- WayfindChart a too-big, still-foggy effort as a decision map on the work-item tracker and work its frontier one decision at a time until it graduates to a Brief, PRD, or PLAN. Use when: 'this is a huge foggy effort', 'I don't even know the questions yet', 'map this out', 'chart this program', 'plan-the-plan'. Already sharp tickets: /planning:interview or /work-items.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13

- Vendor127 Claude Code workflow tips from Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code) and the Claude Code team. PROACTIVE MODE: When the user is working on a task, check the CONTEXT MAP below and surface the most relevant tip BEFORE they ask. One tip at a time, short and actionable. Don't dump all tips — be a coach, not an encyclopedia. BROWSE MODE: When invoked with /boris, show the topic list and let the user pick. Use when: setting up Claude Code, optimizing workflows, running parallel sessions, config...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Fable 5When the bundled claude-api skill resolves in this session, prefer it for current model, price, and API facts and the cost audit; this skill for judgment and mechanisms around them. Claude Fable 5's operating doctrine, standing instructions arming the session, with chapters loading at their triggers: calibration, reasoning moves, problem framing, planning, debugging, execution, orchestration, verification, communication, recovery, context economy, and trust boundaries.

- VendorGuide for designing and authoring Claude Code skills. Covers 9 skill categories, authoring best practices, progressive disclosure, and distribution strategies. Trigger on "create a skill", "new skill", "skill structure", "skill best practices", "skill design", "what kind of skill", "skill types", "how to write a skill".Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- UpdateMaintainer-facing drift-check and upstream sync for the playbooks plugin's vendored packs (boris, skill-authoring). Run only from a working-tree checkout. Actions: --check (default, read-only drift report) and --apply (refresh vendored baselines). Not for consumers, consumers update via /plugin marketplace update.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- UseReach Anthropic's first-party playground capability in one step: verify the upstream playground plugin is installed, invoke its skill for interactive single-file HTML explorers (controls beside a live preview, output is a prompt to paste back), or emit the exact install commands when it is absent. Use when: 'make me a playground', 'interactive explorer for X', 'install the playground plugin', 'critique this document with approve/reject controls', or any ask to tune a parameter space visually ...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- PlaywrightLive E2E browser automation via Microsoft's @playwright/cli: named sessions, accessibility-ref snapshots, click/fill by ref, screenshots, console and network capture, network mocking, tracing, video, and auth state, with artifacts written to disk so only paths enter context (far fewer tokens than Playwright MCP). Use when: 'playwright', 'E2E test', or any task that needs a real browser driven against a running app: testing a UI flow end to end, capturing a screenshot or video as evidence, rea...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupVerify the playwright plugin's runtime prerequisites: the playwright-cli binary and a resolvable browser for this machine. Use when: 'set up playwright', 'configure playwright', 'is playwright working', 'install playwright-cli', a browser flow reports the CLI is missing, or before a first E2E run. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (resolve what check found; apply install-cli performs the global CLI install). Re-runnable and safe.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- AuditPost-use behavioral audit of a Claude Code plugin component, a skill, agent, hook, command, or config, after using or setting it up, ending in a work item emitted to the plugin's maintainers. Covers errors, improvements, and quality of life for each audited component. Use when vetting, reviewing, stress-testing, or hardening a plugin component, when the ask is 'audit this plugin/skill/hook', 'review this plugin component', 'vet this plugin', 'is this plugin (or hook) well-designed', 'find bug...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupVerify the plugin-quality plugin's prerequisites on this machine: gh presence and the ACTING account, the context-guard snapshot seam, the convention-home binding and effective config with provenance, retired-convention leftovers, and the effective sink; apply converges the pointer-line region and the plugin-quality topic doc at the consumer's convention home. Use when: 'set up plugin-quality', 'which sink will audits use', 'is the audit context-gate live', before a first audit in a repo, aft...