Land a queue of stint tasks as fast as possible by orchestrating agent instances (Claude or Codex, launched via size-tier aliases) in Plexi panes. You give it stints (or sprints); it spawns every pane it needs: a WORKER pane implements each batch and opens one PR, a separate fresh TESTER pane validates the PR against the real install build, bugs route between them until it passes, then merge and fresh panes for the next batch. The head relays itself to a fresh pane after every merge via RUN_STATE.md. You are the router, never the coder. Checks in every 10 min. Triggered by /babysitter, "babysit the queue", "queue these stints".

Phase 1 of the PLEXI ship pipeline when work is selected from .stint. Resolves a stint task, claims it (stint owns state — no git commit needed), branches a feature worktree from alpha HEAD, implements the task, pushes the branch, then hands off to /open-pr.

Phase 2 of the PLEXI ship pipeline. Takes a pushed feature branch, creates a PR targeting alpha, updates pipeline labels, and invokes /validate-pr inline. Input: branch name or auto-detect from CWD. Output: PR URL.

Phase 4 of the PLEXI ship pipeline. Takes an approved PR number, squash-merges to alpha, closes the issue, and cleans up. Input: PR number. Output: merged alpha.

Phase 3 of the PLEXI ship pipeline. Installs a PR build, generates test instructions, handles user pass/fail/modify responses, and manages the retry loop (max 3 soft rejects before escalating to hard reject). Input: PR number. Output: approved PR number or hard-reject.

Use this skill when the user wants to add a stint task, create a ticket, track a unit of work, file a bug, propose a feature, or log something to .stint/. Triggered by phrases like "add a task", "create a stint", "new task", "track this", "file a bug", "log a ticket", or when planning work that should go in the operating graph.

Agent self-validation before push. Classifies the diff (host logic / host UI / PGAP app), runs the matching harness tests, generates headless render screenshots as evidence, and writes a Test Evidence block for the Ship Log that validate-pr uses to decide whether binary install can be skipped. Invoked inline by implement-issue and implement-stint after cargo build passes, before git push.

Session orientation skill. Re-audits stint tasks, checks open PRs, and rewrites WHATS_NEXT.md (the Arc + Priority Stack). Use at the start of any session when you don't know what to work on next, or after a batch of merges when priorities may have shifted. Also called inline by merge-pr after each merge to keep the file in sync.

Use when shipping a feature or fix to the parallax Python CLI — finds an unblocked issue, implements on a feature branch, installs as an isolated parallax-pr<N> command for live CLI testing, and merges to alpha after verification.

Use when operating the Parallax CLI to produce AI-generated short-form videos. Covers project setup, brief authoring, the plan→produce loop, asset locking, model selection, and cost management.

Fido-specific .stint implementation, PR, merge, release, crates publish, reinstall, and Railway verification workflow. Use in /Users/ianburke/Documents/GitHub/fido when the user asks to implement a stint task, do P1 prerelease work, merge a Fido stint PR, publish or release Fido, reinstall fido locally, deploy Railway, or close Fido stint tasks.

Freelance time tracking and invoice generation. Use when the user wants to log hours, clock in/out, add items, generate invoices, or manage billing for clients.

Process Kill Tony episodes through the full pipeline (download → WhisperX GPU transcription → Gemini extraction → SQLite) with auto-chunking for long episodes, age backfill, and post-processing QA.

The definitive CLI for AI-assisted video production. Drive the full pipeline — ingest, stills generation, scripting, voiceover, composition, and publishing — through a clean V2 command namespace. Fully agent-operable via --json NDJSON, machine-readable exit codes, and TEST_MODE for offline pipeline verification.
