Create Claude-style local HTML artifacts under global ~/.agents/artifacts. Use for artifact requests, variations/options croquis, feature plans, thinking docs, prototypes, visualizations, dashboards, diagrams, or substantial reusable content. Pair with use-style.
Apply named visual style guides to landing pages, app shells, and UI. Use for $use-style, /useskill, list styles, or styles like ios-app, grid, vercel, black-grid, stripe, linear, raycast, gumroad, dusk, or luma.
Expert guidance for creating, building, and using Claude Code agents and the Task tool. Use when working with agents, setting up agent configurations, understanding how agents work, or using the Task tool to launch specialized agents.
Systematic implementation using APEX methodology (Analyze-Plan-Execute-eXamine) with parallel agents, self-validation, and optional adversarial review. Use when implementing features, fixing bugs, or making code changes that benefit from structured workflow.
Interact with App Store Connect via the asc CLI - apps, builds, TestFlight, beta testers, reviews, sales/analytics, metadata, IAP, signing, submissions. Use for "check my app", "App Store Connect", "TestFlight status", "app review", "my app sales", or "asc".
Set up per-worktree environments for Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. Use for worktree-ready repos, IDE environment config, worktree-up/down scripts, or dev.sh wiring.
