rebel-system

Helps users connect and use a service in Rebel when it isn't already in the built-in connector catalog. Acts as an expert advisor — runs the full build-vs-buy check (catalog, MCP Registry, community) before scaffolding a custom MCP server and guiding research, implementation, security review, and contribution.

Add, update, or remove connectors (MCP servers) in Rebel. Searches the built-in connector catalog first before suggesting custom builds. Handles setup, configuration, and security review for community connectors.

Capture citable sources (meetings, documents, files, media, web content) as structured files in memory/sources/ with provenance metadata for traceability.

Rules for writing error messages, toasts, banners, and recovery copy in Rebel's voice — dry, calm, helpful, and never apologetic. Use whenever you add or rewrite any user-facing error string.

Guides users through adding new tools or capabilities to an existing connector (MCP server). Handles eligibility, workspace setup, connector research, implementation via Software Engineer workflow, local testing, and PR submission with an extension-specific template.

Help users celebrate impactful wins and surface important learnings by analyzing their recent communications and activities.

Guidelines for maintaining single sources of truth and using signposting to connect documentation without duplication

Evaluate a finalised meeting transcript and distribute relevant content to other spaces, deciding per space whether to copy the full transcript, write a sanitised summary, or skip.

Semi-autonomous maintenance skill that identifies stale content, consolidates duplicated information, safely keeps Chief-of-Staff README concise, and maintains source file hygiene in any space's memory system.

Compact memory update skill — gated-structured reasoning: no-op gate → per-fact source/sensitivity classification → save/skip decision → routing → write.

Share or move memory content across space boundaries (also: move this to [space], share the bits about X, copy into [space], promote from Chief-of-Staff). Copies the least-derived safe shape — full copy, partial copy, or summary — with in-chat approval before writing.

How to edit an important document carefully — small steps, prioritise by ease × value, show before/after, get approval, keep changes surgical, and signpost rather than duplicate.

Read and search Mac Stickies app content — list, filter by color, search by text, or read specific notes

Packages and validates skills for external distribution (zip files). Use this when preparing a skill for sharing outside Rebel's ecosystem. Includes init, validate, and package scripts. For creating skills within Rebel, see write-skill instead.

Generate a rich longlist of image ideas by deliberately spinning up multiple contrasting creative perspectives (comic, infographic, storybook, documentary, etc.), score into a shortlist, then optionally generate the images using Nano Banana or OpenAI image generation. Use for tutorials, decks, blog posts, landing pages — anywhere you need a cohesive-but-varied image set.

Security review checklist for scripts and dependencies. This skill should be used when creating, reviewing, or packaging scripts (JavaScript/Node.js, Python, Bash) that will be distributed or executed, especially those with external dependencies.

Generic, parameterized flow for opening a pull request against a Rebel open-source repository. Called from a parent skill (e.g. build-custom-mcp-server, extend-mcp-server) once local changes are ready to ship. Covers fork, branch, commit (via GitHub Git Data API for atomic multi-file commits), push, and PR open. Uses the GitHub REST API + OAuth by default; gh CLI is a documented alternative. Does not cover CI triage, review responses, rebasing, or merge — those belong to a follow-up workflow.

Structured process for evaluating and selecting third-party libraries, utilities, and products based on community longevity, API design quality, and project-specific criteria.

Creates focused product specs for apps by probing requirements, validating feasibility for AI-assisted development platforms, and guiding users to impactful solutions leveraging modern AI coding capabilities.
