magnus919 Bundle RaleighQuery, search, and download public datasets and civic information for the City of Raleigh. Use for live ArcGIS Hub catalog discovery, ArcGIS FeatureServer and MapServer queries, ImageServer imagery exports, official Raleigh geocoding, GoRaleigh transit feeds, guest-public development records, public RaleighNC.gov content, eSCRIBE public meetings, Raleigh fire reports and inspections, and the Raleigh-Wake ECC active incident feed. Do not use for private data, authenticated operations, payments, submissions, bulk crawling, or non-public portals.
-
gitwalter Skill Mapping DependenciesMaps all upstream, downstream, data, and AI dependencies needed to implement the requirements. Produces a dependency graph with integration contracts and a risk register. Use when the user wants to understand what systems need to be connected, asks "what do we depend on", "what integrations are needed", "what could block us", or is preparing for architecture. Requires knowledge/prd.md or knowledge/prototype-brief.md. Writes to knowledge/dependencies.md.
-
gitwalter Skill Reviewing RequirementsConducts a multi-perspective adversarial review of knowledge/prd.md using a structured debate pattern. Activates three reviewer personas — Product Critic, AI Systems Engineer, and Security Auditor — to surface gaps, contradictions, missing edge cases, and AI-specific failure modes. Use when the user wants to validate requirements, check the PRD, find gaps, stress-test the spec, or says "review the requirements", "what are we missing", "is this complete", or "let's pressure-test this". Requires knowledge/prd.md. Writes findings to knowledge/review-findings.md.
-
gitwalter Skill Experimental InteractionSkill for coordinating experimental interactions including agent-to-agent handoffs and voice-to-PRD workflows.
-
gitwalter Skill Automated Code GenerationUses the Factory project generation engine to create core file structures and basic implementation logic from parsed PRD requirements. Orchestrates the ProjectGenerator and uses builder agents for initial implementation.
-
gitwalter Bundle Building Spring MicroservicesSpring Cloud microservices patterns with gateway, discovery, and resilience
-
magnus919 Bundle NeckbeardUse when asked to fix, build, refactor, review, verify, or release software and the work is non-trivial — including delivering a change request through planning, gates, implementation, review, verified PR, and authorized release; continuing work started elsewhere with no packet via evidence-based position assessment; or operating tracked work items in Linear, Jira, or Notion via their tooling skills. neckbeard routes the change through framing, discovery, design, implementation, review, verification, and learning — choosing the smallest *safe* intervention, proving it at the real delivery boundary, and leaving an inspectable evidence ledger. For issue-to-PR work, conditionally loads a 9-phase journey with gates and lifecycle integration. Composes specialist catalog skills rather than replacing them. Not a persona or LOC-minimizer. Do not use this skill for unrelated requests; route to the nearest named specialist.
-
lonsdale201 Bundle Wpml ConfigMake a WordPress plugin/theme translatable with WPML by shipping a wpml-config.xml file. Covers the sections WPML honors — custom-fields/custom-field action="translate|copy|copy-once|ignore" (post meta), custom-term-fields (term meta), custom-fields-texts (translatable sub-keys inside serialized/JSON meta), custom-types /custom-type translate="0|1" with display-as-translated and automatic attributes, taxonomies/taxonomy translate="0|1", admin-texts /key name for options, shortcode-list (CSV) vs shortcodes (rich), built-with-page-builder, and gutenberg-blocks. Explains file discovery (plugin root, theme root, the wpml_config_array filter), the exact 0/1 boolean and action-enum values, that a typo'd action silently means "ignore", that the XSD is NOT enforced during normal parsing, and that admin-texts needs the String Translation add-on while gutenberg-blocks is handled by WPML's bundled page-builders add-on. Use when adding, auditing, or debugging a wpml-config.xml.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Architect Role AssessorEvaluate whether a software architect is fulfilling the 8 core expectations of the role and assess their technical breadth vs depth balance using the knowledge pyramid. Use this skill whenever the user asks what a software architect should be doing, questions whether they are performing the architect role correctly, wants to assess their own or someone else's architect performance, describes symptoms of role dysfunction (spending too much time coding, not attending stakeholder meetings, only recommending technologies they know, avoiding decisions), asks about transitioning from developer to architect, or encounters the Frozen Caveman anti-pattern where past experiences irrationally drive current decisions — even if they don't explicitly say "architect role" or "expectations."
