Multi-AI implementation using available external providers (Double Diamond Develop phase). DO NOT use for simple code edits, reading/reviewing code, built-in commands, or trivial single-file changes.

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

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

Move incoming issues and pull requests through triage states until each is actionable or closed — use when the queue has piled up or a report arrives unsorted

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

Use when a nontrivial change needs end-to-end verification before committing or shipping

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

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.

Break a plan or spec into vertical slices that each declare what blocks them — use when work is agreed but not yet cut into fileable pieces

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

Interrogate a plan, decision, or design one question at a time until it holds — use to stress-test your own thinking before committing to it

Use when a PR or feature needs both specification and code-quality review

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

Review system architecture, simplify boundaries, or compare interface designs from repository evidence

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

Audit whether a multi-agent setup earns its coordination cost — use before adding an agent, or when a workflow feels slow or agents agree without adding signal

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

Use when starting a complex or ambiguous task that risks scope drift

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

Use when a reviewer, CI bot, or another AI leaves feedback to address

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
