Use when working on Gentoo ebuilds, overlays, eclasses, Manifest files, metadata.xml, pkgdev, pkgcheck, ebuild QA, version bumps, new packages, package reviews, or Gentoo package pull requests.
Unavailable archived skill. Do not use to initialize, continue, repair, or manage long-running projects across sessions; retained only for historical reference and postmortem analysis.
Evidence-backed visual repository analysis for understanding codebases, creating concise Mermaid architecture/flow diagrams, mapping components and runtime/data paths, identifying hotspots, and producing repository-informed improvement opportunities. Use when the user asks to analyze a repository, understand a codebase, generate architecture diagrams, create a visual repo report, find high-value improvement directions, or prepare context for later design/planning work.
Use across bugs, code changes, reviews, architecture, product decisions, writing, research, and general problem solving when the user presents a visible issue, example, proposal, or decision. MUST apply Locez Lens as a lightweight scope and judgment calibration before answering or changing anything.
Use when creating or refactoring a skill for a complex multi-step task, especially when an existing skill has an overloaded main prompt, unclear sub-agent responsibilities, repeated human confirmations, missing intermediate artifacts, weak validation, or a need to turn domain-specific work such as data cleaning into a structured workflow skill.
Use when bumping, removing, or reconciling nvchecker-tracked packages in locez-overlay, especially when deciding whether a package is release-managed, live-only, or no longer maintained
Use when handling Portage conflicts, @world upgrades, /etc/portage cleanup, binpkg tradeoffs, or deciding where Gentoo maintenance rules and local host preferences should live