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupVerify the powershell-format hook's runtime prerequisites and configuration for this repository. Use when: 'set up powershell-format', 'configure powershell-format', 'is powershell-format working', PowerShell formatting or linting silently isn't happening, or the hook reported a missing prerequisite. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (resolve what check found). Re-runnable and safe.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Explore DirectionsWhen the built-in ClaudeDesign tool resolves in this session and the person names, links, or asks for work in an existing claude.ai/design project, prefer it for that project; this skill for throwaway variants. Builds throwaway UI variations, several radically different layouts on one route switchable from a floating bar, to answer 'what should this look like' before committing to a design. Use when the question is what a page, screen, or dashboard should look like, or for design options to c...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Pressure TestBuilds a throwaway interactive terminal app to pressure-test business logic, a state machine, a data model, or an API surface before committing to it. Use when the question is whether a state model, reducer, or data shape holds up under real cases: 'does this state machine handle X then Y', 'sanity-check this data model', 'feel out the API'. Any question answered by driving state by hand and watching it change. Produces a portable pure logic module (liftable into production) behind a disposab...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- AuditAudit the Claude Code instruction/memory layer covering CLAUDE.md, a root AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.local.md, .claude/rules/, and auto-memory against a codified checklist derived from official Claude Code documentation. Use when: 'audit CLAUDE.md', 'audit AGENTS.md', 'memory health', 'audit rules', 'is my CLAUDE.md too long', 'prune instructions', after CLAUDE.md/rules changes or a Claude Code upgrade; actions: audit (default), fix, update, report.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupVerify harness-ops's personal path configuration for this repository (where the known-issues registry, the skill-usage log and the per-session hook event log resolve), check the self-ignoring guard on the hook log root, check that node and jq resolve for the hooks, detect retired conventions, and explain how to change the options through Claude Code. Use when: 'set up harness-ops', 'configure harness-ops', 'harness-ops setup', 'where does the known-issues registry live', 'where is skill usage...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupVerify the rate-limit-guard plugin's wiring on this machine: jq, node, the installed statusline shim, statusline wiring (including legacy version-pinned plugin-cache paths), tee freshness, and the StopFailure hook. Print the exact statusline edit for the operator to apply, and install the statusline shim. Use when: 'set up rate-limit-guard', 'is the rate-limit tee working', 'wire the rate-limit statusline', the tee file is stale, or a consuming loop lane reports guard mode unknown. Actions: c...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- ApplyApply a prior /repo-fleet-hygiene:audit action-plan JSON behind one fleet confirmation: default dry-run re-derives branch/worktree tips and prints the ordered batch; --apply mutates only after interactive confirmation or --yes. Owns batched merged-local-branch deletion with fail-closed OID refresh; cleans merged/prunable/missing worktrees in plan order (branches before worktrees). Opt-in --remote-branches adds per-branch gated deletion of never-PR and closed-unmerged remote branches. Use when...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- AuditCoordinate Git/GitHub hygiene across a cross-repository fleet: discover canonical repositories, collect and roll up cross-repository evidence (including merged remote-tracking heads still on origin), and hand an action plan to repo-hygiene/source-control, which own per-repository cleanup. The current collector is read-only and emits detailed exact handoffs; it never deletes, prunes, repairs, fetches, checks out, or rewrites. Use when: 'audit repositories across a fleet', 'stale branches acros...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupVerify and configure repo-fleet-hygiene for a consumer project. check inspects the optional .claude/repo-fleet-hygiene.conf read-only (presence, parse validity, path resolution); apply creates or updates it by adding bounded fleet roots, exact repositories, and remote-keyed canonical checkout overrides, preserving unrelated entries. Use when: 'set up repo fleet audit', 'is repo-fleet-hygiene configured', 'configure fleet roots', 'canonical repo override', 'dotfiles-manager checkout'. Re-runna...