Produce a themed Slack post announcing Ark releases. Pulls from BOTH the Ark core repo (mckinsey/agents-at-scale-ark) and the Marketplace repo (mckinsey/agents-at-scale-marketplace), validates docs links, groups features by theme with relevant emoji, and ends with a "Coming next" section sourced from the current sprint on the ARK project board. Invoke when the user asks for a "release announcement", "slack post", "what's new since vX", "changelog for

Guidance for developing the Ark Kubernetes operator. Use when modifying Go types, CRDs, controllers, or webhooks. Helps with CRD generation and Helm chart sync issues.

Structured workflow for drafting NEW GitHub issues with codebase research, duplicate detection, task breakdowns, and testing approach. Always asks clarifying questions and shows the draft for approval before creating. For searching, listing, viewing, or updating existing issues, use the "issues" skill instead.

Run and write Ark Chainsaw tests with mock-llm. Use for running tests, debugging failures, or creating new e2e tests.

Consolidate open Dependabot PRs into a single integration branch. Use when the user asks to "consolidate dependabot", "merge dependabot PRs", "batch dependency updates", or mentions dependabot PR management.

Set up and install the Ark platform in a Kubernetes cluster. Supports default mode (existing cluster) and isolated e2e testing mode (dedicated Kind cluster). Use when the user wants to install, deploy, test, or configure Ark.

CVE research and security patch workflow for Ark. Provides CVE API integration, mitigation strategies, and security-focused PR templates. Works with research, analysis, and setup skills for comprehensive vulnerability fixing.

Set up N isolated minikube clusters, one per Git worktree, for parallel Ark branch development. Use when the user wants to run multiple branches simultaneously, set up isolated Kubernetes environments per branch, create git worktrees with dedicated clusters, or configure devspace contexts for multi-branch development.

Use this skill to build, implement, and test Vizro dashboards (Phase 2). Activate when the user wants to create a working app, says "just build it", or has data ready for implementation. Requires spec files from the dashboard-design skill (Phase 1), or user confirmation to skip design.

Use this skill first when the user wants to design or plan a dashboard, especially Vizro dashboards. Enforces a 3-step workflow (requirements, layout, visualization) before implementation. Activate when the user asks to create, design, or plan a dashboard. For implementation, use the dashboard-build skill after completing Steps 1-3.

Use this skill when designing or building Vizro dashboard layouts — grid configuration, component sizing, filter/parameter placement, selector types, or container patterns. Activate when the user is creating wireframes, defining page structure, placing controls, or sizing charts.

Use this skill when adding cross-filter, cross-highlight, drill-through, or data export interactions to a Vizro dashboard — both for choosing the right interaction pattern during design and for implementing actions in code. Activate when the user wants clicks on a chart or table to filter or highlight other charts, tables, or figures, needs cross-page navigation with pre-set filters, or wants users to download data.

Use this skill when choosing chart types, applying Plotly Express conventions, configuring colors, or building KPI cards for Vizro dashboards. Activate when the user asks which chart fits their data, needs custom chart functions, wants to set colors or palettes, or is creating KPI metric cards.

Use this skill when writing or debugging Vizro YAML dashboard configurations — component syntax, data_manager registration, custom function wiring, filter/parameter setup, or AG Grid tables. Activate when the user is building a Vizro app, encountering YAML or runtime errors, or asking about Vizro component patterns.
