Rewrites robotic or AI-sounding text to feel natural while preserving meaning and voice. Use when humanizing or reviewing generated, over-polished, repetitive, or impersonal prose. Covers 24 wording patterns and 14 construction patterns.
Writes, rewrites, drafts, or reviews text in Lachlan's written and spoken voice. Use when the user asks to "talk like me" or "sound like me", or needs Slack replies, emails, leadership notes, technical feedback, customer or strategy messages, meeting comments, or talking points that match Lachlan's directness, dry humour, and evidence-first engineering judgement.
Iteratively review and improve the current PR or branch by running general-code-reviewing, fixing grounded issues, validating, and re-reviewing until the change is merge-ready or a blocker remains. Use when asked to auto-review, self-review and fix, harden, polish, get a PR ready, or iterate on code quality rather than only return review comments.
Draft and revise durable engineering plans. Use for `docs/plans`, architecture, rollout, design docs, first-slice selection, open-question resolution, adversarial pressure-testing, and plan maintenance during implementation.
Run the full code-to-merged-PR workflow: auto-review the current branch or PR, create or update a GitHub PR, babysit it through reviews and CI, merge it, and report the final state. Use when asked to land a PR, land this, ship this branch, get this into a PR and merge it, or otherwise carry code from local changes or a current branch to a merged PR.
Read x.com/twitter.com posts, tweets, quote tweets, and user-provided post URLs through the authenticated xurl CLI, with Birdclaw as the local cache and research fallback. Use when asked to read, summarize, inspect, quote, fetch, or explain an X/Twitter post URL or status ID; when the user says to use their Twitter account; or when read-only Twitter/X context should come from xurl or Birdclaw instead of web search.
Operate Birdclaw, the local-first Twitter/X memory CLI and web app backed by SQLite, plus xurl for direct X API reads. Use when asked to read x.com/twitter.com post URLs or post IDs, set up or troubleshoot Birdclaw, inspect its local store, sync or read bookmarks/likes/mentions/timelines/DMs, use xurl or bird transports, import a Twitter archive, start the local Birdclaw UI, or build bookmark research briefs.
Write, review, and optimize high-performance Zig codebases with measurement-first workflow, Ghostty and Mitchell Hashimoto-inspired patterns, cache-aware struct layout, allocator and pool design, comptime specialization, SIMD/scalar fast paths, C ABI boundaries, and regression checks. Use when Codex is working on `.zig` changes where throughput, latency, startup time, memory use, cache behavior, parser/rendering loops, atomics, allocators, binary size, or layout-sensitive code matter.
