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.
-
athola Skill Architecture Paradigms 2Selects and routes to the right architecture paradigm. Use when choosing patterns for a new system or comparing trade-offs before making architecture decisions.
-
athola Bundle Testing Quality Standards 2Defines testing quality metrics, coverage thresholds, and anti-patterns. Use when establishing test gates or validating a test suite's coverage targets.
-
athola Bundle Browser Recording 2Records browser sessions via Playwright and converts video to GIF. Use when creating web UI tutorials or demos showing browser interactions.
-
athola Skill Media Composition 2Combines GIFs and videos into composite tutorials with vertical or grid layouts via ffmpeg. Use when assembling multi-part media into a single output.
-
athola Skill Night Market Operations 2Run and ship this repo: make targets, artifacts, release runbook. Use when testing, linting, or releasing. Do not use for setup; use night-market-build-and-env.
-
athola Skill Project Planning 2Converts a specification into a phased, dependency-ordered implementation plan. Use after specification is complete and before execution begins.
-
athola Bundle Delegation Core 2Delegates execution to eight CLIs (Gemini, Qwen, MiniMax, GLM, Muse, Codex, OpenCode, Glimmer). Use for execution tasks. Do not use for secrets.
-
athola Bundle Qwen Delegation 2Delegates tasks to Qwen CLI via delegation-core for Alibaba's models. Use when delegation-core selects Qwen or large-context batch processing is needed.
-
athola Bundle Bloat Detector 2Detects codebase bloat via dead code, duplication, complexity, and doc bloat scans. Use when codebase feels large or before a release.
-
athola Bundle Diff Analysis 2Analyzes changesets with risk scoring, categorization by type and impact, and release note preparation. Use when extracting insights from raw change data.
-
athola Bundle Proof Of Work 2Enforces validation and evidence before claiming work complete. Use before declaring implementation done, creating a PR, or submitting deliverables for review.
-
athola Bundle Stewardship 2Applies stewardship virtues (Care, Curiosity, Humility, Diligence) to plugin work. Use when authoring plugins or reviewing code quality.
-
athola Bundle Math Review 2Verifies math-heavy code for algorithmic correctness and numerical stability. Use when reviewing scientific algorithms, ML models, or numerical code.
-
athola Bundle Rust Review 2Audits Rust code for unsafe blocks, ownership issues, and Cargo dependency risks. Use when reviewing Rust code or before merging Rust changes.
-
athola Bundle Test Review 2Evaluates test suites for coverage gaps, TDD/BDD compliance, and anti-patterns. Use when auditing test quality or before a major release.
-
athola Skill Validate Pr 2Generates and self-executes a diff-derived test plan for a PR. Use when validating PR changes before merge. Do not use for code review; use sanctum:pr-review.
-
athola Skill Night Market Architecture Contract 2States load-bearing decisions, invariants, and weak points. Use when judging a design change. Do not use for gating; use night-market-change-control.
-
athola Bundle Session Palace Builder 2Builds session-scoped temporary memory palaces for extended conversations. Use when tracking state across interruptions in a multi-step project.
-
athola Bundle Memory Palace Architect 2Designs memory palace structures with spatial layouts and domain organization. Use when creating a new palace or planning knowledge architecture by hand.
-
athola Skill Architecture Paradigm Layered 2Applies layered n-tier architecture with enforced boundaries. Use when designing moderate systems needing clear presentation, domain, and persistence layers.
-
athola Skill Architecture Paradigm Hexagonal 2Applies hexagonal architecture isolating domain from infrastructure. Use when designing systems where testability and port/adapter separation are priorities.
-
athola Skill Architecture Paradigm Microkernel 2Applies microkernel architecture with minimal core and plugin extensibility. Use when building platforms where third parties extend core functionality.
-
athola Skill Architecture Paradigm Space Based 2Applies data-grid architecture for high-traffic stateful workloads. Use when a single database cannot scale and in-memory partitioning is needed.
-
athola Skill Structured Output 2Formats review deliverables with consistent structure for comparable findings. Use when finalizing any review or analysis that must be shared or compared.
-
athola Bundle Code Refinement 2Improves code quality across duplication, efficiency, and architectural fit. Use when code passes tests but quality is poor or before a major release.
-
athola Bundle Makefile Review 2Audits Makefiles for build correctness, portability, and recipe duplication. Use when reviewing a Makefile or before committing Makefile changes.
-
athola Skill Version Updates 2Bumps versions, updates changelogs, and coordinates version changes across files for releases. Use when preparing a release or bumping the project version.
-
athola Bundle Shared Patterns 2Provide reusable patterns for validation, error handling, scaffolding. Use for skill consistency.
-
athola Bundle Project Execution 2Executes implementation plans with progress tracking, checkpoint validation, and quality gates. Use after planning is complete and tasks are ready to implement.
-
athola Skill Decisive Action 2Guides when to ask clarifying questions versus proceed autonomously. Use to reduce unnecessary clarifying questions when intent is clear.
-
athola Skill Gauntlet Curate 2Audits the DSA problem bank for coverage gaps and proposes new YAML entries. Use when refreshing the problem bank during update-plugins runs.
-
athola Bundle Rigorous Reasoning 2Applies anti-sycophancy checklist to override agreement bias. Use when analyzing contested claims or avoiding socially convenient but inaccurate conclusions.
-
athola Skill Decision Journal 2Contract for the project decision journal (tradeoffs and lessons-learned logs). Use when recording a decision, tradeoff, or lesson, or building a consumer hook.
-
athola Skill Deferred Capture 2Defines the contract for deferred-item capture across plugins. Use when building or validating a plugin's deferred-capture wrapper or adding source labels.
-
athola Skill Voice Review 2Runs parallel prose and craft review agents against a voice profile. Use when checking generated content for AI patterns and voice drift before publishing.
-
athola Skill Gif Generation 2Converts webm/mp4 video files to optimized GIFs via ffmpeg with configurable quality settings. Use when post-processing recordings into shareable GIFs.
