Developer Productivity
Skills listed under Developer Productivity.
Systematic Debugging
Find the root cause before you fix anything: a four-phase process of evidence, patterns, one hypothesis at a time and a tested fix, with a stop rule after three failed attempts.
Changelog Generator
Turns your git commits into a customer-friendly changelog, grouped by features, improvements, security and fixes.
Verify and Stop
Checks whether work meets its acceptance criteria and stops there, without adding scope.
MCP Builder
A guide for building high-quality MCP servers in TypeScript or Python: research, design, implementation, testing and evaluations.
Domain Modeling
Builds your project's shared vocabulary: challenges fuzzy terms, tests them with edge cases, and records them in GLOSSARY.md and ADRs.
PR
A pull request body template: the smallest diagram that explains the change, before and after evidence, and a merge-danger call.
Chrome DevTools Agent
Control and inspect a live Chrome browser through the Chrome DevTools MCP: navigate, click, fill forms, take snapshots and screenshots, read the console and network, and profile performance.
Fix Failing GitHub CI
Debug a failing GitHub Actions check on a pull request: find the failing checks, pull the logs, summarize the cause, draft a fix plan, and change code only after you approve.
Surgical Patch
Fixes a bug at the narrowest layer that owns it, with a regression test and no unrelated cleanup.
Web Application Testing
Create Playwright automation for inspecting, testing, and debugging local web applications.
Diagnosing Bugs
A six-phase loop for hard bugs: build a reproduction that fails on exactly this bug, minimise it, test ranked hypotheses, then fix with a regression test.
Requesting Code Review
Hand a finished piece of work to a fresh reviewer: a code-reviewer prompt with the plan and the exact git range, graded findings, and rules for acting on them.
Brainstorming (idea to approved design)
Turn an idea into an approved design before any code is written: classify the task, ask one question at a time, compare approaches and get your sign-off at each stage.
Security Review (AI code scanner)
Review a codebase like a security researcher: trace user input to dangerous sinks, find injection, access-control and secrets problems, and get patches to review, never applied automatically.
Investigate First
Makes your agent find and prove the cause of a bug before it changes any code.
Prototype
Builds a throwaway prototype to answer one design question: a clickable HTML model for logic, or several UI variations to compare.
Handoff
Compacts the current conversation into a handoff document so a fresh agent session can pick the work up.
Grilling
Has your agent interview you in numbered rounds, with a recommended answer for each question, until every decision in your plan is settled.
Receiving Code Review
Handle review feedback with technical rigour: understand it, check it against the code, push back when it is wrong, clarify before acting and implement one item at a time.
Test-Driven Development (TDD)
Write the failing test first, watch it fail, write the minimum code to pass, then refactor: the red-green-refactor loop with strict rules and a checklist.
Writing for Agents
A reference for writing documents agents read, such as skills, CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md, so they behave predictably.
Verification Before Completion
Evidence before claims: the model may not say work is done, fixed or passing until it has run the verification command in the same turn and read the output.
Writing Implementation Plans
Turn a spec into a step-by-step implementation plan another engineer can follow: exact files, interfaces, test-first steps with expected output and a self-review.
TDD
Test-first development one thin slice at a time: write a failing test, make it pass, and test only at seams you agreed on.
