loop-briefing
Notify the user via Pushover when an autonomous Claude Code /loop is BLOCKED and needs human input/decision, or has FINISHED with no meaningful work remaining. Renders a full monospace incident-report PNG (session/project/branch/git-status/commits/details, iPhone-13-mini tuned) and sends a short action-focused message - emergency+receipt for blocked, high-priority for done. Use this proactively during a /loop at the moment you must stop and ask, or when you are about to stop scheduling further wakeups. Do NOT use for routine progress. TRIGGERS - loop blocked, loop done, loop needs input, notify when blocked, loop finished, stop the loop and notify, autonomous loop briefing.
What this skill does
# loop-briefing
> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
The original goal skill: a contextually-invoked briefing for autonomous `/loop` runs. Built on the TS core `pushover_core.ts loop-brief`, which gathers context (project, cwd, branch, `git status`, recent commits, plus any details you pass), renders it (Satori → PNG), and sends it (emergency+receipt for blocked, high-priority for done).
```bash
# BLOCKED — needs a decision now (emergency, alarms until you ack):
env -u HTTPS_PROXY -u HTTP_PROXY bun "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/_lib/pushover_core.ts" loop-brief \
--kind blocked --reason "must choose auth method" --body /tmp/decision_options.txt
# DONE — no meaningful work remains (high priority, no alarm):
env -u HTTPS_PROXY -u HTTP_PROXY bun "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/_lib/pushover_core.ts" loop-brief \
--kind done --reason "all tasks complete, matrix exhausted"
```
## When to fire (the two-situation rule)
1. **Blocked** — the loop cannot safely continue without a human: needs a decision, clarification, review, or a choice between options. Pair this with an `AskUserQuestion` call in the session so the options are presented in plain language with tradeoffs.
2. **Done** — no meaningful remaining work under the initial or updated directives; the loop should stop scheduling further wakeups (CronDelete).
Do **not** fire for routine progress. The `--body -` form reads details from stdin.
## Post-Execution Reflection
After this skill completes, check before closing:
1. **Did the block/done briefing fire at the right moment with the right git and session context?** If it fired on routine progress or missed a real block, fix the trigger.
2. **Was the emergency vs high-priority routing correct?** Blocked = emergency+receipt, done = high-priority — fix if swapped.
Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.

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.
