Orchestrator for agent harness work — the setup that makes AI agents follow project rules and improve when they fail. FIRES PROACTIVELY when agents misbehave, repeat mistakes, ignore instructions, skip skills, or when AGENTS.md exists but docs/harness/manifest.json is missing. Also triggers on: harness engineering, agent scaffold, agent keeps failing, agent not following instructions, make agents reliable, agents going off rails, agent forgot context, improve agent setup, self-improving agents, agents keep making mistakes, why is my agent bad, agent quality, agent setup broken, agents ignore skills, same mistake again, fix agent behavior, tune agent instructions, set up agent infrastructure, after project setup agents still bad. Routes bootstrap vs evolution. Not multi-agent topology — agent-builder.

Make the agent solve coding tasks with the least code that remains correct. Before writing code, walk the Ponytail ladder: skip what need not exist, then prefer stdlib, native platform features, already-installed dependencies, one line, and only then the minimum custom code. Use when the user asks for ponytail mode, less code, YAGNI, anti-bloat, minimal code, an over-engineering review, a current-diff delete-list, a whole-repo bloat audit, or a `ponytail:` tech-debt harvest. Keep validation, data-loss handling, security, and accessibility. Mark shortcuts with `ponytail:` plus the upgrade path. Triggers on: ponytail, /ponytail, /ponytail-review, /ponytail-audit, /ponytail-debt, write less code, YAGNI, over-engineering, anti-bloat, minimal code, do I need this, lazy dev.

Use PROACTIVELY for K8s architecture, GitOps implementation, or cloud-native platform design.

Short clarifying interview before starting non-trivial engineering work — surfaces the actual requirement, what's explicitly out of scope, and what proves it's done. Use before writing code when the task's requirement, scope, or definition of done isn't already unambiguous. Not for trivial or fully-specified changes — that's ceremony, not clarity.

Design and apply QA methodology for software teams: test strategy, regression testing, CI failure triage, test automation, quality gates and metrics, risk-based testing, exploratory testing, test design techniques, AI code quality gates (independent verification, acceptance-criteria testability review for agentic Spec-Driven Development), mutation-guided test hardening and review evidence (surviving mutants, weak assertions, diff-aware mutation testing), agentic eval design (dataset test design, judge-as-system-under-test, flaky-eval discipline), QA career levels (Senior/Staff/Principal), and SDET engineering (test infrastructure, gTAA, CI/CD integration). Do not use for root-cause debugging of production incidents, security implementation or threat modeling, or evaluation framework governance and statistical analysis — route those to systematic-debugging, secure-software-engineering, and agent-evals-and-observability respectively.

React and Next.js performance optimization patterns adapted from Vercel Engineering's React Best Practices (https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills).

Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React/Next.js code for performance.

You are an expert in DSPy, the Stanford framework that replaces prompt engineering with programming. You help developers define LLM tasks as typed signatures, compose them into modules, and automatically optimize prompts/few-shot examples using teleprompters — so instead of manually crafting prompts, you write Python code and DSPy finds the best prompts for your task.

Every product will be AI-powered. The question is whether you'll build it right or ship a demo that falls apart in production. This skill covers LLM integration patterns, RAG architecture, prompt engineering that scales, AI UX that users trust, and cost optimization that doesn't bankrupt you. Use when: keywords, file_patterns, code_patterns.

Autonomous discovery of concepts, methods, and vocabulary we have NOT heard of yet — sweeps broadly, diffs against a known-concepts ledger, and reports only what is genuinely new plus whether it names a gap in this stack. Built because 'graph engineering' had to arrive by word of mouth: a fixed topic list can only refresh what you already named, so it can never surface the thing you did not know to look for. Use for periodic/scheduled discovery, 'what's new in agent engineering', 'what are we missing', 'anything we haven't heard of'. Triggers: radar, discover, what's new, unknown unknowns, 新概念, 我们没听过的, 有什么没跟上的 — NOT for researching a topic you can already name (use /research), NOT for model releases (use /model-research), NOT for internal priorities (use /next).
