Generate Architecture Decision Records — use when asked to document a decision, create an ADR, record why we chose X, or capture architectural rationale.
Generate documentation for code — use when asked to document a module, generate API docs, create a README for code, or write reference documentation. Triggers the deterministic doc-gen workflow (analyze → generate via documenter agent → write).
Check devkit health — which external CLIs (codex, gemini, gh, rtk, sg, gcli) are installed, which agents are available, which skills are ready to use. Use when asked about devkit health, devkit status, "is devkit working?", "what's installed?", "what devkit capabilities do I have?", diagnosing devkit setup issues, or running /devkit:health. Read-only diagnostic, safe to auto-invoke.
Fan-out PR review that runs BOTH `/devkit:tri-review` AND `/pr-review-toolkit:review-pr` in parallel for maximum coverage, then presents unified results — this skill does not compete with its sub-skills, it delegates to both simultaneously. Use when the user asks for "mega PR review", "mega-pr", "mega review", "full PR review with everything", "both review tools", "maximum coverage review", or explicitly wants every available reviewer looking at a change at once (Claude + Codex + Gemini model diversity PLUS specialized aspect reviewers like silent-failure-hunter, type-design-analyzer, test-analyzer, code-reviewer). Worth the extra cost when: the PR is high-stakes and the user wants every angle covered, or before merging a critical or hard-to-revert change. Do NOT use when the user only wants one review system (use tri-review or pr-review-toolkit:review-pr directly). Do NOT use for routine code review where a single reviewer suffices. This is deliberate overkill for when you want absolutely everything.
Generate a codebase onboarding guide — use when asked to explain this codebase, help understand the architecture, give a tour of the repo, or onboard a new contributor. Triggers the deterministic onboard workflow (analyze structure → architect via researcher agent → write guide).
Full end-to-end PR pipeline — validate → necessity-check → lint (loop) → test (loop) → security scan → doc-check → changelog → create-pr → monitor reviews (loop). Takes a branch from "code done" to "merged" with every gate enforced. Use when the user asks to "submit a PR", "open a pull request", "ship this", "make this PR-ready", "finalize this branch", or wants the full pipeline run end-to-end with CI monitoring and reviewer-comment handling automated. Worth the ceremony when: lint and test gates must pass before the PR opens, docs need syncing alongside code (README, ROADMAP, SKILL.md, workflows), security scan is required, or the user wants reviewer comments automatically classified and responded to. Do NOT use for a quick commit+push+PR without gates — use `/commit-commands:commit-push-pr` for that lighter path. Do NOT use when already mid-PR and just handling existing review comments in isolation. Do NOT use on the main branch or with uncommitted changes — the validate step will block you. This is devkit
Install devkit coding rules to ~/.claude/rules/ for Claude Code language-specific auto-activation. Use when the user explicitly asks to set up devkit rules, install language rules, or run /devkit:setup-rules. One-shot installer with side effects (writes to ~/.claude/rules/) — user-only invocation, never auto-triggered. Under non-Claude hosts, use AGENTS.md and resources/rules/ as reference instead of installing Claude rules.
Three independent code reviews (smart + general + fast model tiers running Claude, Codex, and Gemini) with consolidated findings — use when the user asks for tri-review, triple code review, three-way code review, multi-model code review, consensus code review, or says "get three opinions on this diff/PR/change before I ship". Worth the extra cost when the change is high-stakes, the user doesn't trust a single-model review, or they want breadth of perspectives over depth. Do NOT use for bug diagnosis (use tri-debug), security audits (use tri-security), or comparing implementation approaches on greenfield work (use tri-dispatch). Do NOT use for routine "can you review this PR" requests where a single-model pass is fine.
