Apply typography, color theory, spacing systems, and iconography principles to create cohesive visual designs.
Use when reasoning about how a system, user, or designer's internal model of behavior may diverge from reality — applies across UX, distributed systems, type systems, API design,…
Stripe payment reconciliation for Sales Hub: webhook lifecycle (signature verification, idempotency, PII-redacted raw event storage, order linking, ledger projection,…
Use when the user is unsure which skill to use or where to start. Interviews the user with targeted questions and recommends the best skill(s) from the installed library for their…
Use when allocating context-window budget across system, skill-injection, working, and output zones; monitoring context health; deciding when to compact; preserving state before…
Use when designing a color system — palette construction, semantic color tokens, WCAG contrast ratios, perceptual uniformity in OKLCH/LCH, and light/dark mode parity.
Designing, running, and interpreting controlled experiments to decide whether a change is genuinely better — online A/B tests, randomized controlled trials, and offline hypothesis…
Enforces five non-negotiable quality pillars that counter the shortcuts an agent takes under training pressure: complete reporting (show ALL items, never filter unilaterally),…
Process the Refinery merge queue - collect agent work, detect and resolve conflicts, merge in dependency order, and verify integration.
Use when validating incoming Stripe webhook requests in a Node.js or Next.js backend before processing any payment event.
Use when designing or auditing dependency structure: package boundaries, runtime vs build dependencies, adapter layers, duplicate-purpose libraries, supply-chain risk, upgrade…
Use when dispatching a content-fetch task across the multiple sources the site reads from — local markdown under `content/`, MDX with React components under `content/mdx/`, and a…
This skill records the formal ontological commitments of the skill-graph protocol — what entities exist (Skill, ConceptCard, Eval, ComprehensionEval, Relation, Manifest, Audit,…
Negative fixture for the gate-conformance suite: valid v8 frontmatter except `relations.verify_with` points at a skill that does not exist.
Use as the v6-conformant fixture exercising the full Understanding surface — flat top-level fields (mental_model, purpose, boundary, analogy, misconception) AND the nested v5…
Use when authoring or reviewing the build-time image pipeline config — defining responsive srcset breakpoints, picking output formats (AVIF / WebP / JPEG fallback), tuning…
Use as the v6-conformant fixture exercising all four typed relation predicates (related, boundary, verify_with, depends_on) using the {skill, reason} object shape.
This skill records the skill-graph protocol's specific semantic conventions — the non-negotiable naming and meaning rules for protocol entities (Skill, ConceptCard,…
This skill provides mobile-specific UX patterns for SaaS dashboards: touch-friendly targets (44px minimum), thumb-zone optimization, swipe gestures, condensed data display, bottom…
Use when authoring or reviewing the frontmatter of a markdown post — checking required fields (title, date, slug, tags), validating against the content schema in…
Use as the minimal v6-conformant codebase-grounded fixture for skill-graph package tests. Activate this skill when verifying that lint enforces grounding requireds (domain_object,…
Use when migrating every existing post in `content/posts/**/*.md` to the v2 frontmatter schema — adding the new required `summary` field, normalizing `tags` to the controlled…
Use when authoring or reviewing a periodic-scan job that walks every external link in a markdown content set and flags 404s, redirects to unrelated content, and connection…
This skill provides live data update patterns for web applications: webhook-to-UI push patterns, Server-Sent Events for dashboard updates, polling fallback strategies, optimistic…
This skill provides expertise in data and context compression: SaaS payload optimization (Zstd, Brotli, Gzip), database storage compression, and AI context window compression…
Use when reasoning about building language-model-integrated systems by writing evaluations before and alongside the system: the statistical (not binary) nature of LLM evals, the…
This skill provides decision frameworks for choosing the optimal execution path before starting work: plan-vs-act gates, agent architecture selection (chaining, routing,…
Use as the smallest v6-conformant capability fixture for skill-graph package tests. Activate this skill when verifying that lint, manifest generation, and routing accept the…
This skill consolidates autonomous AI agent loop patterns: the Ralph Wiggum exit-code-2 pattern, our manage-loop (manage-continuation.json + manage-loop-hook.py), grind-loop.sh…
