User-triggered audit that finds wiring drift between a project's UI surfaces and backend capabilities — orphan surfaces (UI calls endpoints/hooks/procedures that no longer exist), unwired capabilities (backend routes/exports that nothing surfaces), shape…
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment - applies TDD to process documentation by testing with subagents before writing, iterating until bulletproof against rationalization
Use when filing, updating, sequencing, or querying tasks in any atlas-crew repo (Facet + the Atlas Crew Security repos: Apparatus, Chimera, Crucible, Synapse, Bridge). These repos track work in GitHub Issues on Projects v2 boards, NOT backlog.md. Covers the…
Use when public prose still sounds machine-written after ai-tells-scan. Complements ai-tells-scan's mechanical pass with structural judgment: rhythm, hedging, rhetorical reflexes, and performative emphasis. Trigger on 'review for AI tells,' 'does this read…
Use when writing tasks produce prose artifacts (READMEs, docs, PR text, tutorials, guides, posts, release notes) and need a fast surface scan for AI tells. Auto-engages on prose writing tasks; checks banned punctuation, stock vocabulary, and mechanical…
User-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used…
Use this skill when a working tree contains uncommitted changes that need to be split into a sequence of atomic commits — typically after a long session, an agent hand-off, a rebase resolution, or anytime `git status` shows mixed work that was not committed…
Audit static HTML files for on-page SEO, content quality, easy-win performance signals, and crawlability. This skill should be used when the user asks to review, audit, or check the SEO of one or more static HTML files — e.g., "review the HTML for SEO…
Use this skill when authoring or refactoring a justfile (and matching Makefile wrapper) for one of Nick's projects. Triggers when the user asks to "create a justfile", "add a justfile to this project", "set up just for…", "wire up tmux services", "scaffold…
User-triggered analysis of how a system gets deployed and recovered — across local (Docker Compose) and cloud (Kubernetes / Eve) release surfaces. Produces mermaid diagrams plus cited reports for promotion paths, environment topology, configuration…
User-triggered multi-agent code review. Spawns 3-5 parallel specialist sub-agents that read actual source files, runs mechanical citation verification, and synthesizes a single review artifact. Use for PR-level changes, multi-commit ranges, or…
Systematic documentation audit and maintenance. This skill should be used when documentation may be stale, missing, or misorganized — after feature work, refactors, dependency upgrades, or as a periodic health check. It prescribes folder structure for docs/…
Audit documentation completeness by mapping what a doc set should cover against what it actually covers. Produces a prioritized gap report by topic, not just by file. This skill should be used after shipping features, before releases, or when users report…
Validate that claims in documentation match codebase reality. Extracts verifiable assertions (file paths, commands, function references, behavioral claims, dependencies) from markdown docs and checks them against the actual project. Use after code changes,…
Evaluate documentation information architecture: navigation paths, discoverability, progressive disclosure, cross-linking, and mental model alignment. This skill should be used when restructuring docs, adding new sections, or when users report difficulty…
Assess documentation quality across readability, consistency, audience fit, and prose clarity. Produces a scored review with actionable findings. This skill should be used before releases, during doc reviews, or when documentation feels unclear or…
Consult external LLMs (Gemini, OpenAI/Codex, Qwen) for second opinions, alternative plans, independent reviews, or delegated tasks. Use when a user asks for another model's perspective, wants to compare answers, or requests delegating a subtask to…
