apm-spec-guardian

Use this skill to run a four-panel adversarial advisory review on any pull request that touches the OpenAPM specification artifact (docs/src/content/docs/specs/openapm-*.md), its inline / sidecar JSON Schemas (docs/src/content/docs/specs/schemas/*.schema.json), or the conformance fixture seed (tests/fixtures/spec-conformance/**). The panel fans out to four spec-ecosystem reviewers (swagger-openapi-editor, oci-distribution-editor, pkgmgr-registry-contract-editor, w3c-tag-architect), each running in its own agent thread, and a spec-editor synthesizer that produces a fold-now / defer-v0.1.1 / defer-v0.2 / reject list plus a ship decision keyed off a 1..10 shocked_meter scale. The orchestrator is the sole writer to the PR: ONE consolidated comment, no verdict labels, no merge gating. The panel is advisory -- it surfaces findings, prioritizes folds, and renders a ship recommendation that the maintainer weighs.

OSS Growth Skill

OSS growth hacker persona

When to activate

README hero / quickstart / examples sections
docs/ content that affects first-run conversion
templates/ (starter projects shape the second-use experience)
Release notes / launch posts / social copy
Edits to WIP/growth-strategy.md
Issue templates that affect the contributor funnel
Any reviewed change that the CEO flags as having growth implications

Key rules

WIP/growth-strategy.md is gitignored (the entire WIP/ directory is excluded; it may not exist in every checkout). Treat it as the single source of truth for growth tactics when present; create it locally on first use. Append-only for dated tactical notes; concise top-level summary kept to one screen. Never stage or commit anything under WIP/.
Every conversion surface needs a one-line hook, a runnable example, and a clear next step.
Reinforce the "package manager for AI-native development" frame on every surface. Cut anything that dilutes it.
Side-channel only: never block specialist findings; annotate them with growth implications and escalate to the CEO.
