Discovers and injects project-specific coding guidelines from .trellis/spec/ before implementation begins. Reads spec indexes, pre-development checklists, and shared thinking guides for the target package. Use when starting a new coding task, before writing any code, switching to a different package, or needing to refresh project conventions and standards.
Guides collaborative requirements discovery before implementation. Creates task directory, seeds PRD, asks high-value questions one at a time, researches technical choices, and converges on MVP scope. Use when requirements are unclear, there are multiple valid approaches, or the user describes a new feature or complex task.
Deep bug analysis to break the fix-forget-repeat cycle. Analyzes root cause category, why fixes failed, prevention mechanisms, and captures knowledge into specs. Use after fixing a bug to prevent the same class of bugs.
Use Trellis channel for live multi-agent collaboration, spawned workers, cross-agent review, progress inspection, forum channels, and channel log debugging.
Comprehensive quality verification: spec compliance, lint, type-check, tests, cross-layer data flow, code reuse, and consistency checks. Use when code is written and needs quality verification, before committing changes, or to catch context drift during long sessions.
Understand and customize the local Trellis architecture inside a user project. Use when modifying .trellis plus platform hooks, settings, agents, skills, commands, prompts, workflows, the channel runtime (trellis channel), bundled runtime agents under .trellis/agents/, selectable workflow templates, registry-backed spec refresh, cross-session memory (trellis mem) generated by trellis init, or AI-facing bundled skills (trellis-channel, trellis-session-insight, trellis-spec-bootstrap) and bundled-skill auto-dispatch flow.
Reach into past AI conversation history through the `trellis mem` CLI. Use whenever the user asks 'how did we solve X last time', 'have we discussed this before', 'what was the decision on X', 'remind me what we did in this task', '上次怎么解的', '之前讨论过吗', '想起一段对话', or when starting a brainstorm that overlaps prior work, debugging a familiar bug, continuing a task across sessions, or doing a finish-work review. Returns raw past dialogue; decide for the moment whether to update spec, append to task notes, quote inline in the answer, or just internalize.
Bootstrap project-specific Trellis coding specs with a platform-neutral single-agent workflow. Use when creating or refreshing .trellis/spec guidelines, analyzing a codebase with GitNexus, ABCoder, or source inspection, decomposing package/layer spec work, and writing real codebase-backed spec docs without placeholder text.
Captures executable contracts and coding conventions into .trellis/spec/ documents. Use when learning something valuable from debugging, implementing, or discussion that should be preserved for future sessions.
A folder with a SKILL.md file: a name, a description of when to use it, and instructions. Claude loads a skill only when the task matches its description.
How do I use one I find here?
Copy the folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, or into your own skills folder to use it everywhere.
What do the warnings mean?
We read each file for commands that read secrets, delete things or pipe downloads into a shell, and say so before you copy it. No warning is not a promise that a file is safe.
Which skills worked for people?
Open a skill to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
