- ▌ Justfile Author · nickcrew bundleUse this skill when authoring or refactoring a justfile (and matching Makefile wrapper) for one of Nick's projects. Triggers when the user asks to "create a justfile", "add a justfile to this project", "set up just for…", "wire up tmux services", "scaffold the task runner", or when working in a repo that lacks a justfile but obviously needs one. Produces a justfile using zsh syntax with the standard svc-* tmux service family, the canonical build/lint/dev/test recipes, a thin Makefile passthrough wrapper that auto-installs just, and per-service tx-start.sh helpers. Do NOT use for editing existing third-party justfiles or non-Nick projects unless the user explicitly opts in.

Maps Nick's three Basic Memory projects (products, work, main) and the per-repo dev trackers, and says which layer owns which kind of question. Consult before reasoning from stored memory summaries about repo architecture, product decisions, active priorities, or ongoing personal/career state — stored memory is lossy; the trackers and the Basic Memory projects are the real artifacts and should be consulted first.
- ▌ Product Manager · nickcrewUse this skill when writing product requirements documents, prioritizing features, creating user stories, defining acceptance criteria, or setting product metrics. Trigger phrases: 'write a PRD for', 'prioritize this feature backlog', 'write user stories for', 'help me define acceptance criteria', 'what metrics should we track for'.

- ▌ Atlas Crew Tasks · nickcrewUse when filing, updating, sequencing, or querying tasks in any atlas-crew repo (Facet + the Atlas Crew Security repos: Apparatus, Chimera, Crucible, Synapse, Bridge). These repos track work in GitHub Issues on Projects v2 boards, NOT backlog.md. Covers the two boards, the Type/Area/Status field model, cross-repo Initiative grouping, gh seq execution ordering, and the non-obvious gh/GraphQL mechanics for setting issue types and project fields. Trigger on: file an issue, create a task, set priority/type/area/status, add to board, what should I work on next, execution order, sequencing, blocked-by, milestone, where does this task go.
- ▌ Business Analyst · nickcrewUse this skill when gathering and documenting business requirements, mapping processes, performing gap analysis, writing business requirements documents (BRDs), or modeling stakeholder impact.

Not for training or fine-tuning models. Not for building eval frameworks from scratch.
- ▌ Release Analysis · nickcrew bundleUser-triggered analysis of how a system gets deployed and recovered — across local (Docker Compose) and cloud (Kubernetes / Eve) release surfaces. Produces mermaid diagrams plus cited reports for promotion paths, environment topology, configuration provenance, and recovery procedures under docs/release/<date>/. Layers on top of architectural-analysis: when a recent docs/architecture/<date>/ report exists, this skill ingests its control-flow, integrations, and failure-modes findings rather than re-deriving them. When verifying cloud-side claims, prefers eve-mcp tools (ShowEnvironments, GetManifest, ShowChannels, ShowDeploymentCrons) over reading manifest YAML by hand. Trigger on "map our release," "trace the promotion path," "where does this config come from," "what's the rollback story," "diagram the environments," "show how a version reaches prod," or any release-shaped question whose deliverable is a diagram plus a cited report. Not for new architectural snapshots (use architectural-analysis), CI pipeline c

Requests reviews from codex, classifies findings by severity (P0-P4), fixes critical issues (P0/P1) through iterative cycles, defers quality improvements to backlog, and escalates after 3 review cycles. Use when working with code that needs structured remediation: 'codex review' in a request triggers this workflow.
- ▌ Incident Response · nickcrew bundleIncident triage, cascade prevention, and postmortem methodology. Use when handling production incidents, designing resilience patterns, or conducting chaos engineering exercises.
- ▌ Market Researcher · nickcrewUse this skill when sizing a market, analyzing competitors, designing customer surveys, segmenting audiences, or synthesizing research into market insights.

- ▌ UI UX Review Suite · nickcrew bundleUser-triggered orchestrator that runs a comprehensive UI/UX review by coaching the user through four sibling skills as distinct lenses against one shared target, then synthesizing their findings into a single prioritized report. Composes user-journey-mapping (flow/funnel lens), ui-design-aesthetics (visual critique lens), interaction-design (state-coverage lens), and ux-review (usability-heuristics + WCAG lens). Resolves the review target once at suite start — the app/URL, the screens or flows under review, the viewports, and the user persona/goal — so every lens inherits the same scope and captured screenshots. Coaches rather than auto-runs — at each step it presents the next lens with its reframing prompt and an approval gate; the user invokes the sibling and confirms before moving on. Because the lenses overlap (ux-review already touches interaction and a11y), the suite scopes each lens to its distinct concern so the synthesis does not double-count. Produces one authored synthesis report — deduped findings

This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.
