Get authoritative New Zealand weather from MetService's public JSON endpoints — town forecasts (up to 10 days), current observations, hourly forecasts with wind gusts, and multi-town comparisons. Use this whenever the user asks about NZ weather in any form; a forecast for an NZ town or region; whether it will rain, be fine, windy, or frosty somewhere in NZ; which NZ location is sunniest, warmest, driest, or best for a trip; current conditions or temperature in an NZ town; or mentions MetService by name. Prefer this over web search or global weather models (Open-Meteo, Apple Weather, AccuWeather) for any New Zealand location — MetService is NZ's national weather authority and its town forecasts routinely disagree with global models, especially for rain and wind.

Resolve exceptions in a Woolworths NZ online grocery workflow — handle out-of-stock items, find SKUs for newly-added grocery items, and write resolved SKUs back to the Product attribute notes of Iris Ingredient elements so the next shop hits the cache. Triggered automatically by `shop.sh` phase 3 when the bash bulk-add can't resolve a line; also triggers directly when the user asks to "find a Woolies SKU for this ingredient", "deal with this out-of-stock item", "find a substitute for X at Woolworths", or "resolve these woolies shopping exceptions". For the full weekly shop, the user should run `./scripts/shop.sh` from the terminal — this skill is the exception resolver, not the orchestrator. If the user asks to "do the shopping" or similar generic phrasing in a bare Claude session, point them at `shop.sh` first; only invoke this skill directly when they're explicitly working on exceptions or a single SKU lookup.

Retrieve and faithfully reproduce DoView Planning handbook diagrams to accompany an outcomes-theory answer. Use after a doview-outcomes-answer response when the user asks to see the diagrams, requests the visual model, says "show me the picture/diagram/figure", or whenever an outcomes-theory answer would land better with the original tool diagrams visible. Reproduces Mermaid blocks from the local Markdown edition first (https://github.com/cgbarlow/doview-book), and falls back to the upstream PNG/image-file URLs from doviewplanning.org when a chapter's diagram does not translate cleanly to Mermaid. Faithful — never redraws, simplifies, paraphrases, or substitutes images or Mermaid blocks. Pair with doview-outcomes-answer, which sets up the seed list this skill consumes.

Answer outcomes-theory questions strictly from Dr Paul Duignan's DoView Planning and Outcomes Theory Handbook (2025). Use whenever the user asks for an outcomes-theory perspective, requests a DoView analysis, asks "what does outcomes theory say about…", asks to analyse a strategy/proposal/plan/policy/programme/business-case/M&E plan/contract through an outcomes lens, mentions outcomes theory or outcomes systems or DoView Boards or strategy-outcomes diagrams or theory-of-change, shares a document and wants it critiqued for clarity of outcomes, or wants a formal standalone response with the Summary + Full structure and raw-visible copy-safe URLs that the handbook's Prompt A v1.1.9 demands. Strictly avoids first-person and drafting-advice language; uses outcomes theory as the primary frame and DoView as its applied form. Pair with `doview-image-retriever` to retrieve the original diagrams (Mermaid from this repo or PNG from doviewplanning.org).

A coaching companion for a 13-year-old advanced math student who learns several levels above curriculum. Use whenever he asks for help with a math problem, posts a screenshot or photo of a question, mentions homework, says he is stuck, or asks why something works. Coaches him through problems without giving away answers, hooks his interest with weird real-world applications, basketball, anime, and connections to advanced math, and gently catches him when he has skipped the workbook instructions. Trigger this skill on the first math turn of any conversation and keep using it through the whole session.

Drive the iris-cli command-line tool to search, browse, ask AI questions about, and export content from an Iris architecture-knowledge repository (https://github.com/cgbarlow/iris). Use whenever the user mentions iris in an architecture/systems context, references an iris diagram/element/package/set/collection, asks iris's AI a question about systems, or wants to export an iris artefact as JSON or Markdown — even when the user doesn't say "iris-cli" by name. The skill ensures iris-cli is installed (uv tool), guides login (SQLite mode is interactive; Supabase deployments require --token with an externally-minted PAT because /api/auth/login is disabled), prefers --json for machine-parsable output when chaining results, and routes the user to the correct iris-api backend host (not the SvelteKit frontend, not the iris-mcp service).

Interactive prompt engineering coach that elevates vague prompts through Socratic dialogue, multiple transformation styles, and guided learning. Use when improving prompts, learning agentic engineering, or wanting coached guidance rather than automated transformation. NEVER auto-executes - always displays and asks first.

Interactive claude-flow orchestration coach that guides users through swarm topology selection, agent deployment, memory configuration, and SPARC workflows. Use when learning claude-flow, choosing between swarm vs hive-mind, selecting agents, or optimizing multi-agent coordination. NEVER auto-executes - always displays recommendations and asks first.

File a New Zealand individual IR3 income tax return for the 2026 tax year by driving the Inland Revenue myIR portal (https://myir.ird.govt.nz/) in the browser. Use whenever the user mentions an IR3, NZ tax return, IRD return, "doing my taxes" or "filing my taxes" in a NZ context, residual income tax, IETC, PIE tax adjustment, ACC earners' levy, schedular payments, or provisional tax — even if they do not say "IR3" by name. The skill pauses for the user to sign in via RealMe, navigates Income tax → Returns and transactions → File return, uses IRD's pre-populated data, prompts inline only for genuinely missing fields or judgement calls, and refuses to click final Submit without an explicit fresh "yes submit". Grounded in the official IR3G (March 2026) guide bundled in references/.

Convert a PDF file to ebook formats (epub, mobi, azw3/Kindle) using Calibre. Use when the user wants to convert a PDF to an ebook format.

Interactive timesheet entry — collects work description, date, start/end times via prompts, calculates hours, appends to .campaign/timesheet.md
