Use when a dependency update needs assessing before adoption. Covers a user asking whether to upgrade a package to a new version, a manual version bump, a lockfile change under review, or a bot-opened update PR (Renovate, Dependabot, or similar). Also fires on "is version X worth adopting", "what does this update change for us", or "review this dependency bump". Do NOT use to apply the update, fix a broken build, or replace an abandoned dependency.
This skill should be used when the user asks to 'read this page', 'what does this URL say', 'fetch this article', 'summarize this PDF', or 'get the transcript of this video', or when web content is needed as context for another task. Fetches web pages, PDF/Word/PowerPoint/Excel/EPUB documents, and YouTube videos as clean Markdown via PullMD. Also a fallback when the host's native web research returns poor or noisy results. Do NOT use for GitHub URLs (use gh), Reddit URLs, or JSON API endpoints.
Use when a task will be executed or reviewed through dispatched workers — before the first codex dispatch, subagent spawn, or workflow run of any implementation or review task.
Use when the user explicitly asks to set up, install, configure, wire up, or create the code-comment-writer plugin's extension for the current project. Do not activate as a side effect of a code-comment-writing task.
Use when the user explicitly asks to set up, install, configure, wire up, or create the commit-message-writer plugin's extension for the current project. Do not activate as a side effect of a commit-message-writing task.
Use when the user explicitly asks to set up, install, configure, wire up, or re-sync the subagent-orchestrator plugin's extension for the current project. Do not activate as a side effect of an orchestration task.
Use when writing or editing implementation code — any change that adds, modifies, or removes logic, signatures, or comments on the lines being written. Do NOT activate for retrospective cleanup or audits of existing comments (the code-comment-writer plugin owns those) or for test files and their fixtures (the writing-tests skill owns those).
Use when writing or editing a repository documentation surface — a README, an architecture document, a CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md pointer file, or a surface the project has registered. Do NOT activate for code comments, commit messages, or PR descriptions.
