    brief-to-tasks

    Break a design brief into an ordered checklist of independently buildable tasks using vertical slices. Saves as a markdown checklist. Use when user wants to break down work, create tasks from a brief, plan implementation order, or mentions "tasks" or "breakdown".

    writing-beats

    Shape an article as a journey of beats, choose-your-own-adventure style. The user picks a starting beat from the raw material, you write only that beat, then offer options for where to pivot next, beat by beat, until the article reaches a natural end. Use when the user has raw material and wants to assemble it as a narrative rather than an argument.

    writing-shape

    Take a markdown file of raw material and shape it into an article through a conversational session — drafting candidate openings, growing the piece paragraph by paragraph, arguing about format (lists, tables, callouts, quotes) at each step. Use when the user has a pile of notes, fragments, or a rough draft and wants help turning it into something publishable.

    setup-ts-deep-modules

    Wire dependency-cruiser into a TypeScript repo so each package is a deep module — implementation hidden in subfolders, reachable only through its entry-point files. User-invoked.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

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

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 177 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    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:

    Use this skill when the user asks for or clearly wants to be grilled, interviewed, or to stress-test a plan or design.

    line 9
  2. Distinctive:

    Ask exactly one focused question at a time.

    line 18
  3. Distinctive:

    After each answer, update the decision state and continue to the next material branch.

    line 20
  4. Distinctive:

    Stop when material scope, success criteria, and resources or constraints are settled, or when the user switches to execution.

    line 23

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 177 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.

Grill Me

Use this skill when the user asks for or clearly wants to be grilled, interviewed, or to stress-test a plan or design. It is an interview workflow, not authorization to implement or modify anything.

  • Inspect the repository, configuration, and available artifacts for facts that can be answered locally; do not ask the user for answerable facts.
  • Identify unresolved decisions that materially affect scope, success criteria, constraints, resources, or execution order. Skip settled choices and low-impact minutiae.
  • Ask exactly one focused question at a time. Include your recommended answer with each question and briefly explain why it is the recommended default.
  • After each answer, update the decision state and continue to the next material branch. Do not reopen settled details unless new information creates a real conflict.
  • Stop when material scope, success criteria, and resources or constraints are settled, or when the user switches to execution. Summarize the decisions and handoff; handle later implementation under the normal authorization and scope rules for that task.

Invocation of this skill alone never authorizes implementation, external writes, or other mutations.
