Use when creating charts, plots, graphs, diagrams, heatmaps, visualizations from data, or when choosing between matplotlib/seaborn/graphviz. Also triggers for network diagrams, flowcharts, dependency trees, state machines, and entity-relationship diagrams. For interactive browser-rendered charts or uploaded data exploration, defer to charting-vega-lite instead.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 150
- Closing IssuesClose a GitHub issue with a synthesis comment as a flowing graph — validate the synthesis, post the closing comment, close, then run a pluggable callback (e.g. memory store) detached. Use when closing an issue should also capture the LEARNING (not just the diff log) and when the post-close work shouldn't block the close ack.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 150

Use when someone says "what does this do", "document features", "feature inventory", "_FEATURES.md", or needs to understand a codebase's purpose before modifying it. Complements ...Votes: 0GitHub stars: 150
- Finding SkillsDiscover and load skills on demand from /mnt/skills/user/. Use when you need a capability but don't know which skill provides it, when the boot-emitted skill list is names-only and you need a full description, or when you want to list the catalog. Verbs are list (names only), search (rank by name/description match against a query), and show (emit the full SKILL.md for a named skill).Votes: 0GitHub stars: 150
- FlowingDAG workflow runner that encodes control flow in code, not prose. Use when a procedure has 3+ steps with branching, retries, or validation that must be enforced — gates as `when=`, edge contracts as `validate=`, predicate loops as `retry_until=`. The runner owns the graph; the LLM provides leaves. Also covers parallel execution, checkpoint resume, detached side-effects.Votes: 0GitHub stars: 150
