Task implementation skill for spec-driven workflows. Reads specifications, identifies next actionable tasks, and creates detailed execution plans. Use when ready to implement a task from an existing spec - bridges the gap between planning and coding. TRIGGER when: user explicitly asks to implement, continue work, or pick up the next task from a spec (e.g., "what's next", "continue", "implement"). Never call mcp task/spec tools directly for task workflow operations. DO NOT TRIGGER when: a <command-name> tag is present in the current turn (skill already loaded), called from a subagent, or model decides on its own that implementation should start.

AI-powered research skill with five workflows - chat (single-model conversation), consensus (multi-model synthesis), thinkdeep (systematic investigation), ideate (creative brainstorming), and deep (multi-phase web research). Supports persistent threads and research sessions. TRIGGER when: user asks for research, consultation, brainstorming, investigation, or deep research. Always route through this skill — never call mcp__plugin_foundry_foundry-mcp__research directly. DO NOT TRIGGER when: a <command-name> tag is present in the current turn (skill already loaded), called from a subagent, simple factual questions answerable from context, or codebase exploration (use Explore agent instead).

Spec-first development methodology that creates detailed specifications before coding. Creates structured specs with phases, file-level details, and verification steps. Includes automatic AI review, modification application, and validation. TRIGGER when: user explicitly asks to create a spec or plan, OR model detects work that would benefit from a spec (new feature, multi-file refactor, API integration, architecture change) — in the latter case, confirm with the user before invoking. Never call mcp authoring/spec/plan tools directly for spec creation workflows. DO NOT TRIGGER when: a <command-name> tag is present in the current turn (skill already loaded), called from a subagent, single-file edits, trivial fixes, or exploratory spikes.

Review implementation fidelity against specifications by comparing actual code to spec requirements. Identifies deviations, assesses impact, and generates compliance reports for tasks, phases, or entire specs.
