yog-sotho Skill WarmstartRefresh project intelligence and re-orient on the current codebase. Use this skill whenever the user says things like "catch me up", "what was I working on?", "re-orient yourself", "summarize the project state", "what's in this repo?", "what changed?", "project status", "context refresh", "/warm", or after they mention switching branches, pulling changes, cloning a repo, or starting a new session on an existing project. Trigger even when the request is implicit — if the user dives straight into a task without context and the project state is unknown, run this proactively.
-
yog-sotho Skill Search FirstEnforce a research-before-coding workflow — search for existing tools, libraries, and patterns before writing custom code. Use this skill whenever the user asks to add functionality, integrate a new capability, create a utility or helper, or add a dependency. Trigger on phrases like "add X functionality", "integrate X", "I need a library for", "write a helper to", "implement X from scratch", or any time you're about to write non-trivial code that might already exist as a package or tool. When in doubt, search first — reinventing a solved problem is never the right call.

Also activate when turning notes, transcripts, or bullet-point research into polished prose, and when the user asks to "write", "draft", "rewrite", or "clean up" any piece of long-form content, even if they don't call it an article.
