Debug issues methodically — use when stuck on errors, test failures, or unexpected behavior

Multi-AI validation, scoring, and review using available external providers (Double Diamond Deliver phase)

Multi-AI implementation using available external providers (Double Diamond Develop phase)

Structured multi-provider AI debates between Claude and available advisors — use for critical decisions

Environment diagnostics — check providers, auth, config, hooks, scheduler, and more

Track project blockers, bugs, and gaps across sessions — use when issues pile up or need triage

Pick up where you left off from a previous session — use after context resets, compaction, or new conversations

Show where you are in the workflow and what to do next — use for progress checks and orientation

Evidence before claims — run verification commands before declaring work complete, fixed, or passing

Multi-AI research using available external providers (Double Diamond Discover phase)

Decompose and execute large changes, migrations, or multi-issue fixes in parallel with quality gates

Quick execution for ad-hoc tasks without full workflow overhead — use for small, self-contained requests

Run a configurable multi-LLM council with personas, budget caps, synthesis, veto gates, and optional implementation handoff.

Reverse-engineer design systems, tokens, and components from live products or screenshots

Run a full build-and-ship pipeline from a spec — use for hands-off project generation

Configure Claude Octopus — redirects to /octo:setup interactive wizard

Post-ship doc sync across project markdown. Use when: sync docs, update docs, document changes, release notes.

Roll back to a previous checkpoint via git — use when a change went wrong and you need to revert

Thorough research across multiple sources — use for complex topics needing broad synthesis

Craft better prompts using proven optimization techniques — use when your prompt needs refinement

Convert markdown to DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF office documents — use when you need exportable deliverables

Wrap up a branch — run tests, create PR, merge or discard — use when implementation is done

Create zero-context implementation plans with bite-sized tasks — use for multi-step feature planning

System architecture and API design with multi-AI consensus — use for design reviews and new subsystems

Design UI/UX systems with style guides, palettes, typography, and component specs for new interfaces

Trace codepaths in diffs, map against tests, auto-generate missing coverage — use before shipping PRs

Persist design documents with branch tracking, revision chains, and cross-session discovery

Run tasks in a loop until goals are met — use for iterative refinement, polling, or convergence

Switch to Knowledge Work mode for research and writing — use when task is non-code focused

Lock in user goals upfront and validate outputs against them — use to prevent scope drift

Decompose large tasks across parallel agents — use for migrations, multi-file refactors, or batch work

How to handle code review feedback — verify before implementing, push back when wrong, never agree blindly

Manage tasks with Claude Code native tools — use to track TODOs, delegate work, and monitor progress

Brainstorm creatively with pattern spotting and paradox hunting — use for ideation and exploration

Process screenshot-based UI/UX feedback to fix visual issues — use when users share screenshots of bugs

OWASP compliance, vulnerability scanning, and adversarial red team testing — use for security reviews

Extract patterns and anatomy from URLs — use to reverse-engineer content strategies from live pages

GitHub Copilot CLI as optional zero-cost provider via copilot -p programmatic mode

Project remaining workflow cost from per-phase averages — warns on budget ceiling overruns

Present options with trade-offs for informed decision-making — use when choosing between approaches

Auto-detect work context (Dev vs Knowledge) — use to tailor workflows based on current task type

Route ordinary init, review, and security requests to Claude-native capabilities first; escalate to Octopus only when multi-LLM diversity adds value
