Productivity
Productivity agent skills automate everyday work: task management, email drafting, calendars, note-taking systems, and personal workflows. Each is a small SKILL.md file your AI agent applies automatically when your request matches what the skill does.

kunanonj Skill Cursor Plugin Pstack ArenaSpawn N parallel candidates at the same task, pick a base, graft the strongest parts of the losers into it. Use for /arena, 'arena this', 'throw it in the arena', or when one attempt at a non-trivial artifact would lock in the wrong shape.
-
kunanonj Skill Cursor Plugin Ponytail PonytailForces the laziest solution that actually works, simplest, shortest, most minimal. Channels a senior dev who has seen everything: question whether the task needs to exist at all (YAGNI), reach for the standard library before custom code, native platform features before dependencies, one line before fifty. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Use whenever the user says \"ponytail
-
kunanonj Skill Cursor Plugin Pstack Figure It OutDesign an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions via show-me-your-work. Use for /figure-it-out, 'figure it out', a large migration, or when no narrower playbook applies.

dingxingdi Bundle State Verified Task CompletionUse this skill when the user wants tasks that only count as solved if the underlying state really changed, not if the screen merely looks right for a moment. Trigger it for requests like “make sure it is actually saved,” “verify the result from the real app state,” “don’t trust a temporary popup,” or “judge success from the system record, not a screenshot alone.” This skill is for GUI tasks where durable completion must be grounded in application state, database state, filesystem state, or verified internal signals.
-
dingxingdi Bundle Temporal Gui Precision ControlUse this skill when the task requires actions to be timed perfectly, such as waiting for a hidden element to appear, holding a button for a specific duration, or clicking a target that is moving or changing. Trigger it for requests like "wait a few seconds before acting," "hold the button down," "be quick and tap it multiple times," "click it three times as it moves," or "patience is required to find the password."
-
dingxingdi Bundle Automated Test Suite SynthesisUse this skill when the user wants to generate high-quality, comprehensive test suites for a software problem or code snippet to ensure it is robust against edge cases and logical errors. It is triggered by natural language requests such as 'generate hard test cases', 'create an adversarial test suite for this algorithmic problem', 'find edge cases for my code', 'make sure my code handles extreme values', or 'build a verifier for this programming task'. It is specifically designed to proactively identify subtle logical flaws by analyzing problem constraints and comparing correct solutions against known error patterns.
-
dingxingdi Bundle Task Progress Decision MakingUse this skill when the user asks 'what do I do next?', 'what was the step before this?', 'is it safe to perform this?', 'did they follow the manual?', 'how do I fix this mistake?', or 'score the performance/skill level of this operation'. Trigger it for tasks evaluating sequential procedures, forecasting upcoming actions, verifying adherence to external operational rules (like safety protocols or Critical View of Safety), or proposing optimizations to a completed process. It is also suitable for 'Expert-level' assessment where a set of professional criteria or rubrics must be applied to a long video trajectory to judge technical proficiency.

-
dingxingdi Bundle Autonomous Multi Action Software Engineering OrchestrationUse this skill when the task requires orchestrating a complex, multi-stage engineering lifecycle to develop advanced features across diverse and esoteric scientific/engineering domains. Trigger it for requests like 'implement this Verilog hardware module', 'automate the MOOSE multiphysics modeling of a fuel assembly', 'convert these game rules into an executable Python world simulator', or 'build a formally verified Lean algorithm'. It universally covers objectives requiring translation of specific domain constraints into specialized logic, iterative compilation/simulation, and managing state across multiple files.
