guidelines

Apply consistent, humane UX principles when designing, building, or reviewing command-line tools — command grammar and subcommands, verb and flag naming, plan/apply safety, human vs --json output, help text, error messages, install footprint, and client/daemon splits. Use this skill whenever the user is creating a new CLI tool or adding commands, flags, or output to an existing one; choosing verbs or flag names; designing a tool's --help, dry-run, confirmation, or error messages; or doing a UX/design review of a CLI's surface — even if they don't say "UX". Trigger on mentions of CLI design, subcommand structure, flag conventions, argparse/click/clap/cobra/oclif command surfaces, dry-run vs apply, --json output, shell completions, exit codes, or "review my CLI".

Convert a bitmap/raster image (PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, WebP) into a clean vector file (SVG, PDF, EPS, DXF, or PNG) using the vectorizer.ai API. Use this skill whenever the user wants to vectorize an image, trace a logo, turn a PNG/JPG into an SVG, get a scalable version of a raster graphic, clean up a pixelated logo, prep artwork for print or large-format display, or asks to "convert this to SVG/vector". Trigger even if they don't say "vectorize" — e.g. "make this logo scalable", "I need an SVG of this icon", "trace this bitmap", or "turn this screenshot of a logo into something crisp". Spends vectorizer.ai credits (1 per production render), so it also covers free test renders and cost-aware previews.

Stacey Vetzal's blog writing voice and style guide. Use this skill whenever writing blog posts, articles, or long-form content for Stacey Vetzal, stacey.vetzal.com, or "Stacey on Software". Also use when the user asks to write in Stacey's voice, draft a post, ghostwrite for Stacey, or when any content needs to sound like Stacey wrote it. If you're writing prose that will be published under Stacey's name, this skill applies.

Generate cyberpunk-styled images for blog posts including banners (16:9), callouts (1:1), and diagrams (9:16). Use this skill when creating new blog posts, when asked to generate images, or when updating visuals for existing posts. Creates consistent character-based imagery following the blog's visual identity.

Apply human-centered visual design principles when building, editing, reviewing, or auditing any UI — web pages, dashboards, components, forms, emails, documents, slide decks, or markdown rendered to HTML. Use this skill whenever you're producing or critiquing something a human will look at, especially when generating HTML/CSS/Tailwind, React/Vue/Svelte components, Jinja or ERB templates, design tokens, or styled output. Also use when the user asks things like "make this look better," "clean up the layout," "review this design," "this feels off," "polish the UI," or describes a screen feeling cluttered, busy, untrustworthy, amateur, or hard to scan. Trigger even if the user doesn't say "design" — building UI is design. The skill encodes the spacing, hierarchy, typography, color, accessibility, and motion invariants humans subconsciously use to judge whether a screen feels coherent and trustworthy.

Generate images for Slidev presentations including covers (16:9), section breaks (16:9), concepts (1:1), backgrounds (16:9), and accents (1:1). Abstract-first approach — character is OFF by default. Supports multiple visual styles via scene variants. Use when creating presentation imagery, generating slide visuals, or adding custom graphics to a talk.

Python dependency management with pip and venv. Use this skill when working in a Python project that uses pip, requirements.txt, setup.py, or pyproject.toml without uv.lock. Also use when the user mentions pip, venv, virtualenv, or asks about Python dependency management in a traditional pip-managed project. Provides dependency management patterns and quality gate commands for pip workflows.

Python project management with uv — the fast, Rust-based package and project manager. Use this skill when working in a Python project that has uv.lock, .python-version, or when pyproject.toml uses [tool.uv] or [dependency-groups]. Also use when the user mentions uv, "uv run", "uv add", or asks about Python dependency management in a uv-managed project. Provides project setup, dependency management, running tools, and quality gate commands specific to uv workflows.

Stacey Vetzal's presentation and speaker voice guide. Use this skill whenever writing speaker notes, slide content, presentation scripts, or talk outlines for Stacey Vetzal. Also use when converting blog posts to presentations, creating conference talks, preparing lightning talks, or writing any content Stacey will speak aloud. If you're writing words Stacey will say on stage or in a video, this skill applies. Complements the slidev-presentation skill for slide creation.

Create Slidev markdown presentations from scratch or by converting blog posts. Use when asked to "create a presentation", "make slides", "convert this post to slides", "build a slide deck", or "set up Slidev".
