Coding & Development

Generate and query the centralized agent identity registry. Scans .pi/agents/*/AGENTS.md, parses frontmatter, outputs agents-registry.json and optionally syncs to /memory for semantic search.

Self-improvement workbench for /assistant. All the tools needed to diagnose, train, evaluate, and promote models in a continuous loop. The "warm pond" where /assistant evolves its own inference stack.

Shared GPT + classifier inference gateway for persona monitor tasks. Routes validation and classification through a 4-tier cascade: heuristic → classifier → local GPT → scillm.

Canonical map and shared contracts for the agent-governance ecosystem: the pi.receipt_envelope.v1 boundary envelope, the component graph, and the rules for which component owns which schema. Use when wiring a skill or extension into the shared receipt world, when asking how shame, triage-error, tau, ask, project-watchdog, ops-herdr, ponytail, and Memory fit together, or when validating an envelope.

File-based inter-agent messaging with headless dispatch. Check inbox, send bugs/requests to other projects, automatically spawn headless agents to fix bugs, and track progress via task-monitor.

Artifact-driven status surfaces for long-running project-agent work. Maintains status.json, events.jsonl, proof manifests, and a stale-aware STATUS.html so humans can tell where the agent is, what passed, what is still unproven, and what decision or action is next — without dashboard theater.

The `mote` skill teaches AI agents **when and how** to publish Markdown with Mote — it contains no upload implementation of its own (it drives the CLI or the MCP tools).

Track multi-session plans on a locally-running kanban board (github.com/hechtch/kanban) via its agent REST API. Claim a plan, move it through todo/doing/blocked/awaiting_merge/done, leave notes, and set the git branch. Use at the start of any non-trivial multi-session plan, when resuming such a plan, or when the user asks what's on the board or where a plan stands.

Generates secure, memorable passwords using 3 random dictionary words with leet-speak substitutions. Use when the user asks to generate a password, create a new password, or needs a secure passphrase.

Use when querying, modifying, or converting JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, HCL, or INI with dasel v3. Complete reference for selectors, functions, conditionals, variables, spread operator, type casting, and format-specific patterns.

When setting up commit message validation for a project. When project has commitlint.config.js or .commitlintrc files. When configuring CI/CD to enforce commit format. When extracting commit rules for LLM prompt generation. When debugging commit message rejection errors.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "add logging to bash script", "colorize output", "implement log levels", "CI/CD sections", "terminal colors in bash", or mentions logging functions, emoji output, collapsible CI sections, or shlocksmith.

Configure clang-format code formatting. Use when: user mentions clang-format or .clang-format, analyzing code style/patterns, creating/modifying formatting config, troubleshooting formatting, brace styles/indentation/spacing/alignment/pointer alignment, or codifying conventions.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "lint bash script", "run shellcheck", "format shell script", "use shfmt", "fix shellcheck errors", or mentions shell script linting, formatting, code quality, or pre-commit hooks for bash.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "write a bash script", "create a shell script", "implement bash function", "parse arguments in bash", "handle errors in bash", or mentions bash development, shell scripting, script templates, or modern bash patterns.

Bash 5.1 release features and improvements with practical examples. Use when working with Bash 5.1 features, epoch time variables, redirection enhancements, or when user asks about Bash 5.1 changes, new features, or version-specific capabilities.

Prove behavior before declaring engineering work complete.

Reviews the current branch's changes against its base branch as a pull request: correctness of new and modified code, test coverage for it, and documentation accuracy. Use when asked to review a branch, a diff, or a pull request.

Bash 5.2 release features and improvements with practical examples. Use when working with Bash 5.2 features, variable handling enhancements, readline improvements, or when user asks about Bash 5.2 changes, new features, or version-specific capabilities.

Diagnose and fix Claude in Chrome MCP extension connectivity issues. Use when mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools fail, return "Browser extension is not connected", or behave erratically.

Create, update, or close work plans for multi-step tasks. Use when starting refactors, bug lists, feature work, migrations, or any task with 2+ steps. Also use after auto-compaction to re-orient. Triggers: "workplan", "work plan", "create a plan", "what's the plan", "where was I", or when Claude detects

Runs an autonomous review-and-fix improvement loop over the current branch's changes until a PR review comes back clean, scoped mechanically to the directories the branch touched. Reviews are performed by an installed PR-review skill (default: pr-review-toolkit's review-pr). Use to fix review findings on a branch before opening or updating a pull request ('clean up this branch', 'fix this PR until review passes', 'run review-and-fix on my changes'). NOT for a one-time review — run the PR-review skill directly.

Reviews a code target by launching a panel of specialist auditor agents and merging their reports. Use when asked to run a panel review.