-
magnus919 Bundle Life CoachGuide a bounded, user-led coaching process for personal goals, decisions, transitions, habits, recurring nonclinical patterns, accountability, and progress review. Use when a person explicitly asks to be coached, wants reflective challenge, or wants help examining ambivalence while retaining ownership. Do not use for therapy, crisis support, diagnosis, direct factual or action requests, product or stakeholder discovery, or medical, legal, financial, addiction, domestic-violence, or other specialist advice.
-
magnus919 Bundle Genius LifeGuide a person in cultivating creativity in their own work and life: open conversational sessions on creative blocks, habits, environment, motivation, and resilience, or structured development of a concrete project or fledgling idea through a five-phase practice. Do not use for therapy or clinical support, general life coaching, product or stakeholder discovery, or as a study guide for a book.
-
magnus919 Bundle Agent SkillsUse this skill when creating, reviewing, or editing Agent Skills-format skills, or when implementing skill discovery and loading in an agent client. It covers directory structure, SKILL.md metadata, progressive disclosure, evals, and repository conventions. Do not use this skill for general software work that does not involve the Agent Skills format or lifecycle.
-
bookforge-ai Skill Secure Deployment PipelineSecure a software deployment pipeline against supply chain attacks from benign insiders (mistakes), malicious insiders, and external attackers: map pipeline threats to mitigations using the three-adversary threat model, generate binary provenance requirements for each build stage, define provenance-based deployment policies with choke-point enforcement, design verifiable build architecture (trusted build service, rebuild service, or hybrid), and produce a staged hardening roadmap with breakglass controls. Use when assessing supply chain security for a CI/CD pipeline, implementing binary provenance to trace artifact origins, designing deployment policies that verify what is deployed rather than who initiated deployment, hardening build infrastructure against insider threats, or establishing breakglass procedures that remain auditable. Requires secure-code-review as a prerequisite control (code review is the first mitigation layer against malicious or accidental code changes before they enter the pipeline). Pro
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Risk Storming FacilitatorPlan and facilitate collaborative risk storming sessions for architecture teams. Use this skill whenever the user wants to run a risk identification workshop, organize a risk storming exercise, plan a collaborative risk assessment session, facilitate architecture risk discovery with a team, prepare a risk workshop agenda, coordinate group risk identification, or run a team-based architecture risk review. Also triggers when the user mentions "risk storming," "collaborative risk session," "team risk workshop," "group risk identification," wants to prepare pre-work materials for a risk meeting, or asks "how should I run a risk session with my team?" — even if they don't use the exact term "risk storming."
