Builtin Skills

Evaluate Agent Skill design quality against official specifications and best practices. Use when reviewing, auditing, or improving SKILL.md files and skill packages. Provides multi-dimensional scoring and actionable improvement suggestions.

Transform an AI agent into a tasteful, disciplined development partner. Not just a code generator, but a collaborator with professional standards, transparent decision-making, and craftsmanship. Use for any development task: building features, fixing bugs, designing systems, refactoring. The human provides vision and decisions. The agent provides execution with taste and discipline.

Diagnose and align Kode LSP behavior with the reference CLI (plugin-based .lsp.json, stdio-only, no install menus). Use when LSP results are missing, LSP is disabled, or you need to configure plugin LSP servers without telling the user to run menu-style install commands.

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Guide for creating effective skills. Use when creating a new skill (or updating an existing skill) that extends an agent’s capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

A set of resources to help write internal communications in common company formats. Use when asked to write internal communications (status reports, leadership updates, 3P updates, company newsletters, FAQs, incident reports, project updates, etc.).

A structured workflow for co-authoring high-signal docs (PRD, RFC, design docs, proposals, decision records). Use when the user needs to turn messy context into a readable artifact with clear goals, tradeoffs, and next steps. Emphasizes context capture, outline-first drafting, and context-free reader testing to catch blind spots.

Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Use this skill when the user asks to build web components, pages, artifacts, posters, or applications (examples include websites, landing pages, dashboards, React components, HTML/CSS layouts, or when styling/beautifying any web UI). Generates creative, polished code and UI design that avoids generic AI aesthetics.

Troubleshoot Kode permission prompts/denials (tool allowlists, commandAllowedTools, dontAsk fail-closed, subagent inheritance). Use when tools are unexpectedly blocked, permission prompts repeat, or behavior differs between main agent and subagents.

Kode capability-management playbook: treat features (LSP, statusline, output styles, plugins, notifications) as configurable capabilities and drive changes through the agent CLI (SlashCommand/Task) instead of pushing users into menu-like flows. Use when the user asks to enable/disable/configure a capability, diagnose why it’s off, or wants the agent to self-manage Kode’s own features (meta capability management).
