Render Mermaid graph/flowchart and sequenceDiagram as terminal text via ascii.sh. Use for flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Mermaid examples, or ASCII diagrams.
Create Excalidraw diagram JSON files that make visual arguments. Use when the user wants to visualize workflows, architectures, or concepts.
Browser automation, debugging, and performance analysis using Puppeteer CLI scripts. Use for automating browsers, taking screenshots, analyzing performance, monitoring network traffic, web scraping, form automation, and JavaScript debugging.
Help with Neovim development, configuration, plugin setup, plugin install locations, and runtime inspection. Use this skill when the user asks to inspect or modify Neovim config files, plugin specs, plugin installation directories, keymaps, autocmds, options, LSP setup, lazy.nvim configuration, runtime files, help docs, or a currently running Neovim instance via RPC/socket. Works both for config-repo editing and live Neovim session debugging, using `$NVIM` inside a Neovim terminal or `$NVIM_SOCKET_PATH` in a normal terminal.
Create diagrams and visualizations using Mermaid.js v11 syntax. Use when generating flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, state diagrams, ER diagrams, Gantt charts, user journeys, timelines, architecture diagrams, or any of 24+ diagram types. Supports JavaScript API integration, CLI rendering to SVG/PNG/PDF, theming, configuration, and accessibility features. Essential for documentation, technical diagrams, project planning, system architecture, and visual communication.
Use when complex problems require systematic step-by-step reasoning with ability to revise thoughts, branch into alternative approaches, or dynamically adjust scope. Ideal for multi-stage analysis, design planning, problem decomposition, or tasks with initially unclear scope.

A collection of techniques for breaking through stuck points and finding elegant solutions.
Location: when-stuck/SKILL.md
Start here when stuck. Matches your stuck-type to the right technique. Quick dispatch table for routing to the appropriate sub-skill.
Location: collision-zone-thinking/SKILL.md
Force unrelated concepts together to discover emergent properties. "What if we treated X like Y?" Revolutionary insights come from deliberate metaphor-mixing.
Location: inversion-exercise/SKILL.md
Flip every assumption and see what still works. "What if the opposite were true?" Exposes hidden constraints and alternative approaches.
Location: meta-pattern-recognition/SKILL.md
Spot patterns appearing in 3+ domains to find universal principles. Extract abstract forms that apply across domains.
Location: scale-game/SKILL.md
Test at extremes (1000x bigger/smaller) to expose fundamental truths. What breaks? What survives? Extremes reveal what normal scales hide.
Location: simplification-cascades/SKILL.md
Find one insight that eliminates multiple components. "If this is true, we don't need X, Y, or Z." Look for unifying principles.
| How You're Stuck | Use This |
|---|---|
| Don't know which technique | when-stuck |
| Need breakthrough innovation | collision-zone-thinking |
| Forced by assumptions | inversion-exercise |
| Same issue in different places | meta-pattern-recognition |
| Unsure about production scale | scale-game |
| Complexity spiraling | simplification-cascades |
Conventional solutions inadequate? → collision-zone-thinking
"This must be done this way"? → inversion-exercise
Same pattern 3+ places? → meta-pattern-recognition
Will it work at scale? → scale-game
Same thing implemented 5+ ways? → simplification-cascades
"One powerful abstraction > ten clever hacks"
These techniques help you find the elegant solution that makes complexity unnecessary, rather than managing complexity through brute force.
