- ▌ Frontend Design 2 · manzanita-researchBuild frontend interfaces for Manzanita Research — warm, editorial, California-rooted design for music tools and brand pages. React + Tailwind. Use when building web components, pages, landing pages, dashboards, plugin UIs, or any web interface for Manzanita projects.
- ▌ Village Radio · manzanita-research bundleCommunity playlist automation — keeps your village's playlist fresh with new releases, pinned tracks, and all-time favorites.
- ▌ Onboard · manzanita-researchGuided artist onboarding for independent musicians. Use when a musician wants to set up, clarify, refresh, or document the creative and promo context for an artist project before making social posts, reels, lyric videos, visualizers, show recaps, campaign assets, brand kits, merch concepts, bios, captions, or release materials. This skill interviews conversationally, one question at a time, then writes or updates ARTIST.md and DESIGN.md so later Pedalboard skills can sound and look like the artist instead of producing generic marketing output.
- ▌ Stylescape · manzanita-researchVisual style exploration for independent musicians and artist projects. Use when a musician wants to dial in visuals, generate style directions, create stylescapes, explore cover art / social / merch / video aesthetics, compare visual lanes, or turn generated image variants into brand guidelines. This skill reads ARTIST.md and DESIGN.md, proposes 3-5 distinct visual lanes, uses available image generation tools when present, then distills the selected direction back into DESIGN.md so later promo and video skills inherit a coherent visual world.
- ▌ Name Check · manzanita-research bundleComprehensive artist name availability checker with parallel search agents that scan Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, Tidal, Subvert, YouTube Music, TikTok, Discogs, and MusicBrainz simultaneously. ALWAYS use this skill when a musician asks about a name — whether they say "is this name taken", "can I use this name", "check this band name", "would X be a good artist name", "any conflicts with this name", or anything about name availability, name conflicts, or choosing an artist/band/stage/project name. This skill has specialized subagents and a structured analysis workflow that produces much better results than ad-hoc searching. Use it even for indirect requests like "I'm thinking of calling my project X" or "we need a name for our band, what about X" — if there's a specific name mentioned and the user wants to know if it's safe to use, this skill applies.
- ▌ Pitch Md · manzanita-research bundleCreate or update a PITCH.md — a plain-text pitch for your project that tells the story, communicates the vision, and makes the case. Not a README (that's for users). Not a pitch deck (that's theater). This is the argument for why this thing should exist, written clearly enough that it speaks for itself.
- ▌ Tui Design · manzanita-research bundleBuild terminal user interfaces with craft and intention — information architecture, interaction design, and visual hierarchy in monospace. Go + Bubble Tea + Lip Gloss. Use when building TUI dashboards, interactive CLIs, terminal menus, status displays, or any terminal interface. For Manzanita Research projects, this skill works alongside brand-tokens for the color palette.
- ▌ Brand Voice · manzanita-research bundleWrite in the Manzanita Research voice — warm, grounded, direct, never corporate. Use for any prose output: READMEs, marketing pages, social posts, changelogs, error messages, UI copy, blog posts, or any text that carries the brand.
- ▌ Brand Tokens · manzanita-research bundleManzanita Research visual identity tokens — colors, typography, and texture direction. Apply these whenever building any visual interface (web, terminal, print, slides) for a Manzanita project. Other design skills (frontend-design, tui-design) reference this as their brand layer. Use this skill when you need the specific color values, font settings, or visual identity rules for Manzanita Research, even if you're not using one of the design skills.
- ▌ Frontend Design · manzanita-research bundleBuild frontend interfaces with intentional, craft-level design — editorial layout, expressive typography, textured atmosphere, and considered motion. React + Tailwind. Use when building web components, pages, landing pages, dashboards, plugin UIs, or any web interface. For Manzanita Research projects, this skill works alongside brand-tokens for the visual identity layer.
- ▌ Generate Hero Prompt · manzanita-research bundleGenerate image prompts for Manzanita Research hero images. Reads the current repo to infer what the project is, then writes prompts you can paste into Flora or any text-to-image tool. Eco-futurist, feminine, 1980s-meets-2180s California.
- ▌ Recall · manzanita-research bundleSearch past idea-girlie research across all projects. Use when the user asks "have we researched this before", "what do we know about X", "find that research on Y", "recall", "pull up past research", "what did the idea girlies say about", or any variation of wanting to search the centralized knowledge base for prior research sessions.
- ▌ Linear Seed · manzanita-researchCapture project ideas as lightweight Linear issues before they become real repos. Use when the user floats an idea, riffs on a concept, says "what if we...", "we should build...", "imagine if...", "idea:", or any variation of sharing a project idea they're not ready to commit to. Also triggers on "catch this idea", "pin this thought", "seed this", or "add to the wall". This is the sticky-note-on-the-studio-wall skill.
- ▌ Linear Setup · manzanita-researchSet up Linear for solo or small-team multi-repo work. Creates the one-team + product-label-group structure, discovers repos from GitHub, and builds custom views. Use when someone says "set up linear", "organize my linear", "I have too many repos", "how should I structure linear", "set up labels for my repos", or any variation of configuring Linear for multi-project work.
- ▌ Farm Stand · manzanita-research bundleGenerate a "building in public" update from recent Linear activity and freeform notes. Use when the user wants to share what they've shipped, write a dev update, post about recent work, or draft a "here's what we built" post. Triggers on "farm-stand", "what did I ship", "write an update", "building in public", "what have I been working on", "status update", "what's new", "what did we release", or any variation of wanting to summarize recent work for an audience.
- ▌ Linear Workflow · manzanita-research bundleTrack work in Linear via linctl without leaving your editor. Use this skill whenever the user describes work to be done — feature requests, bugs, improvements, things to build, things to fix. Also use it when the user explicitly asks to create an issue, check what's open, or work on a ticket. Triggers on intent like "let's build X", "we need to fix Y", "add support for Z", "X is broken", "it would be nice if", "what's ready", "what should I work on next", "what's on the board", as well as explicit "create an issue". If this skill is loaded in your context, use Linear for task tracking.
- ▌ Gsd To Linear · manzanita-researchMigrate a repo's GSD (.planning/) data to Linear issues. Use this skill when the user wants to transition from GSD to Linear, move planning data to Linear, import GSD phases into Linear, or asks about migrating their .planning/ directory. Also triggers on "migrate to linear", "move GSD to linear", "import planning to linear", or any mention of converting GSD phases/plans into Linear issues. Only relevant for repos that have a .planning/ directory.
- ▌ Idea Girlie · manzanita-research bundleSpin up parallel divergent research agents to explore an idea from every angle. Use when the user has a braindump, PRD, seed, concept, or half-formed idea they want explored. Triggers on "idea girlie", "divergent research", "explore this idea", "brainstorm this", "spin up researchers", "what are the options", "research this from different angles", "give me wild ideas", "I need divergent thinking on this", "explore the possibility space", or any variation of wanting parallel creative/strategic research on a concept.
