session-git-lifecycle-en

roebi/agent-skills

Defines the git-based lifecycle for agent chat sessions: CREATE for new projects (git init with explicit main branch) and RESUME for continuing work from a delivered tar.gz containing a .git folder. Use this skill whenever an agent starts a new software project from scratch, or whenever a user provides a versioned tar.gz to continue work in a new or resumed session. Also covers the handover tag namespace convention (handover/vN) that keeps session delivery tags safely separated from software version tags (vX.Y.Z) used by GitHub Actions release workflows. Trigger phrases: "start new project", "new session", "resume project", "continue from tar", "here is myproject_vN.tar.gz", "untar and continue", "pick up where we left off", "add github actions release workflow".

brainstorming-topic-dialog-creative-mentor-en

roebi/agent-skills

Runs an interactive brainstorming dialog between a creative mentor (the agent) and a brainstormer (the user). The mentor guides deep topic exploration through a growing idea-tree: the brainstormer defines 4 root perspectives (SWOT-style), then mentor and brainstormer alternately add creative branches each round until the brainstormer says "brainstormed". The session concludes with a downloadable <topic>-brainstorming-summary.md. Activate for phrases like: "brainstorm X", "help me brainstorm", "creative brainstorming session", "explore topic X with me", "brainstorming dialog", "mentor-led brainstorm", or "idea tree for X".
