This repo contains 7 individual skills — each has its own dedicated page.
Clean Architecture principles and best practices from Robert C. Martin's book. This skill should be used when designing software systems, reviewing code structure, or refactoring applications to achieve better separation of concerns. Triggers on tasks involving layers, boundaries, dependency direction, entities, use cases, or system architecture.
Code simplification skill for improving clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving exact behavior. Use when simplifying code, reducing complexity, cleaning up recent changes, applying refactoring patterns, or improving readability. Triggers on tasks involving code cleanup, simplification, refactoring, or readability improvements.
nuqs (type-safe URL query state) best practices for Next.js and other React frameworks. This skill should be used when writing, reviewing, or refactoring code that uses nuqs for URL state management. Triggers on tasks involving useQueryState, useQueryStates, search params, URL state, query parameters, nuqs parsers, limitUrlUpdates, Standard Schema, NuqsAdapter, or Next.js routing with state.
React Hook Form performance optimization for client-side form validation using useForm, useWatch, useController, useFieldArray, and the v7.55+ subscribe() API. This skill should be used when building client-side controlled forms with React Hook Form library. This skill does NOT cover React 19 Server Actions, useActionState, or server-side form handling (use react-19 skill for those).
TypeScript performance, tsconfig, type errors, async patterns — triggered when the user asks to "optimize TypeScript performance", "speed up tsc compilation", "configure tsconfig.json", "fix type errors", "improve async patterns", or encounters TS errors (TS2322, TS2339, "is not assignable to"). Also triggers on .ts, .tsx, .d.ts file work involving type definitions, module organization, or memory management. Does NOT cover TypeScript basics, framework-specific patterns, or testing.
Vitest testing framework patterns for test setup, async testing, mocking with vi.*, snapshots, and test performance (formerly test-vitest). This skill should be used when writing or debugging Vitest tests. This skill does NOT cover TDD methodology (use test-tdd skill), API mocking with MSW (use test-msw skill), or Jest-specific APIs.
Zod schema validation best practices for type safety, parsing, and error handling. This skill should be used when defining z.object schemas, using z.string validations, safeParse, or z.infer. This skill does NOT cover React Hook Form integration patterns (use react-hook-form skill) or OpenAPI client generation (use orval skill).
Extract frames or short clips from videos using ffmpeg.
Summarize or transcribe URLs, YouTube/videos, podcasts, articles, transcripts, PDFs, and local files.
Production-ready animation patterns for React / Next.js — button, modal, toast, stagger, page transitions, exit animations, scroll, and layout — built on motion-foundations tokens and springs.
Advanced motion patterns for React / Next.js — drag & drop, gestures, text animations, SVG path drawing, custom hooks, imperative sequences (useAnimate), loaders, and the full API decision tree. Requires motion-foundations.
Production-ready UI motion system for React/Next.js. Use when implementing animations, transitions, or motion patterns.
Generates Angular code and provides architectural guidance. Trigger when creating projects, components, or services, or for best practices on reactivity (signals, linkedSignal, resource), forms, dependency injection, routing, SSR, accessibility (ARIA), animations, styling (component styles, Tailwind CSS), testing, or CLI tooling.
