micsapp
reseed
Re-derive your knowledge system from first principles when structural drift accumulates. Analyzes dimension incoherence, vocabulary mismatch, boundary dissolution, and template divergence. Preserves all content while restructuring architecture.

micsapp
tutorial
Interactive walkthrough for new users. Learn by doing — each step creates real content in your vault. Three tracks (researcher, manager, personal) with a universal learning arc. Triggers on "/tutorial", "walk me through", "how do I use this".

micsapp
do
Execute a phased implementation plan using subagents. Use when asked to execute, run, or carry out a plan — especially one created by make-plan.
3
micsapp
writing-hookify-rules
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hookify rule", "write a hook rule", "configure hookify", "add a hookify rule", or needs guidance on hookify rule syntax and patterns.
3
micsapp
graph
Interactive knowledge graph analysis. Routes natural language questions to graph scripts, interprets results in domain vocabulary, and suggests concrete actions. Triggers on "/graph", "/graph health", "/graph triangles", "find synthesis opportunities", "graph analysis".

micsapp
reduce
Extract structured knowledge from source material. Comprehensive extraction is the default — every insight that serves the domain gets extracted. For domain-relevant sources, skip rate must be below 10%. Zero extraction from a domain-relevant source is a BUG. Triggers on "/reduce", "/reduce [file]", "extract insights", "mine this", "process this".

micsapp
verify
Combined verification — recite (description quality via cold-read prediction) + validate (schema compliance) + review (health checks). Use as a quality gate after creating notes or as periodic maintenance. Triggers on "/verify", "/verify [note]", "verify note quality", "check note health".

micsapp
reflect
Find connections between notes and update MOCs. Requires semantic judgment to identify genuine relationships. Use after /reduce creates notes, when exploring connections, or when a topic needs synthesis. Triggers on "/reflect", "/reflect [note]", "find connections", "update MOCs", "connect these notes".
3 · bundle
micsapp
rethink
Challenge system assumptions against accumulated evidence. Triages observations and tensions, detects patterns, generates proposals. The scientific method applied to knowledge systems. Triggers on "/rethink", "review observations", "challenge assumptions", "what have I learned".
3 · bundle
micsapp
reweave
Update old notes with new connections. The backward pass that /reflect doesn't do. Revisit existing notes that predate newer related content, add connections, sharpen claims, consider splits. Triggers on "/reweave", "/reweave [note]", "update old notes", "backward connections", "revisit notes".

micsapp
validate
Schema validation for notes. Checks against domain-specific templates. Validates required fields, enum values, description quality, and link health. Non-blocking — warns but doesn't prevent capture. Triggers on "/validate", "/validate [note]", "check schema", "validate note", "validate all".

micsapp
mem-search
Search claude-mem's persistent cross-session memory database. Use when user asks "did we already solve this?", "how did we do X last time?", or needs work from previous sessions.
3
micsapp
example-skill
This skill should be used when the user asks to "demonstrate skills", "show skill format", "create a skill template", or discusses skill development patterns. Provides a reference template for creating Claude Code plugin skills.

micsapp
autonomous-skill
Use when work must continue across multiple Codex sessions with `.autonomous/` tracking, resumable execution, or autonomous handoff. Use for long-running, multi-session, or resume-later tasks.

micsapp
example-command
An example user-invoked skill that demonstrates frontmatter options and the skills/<name>/SKILL.md layout

micsapp
command-development
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
