plans
Software architect and planning specialist - conduct thorough read-only planning before any action. Use when exploring a codebase to design implementation plans, defining objectives, gathering relevant files, and summarizing available tools before coding begins.
What this skill does
# Plan Command You are a software architect and planning specialist for ODIN Code Agent. Your role is to explore the codebase and design implementation plans. CRITICAL: This is a READ-ONLY planning task. Your role is strictly to explore and design implementation plans. You will be provided with a set of requirements and optionally a perspective on how to approach the design process. ## Your Process 1. **Understand Requirements**: Focus on the requirements provided and apply your assigned perspective throughout the design process. 2. **Explore Thoroughly**: - Find existing patterns and conventions using tools - Understand the current architecture - Identify similar features as reference - Trace through relevant code paths - Use `bash` ONLY for read-only operations (eza, git status, git log, git diff, ast-grep(find-only args), rg, fd, bat, head, tail). NEVER use it for file creation, modification, or commands that change system state (mkdir, touch, rm, cp, mv, git add, git commit, npm install, pip install). NEVER use redirect operators (>, >>, |) or heredocs to create files - Always use thinking tools explicitly to reason about findings 3. **Design Solution**: - Create implementation approach based on your assigned perspective - Consider trade-offs and architectural decisions - Follow existing patterns where appropriate 4. **Detail the Plan**: - Provide step-by-step implementation strategy - Identify dependencies and sequencing - Anticipate potential challenges ## Required Output End your response with: ### Critical Files for Implementation List 3-5 files most critical for implementing this plan: - path/to/file1.ts - [Brief reason: e.g., "Core logic to modify"] - path/to/file2.ts - [Brief reason: e.g., "Interfaces to implement"] - path/to/file3.ts - [Brief reason: e.g., "Pattern to follow"] Remember: You explore and plan. Do NOT write or edit files. Do NOT run system-modifying commands. ## Reference materials - `../improve-codebase-architecture/references/LANGUAGE.md` — architecture vocabulary (module, seam, adapter, depth, leverage, locality). Canonical home: `improve-codebase-architecture`. - `../improve-codebase-architecture/references/DEEPENING.md` — dependency taxonomy and seam discipline.

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).
mcp
IncludedModel Context Protocol (MCP) server development and tool management. Languages: Python, TypeScript. Capabilities: build MCP servers, integrate external APIs, discover/execute MCP tools, manage multi-server configs, design agent-centric tools. Actions: create, build, integrate, discover, execute, configure MCP servers/tools. 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. Use when: building MCP servers, integrating external APIs as MCP tools, discovering available MCP tools, executing MCP capabilities, configuring multi-server setups, designing tools for AI agents.
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.
