Use when processing CodeRabbit review comments, CodeRabbit CLI reports, or `$gobby coderabbit [findings]` requests.

Use when creating, editing, or validating Gobby skills, especially when a skill must change agent behavior or become discoverable through gobby-skills.

Use when coordinating a full gobby build run for an epic or task, especially when the user assigns the current session as coordinator, asks for a coordination epic, wants build agents/worktrees monitored, or wants gobby build bugs fixed so future runs work unattended.

Review an implemented epic against its approved plan, aggregate diff, and child-task validation evidence before final PR or merge handoff.

Methodology for drafting a gobby plan document — phases, task format, TDD compatibility, categories, hierarchy, and dependency notation. Use when drafting or revising a plan artifact.

Review a gobby plan document for missing requirements, bad sequencing, unhandled edge cases, weak testability, and traceability gaps. Use when asked to review or critique a plan.

Artifact-first /gobby plan workflow. Drafts and revises a plan with the user, runs taskless adversarial review after approval, records review history in the plan, and hands approved plans to gobby build.

Interactive /gobby qa launcher. Dispatches the shared qa-reviewer agent for a task.

Required TDD loop for tasks that need red, green, refactor, final-green, and test-quality evidence.

Methodology for PR-aware delivery — probe branch protection, open/gate PRs, land via GitHub when required, or run the direct multi-worktree merge campaign.

When and how to use Gobby's persistent memory system effectively. Covers decision frameworks for what to remember, how to write durable memories, and maintenance patterns.

Launch a merge campaign. Surveys unmerged worktrees and routes to merge-worker (single) or merge-orchestrator (multi).

AST-aware code search, symbol navigation, and dependency graph analysis via the gcode CLI. Use this skill when exploring codebases, finding functions or classes, understanding call graphs, checking blast radius before changes, or navigating large projects. Triggers on: code search, find function, who calls, what imports, blast radius, symbol lookup, file outline, project structure, search codebase, find definition, impact analysis, dependency graph.

Interactive /gobby build wizard. Starts lifecycle automation from a plan file or task ref, or delegates raw ideas to /gobby plan.

Internal methodology for architect-owned test architecture. Produces structured testing strategy prose inside the architecture discovery marker.

How to author, audit, and refresh Gobby technical documentation. Use when writing or rewriting a guide, validating an existing doc against the codebase, generating Mermaid diagrams, or explaining a technical concept to docs readers.

Internal methodology for side-effect-free GitHub issue triage verdicts.

Interactive /gobby review launcher. Dispatches holistic-reviewer for an epic.

Internal methodology for the architecture discovery stage. Produces a concise Architecture Brief for product and planning handoff.

Internal methodology for the ideation discovery stage. Produces a concise Discovery Brief for downstream research, architecture, PRD, and planning.

Internal methodology for the PRD discovery stage. Produces a concise Product Reference Document for implementation planning.

Internal methodology for the research discovery stage. Produces concise evidence and source-backed context for architecture and PRD stages.

Interactive /gobby dev launcher. Dispatches the shared developer agent for a task.

REQUIRED for all image generation requests. Generate and edit images using Nano Banana (Gemini CLI). Handles blog featured images, YouTube thumbnails, icons, diagrams, patterns, illustrations, photos, visual assets, graphics, artwork, pictures. Also routes specialty creative recipes (anime-to-life, character-reference-sheet, figure-to-life, imax-portrait, j-cover, j-idol, j-poses, photo-restoration, real-mecha). Use this skill whenever the user asks to create, generate, make, draw, design, or edit any image or visual content.

Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Generates creative, polished code that avoids generic AI aesthetics. Use when the user asks to build web components, pages, artifacts, posters, or applications, or when any design skill requires project context. Call with 'craft' for shape-then-build, 'teach' for design context setup, or 'extract' to pull reusable components and tokens into the design system.

Use when the user asks to expand a task into a concrete task tree.

Instructions for using context7 MCP to look up library documentation before writing code. Loaded on demand on first code file write/edit.

How to discover and load skills. Covers local skill search, hub search, and when to proactively look for skills.

Anti-slop output mode. Kills filler, summary-stamps, negation framing, follow-up menus, and plain-language restatement. Three compression levels: lite, full, ultra.

How to create tasks effectively via gobby-tasks MCP. Covers task types, priorities, when to use each, and writing effective validation criteria.

Switch the current session to a persona-capable agent definition without spawning a child agent or changing provider/model/isolation. Use with `/gobby persona <name>`.

Use when user asks to 'build rule', 'create rule', 'author rule', 'write rule', 'add enforcement'. Interactive guide for authoring Gobby rule YAML definitions.

How to run code reviews and adversarial reviews. Use when asked to review code, run adversarial review, or when the code review gate blocks.

Enforces default Rust coding standards for agents writing or refactoring Rust: ownership, error handling, types, testing, async, and API design. Use before editing Rust unless the repo provides stricter local rules.