-
bookforge-ai Skill Customer Discovery ProgramDesign a customer discovery program to achieve product-market fit for a significant new product or market expansion. Use when launching a new product, entering a new market segment, redesigning a product for a different customer segment, or when someone asks 'how do we find product-market fit?', 'how do we get reference customers?', or 'are we stuck in a sales-driven fragmentation spiral?' Also use when the team is unsure if they have achieved product-market fit, when scaling sales feels premature, or when checking whether the Sean Ellis test applies. Produces a complete program plan: single target market definition, recruitment criteria for 6 reference customers, co-development relationship structure, and product-market fit definition by product type (B2B, platform/API, consumer, internal). Not for small features or minor improvements — use value-testing-technique-selection for those.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Product Culture AssessmentAssess the product culture of a company or team across innovation capacity and execution strength. Use when a leader, founder, or product manager wants to understand where the organization sits on the innovation-execution spectrum and which cultural gaps to address. Also use when someone asks 'do we have a strong innovation culture?', 'why does our team ship fast but feel uncreative?', 'how do we build a culture like Amazon or Netflix?', 'are we a feature factory?', or 'I need to assess our product culture before proposing changes.' Scores 14 culture attributes (7 innovation + 7 execution), places the organization in one of four quadrants (Dreamers, Factories, Elite, Stalled), and produces a prioritized 90-day improvement roadmap. For diagnosing specific team-level dysfunctions (velocity, design integration, behaviors), use product-team-health-diagnostic instead. For waterfall process issues, use product-process-dysfunction-diagnosis instead.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Product Okr ImplementationDesign and implement an OKR (Objectives and Key Results) system for product teams. Use when transitioning away from feature roadmaps to outcome-based planning, setting up OKRs for a product organization, replacing quarterly roadmaps with business objectives, aligning multiple teams to shared goals, or when someone asks 'how do we set up OKRs?' Also use when diagnosing OKR cascade failures, structuring high-integrity commitments to stakeholders, establishing OKR scoring standards, running quarterly OKR planning cycles, or scaling OKRs to 25+ teams. Covers the 12 OKR rules, scoring rubric, functional cascade anti-patterns, and a 6–12 month roadmap-to-outcomes transition plan. Not for diagnosing team health or culture — use product-team-health-diagnostic or product-culture-assessment instead.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Architecture Risk AssessorQuantify architecture risk using a 2D risk matrix (impact x likelihood, scored 1-9) and produce structured risk assessment reports. Use this skill whenever the user asks about architecture risks, wants to evaluate risk across services or components, needs a risk matrix, mentions risk assessment, risk analysis, risk heat map, risk scoring, or asks "what are the risks?" for any architecture — even if they don't explicitly say "risk assessment." Also triggers when the user mentions unproven technology risk, scalability risk, availability concerns, security risk, data integrity risk, or wants to prioritize risks for stakeholder meetings.
-
lonsdale201 Bundle Wc REST API V4Audit WooCommerce's source-gated `wc/v4` REST API. In WooCommerce 11.0.0 the core v4 controllers exist but the release build still sets `rest-api-v4` false, so core routes are not registered by default. Covers runtime discovery, safe v3 fallback, latent routes including refund preview, settings paths, hook prefixes, authentication, fulfillments, and internal caching. Use when code targets `/wc/v4` or assumes source files mean a live public API.
-
lonsdale201 Bundle Wp Abilities APIRegister WordPress Abilities: machine-readable plugin operations with JSON Schema contracts, required permission callbacks, optional REST exposure, client-side abilities, and AI/MCP-friendly discovery. Covers categories, wp_register_ability, WP_Ability::execute, REST run endpoints, @wordpress/abilities, @wordpress/core-abilities, meta.public/show_in_rest, filtered discovery, execution lifecycle hooks, client-safe schemas, annotations, and Ability vs REST route vs custom hook decisions. Use when exposing plugin functionality to agents, admin JS, external tools, WP AI Client workflows, or reviewing AI integration code.

-
writer Bundle Advisor Prep BriefsGenerate comprehensive meeting preparation briefs for financial advisors before client reviews. Use when preparing for quarterly reviews, annual planning meetings, prospect discovery meetings, client onboarding sessions, or any client-facing interaction requiring advisor preparation with portfolio, market, and personal context.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Discovery Prototype SelectionSelect the right prototype type and fidelity level for any discovery risk. Use when deciding what kind of prototype to build, when choosing between a feasibility spike, user prototype, live-data prototype, or Wizard of Oz prototype, or when someone asks 'what prototype should we build?' Also use when prototyping for usability testing, when validating a technical approach before building, when building a simulation for stakeholder alignment, or when an AI/ML feature needs pre-model validation. Maps the active risk (feasibility/usability/value/viability) to one of four prototype types and determines fidelity. Includes anti-pattern warnings for ambush estimation and prototype-as-value-proof confusion. Best triggered after product-discovery-risk-assessment. For executing usability or value tests after the prototype, use value-testing-technique-selection.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Stakeholder Negotiation PlannerPrepare architecture negotiation strategies for conversations with business stakeholders, other architects, and developers using proven techniques. Use this skill whenever the user needs to push back on unrealistic requirements, defend an architecture decision to management, convince a skeptical developer or senior engineer, navigate disagreements about technology choices, negotiate trade-offs between features and technical debt, deal with stakeholders who demand conflicting quality attributes, handle situations where someone with more authority or experience disagrees with their technical recommendation, or any situation requiring persuasion around architecture decisions — even if they don't explicitly say "negotiation."
