief: sources, options, wireframe, flow; read-only, feeds /make-plan/fix <bug>— lightweight bug track: diagnose → failing test → minimal fix → verify for real → three reviewers when non-trivial → draft PR; auto-escalates to /make-plan if it turns out big/make-plan <goal>— Phase 1: clarify → specs + ADR → recommend experts → STOP for review (no code)/implement-specs— Phase 2: after specs/ADRs are approved → spec-loop builds via experts → quality gate + three reviewers → archive → draft PR → record memory/autopilot <goal>— full-auto: make-plan + implement-specs in one run, no human gate; AI-reviews the specs, runs the three reviewers, logs assumptions, hands back a review packet; opens a draft PR with the evidence, never mergesgrill-me— interview the user to lock the plan before coding/opsx:explore— think through a fuzzy/large problem/opsx:propose— generate specs + design + tasks from one descriptionspec-loop— autonomously implement → independent review → fix until specs matchdev-workflows:technical-designer— write ADRs / design docs/opsx:archive·/opsx:sync— close the change / fold delta specs into the main specsopen-pr— feature branch, one commit, push, draft PR with the spec, checks, walkthrough screenshots and reviewer verdicts; never mergesdiagnose— disciplined debugging loop (reproduce → minimise → hypothesise → instrument → fix → guard)ui-walkthrough— click through the running app like a user, verify every write over the real API, read every screenshot- agents
diff-reviewer·security-reviewer·edge-case-reviewer— the three parallel reviewers every non-trivial change gets before done - agent
walkthrough-runner— runs the UI walkthrough (reads every screenshot), launched in the same parallel message as the three reviewers when the change is UI-visible - (optional)
dev-workflows:code-verifier— code vs specs;dev-workflows:quality-fixer— fix lint/build/test
Keep the whole output compact — it's a glanceable cheat-sheet, not a tutorial. Then stop.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
