Track session intent and progress against GitHub Issues, and write every GitHub-bound prose body (issue, comment, description, progress update) in the chalk voice. Use when the user says "chalk
Write or update a technical documentation page in the chalk voice, structured around Diataxis. Use when the user says "tend the docs", "update the docs", "write a docs page", "document this feature", "add a how-to for X", "/chalk:tend-docs", or references adding/editing an end-user-facing docs page in a technical project.
Create a commit with a contextual body explaining the why, in the chalk voice. Use when the user says "commit this", "commit", "make a commit", "/chalk:commit"; OR is about to compose, draft, write or amend any git commit message body (e.g. "write a commit message", "draft the commit body", "amend the commit message"). Load this skill BEFORE drafting any such prose — it carries the voice guidance the commit body needs.
Create a pull request with a description that captures the intent and reasoning behind the change, in the chalk voice. Use when the user says "create a PR", "open a PR", "submit a PR", "raise a PR", "make a PR", "PR this", "/chalk:pr"; OR is about to compose, draft, write or update any pull request title or body (e.g. "write a PR description", "draft the PR body", "update the PR description", "let's put that in the PR"). Load this skill BEFORE drafting any such prose — it carries the voice guidance the PR body needs.
Build or query a code-only symbol and call-graph map of the current project, via LSP. Use when exploring an unfamiliar codebase, locating a symbol's definition, tracing what calls or is called by a function, assessing the blast radius of a proposed change, or navigating code beyond what grep alone can reveal. Produces a JSON map under .codemap/ at the project root. Skip for trivial lookups and single-file edits.
Audit technical documentation for drift against a code change. Produce a punch list of user-facing docs pages that probably need updating. Use when the user says "weed the docs", "check docs for drift", "audit docs against this diff", "which docs does this change affect", "/chalk:weed-docs", or is about to open a PR and wants a docs-impact check.
