Break a design brief into an ordered checklist of independently buildable tasks using vertical slices. Saves as a markdown checklist. Use when user wants to break down work, create tasks from a brief, plan implementation order, or mentions "tasks" or "breakdown".

Overview and router for assistant-ui, the React library for building AI chat interfaces from composable primitives. Use for high-level, cross-cutting, or architecture-overview questions: choosing packages, picking a runtime, or understanding the layered model (RuntimeCore, Runtime, context hooks, primitives) and message model. Covers the `@assistant-ui/react` core plus `@assistant-ui/react-ai-sdk`, `@assistant-ui/react-langgraph`, `assistant-stream`, and `assistant-cloud`; `AssistantRuntimeProvider`; the primitives `ThreadPrimitive`, `MessagePrimitive`, `ComposerPrimitive`; the hooks `useAui`, `useAuiState`, `useAuiEvent`; and runtime selection across `useChatRuntime`, `useExternalStoreRuntime`, `useLangGraphRuntime`, `useLocalRuntime`. For a specific area route to a focused sibling instead: setup, runtime, primitives, tools, streaming, cloud, thread-list, or update. Not for hands-on tasks already owned by those siblings.

Build distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality, guided by named aesthetic philosophies. Use when building components, pages, or applications. Generates working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices that avoid generic AI output.

Best practices and example-driven guidance for building SwiftUI views and components, including navigation hierarchies, custom view modifiers, and responsive layouts with stacks and grids. Use when creating or refactoring SwiftUI UI, designing tab architecture with TabView, composing screens with VStack/HStack, managing @State or @Binding, building declarative iOS interfaces, or needing component-specific patterns and examples.

Applies when working with shadcn/ui, component registries, presets, --preset codes, or any project with a components.json file. Also triggers for "shadcn init", "create an app with --preset", or "switch to --preset".

Uniwind — Tailwind CSS v4 styling for React Native. Use when adding, building, or debugging components in a React Native project that uses Uniwind classNames.

Does not cover NativeWind migration.

Structure software around the Dependency Rule: source code dependencies point inward from frameworks to use cases to entities. Use when the user mentions "architecture layers", "dependency rule", "ports and adapters", "hexagonal architecture", "use case boundary", "onion architecture", "screaming architecture", or "framework independence". Also trigger when decoupling business logic from databases or frameworks, defining module boundaries, or debating where to put business rules. Covers component principles, boundaries, and SOLID. For code quality, see clean-code. For domain modeling, see domain-driven-design.

Use when the user mentions "domain modeling", "bounded context", "aggregate root", "ubiquitous language", "anti-corruption layer", "context mapping", "domain events", or "strategic design".

Covers entities vs value objects, domain events, and context mapping strategies. For architecture layers, see clean-architecture. For complexity, see software-design-philosophy.

Guides the design and structuring of workflow-based Claude Code skills with multi-step phases, decision trees, subagent delegation, and progressive disclosure. Use when creating skills that involve sequential pipelines, routing patterns, safety gates, task tracking, phased execution, or any multi-step workflow. Also applies when reviewing or refactoring existing workflow skills for quality.

Use Orca orchestration for structured multi-agent coordination: threaded messages, blocking ask/reply flows, task dispatch, worker_done/escalation waits, task DAGs, decision gates, coordinator loops, or decomposing work across agents. Use `orca-cli` instead for ordinary terminal control, lightweight terminal prompts, shell commands, Orca worktree management, reading or waiting on terminals, and automation of the browser embedded inside Orca. Use Computer Use for browser windows, webviews, Orca app UI, or desktop UI outside Orca's embedded browser.
