skills

Install agent skills project-locally with the skills CLI. Use when adding or refreshing locked skills in `skills-lock.json`, or when a user names a skill source to install into the current repository.

Scaffold a new repository to the Patina Project baseline, or realign or audit an existing repository against that baseline (commit + PR rules, husky + commitlint, PNPM tooling, agent docs). Use when the user says "scaffold this repo", "realign with the baseline", "audit our repo conventions", or "set up commitlint and husky".

Loops a Codex app worktree on an existing PR's review feedback. Use when a Codex app chat should keep iterating on a pull request after its first successful push.

Drive one scope — a GitHub issue reference, free-form instructions, or both — to an evidence-backed production-ready PR outcome on its branch. Use when the user invokes `/develop <scope>`, or asks to develop one issue or one set of instructions end to end.

Build one scope — a GitHub issue reference, free-form instructions, or both — into one converged branch by decomposing it into independent vertical slices and building them in parallel with the Claude Workflow tool. Use when you deliberately want a scope's independent slices built in parallel and converged onto one branch instead of building it serially.

Ready a branch for human review with two ordered settle-phases — deepen its architecture, then review it to green. Use when finishing issue work before a PR, when readying any branch for review on its own, or when a controller skill needs the pre-PR quality gate.

GitHub work in a Patina-conventions repository. Use when creating or editing an issue, routing issue-linked branch or PR work, rendering a milestone changelog, or handling PR review feedback.

Finish completed branch work into a ready-to-merge pull request. Use when development is complete, when the user says finish PR, publish this branch, or open a ready PR, or when an agent has objective evidence the branch is ready for review.

Align GitHub state to the fact you are working an issue: resolve the issue from a reference or the current branch, then land on its branch and mark it started. Use as the shared begin/resume step whenever a controller works a scope that may map to an issue.

Run the release ceremony — draft a community changelog and close the loop on the product-feedback items a release resolved. Use when a release just shipped and you want to write its changelog and tell the people whose feedback it resolved, or when the user says "write the release changelog", "close the loop on feedback", or "run the release ceremony".

Update the current local work branch by merging the latest base or default branch with pure git and no push. Use when the user invokes `/update-branch`, says "update branch", or asks to merge the base or default branch into this branch.

Branch for a GitHub issue locally from the repository default branch, named in GitHub's issue-branch style. Use when starting issue-linked work, or when an agent must move onto the correct issue branch before implementation.

Capture an already-settled design into CONTEXT.md glossary terms and ADRs. Use when the user says "write the docs for this", "capture this in CONTEXT.md", or "record this decision as an ADR".
