kn-commit

Use when committing code changes with proper conventional commit format and verification

kn-decision

Use when creating, triaging, promoting, or superseding a System Decision - the durable project guidance other skills enforce

kn-doc

Use when working with Knowns documentation - viewing, searching, creating, or updating docs

kn-flow

Use when orchestrating a full Knowns spec or task wave through planning, implementation, review, integration, and verification, optionally using sub-agents when scopes are parallel-safe.

kn-handoff

Use when a feature crosses repository boundaries and one side must hand work to the other - generates a self-contained frontend-to-backend brief or backend-to-frontend API contract

kn-implement

Use when implementing a task - follow the plan, check ACs, track progress

kn-init

Use at the start of a new session to read project docs, understand context, and see current state

kn-spec

Use when creating a specification document for a feature (SDD workflow)

kn-template

Use when generating code from templates - list, run, or create templates

kn-test

Use when turning a spec's Scenarios and acceptance criteria into tests, and reporting which criteria no test proves

kn-verify

Use when running SDD verification and coverage reporting

kn-review

Use when reviewing implemented code before committing — multi-perspective review with severity-based findings

kn-research

Use when you need to understand existing code, find patterns, search project knowledge, investigate current external facts, or explore a large codebase before implementation

kn-debug

Use when debugging errors, test failures, build issues, or blocked tasks — structured triage to fix to learn

kn-go

Use only when the user explicitly wants the legacy no-review-gates pipeline for an approved spec; prefer kn-flow for normal spec orchestration

kn-plan

Use when creating an implementation plan for a task

kn-extract

Use when extracting reusable patterns, decisions, failures, or knowledge into documentation
