Coding & Dev Tools
Coding agent skills teach AI agents repeatable engineering workflows: reviewing pull requests, writing tests, refactoring safely, and enforcing house style. Install one SKILL.md and your agent applies the same checklist every time, whether you use Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or another agent.

yogsoth-ai Skill Prisma Screening 3Multi-stage PRISMA screening tactic — progressively filter papers from a large candidate pool to a focused set for deep reading. Four stages (identification, title/abstract screening, full-text screening, inclusion) with documented counts at each stage.
-
yogsoth-ai Bundle Survey Synthesis 3Final synthesis step — weave all gathered evidence (reading notes, extracted data, categorizations) into a coherent structured output appropriate to the strategy type. Used by all 5 strategies as the final step.
-
yogsoth-ai Bundle Taxonomy Mapping 3Construct a hierarchical field map from paper collection — multi-level taxonomy with parent/child relationships, paper counts per node, and maturity indicators. Used by scoping-survey.
-
yogsoth-ai Bundle Categorize Papers 3Cluster papers by theme, method, or timeline. Produces natural groupings from a paper collection. Used by scoping-survey and narrative-review.
-
yogsoth-ai Skill Narrative Framing 3Theory-driven reading tactic — define a theoretical framework first, then guide reading to fill it with evidence. Five stages (theme identification, argument construction, evidence collection, counter-evidence, synthesis). The most intellectually demanding tactic.
-
yogsoth-ai Bundle Quality Assessment 3Methodological rigor scoring for papers — evaluates bias risk, reproducibility, sample adequacy using established frameworks. Used by systematic-survey.
-
yogsoth-ai Bundle Saturation Detection 3Determine when additional searching yields diminishing returns. Analyzes the latest expansion batch against existing corpus to judge continue/near-saturation/saturated. Used by snowball and systematic-survey.
-
yogsoth-ai Bundle Define Search Protocol 3Formalize search queries and inclusion/exclusion criteria for systematic surveys. Produces a reproducible search protocol document. Used by systematic-survey.

irahardianto Bundle Perf Optimization 4Execute profile-driven performance optimization using a structured methodology. Use when profiling data (CPU, heap, trace, flamegraph) is available, when the user requests performance analysis, or when a benchmark regression is detected. Covers prioritization, pattern catalog, safety invariants, and when-to-stop heuristics. Language-specific tooling in languages/*.md.

71 -
bobmatnyc Bundle Root Cause Tracing 3Systematically trace bugs backward through call stack to find original trigger
71 -
bobmatnyc Bundle Testing Anti Patterns 3Never test mock behavior. Never add test-only methods to production classes. Understand dependencies before mocking. Language-agnostic principles with TypeScript/Jest and Python pytest-style examples.

irahardianto Skill Database Design Principles 3Apply database design patterns when creating schemas, writing migrations, designing queries, managing indexes, or working with transaction boundaries. Covers normalization, query optimization, connection pooling, and migration safety.
-
irahardianto Skill Command Execution Principles 3Apply safe command execution patterns when spawning external processes, shell commands, or system calls from application code. Covers input sanitization, timeout handling, output capture, and error propagation.
-
irahardianto Skill Data Serialization Principles 3Apply data serialization best practices when encoding, decoding, or validating structured data formats (JSON, YAML, XML, Protocol Buffers, MessagePack). Covers schema validation, versioning, backward compatibility, and safe deserialization.
-
irahardianto Skill Resources And Memory Management 3Apply resource lifecycle management patterns when working with files, database connections, network sockets, locks, or any resource requiring explicit cleanup. Covers RAII, defer/finally, connection pooling, graceful shutdown, and leak prevention.
-
irahardianto Skill Dependency Management Principles 3Apply dependency management best practices when adding, updating, or auditing project dependencies in go.mod, package.json, Cargo.toml, pubspec.yaml, or requirements.txt. Covers version pinning, vulnerability scanning, and dependency hygiene.
-
irahardianto Skill Monitoring And Alerting Principles 3Apply health check and metrics patterns when implementing readiness/liveness probes, instrumenting RED/USE metrics, integrating error tracking, or adding production observability code. Covers Prometheus metrics, health endpoints, and alert threshold design.
-
irahardianto Skill Configuration Management Principles 3Apply configuration management patterns when working with environment variables, config files, settings structs, secrets injection, or feature toggles. Covers validation, layering, fail-fast on missing config, and twelve-factor app principles.
