ai-stack

Draft or edit public documentation, product, UI or CLI copy, external drafts, or explicitly requested editorial reviews in clear, plain British English. Do not use for ordinary chat, commentary, status, plans, code-only work, research, internal reviews, worker prompts or evidence gathering.

Use only when the user explicitly invokes $grill-me or asks to be grilled, pressure-tested, challenged, interrogated, questioned first, or aligned before work starts. Broad task-alignment workflow for software, research, writing, planning, purchasing, operations, design, and other generic tasks. Do not invoke proactively; if a task seems underspecified, suggest that the user can invoke this skill without entering the workflow.

Maintain and update fast-moving AI tools in the Nix workspace. Use when asked to refresh, verify, package, install, apply, or compare current versions of Codex, Claude, pi, MCP tools, XcodeBuildMCP, markit/markitdown, qmd, spogo, or other AI developer tools managed through nix-ai-tools, nixos-config, Homebrew tap locks, or ai-stack.

Use summarize.sh to summarize or transcribe URLs, YouTube/videos, podcasts, articles, transcripts, PDFs, and local files. Use for markdownified YouTube transcripts with summarize --extract --format md --markdown-mode llm.

High-quality YouTube transcription from audio using yt-dlp + whisper.cpp through the local summarize CLI. Use when captions are unavailable/untrusted or the user explicitly wants audio transcription. For summarize.sh markdownified YouTube transcripts, use the summarize skill instead.

Write durable Codex session goals. Use when the user asks to write, improve, set, update, or replace a session goal; says the current session goal is too vague, too narrow, too specific, or slop; asks for a long-running/autonomous objective to be framed as a goal; or asks Codex to encode vision, north star, current slice, success criteria, deliverable, CTO briefing, alignment needs, review loop, and completion proof into a session goal. Do not use for ordinary planning, CTO briefs, reviews, or research unless the user asks to create or revise a session goal.

Create or revise RFCs and ADRs using Lawbot-Hub templates, strong in-repo examples, and concrete failure-mode examples. Use when drafting, reviewing, or tightening RFC/ADR documents, or when assessing RFC/ADR quality.

Generates TRMNL-compatible e-ink display images. Use when creating images for TRMNL devices, converting images to 1-bit format, or uploading content to e-ink displays. Triggers on "TRMNL", "e-ink", "e-paper", "terminal display".

Convert documents and files to useful Markdown using the installed markitdown and markit CLIs. Use when converting PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx, .xls), HTML, CSV, JSON, XML, images, audio, ZIP archives, YouTube URLs, or EPubs to Markdown, when choosing between markit and markitdown for better extraction quality, when comparing PDF extraction results, or when OCR may be needed for scanned or image-heavy PDFs.

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 an AI coding agent's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

Render inline interactive visuals — SVG diagrams, HTML widgets, charts, and explainers — directly in the conversation. Use this skill whenever the user asks to visualize, diagram, chart, illustrate, or explain something visually, or when an explanation would genuinely benefit from a spatial or interactive diagram rather than text. Also triggers for flowcharts, architecture diagrams, data visualizations, interactive explainers, comparison layouts, UI mockups, and requests containing 'show me', 'draw', 'map out', 'visualize', or 'diagram'.

Official skill for the XcodeBuildMCP CLI. Use when doing iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS/visionOS work (build, test, run, debug, log, UI automation).

Analyze pi/codex/claude session transcripts to discover patterns, skills, and model performance correlations. Mines usage history for automation opportunities and tracks model quality by time of day.

Scaffold, build, and package SwiftPM-based macOS apps without an Xcode project. Use when you need a from-scratch macOS app layout, SwiftPM targets/resources, a custom .app bundle assembly script, or signing/notarization/appcast steps outside Xcode.

Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Use this skill when the user asks to build web components, pages, or applications. Generates creative, polished code that avoids generic AI aesthetics.

This skill should be used when users request new features, improvements, fixes, or ask to create plans. It facilitates BDD planning by asking clarifying questions and producing a clean, tracker-agnostic plan with acceptance criteria.
