    decision-mapping

    Turn a loose idea into a sequenced map of investigation tickets, then drive them to resolution one at a time.

    modern-go

    Modernize Go code by applying version-appropriate idioms and APIs (gofix-style transformations). Scans go.mod for the Go version, then transforms Go source files to use modern patterns—from Go 1.0 through 1.26+. Use when the user says "现代化","现代Go语言", "地道的", "idiomatic", "modernize", "modern-go", "update Go code", "gofix", or wants to upgrade Go idioms.

    zoom-out

    Tell the agent to zoom out and give broader context or a higher-level perspective. Use when you're unfamiliar with a section of code or need to understand how it fits into the bigger picture.

    loop-it

    Automated issue loop with checkpoint/resume: fetch open GitHub issues → dependency-aware topological sort → implement each issue end-to-end → review with /review-it → document with /note-it → ship with /ship-it → repeat. Persists state to .loop-state.json for crash recovery. Triggers on: loop-it, loop issues, auto implement, 批量实现, 循环实现, 实现所有issue, 恢复循环, resume loop.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 4 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 4

    Common

    Most of the 123 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    If the calling graph names a local output file, write there and do not create tracker issues.

    line 14
  2. Common:

    If you have not already explored the codebase, do so to understand the current state of the code.

    line 24
  3. Common:

    Prefer many thin slices over few thick ones </vertical-slice-rules>

    line 35
  4. Common:

    Should any slices be merged or split further?

    line 51
  5. Common:

    Do NOT close or modify any parent issue.

    line 85

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 123 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

To Issues

Break a plan into independently-grabbable issues using vertical slices (tracer bullets).

If the calling graph names a local output file, write there and do not create tracker issues. Otherwise take the tracker and label vocabulary from the repo's AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.

Process

1. Gather context

Work from whatever is already in the conversation context. If the user passes an issue reference (issue number, URL, or path) as an argument, fetch it from the issue tracker and read its full body and comments.

2. Explore the codebase (optional)

If you have not already explored the codebase, do so to understand the current state of the code. Issue titles and descriptions should use the project's domain glossary vocabulary, and respect ADRs in the area you're touching.

3. Draft vertical slices

Break the plan into tracer bullet issues. Each issue is a thin vertical slice that cuts through ALL integration layers end-to-end, NOT a horizontal slice of one layer.

Slices may be 'HITL' or 'AFK'. HITL slices require human interaction, such as an architectural decision or a design review. AFK slices can be implemented and merged without human interaction. Prefer AFK over HITL where possible.

<vertical-slice-rules> - Each slice delivers a narrow but COMPLETE path through every layer (schema, API, UI, tests) - A completed slice is demoable or verifiable on its own - Prefer many thin slices over few thick ones </vertical-slice-rules>

4. Quiz the user

Present the proposed breakdown as a numbered list. For each slice, show:

  • Title: short descriptive name
  • Type: HITL / AFK
  • Blocked by: which other slices (if any) must complete first
  • User stories covered: which user stories this addresses (if the source material has them)

Ask the user:

  • Does the granularity feel right? (too coarse / too fine)
  • Are the dependency relationships correct?
  • Should any slices be merged or split further?
  • Are the correct slices marked as HITL and AFK?

Iterate until the user approves the breakdown.

5. Publish the issues to the issue tracker

For each approved slice, publish a new issue to the issue tracker. Use the issue body template below. Apply the needs-triage triage label so each issue enters the normal triage flow.

Publish issues in dependency order (blockers first) so you can reference real issue identifiers in the "Blocked by" field.

<issue-template> ## Parent

A reference to the parent issue on the issue tracker (if the source was an existing issue, otherwise omit this section).

What to build

A concise description of this vertical slice. Describe the end-to-end behavior, not layer-by-layer implementation.

Acceptance criteria

  • Criterion 1
  • Criterion 2
  • Criterion 3

Blocked by

  • A reference to the blocking ticket (if any)

Or "None - can start immediately" if no blockers.

</issue-template>

Do NOT close or modify any parent issue.
