Use at the start of every agent session, even if the task seems obvious and you think you already know what to do. Activates when the agent has just opened a repository, does not know what to do, needs to orient itself, or is beginning any new session. Also activates for "where do I start?", "what should I work on?", "what is the current state?". Skipping orientation leads to wasted effort and missed context.

Use this skill when interacting with the Kanbanzai system as an agent: before starting implementation work, when assembling context, dispatching or completing tasks, writing commits, contributing knowledge entries, or spawning sub-agents. Activate for any task, not just complex ones.

Use this skill whenever you are drafting, reviewing, or discussing a design document, helping a human think through a design problem, presenting alternatives, or preparing a design document for approval. Also activates when asked to make architecture, technology, or data model decisions — those belong in a design document, not in chat.

Use this skill whenever you create, edit, register, or approve any document in a Kanbanzai-managed project, including files in work/design/, work/spec/, work/plan/, work/dev/, work/research/, work/report/, work/review/, work/retro/, or any configured document root. Activate even when document registration is not the primary goal of the task — any file creation in a document root requires registration.

This repository is managed with Kanbanzai. Read this skill at the start of every session, before writing any code or running any searches. Kanbanzai provides MCP tools — next, entity, doc, status, and others — that replace manual grep and file searching for project state and work queue management. The presence of a .kbz/ directory or kanbanzai tools in your tool list confirms you are in a Kanbanzai-managed project and this skill applies.

Use this skill when conducting a plan review after all features in a plan are complete. Covers scope verification, feature completion checks, spec conformance, documentation currency, and retrospective contribution.

Use this skill during any planning conversation: when scoping new work, deciding whether something is one feature or a plan with multiple features, responding to a human request to build something new, or when a conversation might drift into design decisions before scope is established.

Use this skill when conducting a code review for a kanbanzai feature. Provides structured review procedure, per-dimension evaluation guidance, output format, and orchestration steps.

Use this skill whenever you are making progress decisions: deciding what to build, whether to proceed to the next stage, whether a state transition is valid, or whether to create new entities. Also activates when resolving entity lifecycle errors, determining human vs. agent responsibilities, or deciding whether to stop and ask.

Build and run a Basil server against a scratch site to observe changes at the real HTTP surface.

Run the project Definition of Done for the current unit of work and integrate it — build, test, verify, docs/changelog, commit, rebase, merge to main, push, and remove the worktree. Use when a piece of work is finished and should land on main. Merge model is direct-to-main (no PR).

Develop and test Basil web applications with HTTP handlers, routing, sessions, authentication, databases, and interactive components (Parts).
