Build new AI method from scratch using the MTHDS standard (.mthds bundle files). Use when user says "create a pipeline", "build a workflow", "new .mthds file", "make a method", "design a pipe", or wants to create any new method from scratch. Guides the user through a 10-phase construction process.

Check and validate MTHDS bundles for issues. Use when user says "validate this", "check my workflow", "check my method", "does this .mthds make sense?", "review this pipeline", "any issues?", "is this correct?". Reports problems without modifying files. Read-only analysis.

Edit existing MTHDS bundles (.mthds files). Use when user says "change this pipe", "update the prompt", "rename this concept", "add a step", "remove this pipe", "modify the workflow", "modify the method", "refactor this pipeline", or wants any modification to an existing .mthds file. Supports automatic mode for clear changes and interactive mode for complex modifications.

Explain and document MTHDS bundles. Use when user says "what does this pipeline do?", "explain this workflow", "explain this method", "walk me through this .mthds file", "describe the flow", "document this pipeline", "how does this work?", or wants to understand an existing MTHDS method bundle.

Fix issues in MTHDS bundles. Use when user says "fix this workflow", "fix this method", "repair validation errors", "the pipeline is broken", "fix the .mthds file", after /mthds-check found issues, or when validation reports errors. Automatically applies fixes and re-validates in a loop.

Prepare inputs for MTHDS methods. Use when user says "prepare inputs", "create inputs", "use my files", "generate test data", "template", "synthesize inputs", "mock inputs", "I have a PDF/image/document to use", "make sample data", or wants to create inputs.json for running a .mthds pipeline. Handles user-provided files, synthetic data generation, placeholder templates, and mixed approaches. Defaults to automatic mode.

Set up Pipelex inference configuration — choose backends and configure API keys. Use when user says "set up pipelex", "configure backends", "configure inference", "set up API keys", "pipelex setup", "pipelex init", wants to run methods for the first time, or gets a config/credential error when running.

Manage MTHDS packages — initialize, configure exports, list, and validate. Use when user says "init package", "set up METHODS.toml", "manage packages", "mthds init", "validate package", "list package", or wants to manage MTHDS package manifests.

Run MTHDS methods and interpret results. Use when user says "run this pipeline", "execute the workflow", "execute the method", "test this .mthds file", "try it out", "see the output", "dry run", or wants to execute any MTHDS method bundle and see its output.

Update the minimum mthds-agent version required by all skills. Use when the user says "bump mthds version", "update min version", "raise minimum mthds version", "set mthds version to X.Y.Z", or any variation of changing the required CLI version across skills.

Automates the release workflow for this plugin: runs `make check`, bumps the version in plugin.json and marketplace.json, creates a release/vX.Y.Z branch if needed, and commits/pushes/opens a PR. Use this skill when the user says "release", "cut a release", "bump version", "prepare a release", "make a release", "create release branch", or any variation of shipping a new version.

Install MTHDS method packages from GitHub or local directories. Use when user says "install a method", "install from GitHub", "add a method package", "mthds install", "install method", "set up a method", or wants to install an MTHDS method package for use with an AI agent.

Publish MTHDS methods to mthds.sh. Use when user says "publish this method", "publish to mthds", "publish my methods", "mthds publish", "register my method", or wants to publish a method package to the mthds.sh hub.

Share MTHDS methods on social media (X/Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn). Use when user says "share this method", "post on social media", "share on X", "share on Reddit", "share on LinkedIn", "tweet about this method", or wants to share a published method on social platforms.
