Author, validate, and package grim-publishable artifacts โ skill directories, rule files, agent definitions, MCP server descriptors, and bundle TOMLs. Use when creating or editing an artifact for grim build or grim release; when choosing frontmatter or catalog metadata fields; when adding claude, opencode, copilot, codex, cursor, kiro, junie, gemini, zed, or amp vendor keys; or when grim build fails validation with exit code 65.
Drive the grim CLI โ the OCI package manager for AI skills, rules, agents, and bundles. Use when installing, updating, searching, or publishing AI-config artifacts with grim; when composing grim init, config, add, lock, install, update, status, context, fetch, describe, search, tui, mcp, build, release, publish, login, logout, or completions commands; when configuring settings, multiple registries, or qualified alias/repo references; or when resolving registries, project vs global scope, client targets, or offline mode.
Craft effective AI agent configuration โ skills, rules, agents, and instructions โ for any AI coding client. Use when writing or reviewing a SKILL.md, rule file, or agent definition; when deciding between a skill, rule, hook, or always-on instruction; when a config file grows past its context budget; or when a skill description fails to trigger.
Use for branch, PR, or diff review before landing on main. Tier (`low | auto | high | max`) scales breadth from single reviewer to adversarial panel with architect + SOTA-gap + Codex cross-model gate. Triggers: "review", "/swarm-review", pre-merge checks.
Use when the user says "codex review", "/codex-adversary", "adversarial review", "cross-model review", or asks for a different-model second opinion on a diff or plan artifact. Complements `/swarm-review` via Codex-CLI. Scopes: code-diff (default), plan-artifact (gate for `/swarm-plan`).
Use to implement a plan artifact from `/swarm-plan`, or a free-text implementation task with contract-first TDD + Review-Fix Loop. Tier (`low | auto | high | max`) scales builder model, loop rounds, review breadth, and Codex code-diff gate.
Use for feature planning, task decomposition, multi-perspective research, or ADR scaffolding. Tier (`low | auto | high | max`) scales research depth, architect model, and review breadth. Canonical research primitive for AI config / ADR work.
Use when the user says "finalize", "/finalize", "prepare this branch for main", "clean up history", "squash the branch", or landing a branch on `main`. Rewrites Checkpoint working-phase commits into clean Conventional Commits before fast-forward merge. Flags: `--squash-all`, `--dry-run`.
