Product go/no-go on a framed spec. Use after auto-frame, before planning.

Engineering go/no-go on a plan. Use after auto-plan, before execution.

Implement approved plan slices. Use as the execute-stage entry point.

Bound and de-risk a request into SPEC.md. Use when the objective is clear but scope needs constraining.

Sharpen a vague idea into a bounded objective. Use before framing when scope is undefined.

Build project truth from repo evidence. Use when steering is missing or stale.

Turn an approved spec into ordered slices. Use when framing is accepted and planning begins.

Recover active change and next action from artifacts. Use on fresh session with existing work.

Persistent Chrome/Chromium browser automation skill built on nodriver. Use when a page needs JavaScript rendering, authorized login/session continuity, clicking or typing, DOM snapshots with stable refs, screenshots, or multi-step look-think-act flows that ordinary WebFetch/search cannot complete. Auto-starts a headless or headed Chrome daemon, can use an isolated skill profile or the user's Chrome profile, and preserves one tab across calls; not for static pages, simple searches, JSON APIs, or one-off scrapes.

Grok-primary deep research skill for source-backed web work. Use when the task needs current web research, grounded citations, supplementary Tavily/Firecrawl source discovery, high-fidelity page-to-Markdown fetch, Tavily site mapping, verbatim quote extraction, source reranking, or reusable multi-step research sessions. Use as a supplement when ordinary search results feel incomplete, thinly sourced, or need more URLs, quotes, fetched pages, or session composition; not for simple one-off facts.

Convert a URL or HTML into clean Markdown with metadata using markmaton. Handles browser capture for JS-heavy pages and deterministic HTML-to-Markdown conversion in one skill.

Use when a task needs Chrome DevTools from the shell: automate a live Chrome browser with `chrome-devtools`, inspect accessibility snapshots and UIDs, click/fill/navigate pages, evaluate JavaScript, inspect console and network activity, take screenshots, run Lighthouse, capture performance traces, or connect to an existing debuggable Chrome. This is CLI mode, not MCP client setup.

Use when a task needs Playwright-backed browser automation from the shell: open or attach to browser sessions, inspect snapshots and element refs, click/type/fill forms, debug Playwright tests, inspect console/network/storage, run Playwright snippets, capture screenshots/traces/videos, or generate reliable test code. Prefer for repeatable browser workflows and Playwright test work; not for static HTTP fetches, JSON APIs, or simple web search.

Break down complex tasks into a structured plan and trackable Issue CSV, then execute autonomously. Use when a task has multiple steps, needs research before starting, requires status tracking, or benefits from a structured breakdown before execution.

Delegate tasks to Claude Code CLI for prototyping, debugging, and code review. Supports multi-turn sessions via SESSION_ID.

Delegate tasks to Codex CLI for prototyping, debugging, code review, and implementation. Supports multi-turn sessions via SESSION_ID.

Delegate tasks to Gemini CLI for prototyping, debugging, code review, and web search. Supports multi-turn sessions via SESSION_ID.

Comprehensive PDF manipulation toolkit for extracting text and tables, creating new PDFs, merging/splitting documents, and handling forms. When Claude needs to fill in a PDF form or programmatically process, generate, or analyze PDF documents at scale.

Presentation creation, editing, and analysis. When Claude needs to work with presentations (.pptx files) for: (1) Creating new presentations, (2) Modifying or editing content, (3) Working with layouts, (4) Adding comments or speaker notes, or any other presentation tasks

Comprehensive spreadsheet creation, editing, and analysis with support for formulas, formatting, data analysis, and visualization. When Claude needs to work with spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv, etc) for: (1) Creating new spreadsheets with formulas and formatting, (2) Reading or analyzing data, (3) Modify existing spreadsheets while preserving formulas, (4) Data analysis and visualization in spreadsheets, or (5) Recalculating formulas

Think and deliver like a management consultant from McKinsey, BCG, or Bain. Use when the user wants to: (1) Structure a business problem with hypothesis-driven decomposition, (2) Run strategy analysis with professional frameworks — market sizing, competitive landscape, financial modeling, SWOT, Porter's, (3) Build MBB-quality deliverables — executive summaries, strategy deck outlines, decision memos, (4) Apply firm-specific methodology — McKinsey verdict-first, BCG framework-first, or Bain decision-first, (5) Package analysis for non-consulting audiences — investor pitches, board presentations, conference talks. Produces structured analysis and deliverable CONTENT. For visual production, hand off to a delivery skill for slides, documents, or spreadsheets.

Create presentation decks as high-fidelity PDF files using web technology (HTML, CSS, Tailwind, Font Awesome). Use when the user wants a polished, pixel-perfect deck with responsive layouts, rich typography, icons, and modern design. For editable PPTX output, use deck-design-ppt instead.

Create visual identity systems — color palettes, font pairings, style direction, and rendered preview PDFs. Use when the user needs a cohesive design system before building a deck, presentation, document, or any visual project. Works for consulting engagements, product pitches, personal brands, or any context requiring a unified visual language. Produces a markdown design brief, a JS config, and a preview PDF.

Create new presentation decks as native editable PPTX files with consulting-quality design. Use when the user wants to build a new slide deck, presentation, or pitch deck from a brief or topic. For editing existing .pptx files, use the pptx skill instead.

Use Exa Search API via `exa_search` for high-signal web retrieval and citation-ready summaries.

Complete browser automation with Playwright. Auto-detects dev servers, writes clean test scripts to $TMPDIR (or /tmp). Test pages, fill forms, take screenshots, check responsive design, validate UX, test login flows, check links, automate any browser task. Use when user wants to test websites, automate browser interactions, validate web functionality, or perform any browser-based testing.

Convert a URL or HTML into clean Markdown with metadata using markmaton. Handles browser capture for JS-heavy pages and deterministic HTML-to-Markdown conversion in one skill.