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- CleanRepo hygiene action-router: scan (inventory), caches, build, git (prune/branch audit), stash (stash audit/triage), tree (destructive fresh-pull reset), tree-batch (multi-repo tree reset with skip-list + dirty guard), all, and fleet batch forms of the selective tiers (caches-batch / build-batch / git-batch / all-batch over many repos behind one gate). Bare invocation detects intent from conversation or shows a menu. Dry-run-first; destructive actions require explicit confirmation. Use when rec...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupVerify repo-hygiene's external prerequisites on this machine and report the effective destructive-guard toggle and the scope it actually applies at. The prerequisites are `git`, which the scan, git, stash, and tree tiers and the tracked-file guarantee all rest on, `node`, which launches the destructive guard, and the optional `ghq` the fleet batch actions enumerate repositories from. Use when: 'set up repo-hygiene', 'configure repo-hygiene', 'is repo-hygiene working', 'is the destructive guar...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Code ReviewCI code-review lane for a GitHub pull request. High-signal correctness and maintainability findings only, scoped out of security when a security lane exists. When the bundled code-review skill resolves in this session, prefer it for a session-driven review of the current diff or a named PR; this skill for the CI lane a reusable workflow runs on one PR. Use when: 'CI code review', 'claude-review lane', '/review:code-review', or a reusable workflow invokes the org code-review plugin command.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- FanoutFan out review across many finding-producing surfaces at once, this plugin's reviewer agents, the project's own per-concern review criteria docs, and orchestrator review plugins, then normalize the heterogeneous outputs into one severity-ranked, deduplicated report persisted to disk. Use when asked for a breadth review of a change (every reviewer at once, every angle or side, one combined ranked report), or to 'fix the review findings' (the fix action applies the merged set of persisted findi...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Quality GateSingle-lens review checkpoint between 'code works' and 'code is ready'. Routes to self, code, architecture, security, spec, close-out, downstream, pr, criteria, slice, or restatement mode and delegates to the matching reviewer. Use when the user says 'review this', 'self-review', 'quality gate', 'code review', 'architecture review', 'security review', 'does this match the spec/issue/plan', or 'close-out review' / 'review the container' for a shipped spec container, or after implementation com...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Security ReviewCI security-review lane for a GitHub pull request. Logic, trust-boundary, and Actions security findings static analysis misses. When the plugin-backed built-in security-review command resolves in this session, prefer it for a one-off security pass over the current branch; this skill for the CI lane a reusable workflow runs on one PR. Use when: 'CI security review', 'claude-security-review lane', '/review:security-review', or a reusable workflow invokes the org security-review plugin command.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupConfigure the review plugin for this repository: bootstrap the consumer's standards index per the standards convention, since review criteria resolve through that index, persisting docs/standards/ and, on relocation, .claude/standards.yaml. Use when: 'set up review', 'configure the review plugin', 'review setup', 'set up standards', 'bootstrap the standards index', or a review skill reports a missing or version-skewed standards index. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupVerify the ruff-format hook's runtime prerequisites and configuration for this repository. Use when: 'set up ruff-format', 'configure ruff-format', 'is ruff-format working', formatting silently isn't happening, or the hook reported a missing prerequisite. Actions: check (read-only verification, default) | apply (resolve what check found). Re-runnable and safe.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Clean StopReach a clean stopping point before the machine may go away: sweep every repo and worktree touched for uncommitted, unpushed, or PR-less work, push it, record follow-ups in PR and issue bodies, prune only the provably safe, and give a free-and-clear verdict. Use when: 'clean stop', 'get to a clean stopping point', 'safe to shut down', 'wrap up before I lose this machine', 'make everything durable', 'stopping for the day', 'is anything stranded', 'leave it clean'. Gates destructive cleanup.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Continue In BackgroundDelegate the task to a fresh background agent that continues it NOW. Produce a save-point, then launch a detached claude --bg session seeded with the resume prompt. Use when: 'continue in the background', 'continue this in the background', 'keep working in the background', 'delegate to a background agent', or the user is going AFK and explicitly wants the work to keep moving. Launches only on the user's explicit request, never self-elected.