  1. ▌
    Dependabot Review · thoughtbot bundle
    Reviews Dependabot dependency upgrade pull requests to assess impact, breaking changes, and merge readiness. Works across ecosystems (npm, RubyGems, PyPI, Go modules, etc.). Works in two modes: (1) single-PR review when the user pastes a Dependabot PR URL, and (2) audit mode that discovers every open Dependabot PR in the current repo, analyzes them one by one, and produces a consolidated triage report. Use this skill whenever the user pastes a Dependabot PR URL, asks to review a dependency upgrade PR, mentions a package version bump, or wants to know if a Dependabot PR is safe to merge. Also trigger in audit mode when the user says things like "review all open dependabot PRs", "which dependabot PRs are ready to merge", "audit our dep upgrades", "go through the open dep PRs", "check dependabot", or asks for a status/report on pending dependency updates. Trigger on any GitHub PR URL related to dependabot, package upgrades, or "bump" in the title.

    Rails Audit Thoughtbot · thoughtbot bundle
    Perform comprehensive code audits of Ruby on Rails applications based on thoughtbot best practices. Use this skill when the user requests a code audit, code review, quality assessment, or analysis of a Rails application. The skill analyzes the entire codebase focusing on testing practices (RSpec), security vulnerabilities, code design (skinny controllers, domain models, PORO with ActiveModel), Rails conventions, database optimization, and Ruby best practices. Outputs a detailed markdown audit report grouped by category (Testing, Security, Models, Controllers, Code Design, Views) with severity levels (Critical, High, Medium, Low) within each category.

  3. ▌
    Atomic Commits · thoughtbot
    Use when implementing features, fixing bugs, refactoring code, or making any multi-step code changes. Guides agents to commit early and often in atomic increments, separate feature/refactor/cleanup work, and keep pull requests under ~200 lines. Use whenever writing code that will be committed, even if the user doesn't mention commits or PRs.

    Slice · thoughtbot bundle

    Feature Dev · thoughtbot bundle
    Take one new feature slice from idea to reviewed, committed code in a single guided pass — scope it into the smallest shippable slice, build it test-first with strict TDD, review and fix the diff, then commit it. Chains slice → test-driven-development → the built-in /code-review → git-commit. Not for reviewing an existing PR, upgrades, or open-ended design questions.

    Socratic Review · thoughtbot bundle
    Socratic code review and refactoring session — whether it's your own code, a teammate's PR, or something you inherited. Leads you to see the issues through questions, names smells and moves precisely, then closes with a concrete plan.

    Test Driven Development · thoughtbot bundle
    Strict red-green-refactor TDD workflow for implementing features, fixing bugs, or changing behavior in Rails applications. Enforces the discipline of writing a failing test before any production code. Use whenever you want to implement with TDD — whether a new feature, a bugfix, a refactor, or any behavior change.
