Plan a huge chunk of work (more than one agent session can hold) as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.

Generate an interactive bash wizard that walks a human through steps only they can perform. Use when provisioning infrastructure, setting up credentials or CI secrets, walking an unfamiliar third-party dashboard, or running a one-off migration or cutover. Don't invoke this for steps the agent can perform itself.

Writing, exploit; assemble raw material into a journey of beats, grounding each term before a beat leans on it.

Writing documents for agents. Use when creating or editing skills, or modifying AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.

Writing, explore: mine raw fragments, no structure yet.

Writing, exploit: shape raw material into an article, paragraph by paragraph.

Audit herdr release readiness by comparing commits since the base release against next-release changelog and docs. Use when asked to run or apply the repo's pre-release audit, validate docs/next before release, inspect issue refs that release CI will close, or finalize release docs for herdr.

Create and control a disposable named Herdr session from inside an existing Herdr session. Use for isolated Herdr runtime, pane, terminal, process, API, persistence, or agent reproductions that should be driven through the CLI/API without touching the default session.

Control Herdr, a terminal multiplexer for coding agents. Use only when the user explicitly mentions Herdr or asks to use Herdr to inspect or control panes, tabs, workspaces, commands, or another agent. Do not use merely because a task could benefit from a background terminal, delegation, or parallel work. Requires HERDR_ENV=1.

Triage open herdr GitHub issues into a concise decision-first Markdown table. Use when the user says "triage", asks to triage open issues, asks which issues need attention, or wants issue priority/recommendation lights for herdr.

Writes Git commit messages. Activates when the user asks to write a commit message, draft a commit message, or similar.

Use when the user wants to design, redesign, shape, critique, audit, polish, simplify, harden, animate, or otherwise improve a frontend interface: websites, landing pages, dashboards, product UI, components, forms, settings, onboarding, empty states, and native iOS or Android screens. Handles UX review, hierarchy, layout, typography, color, motion, UX copy, accessibility, responsive behavior, edge cases, and capturing or documenting design systems (DESIGN.md, tokens). Also for making bland UI bolder, loud UI quieter, or ambitious visual effects. Not for backend-only or non-UI tasks.

Master LLM-as-a-Judge evaluation techniques including direct scoring, pairwise comparison, rubric generation, and bias mitigation. Use when building evaluation systems, comparing model outputs, or establishing quality standards for AI-generated content.

Build a design system from scratch using the Design Graph methodology. Use when starting a component library, creating design tokens, establishing typography scales, or structuring a theme. Based on Brent Jackson's (jxnblk) constraint-based systems.

Automatically creates user-facing changelogs from git commits by analyzing commit history, categorizing changes, and transforming technical commits into clear, customer-friendly release notes. Turns hours of manual changelog writing into minutes of automated generation.

Design and evaluate context compression strategies for long-running agent sessions. Use when agents exhaust memory, need to summarize conversation history, or when optimizing tokens-per-task rather than tokens-per-request.

Recognize, diagnose, and mitigate patterns of context degradation in agent systems. Use when context grows large, agent performance degrades unexpectedly, or debugging agent failures.

Understand the components, mechanics, and constraints of context in agent systems. Use when designing agent architectures, debugging context-related failures, or optimizing context usage.

Apply optimization techniques to extend effective context capacity. Use when context limits constrain agent performance, when optimizing for cost or latency, or when implementing long-running agent systems.

Build evaluation frameworks for agent systems. Use when testing agent performance, validating context engineering choices, or measuring improvements over time.

This skill should be used when user wants to learn from their collected references, synthesize patterns across sources, or turn research into frameworks from curated reference collections (Are.na channels, bookmarks, saved articles).

This skill should be used to fix visual hierarchy when everything looks equally important, CTAs don't stand out, or users miss key information. Applies Von Restorff Effect, Serial Position Effect, and Law of Prägnanz.

This skill should be used when elements feel disconnected, cards float like islands, or groupings are unclear. Applies Law of Proximity, Law of Common Region, and Law of Uniform Connectedness.

This skill should be used when building single-file browser applications, client-side utilities, or interactive tools that need no backend. Covers patterns for state persistence, API integration, and advanced browser capabilities without React or build steps.
