Run and inspect SWE-bench benchmark workflows for alan's coding line. Use this when: - The user wants to run SWE-bench Lite or curated SWE-bench subsets - The user wants to prepare benchmark workspaces or materialize suite manifests - The user wants to score benchmark predictions with the official harness - The user wants benchmark operations to remain separate from the repo-coding product contract
Execute repo-local code edits and run deterministic verification.
Delegate bounded repo-scoped coding work to a fresh repo worker. Use this when: - alan has already selected the target repo or directory - The task needs inspect -> plan -> edit -> verify -> deliver inside that bound scope - The work should run in a focused child runtime instead of the parent steward
Manage persistent Memory Store files across Agent Processes. Use this when: - Continuing work started by an earlier Agent Process - The user references prior decisions, constraints, or history - Stable, user-confirmed information should be retained - Durable handoff or topic notes need inspection or maintenance
Inspect and operate the native alan shell control surface. Use this when: - The user asks about spaces, tabs, surfaces, panes, focus, or splits - alan needs to decide which pane or surface should receive an action - alan needs to create a space, split a pane, focus a pane, or send text - The task depends on understanding the outer terminal app rather than only understanding Alan Process state This skill assumes the local `alan shell` CLI namespace backed by the shell's IPC/socket API. If that CLI is unavailable, report that clearly and fall back to other available context.
Create and manage structured execution plans for complex multi-step tasks. Use this when: - Task requires more than 3 distinct steps - Work is expected to span multiple context windows - There are logical dependencies between steps - You need to track incremental progress - User asks for something complex that benefits from a plan Do NOT use for simple single-step tasks or quick questions.
Describe what this delegated skill does and when it should be used.
Design, scaffold, validate, and iterate on alan skill packages. Use this when: - The user wants to create a new skill package - The user wants to update or refactor an existing skill package - You need to structure SKILL.md, sidecars, package-local binaries, scripts, references, or assets - You need to validate package shape, execution metadata, or description fit - You need to plan explicit authoring and evaluation workflows for a skill
