README

nock-skills

Claude Code skills from [Nock Technologies](https://nocktechnologies.com), extracted from running a 14-agent autonomous fleet at production scale.

Each skill is a folder with a `SKILL.md` file that Claude Code can load as a slash command or via the Skill tool.

Skills

Guards

Quality and authorization gates to run on an agent's work before you trust it.

Skill	What it does
scope-guard	Checks a diff against what the agent was actually asked to do. Flags out of scope edits, surprise refactors, and config changes nobody authorized.
dependency-guard	Catches unauthorized new packages, loosened version pins, install scripts, and supply chain red flags before they land.
audit-guard	Reconstructs what an agent actually did from evidence (audit logs, git history, shell records) and compares it against what was authorized.

The guards pair naturally with [NockGuard](https://github.com/nocktechnologies/nockguard), our open source MCP firewall for agent fleets, but each one works standalone.

Engineering

Skill	What it does
engineering-pipeline	A 7-phase PR pipeline: plan, build, verify, gate, push, review, merge and docs
session-handoffs	Structured context transfer between sessions
branch-isolation	Branch discipline for parallel agents

Fleet Operations

Skill	What it does
fleet-heartbeat	Multi-channel polling: check inboxes, dispatch work, snapshot state
agent-dispatch	Dispatch work to parallel agents: modes, message format, ACK protocol, kill-switch gates
overnight-operations	Patterns for agents running unattended: dispatch rules, merge authority, notification thresholds
