motlin Skill Guidelines
Invoke these skills liberally - most tasks use multiple skills:
| Skill | When to use |
|---|---|
code-quality |
Before editing code |
cli |
When running shell commands |
precommit |
Before running builds or tests |
git-workflow |
For all git operations |
conversation-style |
For response guidelines |
llm-context |
When working with .llm/ directories |
recap |
Before ending a turn |
Git Commits
Use the git-commit skill for commit operations.
Use the git-conflicts skill to resolve git merge or rebase conflicts.
Use the git-rebase skill to rebase the current branch on upstream.
File Writing Policy
NEVER write files to /tmp or other system temporary directories - reading from /tmp triggers permission prompts. Write scratch files and temporary outputs to .llm/ instead.
Workflow Orchestration
Use the finish skill before returning control to the user when a task made code or git changes. It handles the case where there is nothing to do.
