allemaar Bundle Github SyncReview the session's git changes, summarize them for approval, then commit and push to GitHub. Trigger when the user runs /github-sync or says "sync to github", "commit and push", "push this session", "wrap up and push", "save this session to git". For commit-only (no push) or partial staging, do not use this skill.

borda Bundle AnalyseAnalyze GitHub issues, Pull Requests (PRs), Discussions, and repo vitality for an Open Source Software (OSS) project. For any specific item, casts a wide net — finds and lists all related open and closed issues/PRs/discussions, explicitly flags duplicates. Summarizes long threads, extracts reproduction steps, and generates repo vitality stats. Uses gh Command Line Interface (CLI) for GitHub Application Programming Interface (API) access. Complements oss:shepherd (requires `oss` plugin). NOT for PR readiness assessment or code review (use oss:review). TRIGGER when: user provides GitHub issue number (#N), PR number, or github.com URL with issue/PR/discussion path AND asks to analyze, summarize, understand, or triage it; user asks for repo vitality stats or "is this repo healthy". SKIP: user already pasted full thread text inline; oss:resolve already active on same PR; user wants code review (use oss:review); user phrasing is "review PR" meaning code quality assessment, not thread triage (route to oss:review).

-
borda Bundle TopicResearch State of the Art (SOTA) literature for an Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) topic, method, or architecture.

Owns broad SOTA search end-to-end via foundry:web-explorer; delegates codebase mapping to foundry:solution-architect.

ci Skill Ce Slack ResearchSearch Slack for interpreted organizational context -- decisions, constraints, and discussion arcs that shape the current task. Produces a research digest with cross-cutting analysis and research-value assessment, not raw message lists. Use when searching Slack for context during planning, brainstorming, or any task where organizational knowledge matters. Trigger phrases: 'search slack for', 'what did we discuss about', 'slack context for', 'organizational context about', 'what does the team think about', 'any slack discussions on'. Differs from slack:find-discussions which returns individual message results without synthesis.
