sethdeckard Bundle Deviceterm Tab TitlesRead every visible DeviceTerm tab, summarize what each one is doing, and retitle it so the tab strip is scannable. Use when asked to name, label, retitle, or tidy up tabs, or to say what each tab is working on. Requires an automation tab, because reading and retitling another tab needs a live automation grant that only a person can issue from the GUI. Proposes every title for approval before renaming anything.

0sxd Skill Workstream CreatorUse this skill to spawn a new workstream MD file when the user introduces a research thread, a build target, or a project area that needs its own scoped scaffold. Trigger when the user says "new workstream", "spin up a separate effort for X", "I want to track X separately", "create a workstream for Y", or when the setup_intake skill detects that the current goal does not fit in any existing workstream. Generates a workstream MD that the user fills with their research bundle, then routes to the other skills.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to start a new project, create a new repo, initialise a codebase, set up a package, or bootstrap a forked repo. Triggers on phrases like "new project", "set up a repo", "initialise a project", "scaffold", "start a codebase", or "set up hooks on this repo". Always use this skill — do not scaffold projects from memory, as the toolchain and structure are precisely specified here.

447662 Skill Vcd Waveform DebugVCD waveform analysis for RTL debug. Use when the user has a .vcd file and wants to inspect, search, compare, or summarize digital simulation waveforms. Triggers include any mention of VCD files, waveform analysis, signal dump inspection, RTL debug, simulation results, value change dump, or specific VCD signal queries like "what is the value of X at time Y", "when does valid go high", "compare state at T1 vs T2", "find all AXI handshakes". Also triggers when the user uploads a .vcd file or references one by path. Do NOT use for FSDB, SHM, WLF, or other proprietary waveform formats — those require vendor tools to convert to VCD first.
-
447662 Skill Waveform DebugRTL waveform analysis CLI for debug, CI, and AI agents. Natively reads VCD, FST (preferred — ~10× smaller), and GHW. On linux-amd64, experimental support for WLF and FSDB via each vendor's own reader library. Use when the user has a waveform file (.vcd, .fst, .ghw, .wlf, .fsdb) and wants to inspect, search, compare, or summarize signals — triggers on any mention of waveform analysis, signal queries, RTL debug, simulation results, or VCD/FST/WLF/FSDB files.

8trafficai Bundle Reddit ScoutFind which subreddits are worth posting to for a topic — and, unlike every other prospecting tool, check whether posting is actually permitted there before you spend a post on it. Use whenever someone wants to find relevant subreddits, scout Reddit communities, research where to post or launch, find threads to reply to, do Reddit lead generation or ICP monitoring, or asks "where should I post this on Reddit". Also use before any Reddit promotion or launch, since it surfaces self-promotion bans, flair requirements, and karma or account-age gates that silently waste a post. Outputs a ranked, rules-checked target list with transparent scoring. Research only — it never posts; pair it with reddit-post for that.
-
8trafficai Bundle Reddit VoiceSample what a subreddit actually upvotes and write in that register, so a post doesn't read as machine-written. Use before drafting any Reddit post or comment, and whenever someone asks how to write for a specific subreddit, why their post got downvoted, how to sound less like AI, how to match a community's tone, or what format a subreddit expects. Also use when a post was rule-compliant and well-targeted but still flopped — that is usually a register problem, not a targeting one. Measures title shape, body formatting, comment length, distinctive vocabulary, and recurring phrases from live top posts, then hands the raw samples over for judgement. Research and drafting only; it never posts.
