Review and batch-merge open Dependabot pull requests. Only invoke explicitly with /dependabot-review. Lists all open Dependabot PRs, analyzes each for security and compatibility concerns, presents a plan with approval comments, then approves and merges safe PRs on user confirmation.

Plan implementation for a GitHub issue. Use this skill whenever the user pastes a GitHub issue URL (e.g., https://github.com/org/repo/issues/123), mentions a GitHub issue number in the context of a repo, or asks to plan work for a bug, PBI, or feature tracked in GitHub Issues. Also trigger when the user says things like 'plan this issue', 'look at this bug', or provides a GitHub link with minimal other instructions — the intent is almost always 'fetch the issue, understand the codebase, and give me a plan'. Even a bare URL with no other text should trigger this skill.

Review and remediate GitHub security alerts (Dependabot, code scanning, secret scanning). Only invoke explicitly with /github-security-alerts. Analyzes open alerts, categorizes as fix or dismiss with reasoning, groups fixes into issues sized for independent agent work, and handles public repo safety.

Evidence-backed pull request review. Use when the user gives a PR URL, branch, or diff range and asks to validate it works, find concerns/risks, sanity-check an implementation, or decide whether it's safe to approve — especially when they supply a brief to validate against. Inspects the live PR via gh, reads the surrounding code, runs targeted validation, and produces a durable branded HTML artifact plus a concise findings summary. Do not use for fixing PR review comments (use pr-resolve-comments) or autopilot merge flows (use pr-autopilot) unless explicitly asked.

Create a new release for ide. Use when the user says "create a release", "new release", "cut a release", or "ship it".

Add, gate on, remove, or promote a local feature flag in the ide app. Use when the user says "/feature-flags", "add a feature flag", "put this behind a flag", "remove a flag", "make this always on", "promote a flag to a setting", or "preview feature". The concepts live in docs/development.md; this skill is the step-by-step procedure for each lifecycle operation, including the exact files to touch and the order to touch them.

Analyze a new product or application feature idea, create a reviewable feature analysis artifact, then turn the approved artifact into GitHub backlog issues/PBIs. Use when Gordon invokes "/new-feature", says "new feature", gives a rough feature idea, asks to break down a feature request, or wants feature PBIs/issues created. Do not use for bugfix-only work, release creation, dependency-only maintenance, or direct implementation after an existing issue is already selected.

Refresh the committed README snapshots and downloaded images that back the /projects/<slug> detail pages. Use when Gordon runs /refresh-projects, says "refresh project readmes", "update the project READMEs", or "pull the latest README for <project>". Also worth suggesting before a projects-page release if any content/project-readmes/*.md file is more than a week old.

Generate or refresh sidecar YAML metadata for xylem nugget HTML files and inject the iframe resize shim. Use when Gordon runs /update-nuggets, says "update nuggets", "generate nugget metadata", or points at specific .html files in content/nuggets/. Also use before committing in xylem when any content/nuggets/*.html has no matching .yaml sidecar.

Create a new release for SSMSx. Use when the user says "create a release", "new release", "cut a release", "ship it", or asks to publish SSMSx.

Use this skill to generate well-branded interfaces and assets for SSMSx (a fast, cross-platform SQL Server Management Studio replacement), either for production or throwaway prototypes/mocks/etc. Contains essential design guidelines, colors, type, fonts, assets, and UI kit components for prototyping.

Manage technology preferences — add, update, or view personal preferences for technologies and stack combinations. Use when the user says "always use...", "prefer...", "for X projects use Y", or asks to see/edit their tech preferences.

Deep-researches a technology topic and caches knowledge. Use when the knowledge cache has no fresh entry for a technology needed for the current task.

Create a new release for ClaudeBar. Use when the user says "create a release", "new release", "cut a release", "ship it", or wants to bump/publish a ClaudeBar version.

Create a new draft release for Insomnia. Use when the user says "create a release", "new release", "cut a release", or "ship it".

Create a new release for CodexBar. Use when the user says "create a release", "new release", "cut a release", "ship it", or wants to bump/publish a CodexBar version.

Publish and verify a signed MyTerm macOS release. Use only when Gordon explicitly asks to create, cut, publish, or ship a MyTerm release.

Create a new draft release for vista. Use when the user says "create a release", "new release", "cut a release", or "ship it".

Cut a new SPECS release. Use when the user says "create a release", "new release", "cut a release", or "ship it".
