When qkb is opted out (QKB_DISABLED=1) or not on PATH, runs as pure curated read with honest gap reporting. Supports quick, standard, deep modes; files answers back as wiki pages so knowledge compounds.

takazudo Skill XFacade for development workflows. Routes on two axes: plan-first vs implement-now (escalates to /big-plan -a when the request needs research / decomposition / has unclear scope — the appended -a makes the plan chain into implementation in-session), then single vs multi on the ready-to-build fast paths (/x-as-pr single-topic, /x-wt-teams multi-topic parallel). Use when: (1) User says '/x' followed by dev instructions, (2) User wants to start development without choosing the workflow skill, (3) User says 'dev', 'implement', or 'build' with a task. Default option: -v (verify-ui). The downstream skill runs /code-review by default; -co/--codex upgrades it to /deep-review. Forwards -a (autonomy/auto-chain) and -m (merge at the end + cleanup + CI watch) through every route; auto-fix of raised findings (-f) and issue-raising (-ri) are downstream defaults, with -nf/--no-fix and -nori/--no-raise-issues as the forwarded opt-outs. -a and -m are orthogonal — full hands-off end-to-end is -a -m. Pass -lo/--local to keep the
