Use to audit test quality with Google Fellow SRE scrutiny - identifies tautological tests, coverage gaming, weak assertions, missing corner cases. Creates bd epic with tasks for improvements, then runs SRE task refinement on each.

Use when creating or developing anything, before writing code - refines rough ideas into bd epics with immutable requirements

Use when creating Claude Code hooks - covers hook patterns, composition, testing, progressive enhancement from simple to advanced

Use when encountering bugs or test failures - systematic debugging using debuggers, internet research, and agents to find root cause before fixing

Use when facing 3+ independent failures that can be investigated without shared state or dependencies - dispatches multiple agents to investigate and fix independent problems concurrently

Execute entire bd epic autonomously via subagent-per-task dispatch loop. Setup, dispatch subagent per task, end-of-epic review, branch completion.

Use to execute bd tasks iteratively - executes one task, reviews learnings, creates/refines next task, then STOPS for user review before continuing

Use when implementation complete and tests pass - closes bd epic, presents integration options (merge/PR/keep/discard), executes choice

Use when encountering a bug - complete workflow from discovery through debugging, bd issue, test-driven fix, verification, and closure

Use for advanced bd operations - splitting tasks mid-flight, merging duplicates, changing dependencies, archiving epics, querying metrics, cross-epic dependencies

Use when refactoring code - test-preserving transformations in small steps, running tests between each change

Use after /skill:executing-plans completes all tasks - verifies implementation against bd spec, all success criteria met, anti-patterns avoided

Use when errors occur deep in execution - traces bugs backward through call stack to find original trigger, not just symptom

Use when skills aren't activating reliably - covers official solutions (better descriptions) and custom hook system for deterministic skill activation

Use when you have to refine subtasks into actionable plans ensuring that all corner cases are handled and we understand all the requirements.

Use when implementing features or fixing bugs - enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle requiring tests to fail before writing code

Use when writing or changing tests, adding mocks - prevents testing mock behavior, production pollution with test-only methods, and mocking without understanding dependencies

Use when starting any conversation - establishes mandatory workflows for finding and using skills

Use before claiming work complete, fixed, or passing - requires running verification commands and confirming output; evidence before assertions always

Use to expand bd tasks with detailed implementation steps - adds exact file paths, complete code, verification commands assuming zero context

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work - applies TDD to documentation by testing with subagents before writing

Use when you want to spawn a specialized subagent using the standard XPowers agent prompts (test-runner, code-reviewer, codebase-investigator, internet-researcher, test-effectiveness-analyst).

Use when the original skill 'execute-ralph-cc' applies. Execute entire bd epic autonomously via ScheduleWakeup task-per-turn loop. Claude Code only. No stop hooks. One task per turn, state recovered from bd/tm on each wake-up.

Execute entire bd epic autonomously via ScheduleWakeup task-per-turn loop. Claude Code only. No stop hooks. One task per turn, state recovered from bd/tm on each wake-up.
