Use before any release to kernel.chat or npm publish of kbot. Six gates, each must pass. Skipping a gate is how regressions ship.

Based on SOC occupation classification
Creates distinctive editorial art direction for kernel.chat issues before implementation. Use when choosing an issue's visual concept, typography, composition, cover system, media grammar, responsive transformation, or motion intent; when a page feels generic or lacks character; or when original image and video assets need one coherent visual language.
Audits kernel.chat pages for responsive visual craft, accessibility, motion safety, interaction truth, runtime health, and production rendering. Use when reviewing an issue or artifact, checking whether a design is finished, comparing desktop and mobile, validating reduced motion or print, finding overflow and broken media, or proving that a published route matches the build.
Guides the design, layout, styling, and interactivity of kernel.chat editorial spreads and standalone artifact editions. Use this skill when editing or creating pages, React components, CSS files, or single-file HTML artifacts in the kernel.chat project to enforce the POPEYE-inspired bilingual design grammar and the interaction-language/artifact-language laws.
Use this skill to generate well-branded editorial interfaces and assets for kernel.chat ("Magazine for City Coders" — an independent magazine that is an unnamed homage to POPEYE), either for production or throwaway prototypes/mocks/etc. Contains essential design guidelines, colors, type, fonts, assets, and editorial UI components for prototyping.
Hand off a model from Blender (via BlenderMCP) into Unity (via MCP for Unity) — export the current Blender model, import it through import_model_file, and place it in the open scene. Use when the user has BlenderMCP and MCP for Unity both connected and wants to bring a Blender model into Unity. Does NOT drive Blender's own generators; BlenderMCP owns how the model got into Blender.
Generate images/videos/3D assets/audio via Higgsfield AI. Defaults: GPT Image 2 for image/design/text, Seedance 2.0 for video, Nano Banana 2/Lite/Pro for character/reference images, Marketing Studio for ads, Seed Audio 1.0 for audio. Use when: "generate an image", "make a video", "animate this photo", "image-to-video", "edit/stylize/remix this image", "reframe this video", "edit this video from a sketch", "create a 3D model/GLB", "create a sound effect", "make music", "text-to-audio", "create an ad", "make a UGC video", "unboxing", "presenter video", "import product from URL", or "analyze video virality". Supports image-to-3D (`multi_image_to_3d`), text-to-audio/music (`seed_audio`), workflow generation (`draw_to_video`, `reframe`), Marketing Studio, and Virality Predictor (`brain_activity`). Chain with higgsfield-soul-id for face/identity consistency. NOT for: Soul Character training (use higgsfield-soul-id), product photoshoots, marketplace listing cards, text/chat/TTS tasks.

Six gates, in order. Each must be green before the next runs. The /ship slash command executes them; you can run them manually when investigating.
NO GATE SKIPS. NO REORDERING. NO "I'LL RUN IT AFTER DEPLOY."
A gate that's inconvenient is a gate that's catching something. Skipping is how regressions ship to 4,800 weekly-download users.

They're sequential because later gates depend on earlier ones passing (no point running design checks on a build that won't compile). The serial wait is the feature.
Every deploy must have one. For kernel.chat: previous gh-pages tag. For kbot: npm deprecate @kernel.chat/kbot@<version> + publish a patched version. Know the rollback before shipping, not after breaking.
