Use when initializing or maintaining agent-friendly repo context, setting up AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md, adding local rules, defining verification commands, or checking whether context files are stale.
Use when the user asks to run workflow:ship, ship a branch, publish a feature branch, open and merge a PR, or push/PR/merge/cleanup completed work.
Use when the user asks to run workflow:commit, create a commit, make a git commit, stage changes, write a commit message, or prepare local changes for shipping.
Turn any rough prompt, half-formed idea, or task description into a finished, ready-to-send prompt optimized for Opus 4.7 (with adaptive thinking) inside the chat app — claude.ai, the Mac app, the iOS app — NOT the API. Use this skill whenever the user wants to write, rewrite, optimize, improve, sharpen, or polish a prompt for the chat app. Trigger phrases include "rewrite this prompt", "make this a better prompt", "optimize this prompt", "turn this into a prompt", "help me prompt this", "draft a prompt that...", "I want to ask...", or whenever the user pastes a draft prompt and asks for improvements. Also trigger when the user describes a task they plan to send into the chat app and clearly wants a reusable, well-structured prompt rather than a direct answer. The output is always a single, copy-pasteable prompt in a code block that the user sends as-is — never a template with placeholders. Always ends with the exact line "Think before answering (maximum reasoning)".
Entry point for new work. Determines the best action path or work decomposition (update existing spec, create new spec, mixed decomposition, or no spec needed) and refines ideas through structured dialogue.
Pre-discovery intent exploration for genuinely vague ideas. Use when the user pitches an idea where the real user-need, problem framing, or core assumptions are unclear — before /kiro-discovery. Delegates to the intent-explorer skill, which produces .kiro/specs/<slug>/intent-spec.md. The output is auto-detected by /kiro-discovery and downstream spec skills, so the user does not need to pass intent context as an argument. Skip this skill entirely when the user already has a clear problem statement.
Structured six-hats thinking sessions for debating decisions. Use when user says "six hats", "six hats debate", or wants to explore a decision through six colored-perspective lenses in sequential rounds with a final recommendation.
Use this skill when generating AI-agent-friendly documentation for a git repo or directory, answering questions about a codebase from existing docs, or incrementally updating documentation after code changes. Triggers on codedocs:generate, codedocs:ask, codedocs:update, "document this codebase", "generate docs for this repo", "what does this project do", "update the docs after my changes", or any task requiring structured codebase documentation that serves AI agents, developers, and new team members.