-
bookforge-ai Skill Product Discovery Risk AssessmentAssess product risks and decide whether to build. Use when starting product discovery, evaluating a new feature or product idea, deciding which risks to validate first, choosing between prototyping and testing approaches, or when someone asks 'should we build this?' Maps any idea to the 4-risk taxonomy (value risk, usability risk, feasibility risk, business viability risk) plus ethics risk, sequences discovery by priority, and selects the right technique category for each risk. Also use when a team is unsure what to validate next, when structuring a discovery sprint, or when planning pre-build validation activities. Hub skill for all downstream discovery technique selection — for specific techniques, use discovery-framing-technique-selection, discovery-prototype-selection, value-testing-technique-selection, customer-discovery-program, or business-viability-stakeholder-testing instead.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Value Testing Technique SelectionSelect and execute the right value testing technique for product discovery. Use when you have a prototype and need to know if customers will actually choose or buy the product, when deciding between a fake door test, usability test, A/B test, or invite-only program, when someone asks 'how do we test if users want this?' or 'should we run an A/B test?', or when setting up analytics instrumentation before launch. Also use when validating demand before building anything, when choosing between qualitative vs. quantitative value testing, or when the team is unsure whether 'people said they liked it' is enough evidence. Covers the 3-level value testing hierarchy (demand / qualitative / quantitative), the usability-then-value session protocol, and the analytics instrumentation checklist. For prototype selection, use discovery-prototype-selection. For finding product-market fit with reference customers, use customer-discovery-program. For stakeholder viability sign-off, use business-viability-stakeholder-testing.
-
bookforge-ai Skill Product Vision Strategy AssessmentAssess or create a product vision and product strategy. Use when someone asks 'is our product vision strong enough?', 'does our strategy make sense?', 'we keep pivoting — is that a vision problem or a strategy problem?', or 'how do I write a compelling product vision?' Also use when diagnosing why teams lack direction or feel like mercenaries, stress-testing a strategy for focus and market sequencing, checking whether product principles are resolving design debates, or auditing an existing vision statement for ambition and inspiration gaps. Scores vision against 10 principles and strategy against 5 principles, identifies top gaps with specific rewrite guidance, and evaluates whether product principles exist and are functioning as guardrails. Works on vision documents, strategy decks, product plans, or verbal descriptions. Not for OKR setting — use product-okr-implementation. Not for team health or process issues — use product-team-health-diagnostic or product-process-dysfunction-diagnosis.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Discovery Framing Technique SelectionSelect and execute the right discovery framing technique before building. Use when value risk is High and the underlying problem is not yet clearly defined, when a team is about to start discovery without a shared problem statement, when someone asks 'how should we frame this discovery effort?', or when starting any non-trivial feature, redesign, or new product effort. Also use for: writing an opportunity assessment, writing a customer letter (press release alternative), completing a startup canvas for a new business, or constructing a story map to scope discovery. Determines effort size (typical/large/new-product), selects the matching technique, and produces the framing document. Best triggered after product-discovery-risk-assessment. For specific testing techniques, use value-testing-technique-selection. For prototype selection, use discovery-prototype-selection.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Product Manager Competency AssessmentEvaluate product manager competency for hiring, coaching, or self-assessment. Use when interviewing a VP of Product or head of product candidate, assessing an existing product leader, evaluating an individual contributor PM, conducting a PM self-assessment to find development gaps, or debriefing an interview panel. Also use when someone asks 'is this PM candidate strong?', 'am I a good product manager?', 'what does a strong VP of Product look like?', or 'how do I evaluate PM interview performance?' Covers VP assessment (team development, vision and strategy, execution, culture) and IC PM assessment (customer, data, business, market knowledge plus smart/creative/persistent traits). Diagnoses which of 3 PM working modes the person operates in: backlog administrator, roadmap administrator, or empowered PM. Not for team or organizational assessment — use product-team-health-diagnostic or product-culture-assessment for those.