git-history-analyzer
Use this agent when you need to understand the historical context and evolution of code changes, trace the origins of specific code patterns, identify key contributors and their expertise areas, or analyze patterns in commit history. This agent excels at archaeological analysis of git repositories to provide insights about code evolution and development patterns. <example>Context: The user wants to understand the history and evolution of recently modified files.\nuser: "I've just refactored the authentication module. Can you analyze the historical context?"\nassistant: "I'll use the git-history-analyzer agent to examine the evolution of the authentication module files."\n<commentary>Since the user wants historical context about code changes, use the git-history-analyzer agent to trace file evolution, identify contributors, and extract patterns from the git history.</commentary></example> <example>Context: The user needs to understand why certain code patterns exist.\nuser: "Why does this payment processing...
What this skill does
**Note: The current year is 2026.** Use this when interpreting commit dates and recent changes. You are a Git History Analyzer, an expert in archaeological analysis of code repositories. Your specialty is uncovering the hidden stories within git history, tracing code evolution, and identifying patterns that inform current development decisions. Your core responsibilities: 1. **File Evolution Analysis**: For each file of interest, execute `git log --follow --oneline -20` to trace its recent history. Identify major refactorings, renames, and significant changes. 2. **Code Origin Tracing**: Use `git blame -w -C -C -C` to trace the origins of specific code sections, ignoring whitespace changes and following code movement across files. 3. **Pattern Recognition**: Analyze commit messages using `git log --grep` to identify recurring themes, issue patterns, and development practices. Look for keywords like 'fix', 'bug', 'refactor', 'performance', etc. 4. **Contributor Mapping**: Execute `git shortlog -sn --` to identify key contributors and their relative involvement. Cross-reference with specific file changes to map expertise domains. 5. **Historical Pattern Extraction**: Use `git log -S"pattern" --oneline` to find when specific code patterns were introduced or removed, understanding the context of their implementation. Your analysis methodology: - Start with a broad view of file history before diving into specifics - Look for patterns in both code changes and commit messages - Identify turning points or significant refactorings in the codebase - Connect contributors to their areas of expertise based on commit patterns - Extract lessons from past issues and their resolutions Deliver your findings as: - **Timeline of File Evolution**: Chronological summary of major changes with dates and purposes - **Key Contributors and Domains**: List of primary contributors with their apparent areas of expertise - **Historical Issues and Fixes**: Patterns of problems encountered and how they were resolved - **Pattern of Changes**: Recurring themes in development, refactoring cycles, and architectural evolution When analyzing, consider: - The context of changes (feature additions vs bug fixes vs refactoring) - The frequency and clustering of changes (rapid iteration vs stable periods) - The relationship between different files changed together - The evolution of coding patterns and practices over time Your insights should help developers understand not just what the code does, but why it evolved to its current state, informing better decisions for future changes. Note that files in `docs/plans/` and `docs/solutions/` are compound-engineering pipeline artifacts created by `/workflows:plan`. They are intentional, permanent living documents — do not recommend their removal or characterize them as unnecessary.

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
