Use when a feature, bugfix, review, planning, implementation, verification, commit, push, or PR task needs orchestration across multiple project skills. Maestro is the entry point for full-cycle engineering work: classify the request, choose the right domain/framework skills, enforce planning/build/publish gates, and carry the task from intake to done without replacing the specialized skills it coordinates.
Use this skill alongside the adonisjs skill when the project uses the AdonisJS Hypermedia starter kit or Edge.js server-side templates. Trigger for .edge files, view.render(), router.on().render(), resources/views, Edge syntax, AdonisJS Edge helpers, request/auth/session/flashMessages/old/route/signedRoute/config/app/asset/i18n, @vite/@viteReactRefresh/@can/@cannot/@flashMessage/@error/@inputError, template state, interpolation, conditionals, @if/@elseif/@else/@unless, loops, @each, layouts, Edge components, component props, $props, slots, provide/inject, $context, partials, @include/@includeIf, stacks, @stack/@pushTo, form components, CSRF form helpers, field/input/select/textarea components, alert/button/link/avatar components, or debugging templates with @dump.
Use this skill whenever the user is working with AdonisJS v7 backend framework code: controllers, routes, middleware, services, VineJS validators, Transformers, Bouncer policies, events, listeners, mail, cache, queue, exceptions, Ace commands, request/response/session handling, or backend architecture and review. Trigger for "create a controller", "add validation", "create a service", "add a policy", "wire routes", "handle an exception", or AdonisJS backend review/debugging. For Lucid ORM, migrations, schema generation, models, relationships, query builders, transactions, factories, or seeders, use the lucid skill alongside or instead of this one. For Japa tests, use the japa skill. For Inertia frontend patterns, use inertia-react or inertia-vue alongside this one.
Use this skill alongside the adonisjs skill when the project uses Inertia.js with React as the frontend layer. Trigger for anything involving React page components in an AdonisJS + Inertia project: the Form or Link components from @adonisjs/inertia/react, typed props with Data.Post from @generated/data, InertiaMiddleware shared data, deferred/optional/always props, error bags, pagination in React, or any inertia.render() frontend pattern. This skill covers only the React frontend layer — for all AdonisJS backend patterns (controllers, models, validators, migrations, auth, transformers, events) use the adonisjs skill. Both skills should be active together on Inertia + React projects.
Use this skill alongside the adonisjs skill when the project uses Inertia.js with Vue 3 as the frontend layer. Trigger for anything involving Vue page components in an AdonisJS + Inertia project: the Form or Link components from @adonisjs/inertia/vue, typed props with Data.Post from @generated/data, InertiaMiddleware shared data, deferred/optional/always props, error bags, pagination in Vue, or any inertia.render() frontend pattern. This skill covers only the Vue frontend layer — for all AdonisJS backend patterns (controllers, models, validators, migrations, auth, transformers, events) use the adonisjs skill. Both skills should be active together on Inertia + Vue projects.
Use this skill whenever the user is writing, debugging, or configuring tests in an AdonisJS application with Japa. Trigger for any testing task: writing API tests, browser tests (Playwright), console/command tests, database state setup, test doubles (fakes, swaps, time), factory usage, or any question about the testing layer. Also trigger for "write a test", "how to test", "fake the mailer", "loginAs", "truncate database", "withGlobalTransaction", "emitter.fake", "hash.fake", "drive.fake", "swap container", "freeze time", "timeTravel", "useFake", "raw mode", "record mode", or any Japa-specific concept. For AdonisJS backend patterns used inside tests (models, factories, auth) use the adonisjs skill alongside this one.
Use when working with AdonisJS Lucid ORM and SQL layer: database configuration, migrations, schema generation, schema classes, models, CRUD operations, model query builder, query scopes, hooks, serialization, relationships, transactions, pagination, debugging, validation rules, model factories, seeders, or database query builders. Trigger for tasks involving @adonisjs/lucid, database/schema.ts, app/models, database/migrations, database/factories, database/seeders, db service queries, Lucid relationships, or model behavior.