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Find HandoffRecover a lost handoff after `/clear`: find the save-point file or resume prompt. Read-only: checks `MEMORY_DIR/handoffs/`, then a bounded scan of recent transcripts, then confirms before resuming. Use when: 'find my handoff', 'recover the handoff', 'I lost the resume prompt', 'forgot to copy the resume prompt', 'I cleared without saving the prompt', 'where's my handoff', 'recover after /clear', 'get back the handoff'. A session that ended mid-work goes to /session-flow:keep-going.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- HandoffWrite a mid-session save-point for /clear-and-resume: a durable handoff file (default) or a copy-paste resume prompt. Use when: 'handoff', 'save state', 'checkpoint this', 'pause', 'come back later', the session is heavy, a context-measuring mechanism says to fork, or responses are visibly drifting or looping. Never on an estimate of the remaining window. To delegate the continuation to a background agent, use /session-flow:continue-in-background.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Keep GoingRecover and continue after an interruption, rate limit, crash, or gap, or check on off-thread work that looks stalled: inspect its real output, act on evidence (resume, rerun, kill-and-restart), then continue the main task. Use when: asked to keep going, continue, or resume; 'what were you doing'; 'check the monitor', 'is it stuck', 'stop staring at it'. Gates killing or re-firing side-effectful work. To retire finished work and reconcile the ledger instead, use /session-flow:reconcile.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- OrchestrateArm the current session for an orchestration-heavy task with seven standing imperatives (delegate and fan out, spec every spawn, fresh-context verify, run workers well, nested subagents, surface drift, calibrate to conditions); optionally export them as a brief for a worker. Use when: 'orchestrate', 'orchestration brief', 'prime this session', 'arm for orchestration', 'about to do heavy delegation', 'worker spawn prompt', 'delegation preamble'.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- OrientRead-only orientation from durable state: where the session stands and why, from ledgers, handoff save-points, workflow checklists, running-retro ledgers, open PRs and work items, and git, which the built-in /recap never sees. Use when: 'where were we', 'catch me up', 'orient me', 'get my bearings', 'what's the state', 'brief me', 'situation report', 'where do we stand', 'lay of the land'. Writes nothing; freshness checks, recovery, and the next stage belong to sibling skills.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- ReanchorVerify a session's working assumptions still hold: PRs, issues and branches a handoff or plan cites, base-branch drift, renamed or drifted skills and plugins, memory files whose subjects landed. Reports drift on facts, not rules; does not resume. Use when: 'reanchor', 're-anchor', 'is this still current', 'verify my assumptions', 'has main moved since', 'are these premises still valid', 'is the handoff stale', 'resuming an old plan', 'check freshness'. To resume, use /session-flow:keep-going.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- ReconcileRetire finished off-thread work and reconcile the task ledger: inspect each spawned item's real state, close items proven done, report siblings read-only. Gates killing running work. Use when: 'reconcile the session', 'retire finished work', 'square up the task ledger', 'is anything still running that should be retired', 'close out finished tasks', 'prune done work', 'reconcile the ledger'. Stuck is /session-flow:keep-going; status is /session-flow:orient; shutdown is /session-flow:clean-stop.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- RetroRun a structured session retrospective: extract transcript metrics, assess quality across five dimensions, check feedback-memory regressions, and codify learnings durably. Use when: 'retro', 'retrospective', 'what did we learn', 'how did I do', 'codify learnings', 'show trends', or at end of session; modes: session (default), codify, trends, quick.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Running RetroTake a mid-session retro checkpoint: a subagent files findings from the transcript so far into a running ledger, routed, never applied; `arm` runs it after the session ends. Use when: 'running retro', 'live retro', 'in-flight retro', 'checkpoint this session', 'how is this session going', 'observe the session so far', 'arm the observer', 'watch this session in the background', 'observe this session after it ends', or on a /loop interval. Scoring and codifying are /session-flow:retro.