Initialize PARA-Programming structure in the current project

Create a planning document through collaborative dialogue, with support for multi-phase plans

Perform deep codebase exploration and produce a context-compressed research document

Orchestrate the full PARA execution cycle across phases

Archive the current context to create a clean slate for the next task

Execute the active plan by creating an isolated worktree and tracking todos

Spawn an independent subagent with a Staff+ FAANG engineer persona to review a plan or PR

Generate a summary document from the current work session

Display the PARA-Programming quick-reference guide with all 11 skills and the Research→Plan→Review→Execute→Review→Summarize→Archive workflow.

Archive the current context to create a clean slate for the next task. Removes worktrees, resets context/context.md, preserves summaries.

Decision helper to determine if PARA workflow should be used for a given request. Triages tasks into PARA-worthy vs direct-answer categories.

Execute the active plan by creating an isolated git worktree and tracking todos. Supports simple and phased plans with TDD-first commit-per-todo discipline.

Initialize PARA-Programming structure in the current project. Use when setting up a new repo for PARA workflow, creating context/ directory, or bootstrapping AGENTS.md.

Create a planning document through collaborative dialogue with support for multi-phase plans. Use for all non-trivial changes before writing code. Gates the para-execute skill.

Perform deep codebase exploration and produce a context-compressed research document for planning. Use before the para-plan skill for non-trivial tasks to gather contracts, patterns, and interface boundaries.

Spawn an independent reviewer with a Staff+ FAANG engineer persona to review a plan or PR. Review loops until approval, capped at 5 rounds with convergence detection.

Initialize the PARA workflow structure in the current project. Triggers on: "initialize PARA", "set up PARA workflow", "init para", "set up context directory", "initialize context structure", "start PARA in this project".

Decide whether the current request needs the PARA workflow or can be answered directly. Triggers on: "should I use PARA for this", "does this need a plan", "para check", "do I need to plan this", "is this a PARA task", "should I run para-plan".

Display the current PARA workflow state and suggest the next action. Triggers on: "what's the para status", "show workflow state", "para status", "where are we in the workflow", "what's our current task", "show me the context".

Show the PARA workflow quick-reference guide with all available skills. Triggers on: "para help", "how do I use para", "what are the para commands", "show me para skills", "what can para do", "para overview".

Generate a post-work summary document for the current PARA session. Triggers on: "summarize work", "write summary", "wrap up session", "para summarize", "create a summary", "summarize this phase", "summarize what we did".

Archive the current PARA context and create a clean slate for the next task. Triggers on: "archive context", "start fresh", "reset para context", "para archive", "archive and start over", "clean up context", "wrap up and archive".

Execute the active PARA plan by creating a branch and working through todos with spec-driven TDD. Triggers on: "execute the plan", "implement the plan", "para execute", "start implementing", "begin execution", "run the plan", "let's implement".

Create a PARA planning document through collaborative dialogue. Triggers on: "create a plan", "plan this task", "para plan", "plan out", "help me plan", "let's plan", "make a plan for", "I want to plan".
