CRITICAL: MUST run for EVERY message. Detects agent, complexity, AND model automatically. Without this, tasks route to wrong agents and use wrong models, degrading quality and wasting tokens.
5 techniques for different problem types. Use when stuck or facing complex challenges.
Angular 17+ gotchas and decision criteria. Covers signals vs observables, standalone patterns, and common pitfalls Claude gets wrong.
Designs RESTful APIs with endpoint naming, versioning strategies (URL path, header-based), pagination (offset and cursor), error response schemas, and OpenAPI conventions. Use when the user asks about REST API design, creating endpoints, URL structure, API versioning, status codes, Swagger, or OpenAPI specs.
Fast bug fixes with root cause investigation + TDD. Enforces 'no fix without root cause' discipline and verification protocol. Without this skill, fixes are applied at symptoms instead of sources, and bugs return.
Draft → generate verification questions → answer independently via tools → revise. Catches hallucinated facts in reports and reviews. MANDATORY for Phase 4 security/test claims. Paper: Dhuliawala et al. 2023.

AI-consumed reference. Optimized for Claude to read during execution. Human-readable explanation: see docs/architecture/HIERARCHICAL_PLANNING.md or docs/getting-started/ depending on topic.
Use for complex problems requiring structured analysis before solution.
Thought 1/N: [Initial analysis — observations, assumptions]
Thought 2/N: [Build on previous — deeper analysis, connections]
Thought 3/N [REVISION of 1]: [Correct earlier assumptions — what was wrong, corrected view]
Thought 4/N [BRANCH A]: [Alternative approach — different angle, trade-offs]
Thought 5/N [FINAL]: [Synthesize solution — recommended approach, key decisions]
