bilig-workpaper
Use @bilig/headless WorkPaper state for workbook formulas, agent spreadsheet tools, MCP file-backed editing, and XLSX formula bug reports without driving spreadsheet UI.
What this skill does
# Bilig WorkPaper Agent Skill
Use this skill when an agent needs spreadsheet-style formulas but the work should run through files, terminal commands, TypeScript, HTTP routes, or MCP tools instead of Excel UI automation.
## When To Trigger
Trigger this skill for tasks involving:
- workbook-shaped business logic in Node.js services;
- formula readback after writing cells;
- quote, budget, payout, pricing, import-validation, or forecast models;
- agent spreadsheet tools that need deterministic cell addresses;
- MCP clients that can run a stdio server;
- reduced XLSX formula bugs that need a paste-ready report.
Do not trigger it for manual spreadsheet editing, Office macros, VBA, pivots, charts, COM automation, or exact Excel desktop behavior unless the user explicitly asks to compare Bilig against an Excel oracle.
## Command Safety
Do not build shell commands by concatenating user text. Treat the commands below as literal templates, validate workbook paths before use, and reject values containing newlines, backticks, `$(`, `;`, `&`, `|`, `<`, or `>`. Prefer MCP client `command` plus `args` arrays or direct TypeScript calls when inserting user-provided paths or cell references.
## First Choice: MCP
Use MCP when the host can run a stdio server. Configure it as an argument array, not a shell-concatenated string:
```json
{
"command": "npm",
"args": [
"exec",
"--package",
"@bilig/[email protected]",
"--",
"bilig-workpaper-mcp",
"--workpaper",
"./pricing.workpaper.json",
"--init-demo-workpaper",
"--writable"
]
}
```
The useful file-backed tools are:
- `list_sheets`
- `read_range`
- `read_cell`
- `set_cell_contents`
- `get_cell_display_value`
- `export_workpaper_document`
- `validate_formula`
After a write, always read the dependent output cell and export the WorkPaper document.
## Second Choice: Direct TypeScript
Use `@bilig/headless` directly when workbook logic belongs in a service, queue worker, test, or route:
```ts
import { WorkPaper, exportWorkPaperDocument, serializeWorkPaperDocument } from '@bilig/headless'
const workbook = WorkPaper.buildFromSheets({
Inputs: [
['Metric', 'Value'],
['Customers', 20],
['Average revenue', 1200],
],
Summary: [
['Metric', 'Value'],
['Revenue', '=Inputs!B2*Inputs!B3'],
],
})
const inputs = workbook.getSheetId('Inputs')
const summary = workbook.getSheetId('Summary')
if (inputs === undefined || summary === undefined) {
throw new Error('Workbook is missing required sheets')
}
workbook.setCellContents({ sheet: inputs, row: 1, col: 1 }, 32)
const revenue = workbook.getCellDisplayValue({ sheet: summary, row: 1, col: 1 })
const saved = serializeWorkPaperDocument(exportWorkPaperDocument(workbook, { includeConfig: true }))
console.log({ revenue, savedBytes: saved.length })
```
## XLSX Formula Clinic
When the user has a reduced XLSX formula/import bug, generate a local report through an argument array:
```json
{
"command": "npm",
"args": ["exec", "--package", "@bilig/[email protected]", "--", "bilig-formula-clinic", "./reduced.xlsx", "--cells", "Summary!B7,Inputs!B2"]
}
```
The report is local. It does not upload workbook contents. Ask for a reduced public fixture rather than private customer spreadsheets.
## Required Verification
Return proof, not vibes. A successful agent response should include:
- the exact edited sheet and A1 cell;
- before values for relevant inputs and dependent outputs;
- after values read from the recalculated workbook;
- persistence evidence from serialized or exported WorkPaper state;
- restore or reimport proof when file boundaries matter;
- limitations for unsupported formulas or Excel-only features.
If any proof step fails, report the blocker instead of claiming the workbook was updated.

contribute
IncludedLocal-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".
architectural-analysis
IncludedUser-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).

Keywords: MCP, Model Context Protocol, MCP server, MCP tool, stdio transport, SSE transport, tool discovery, resource provider, prompt template, external API integration, Gemini CLI MCP, Claude MCP, agent tools, tool execution, server config.

react-native-skia
IncludedDesign, build, debug, and optimise high-polish animated graphics in React Native or Expo using @shopify/react-native-skia, Reanimated, and Gesture Handler. Use when the user wants canvas-driven UI, shaders, paths, rich text, image filters, sprite fields, Skottie, video frames, snapshots, web CanvasKit setup, or performance tuning for custom motion-heavy elements such as loaders, hero art, cards, charts, progress indicators, particle systems, or gesture-driven surfaces. Also use when the user asks for fluid, glow, glass, blob, parallax, 60fps/120fps, or GPU-friendly animated effects in React Native, even if they do not explicitly say "Skia". Do not use for ordinary form/layout work with standard views.
plaid
IncludedProduct Led AI Development — guides founders from idea to launched product. Six capabilities: Idea (discover a product idea), Validate (pressure-test the idea against fatal flaws, problem reality, competition, and 2-week MVP feasibility), Plan (vision intake + document generation), Design (translate image references into a design.md spec), Launch (go-to-market strategy), and Build (roadmap execution). Use when someone says "PLAID", "plaid idea", "help me find an idea", "product idea", "idea from my business", "idea from my expertise", "plaid validate", "validate my idea", "pressure-test", "is this idea good", "find fatal flaws", "validate the problem", "plan a product", "define my vision", "generate a PRD", "product strategy", "plaid design", "design from image", "translate image to design", "create design.md", "extract design tokens", "plaid launch", "go-to-market", "launch plan", "GTM strategy", "launch playbook", "plaid build", "build the app", "start building", or "execute the roadmap".
nextjs-framer-motion-animations
IncludedAdds production-safe Motion for React or Framer Motion animations to Next.js apps, including reveal, hover and tap micro-interactions, whileInView, stagger, AnimatePresence, layout and layoutId transitions, reorder, scroll-linked UI, and lightweight route-content transitions. Use when the user asks to add, refactor, or debug Motion or Framer Motion in App Router or Pages Router codebases, especially around server/client boundaries, reduced motion, LazyMotion, bundle size, hydration, or route transitions. Avoid for GSAP-style timelines, WebGL or 3D scenes, heavy scroll storytelling, or CSS-only effects unless Motion is explicitly requested.
