Pull the latest GAIA release into this project without clobbering customizations. Three-way merge per file using .gaia/manifest.json classes. Trigger when the user clicks the statusline `Run /update-gaia` indicator or asks "update GAIA", "pull the latest GAIA", "apply the new GAIA release".
Autonomous Dependabot, auto-discover outdated packages, audit overrides, apply migrations for major bumps, resolve conflicts, run quality gate. Trigger when the user clicks the statusline `Run /update-deps` indicator or asks "update dependencies", "bump deps", "run dependabot".
File a new tech-debt GitHub issue for an out-of-scope code-review finding, building the dedup key, checking for an existing open or declined-closed match, and only if none exists, creating the issue with the right labels and touching the debt-count staleness sentinel. Trigger on natural-language asks like "file a tech-debt issue", "record this as tech-debt", "open a tech-debt issue for this out-of-scope finding", or "file this finding as debt". Do NOT trigger on draining, fixing, listing, or prioritizing existing debt (that's `/gaia-debt`), nor on general "clean up the code" or "fix this bug" asks that aren't about filing a new tracked issue.
Automates browser interactions for web testing, form filling, screenshots, and data extraction. Use when the user needs to navigate websites, interact with web pages, fill forms, take screenshots, test web applications, or extract information from web pages.
Patterns and conventions for writing and editing React code, including components and hooks. Use this skill whenever writing or reviewing React components, hooks (useEffect, useCallback, useState), event handlers, or component extraction decisions. Also trigger when debugging stale closures, infinite re-renders, or unnecessary re-renders caused by memoization issues, or when deciding whether to add a dependency, reach for a web-platform API (Intl, URL, crypto.randomUUID), or hand-roll a primitive. Also trigger when choosing a React 19 idiom, deciding between forwardRef and ref-as-prop, useContext and use(), or Context.Provider and the Context shorthand; when conditional rendering risks the && numeric-0 leak; or when tempted to reach for React's form Actions (useActionState, useFormStatus, useOptimistic) instead of React Router's form handling.
Maintainer-only. Translate a version's GAIA CHANGELOG entries into plain-language public release notes for the marketing site (gaiareact.com). Writes a release-data `.ts` file under `../website/src/pages/changelog/releases/` plus an editorial-decisions report for human review. Use whenever the maintainer wants the adopter-facing notes for a version, e.g. "write release notes", "generate the changelog page entry", "translate the CHANGELOG for the website", "what's new on the site for v1.5.0", "public notes for 1.4.0", or right after cutting a release, and for one-time backfill of historical `## [x.y.z]` blocks. This is the website-notes step only. It does NOT edit `CHANGELOG.md`, it is not how you cut a release (version bump, manifest, and tag are `/gaia-release`), and it is not for an adopter's own app's release notes.
Test-driven development with red-green-refactor loop. Use when user wants to build features or fix bugs using TDD, mentions "red-green-refactor", wants integration tests, or asks for test-first development.
Patterns and conventions for all TypeScript code. Use this skill whenever writing or reviewing TypeScript, naming identifiers, typing exports, choosing between type and interface, using Zod schemas, structuring function parameters, or enforcing code patterns like avoiding switch statements and enums.
