Repeatable protocol for updating Neo's identity (what Neo IS) coherently across ALL surfaces that encode it — README, VISION, learn/benefits, package.json, GitHub repo metadata, portal app, and the build-generated SEO files. Treats FACTS (version, MCP-server count, Node req, dates) as single-source-derive and FRAMING (taglines, positioning) as audience-segmented against a canonical apex. Triggers: Use when changing Neo's tagline / positioning / description / keywords / pillar story; when a maintainer says 'update the identity / README / branding / how we describe Neo'; when a shipped capability outgrows the current framing; or when a fact (version, server count, requirement) drifts across surfaces. Foundation: ADR 0018.
Switch into evidence-backed convergence-pressure mindset when reviewing a peer's design proposal. Suspends Auto Mode "ack-and-move-on" bias for the duration. Triggers: Use this skill IMMEDIATELY when reviewing an Ideation Sandbox discussion / architectural proposal, an epic shape, a skill shape, a roadmap or milestone proposal, or a `/lead-role` convergence artifact. Do NOT auto-fire on ordinary status broadcasts where the right action is mark-read or "no collision".
Standardized guidelines and procedural execution flow for opening a Pull Request. CRITICAL: Do NOT run default `npx playwright test` (use custom configs). MANDATORY ROI WARNING: Skipping the PR body template guarantees CI lint failure. Triggers: Code modifications complete; before opening PR — stepping-back reflection, commit format, cross-family review mandate, post-comment A2A commentId hand-off (author→reviewer) per review-response-protocol.md §14, Evidence declaration line for substrate/runtime-AC PRs per [evidence-ladder.md](learn/agentos/evidence-ladder.md), FAIR-band stance declaration per §1.3.
Closeout protocol for parent epics — answers "we resolved all epic subs, are we done now?" with a structured matrix + verdict recommendation (close / keep open / create missing subs / retire-supersede). Sibling to epic-review (which handles entry); this is the exit gate. Triggers: Use this skill when the last required sub of an epic closes, when a team member claims an epic is complete or substrate-side complete, before closing an epic as COMPLETED, or when a peer broadcasts an epic-readiness signal that needs reconciliation against parent ACs.
Standardized guidelines and templates for structuring Pull Request reviews so feedback is actionable, encouraging, and extractable by the Native Edge Graph. MANDATORY ROI WARNING: Skipping the review template guarantees CI lint failure. Triggers: Reviewing a PR (yours or peer's) — structured eval metrics, graph ingestion tags, severity ladder, restates §0 merge gate, post-comment A2A commentId hand-off (reviewer→author) per guide §9 + §9.4 cold-cache exception, Evidence Audit + Source-of-Authority sections (template §) for substrate/runtime-AC PRs and authority-citation review-comments, FAIR-band declaration verification.
Authoritative guide on how to architect, format, and structure new Anthropic Progressive Disclosure skills. Triggers: Use before creating OR modifying any `.agents/skills/**/*.md` files — Progressive Disclosure architecture (Map vs World Atlas), YAML frontmatter, skill structure. Complementary to `turn-memory-pre-flight` (load-runtime-effect dimension vs skill-shape dimension).
Authoritative protocol for creating Neo.mjs GitHub issues. Enforces duplicate sweep, Fat Ticket body structure, strict label rules, title hygiene, and the six-stage challenge chain at creation time. CRITICAL: Do NOT run default `npx playwright test` to verify issues; Neo uses multiple custom playwright configs (e.g., unit, e2e) which must be explicitly targeted. Use immediately before calling the create_issue MCP tool. Triggers: Use this skill before any invocation of the create_issue MCP tool. This is the creation-side dual of ticket-intake (which consumes existing tickets).
Authoritative protocol defining the "Pre-Execution Reflection Gate". Mandates architectural validation, negative ROI calculation, and duplicate sweeps before an agent is permitted to begin working on a GitHub Issue. Triggers: Use this skill immediately when assigned a new ticket, before checking out a branch or writing any codebase modifications.
