Based on SOC occupation classification
MCP tool selection guide — use when choosing between Kagi, Context7, gh_grep, Firecrawl, Playwright, or other MCP tools for a task. Provides decision matrix and anti-patterns.
Context-aware tradeoff analysis — researches codebase and domain to draft criteria questions for user prioritization. Use when facing 2+ viable approaches with meaningful tradeoffs.
PREFERRED: Dual-engine code intelligence (semantic search + symbol lookup). Use INSTEAD of built-in Grep/Glob for code exploration, concept search, and finding implementations by intent. Semantic engine: 92% retrieval quality. Symbol engine: exact function/class lookup, no API key needed.
Generic git worktree boundary guidance. For ADV-managed worktrees, defer to Advance's adv-worktree skill and adv_worktree_* tools.
Ultra-compressed commit message generator. Cuts noise from commit messages while preserving intent and reasoning. Conventional Commits format. Subject <=50 chars, body only when "why" isn't obvious. Use when user says "write a commit", "commit message", "generate commit", "/commit", or invokes /caveman-commit. Auto-triggers when staging changes.
Ultra-compressed code review comments. Cuts noise from PR feedback while preserving the actionable signal. Each comment is one line: location, problem, fix. Use when user says "review this PR", "code review", "review the diff", "/review", or invokes /caveman-review. Auto-triggers when reviewing pull requests.

Load this skill when you need to edit an existing file and the change is large, scattered, or fragile for exact string replacement.
morph_edit ForUse // ... existing code ... markers at the start, between edits, and at the
end so unchanged code is preserved.
Include 1-2 unique context lines around each change and give specific instructions describing the intent of the edit.
If morph_edit fails, fall back to native exact editing tools.
