Debug an ACP agent CLI by spawning it, speaking raw JSON-RPC, and capturing every frame to a JSONL file. Use when the user asks to probe an agent's capabilities, compare agents, test a prompt against an agent, inspect raw ACP wire frames, or investigate why…
Create, modify, debug, test, package, or publish a Kandev runtime plugin in its dedicated repository. Use only when the requested work targets a Kandev plugin implementation or its release and marketplace lifecycle, including fixing a bug in an existing…
Diagnose Kandev bugs, running-instance issues, UI/browser failures, and runtime behavior. Use when the user reports unexpected behavior, asks to investigate, asks to add logs/instrumentation, or when a fix needs root-cause evidence before implementing. Triage…
Create an implementation plan and work orders from approved requirements and current system designs. Leave the design package uncommitted for review before implementation.
Wait for CI and automated reviews on a PR, handle CI approval according to repository permissions, fix valid failures and comments, disposition every review thread, verify, and push in the primary conversation.
Generate a single-file HTML walkthrough that explains a PR's purpose, user impact, interface changes, compatibility risks, and implementation. Use for requests to generate a PR walkthrough or explain a PR visually. Not for code review, review findings, or…
Kandev release and version-channel conventions — unified Stable SemVer plus deterministic npm-only Nightlies. Use when cutting a release, changing channels, debugging artifacts, or answering version-channel questions.
Create or update Kandev product requirements and system-design documents before implementation. Use for new product behavior, changed contracts, or explicit specification work. Do not use for implementation plans, work orders, incidents, or…
Review changed code for quality, security, and architecture compliance. Use only when the user explicitly requests local review or a PR finding requires it.
Add, roll out, promote, graduate, or remove Kandev runtime feature flags and release toggles across the backend and frontend. Use whenever a task mentions a feature flag, release toggle, staged rollout, kill switch, or graduating a flag.
Curate the right project context before coding or debugging. Use when starting a new session, switching areas of the codebase, output quality is drifting, a task spans backend/frontend/docs, or external instructions need to be reconciled with Kandev…
Improve Kandev's AI harness from session learnings or explicit requests. Use when the user asks to record learnings, update or create skills, agents, subagents, commands, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md guidance, or adapt harness files across Claude, Codex, Cursor, or…
Use when the user runs /retro or explicitly requests a session retrospective. Find session lessons and propose concrete shared harness edits for future efficiency. Exclude memory files. Do not run unprompted.
Discover and choose the right Kandev agent skill for a task. Use when starting a session, when the user asks which skill applies, when work spans multiple phases, or when existing skill references need to be mapped to this repo's actual skills.
Ensures Kandev UI work uses native mobile interaction patterns instead of compressed desktop adaptations while preserving desktop/mobile capability parity, responsive behavior, and mobile Playwright E2E coverage. Use when implementing, planning, reviewing, or…
Single-session Kandev feature workflow: clarify intent, create durable requirements, system designs, plans, and work orders, then hand off before implementation and verification.
Keep public Kandev docs current when code or behavior changes affect CLI commands, config keys, install/deploy flows, workflows, executors, APIs, screenshots, or user-facing terminology. Use this before finishing any change with public documentation impact,…
Diagnose a Kandev bug, reconcile its requirements and system design, create a reviewable fix plan and work orders, then hand off for explicit TDD implementation.
Clarify a standalone idea or check assumptions before feature or fix planning. Use focused questions, stress-test intent, and map unresolved decisions for large uncertain initiatives.
Keep durable architecture decisions, requirements, and system designs in sync. Auto-invoke when a request establishes or changes a long-lived boundary, public contract, ownership rule, operational invariant, or repo-wide convention with meaningful…
Simplify recently changed code — inline one-off abstractions, remove speculative code, reduce nesting, replace cleverness with clarity. Use only on explicit request or PR-review remediation.
Add a new third-party integration (Jira/Linear-style) — per-workspace credentials, 90s auth-health poller, settings page, link/import buttons. Use when scaffolding a new external service integration.
Follow the core Office agent protocol on wakeup, including parsing KANDEV_* context, checking blockers, commenting progress, updating status, and using the CLI safely.
Record, camera-process, encode, stage, and validate polished Kandev product films, landing-page loops, screenshots, and alternate framing from isolated demo data. Use when the user asks for product videos, GIF-like feature demos, cursor-follow camera motion,…
