Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends AI agent capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
Use when creating, scaffolding, or updating the repository AI harness in VS Code. Trigger on requests to bootstrap or refresh instructions, prompts, agents, hooks, skills, or memory layers while preserving useful existing structure and avoiding monolithic always-on context.
Canonical SEA-Forge release workflow for release preparation, validation, branch promotion, tagging, rollback, and release-gate evidence. Use when preparing a release, promoting dev to stage or stage to main, cutting a version tag, validating release readiness, handling hotfix forward-merges, planning rollback, or executing a full end-to-end release. Prefer existing just recipes and evidence-producing gates over ad hoc deployment steps.
Use when SEA work touches specs, generators, manifests, semantic fixtures, regeneration, `src/gen`, or behavior projected from ADR/PRD/SDS/SEA authority.
Use when a SEA context has valid specs and generated contracts but lacks handwritten logic, runtime wiring, persistence, integration, tests, or executable proof.
Create concise, copy-paste-ready bridge prompts between a repo-aware coding agent and an external strategic reasoning agent such as S1 ArchDevAgent. Use when the user wants to offload architecture, research, large refactor planning, migration design, plan critique, implementation-spec drafting, test-strategy design, whole-repo analysis, or diff review to an external agent while keeping repo inspection and implementation in the coding agent. Also use when the user says "use S1", "ask S1", "make a prompt for S1", "bridge this to my external agent", "prepare a context packet", or "validate this S1 response".
Manage knowledge work using CMMN (Case Management Model and Notation) primitives including Cases, Stages, Tasks, Sentries, and Milestones. Use for discretionary workflows, research projects, consulting engagements, creative work, or any knowledge-intensive work requiring flexible orchestration. Integrates with pm-orchestration for AI-driven case lifecycle management.
Guide conversational requirement gathering with domain experts (non-coders), then automatically draft SEA specifications (ADR → PRD → SDS → SEA-DSL), check generator availability, and trigger generator creation if needed. Democratizes software development so domain experts can chat about their needs and get working software without hallucinations (generator-first principle). Requires confirmed claims from conversational-development skill before spec drafting begins.
