Use when working with Will's dotfiles, Nix/Home Manager setup, direnv project environments, Brave remote debugging, local trade-tariff ports, or local service assumptions on this machine.
Core agent discipline and workflow harness (adapted from Codex Superpowers). Establishes strict habits: always check for relevant skills before acting, use todo tracking on complex work, prefer plan mode for big changes, and verify before declaring completion. Use at the start of any non-trivial session or when you want maximum reliability and structure.
Use when starting any conversation or before non-trivial work. Establishes how to find and invoke skills (Grok /skills injection or Read of SKILL.md) before ANY response, including clarifying questions. Pair with superpowers for session discipline.
Use when working with npm, Yarn, pnpm, Bun, Node dependencies, package installs, lockfile diffs, dependency upgrades, package audits, JavaScript supply chain security, lifecycle scripts, npm tokens, package publishing, trusted publishing, or provenance.
Interactively create a new Grok skill (SKILL.md + optional scripts/references). Use when the user wants to create a skill, scaffold a skill, or runs /create-skill.
Rigorous root-cause debugging process. Use for ANY bug, test failure, unexpected behavior, performance issue, or when previous fix attempts have failed. Forces you to find the real cause before proposing or applying any fixes. This is the single most effective way to stop thrashing and actually solve hard problems.
Mandatory verification gate before claiming any work is complete, fixed, or passing. Use when you are about to say "done", "fixed", "tests pass", "it works", or similar — requires fresh evidence from running the actual verification command(s) in the current context.
Create high-quality, detailed implementation plans for multi-step work before writing code. Use when you have a spec, feature request, or complex task. Produces bite-sized, verifiable tasks with exact file paths, code examples, commands, and expected outcomes. Strongly encourages TDD and frequent commits.
