Skills

Skill	Description
best-practices	The baseline for every code change. Branching (never main), investigate before building, ask before assuming, TDD, DRY, simplify after implementation, update-docs when done, lint before committing.
test-driven-development	Write failing tests first against real infrastructure. No mocks. Red-green-refactor.
plan-driven-development	Versioned plan files in `plans/` for multi-milestone features. Builds on best-practices. Skill audit before planning, scenario map for complex changes, plan-vs-reality audit before PR, multi-agent coordination across context windows.
user-research	Product-manager-grade discovery before building a user-facing feature — problem statement, jobs-to-be-done, core flow, and a decision matrix. Output is a short brief the requester approves, with open decisions surfaced as explicit questions. Invoked by plan-driven-development and give-me-five.
bug-fix	Strict 10-step protocol for fixing bugs. Reproduce first, then fix. Each step gates on success criteria. Supports Chrome browser debugging for UI bugs.
change-log	Log each feature or fix in `CHANGELOG.md` using plain, business-user-friendly language. Powers the product updates blog.
simple-design-principles	Rules for user-facing copy and UI components. Plain language, no jargon, consistent component usage.
give-me-five	Generate 5 meaningfully distinct UI/UX variants of the same screen in parallel — one subagent per variant — each reachable via `?style=1...5`. Iterate on a chosen style to refine within that direction.
self-documenting-apis	Ensure FastAPI endpoints have docstrings, typed response/request models, and proper status codes so auto-generated docs are the single source of truth.
update-docs	Sync a
