This skill should be used for advanced LLM evaluation: LLM-as-judge systems, direct scoring, pairwise comparison, rubric calibration, evaluator bias mitigation, confidence scoring, and automated quality assessment.
Automated end-to-end UI testing and verification on an Android Emulator using ADB.
This skill should be used when modeling agent mental states with BDI concepts: beliefs, desires, intentions, RDF-to-belief transformations, rational agency traces, cognitive agents, BDI ontologies, and neuro-symbolic AI integration.
Build a premium cinematic landing page with mouse-scrub video hero and brand-driven narrative-arc sections. Use whenever the user provides a hero video plus a product / subject / brand and wants a landing page, promo site, product showcase, marketing page, or storytelling site. Works for any language and any subject. The signature effect is mouse-driven video scrubbing — the hero video lives across the entire page as a fixed backdrop, and moving the mouse left-right scrubs the video timeline so the subject responds to the cursor. Below the hero, 4-5 fully-opaque sections each carry their own brand identity (color, typography emphasis, layout pattern) and walk the viewer through a narrative arc (e.g. longing -> joy -> nostalgia -> contemplation -> action). Do NOT use for parallax frame-scrub landings where the page itself doesn't scroll (use parallax-landing-page instead) or for video editing / captioning workflows (use video-edit).
Convert frontend code (Vite, React, etc.) to a Stitch Design by chaining static HTML extraction, design system extraction, and file upload. **ALWAYS** use this skill when the user's intent is to move existing web apps or React components into Stitch (e.g., requests to "save", "migrate", or "upload"). You must use this skill even for simple "save" operations, as it is the only way to ensure the design system is extracted and assets are properly linked.
This skill should be used for diagnosing and mitigating context degradation: lost-in-middle failures, context poisoning, context clash, context confusion, attention-pattern issues, and agent performance degradation caused by accumulated or conflicting context.

Master modern, clean, and maintainable Avalonia UI layouts. Focus on semantic containers, shared styles, and minimal XAML.
Read ONLY files relevant to the layout challenge!
| File | Description | When to Read |
|---|---|---|
themes.md | Theme organization and shared styles | Setting up or refining app themes |
containers.md | Semantic containers (HeaderedContainer, EdgePanel, Card) | Structuring views and layouts |
icons.md | Icon usage with IconExtension and IconOptions | Adding and customizing icons |
behaviors.md | Xaml.Interaction.Behaviors and avoiding Converters | Implementing complex interactions |
components.md | Generic components and avoiding nesting | Creating reusable UI elements |
For a real-world example, refer to the Angor project:
/mnt/fast/Repos/angor/src/Angor/Avalonia/Angor.Avalonia.sln
HeaderedContainer instead of Border with manual header)axaml files.EdgePanel or generic components.{Icon fa-name} and IconOptions for styling.Interaction.Behaviors for UI-logic.DON'T:
Grid and StackPanel.IValueConverter for simple logic that belongs in the ViewModel.DO:
DynamicResource for colors and brushes.Zafiro.Avalonia specific panels like EdgePanel for common UI patterns.This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