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupVerify the session-flow observer's runtime prerequisites and configuration for this machine. Use when: 'set up session-flow', 'configure the observer', 'is the observer working', the SessionStart observer isn't arming, or the observer hook reported a missing prerequisite. Check-only: verifies, reports, and offers each remediation; installs nothing and there is nothing setup may write here. Re-runnable and safe; only the observer substrate has prerequisites, the other skills are zero-config.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Show OptionsLay out which skills fit this moment as a ranked menu that hides nothing: Now, Next, Skipped upstream, Later, and a rotating Spotlight, drawn from the full installed catalog, not the truncated in-context listing. Use when: 'what should I run next', 'what are my options', 'what am I forgetting', 'which skill fits here', 'what else could I run', 'show me my options', 'what skills apply now'. Not the one-next-stage router (/session-flow:workflow) or a situation report (/session-flow:orient).Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- WorkflowNavigate a staged workflow (explore, research, plan, implement, test, review, verify, retro): suggest the next stage and route the end-of-phase continuation (continue, clear, handoff, background, clean-stop, compact). Use when: 'workflow', 'what step am I on', 'what comes next', 'pre-pr sequence', 'wrap up', 'how should I continue', 'clear or compact', at session start or a phase boundary, or when the next step is unclear. For a ranked menu of every fitting skill, use /session-flow:show-options.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- CheckSkill-authoring QA for Claude Code skills. Use when: 'check this skill', 'skill quality', 'lint my skill', 'is this SKILL.md valid', 'validate skill frontmatter', 'check skill before publishing', 'validate evals.json', 'shared listing budget', 'is the skill listing overflowing', or before shipping a skill or plugin. Actions: `check [SKILL-NAME|ROOT ...]` runs a twenty-six-check static contract gate over one skill, or over every skill under each given root, and reports PASS/FAIL with warnings;...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- SetupVerify where this repository's skills live for skill-quality, the resolved skills_root, and explain how to change the personal skills_root option through Claude Code. Use when: 'set up skill-quality', 'configure skill-quality', or the checker reports a missing skills directory. Check-only: verifies, reports, and prints reconfiguration guidance; there is nothing setup may write here. Re-runnable and safe.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Co WriteRun a co-writing session and generate titles and high-volume options with Pat Pattison's methods, the No-Free-Zone co-write protocol and feedback discipline, the Title Game (chained vowel-cascade title generation), title generation from an idea, and high-volume brainstorm dumps for ONE line or ONE section. Use when: 'co-write tonight', 'co-write rules', 'no-free-zone', 'Title Game', '10 titles fast', 'title candidates for X', 'give me 30 options for this line', 'brainstorm the whole chorus'. ...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- DiagnoseReview, audit, and rewrite a lyric with Pat Pattison's methods. Demo review at any completion stage, full-draft diagnosis against the five compositional elements and stable/unstable analysis, the pre-lock line/section audit checklist (tools, not gates), labeled variations across six axes, and critique-driven rewrite. Use when: 'what's wrong with my song', 'review my draft', 'is this any good', 'review this demo', 'audit this line before I lock it', 'give me 5 versions of line 3', 'rewrite thi...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- MetaphorGenerate and diagnose metaphor with Pat Pattison's methods, the three types (expressed identity, qualifying, verbal), the three expressed-identity forms, collision drills (noun×verb, noun×noun, adjective×noun), playing in keys (fundamental → diatonic family → collisions), the two metaphor-finder questions, participles, transitive vs intransitive, simile as focus control, and grounded-metaphor diagnosis. Use when: 'I need a metaphor for X', 'generate metaphor options', 'metaphor or simile here...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
- Meter ProsodyScan lines and make structure serve meaning with Pat Pattison's methods. Meter (scansion, Paradigms I/II/III, Pentad, Goldilocks, the 'into' rule, In Memoriam quatrain, pitch-stress), prosody (motion-emotion, greedy spots, tone-of-voice, three phrasing types), section stability (stable/unstable scan), and lyric-melody alignment. Use when: 'scan this line', 'can this be common meter', 'is this verse stable or unstable', 'my words don't fit the music', 'greedy spot in line 2', 'set lyrics to th...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 13