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Product Process Dysfunction DiagnosisDiagnose why product efforts fail despite using Scrum, Agile, or roadmaps. Use when a team ships on time but customers don't adopt features, when leadership asks why there's no innovation despite an Agile process, when a new product leader needs to identify root causes quickly, or when someone asks 'are we doing waterfall disguised as Agile?' Also use when someone says 'we follow the process but nothing lands', 'sales keeps driving our roadmap', 'design is always scrambling to catch up', 'our engineers just build what they're told', or 'customers never adopt what we build.' Scores 10 root causes of product failure across startup, growth, and enterprise stages and produces a prioritized dysfunction report. For culture-wide assessment (innovation vs. execution), use product-culture-assessment. For team-level behaviors and velocity, use product-team-health-diagnostic.
-
bookforge-ai Bundle Business Viability Stakeholder TestingTest whether a product solution is viable for the business before building. Use when business viability risk is Medium or High, when multiple internal functions (legal, sales, finance, marketing) may have constraints on a proposed solution, when someone asks 'will this work for our business?', 'do we have stakeholder buy-in?', or 'does legal/finance/sales need to review this?' Also use when a proposed solution would change pricing, go-to-market motion, or support model, or when you need documented cross-functional sign-off before committing engineering resources. Identifies all stakeholders who can veto launch across 8 domains, conducts 1:1 preview sessions with high-fidelity prototypes, and resolves disagreements with evidence rather than opinions. Produces a structured viability sign-off document. Not for customer value testing — use value-testing-technique-selection. Not for product-market fit — use customer-discovery-program.
-
magnus919 Bundle Product ShapingUse this skill to shape product or engineering work before committing time to it: set appetites instead of estimates, narrow raw ideas into bounded problems, sketch solutions at the right level of abstraction, de-risk rabbit holes, write pitches, bet with capped downside (circuit breaker), and govern builds with discovered scopes and scope hammering. Adapted from Basecamp's Shape Up and extended for human+AI-agent teams. Use when a raw idea, feature request, or "redesign X" grab-bag needs to become a bounded project before anyone builds; when planning how much work an idea is worth; or when delegated agent builds need budgets, kill criteria, and non-convergence rules. Do not use for discovering whether a problem is real (use product-discovery), for portfolio-level sequencing across quarters (product-roadmapping-and-portfolio), for formal specification after the bet is placed (spec-driven-development), or for task-level prioritization frameworks like RICE (product-methodology).
-
magnus919 Bundle Product AdoptionDiagnose and design product adoption for onboarding, activation, behavior change, feature discovery, rollout, and sustained use after launch. Covers consumer, B2B, internal-tool, and public-service contexts with evidence-based decision points and cohort segmentation. Does not own acquisition campaigns or marketing conversion (routes to go-to-market), product-analytics instrumentation (routes to product-analytics-and-measurement), or customer-success account management and health scoring (routes to conditional-customer-success). Do not use this skill for unrelated requests; route to the nearest named specialist.
-
magnus919 Bundle Product StrategySet product vision, positioning, market strategy, and portfolio direction with a CPO methodology. Route tactical prioritization, specifications, and backlog decisions to `product-methodology`; do not use this skill for delivery-level product decisions or unrelated requests.
-
magnus919 Bundle Product DiscoveryDiscover product requirements from human stakeholders — map who to talk to, ask questions that surface hidden assumptions, detect gaps in real time, resolve conflicts, and translate conversations into structured SDD specs. Phase 0 upstream of Spec-Driven Development. Do not use this skill for unrelated requests; route to the nearest named specialist.
