Run one high-stakes decision through a council of 5 ephemeral advisor lenses that answer in parallel, peer-review each other anonymously, and get synthesised into a single verdict — agreements, clashes, blind spots, a recommendation, and the one thing to do first. Adapted from Karpathy's LLM Council. For genuine decisions with stakes and tradeoffs, not factual lookups or creation tasks.
PR-time dual-delta read of coverage/complexity/module-size/dependency-cycles vs. orphan-ref baseline; ratchet+absolute thresholds; LLM curation only on breach.
Shrink a SKILL.md without changing meaning — deterministic cleanup first, LLM rewrite only if the target isn't met. Test-file anchors preserved; frontmatter, headings, and code blocks never modified. Dry-run by default; --apply writes.
Capture insights, test hypotheses, and promote confirmed patterns to rules (adapted for multi-agent environments). Default mode is single- developer/session capture to knowledge/. Team mode aggregates recurring review feedback across the fleet into rule-promotion candidates — fleet-wide patterns promote to shared workspace rules, single-repo patterns stay local.
Create, update, and validate the team's Definition of Done (docs/definition- of-done.md). create/update scaffolds from a template and grills the manager for team items; validate walks a diff/PR against the checklist (met/unmet/not-applicable). Signal-only contract referencing existing enforcement (architect, security, audit-*, guardrails) — never gates a commit. Consumed by codereview.
Proactive cadence summary over a knowledge root — 'what changed / what needs you today' without being asked. Deterministic core (octopus briefing, over the octopus kr registry) computes the change-delta since a per-root watermark and composes octopus hygiene + synthesize; this skill narrates it, grounded to source nodes, on the cheapest tier.
Audit a registered knowledge root (docs/, standards, auto-memory, consigliere workspace) for decay — stale nodes, broken links, orphans, concluded items outside their archive. Deterministic checks via octopus hygiene over the octopus kr registry; this skill adds --gaps judgment and --fix confirmation. Read-only by default; --fix is reversible.
Surface cross-node connections in a knowledge root. The deterministic core (octopus synthesize, over the octopus kr registry) ranks candidates — shared-target, co-mention, and --node relevance (forgotten-but-relevant); this skill judges which are real, flags contradictions, and seeds missing links with --fix.
