Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add danielvm-git/bigpowers --skill align-grid — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/danielvm-git/bigpowerscp -r "bigpowers/skills/align-grid" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the align-grid skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add danielvm-git/bigpowers
Run inside Claude Code if the repository ships a plugin marketplace, then pick plugins from /plugin.
Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md — showing the first 30 of 815 files.
-
align-grid
Build editorial/magazine/report webpages on a GENUINE Müller-Brockmann modular grid (International Typographic Style) — not a decorative one. Encodes the discipline (columns + modules + baseline, grotesque type, flush-left, restrained black/white/red palette) AND the hard-won front-end engineering to make the grid real, visible, and verified: one CSS-variable source of truth, an interactive grid-…

assess-impact
Analyze the blast radius of a proposed change before any code is written. Maps dependents, affected stories, and test coverage. Produces specs/IMPACT_LATEST.md. Use before plan-work on any non-trivial change, when touching a shared module, or when the user asks "what does this break?".
skills/assess-impact/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
audit-code
Self-review checklist for the coding agent to run before dispatching a reviewer. Checks CONVENTIONS.md compliance, Boy Scout Rule, test coverage, types, and SOLID. Produces a pass/fail checklist. Use before request-review, before committing, or when user asks for a code quality check.
skills/audit-code/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
audit-plan
Evaluate an incoming project plan against bigpowers principles and conventions, surface gaps, and produce a READY/NOT READY verdict before engagement begins. Use when a new project arrives, when adapting a foreign plan, or before running seed-conventions on an unfamiliar codebase.
skills/audit-plan/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
build-epic
Eight-step epic build cycle — reads state.yaml, execution-status.yaml, and one epic capsule; updates status via bp-yaml-set or direct edit. Resume mode runs one step per invocation. Use instead of ad-hoc execute-plan for release work.
skills/build-epic/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
change-request
Add a new requirement or reorder epics by WSJF against specs/release-plan.yaml and epic capsule directories. Modes Add and Reorder. Use when a new requirement arrives mid-release or the plan needs prioritization.
skills/change-request/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
commit-message
Reviews working-tree changes, then drafts a Conventional Commits title/body and states the semantic-release version bump a single such commit would imply. Also notes which defensive-code categories were touched. Use when the user wants to commit recent work, prepare a Conventional Commits message, or asks for semantic-release / semver-consistent messaging before git commit.
skills/commit-message/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
compose-workflow
Chain multiple bigpowers skills into a custom workflow recipe saved in specs/. Use when a project repeats a non-standard skill sequence, or user wants a documented playbook beyond orchestrate-project modes.
skills/compose-workflow/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
context7-mcp
Fetch current library docs via Context7 MCP instead of training data. Use when user asks about frameworks, APIs, setup, or code examples for React, Next.js, Prisma, etc.
skills/context7-mcp/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
craft-skill
Create new bigpowers skills with proper structure, progressive disclosure, and bundled resources. Use when user wants to create, write, or build a new skill for the bigpowers lifecycle.
skills/craft-skill/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
deepen-architecture
Find deepening opportunities in a codebase, informed by the domain language in specs/tech-architecture/tech-stack.md and the decisions in specs/adr/. Use when the user wants to improve architecture, find refactoring opportunities, consolidate tightly-coupled modules, or make a codebase more testable and AI-navigable.
skills/deepen-architecture/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
define-language
Extract a DDD-style ubiquitous language glossary from the current conversation, flagging ambiguities and proposing canonical terms. Saves to specs/UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE_LATEST.md. Use when user wants to define domain terms, build a glossary, harden terminology, create a ubiquitous language, or mentions "domain model" or "DDD".
skills/define-language/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
define-success
TOMBSTONE — renamed/merged to plan-work. This stub resolves for one release then is removed.
skills/define-success/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
delegate-task
Delegate one complex task to a single subagent, review its work in two stages before merging back. Sequential — one agent at a time, with oversight. Use when a task is complex and requires careful review before the result is accepted. Distinct from dispatch-agents (no parallelism here; reviewer sees full diff before proceeding).
skills/delegate-task/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
deploy
Build → verify artifact → deploy → wait → smoke deployment pipeline. Platform-agnostic (MCP or CLI), with configurable timeout, retry with exponential backoff, and integrated health-check. The deploy half of CI/CD: run after build to push to production.
skills/deploy/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
design-interface
Generate multiple radically different interface designs for a module using parallel sub-agents, then compare trade-offs. Based on "Design It Twice" from A Philosophy of Software Design. Use when user wants to design an API, explore interface options, compare module shapes, or mentions "design it twice".
skills/design-interface/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
develop-tdd
Test-driven development with red-green-refactor loop using vertical slices. Use for features (epic tasks) or bugs (specs/bugs/BUG-*.md).
skills/develop-tdd/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
diagnose-root
Run 4-phase root cause analysis — reproduce, isolate, hypothesize, verify. Use when a bug is confirmed but root cause is unclear, after investigate-bug, or when user mentions root cause analysis.
skills/diagnose-root/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
diagnose-stall
Diagnose why agent orchestration stopped producing progress — silent stalls in /loop, dispatch-agents, or execute-plan. Use when work appears hung, no output for several minutes, or a subagent never returned.
skills/diagnose-stall/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
dispatch-agents
Dispatch multiple subagents in parallel on independent tasks. No waiting between them — all run concurrently. Use when tasks are truly decoupled and speed matters. Distinct from delegate-task (concurrent here, no inter-task review gate).
skills/dispatch-agents/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
edit-document
Edit and improve documents by restructuring sections, improving clarity, and tightening prose. Use when user wants to edit, revise, restructure, or improve any document — including specs/ files, articles, READMEs, or technical writing.
skills/edit-document/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
elaborate-spec
Refine a rough idea into a clear, detailed specification through dialogue. Does not produce code. Use when user has a vague idea, wants to think through a feature before planning, or needs to turn "I want X" into a concrete spec.
skills/elaborate-spec/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
enforce-first
Apply the F.I.R.S.T test quality rubric (per CONVENTIONS.md §Tests) to a test suite or individual tests. Use when develop-tdd is writing tests, when test quality needs to be checked, or when user mentions F.I.R.S.T or "test quality".
skills/enforce-first/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
evolve-skill
Benchmark-gated skill evolution — consume bigpowers-benchmark report, propose plan-work change, edit skill via craft-skill, re-run benchmark, record ADR. Use when a skill underperforms on benchmark or stocktake finds systemic gap.
skills/evolve-skill/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
execute-plan
Batch-execute tasks from the active epic capsule sequentially, with a human checkpoint after each step. Use when user has an approved plan and wants step-by-step oversight.
skills/execute-plan/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
extract-design
Extract a Google DESIGN.md file from an HTML prototype (claude.ai/design or any styled page) using Puppeteer, producing machine-readable tokens and AI-generated prose. Use when the user has an HTML prototype and wants a DESIGN.md to anchor their project's visual identity, or when seed-conventions has just scaffolded a new project.
skills/extract-design/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
find-way
Plan a large effort as a shared map of decision tickets on an issue tracker, resolving them one at a time until the way is clear. Use when an idea is too big for one session, needs structured exploration before implementation, or requires mapping decisions before building.
skills/find-way/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
fix-bug
Bug fix orchestrator — active_flow fix_bug; reads specs/bugs/BUG-*.md; chains investigate-bug, develop-tdd, validate-fix. Use when user reports a defect.
skills/fix-bug/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
gate-trace
Deterministic traceability quality gate — reads coverage matrix + blind-spot data, applies decision rules with oracle confidence downgrade, emits PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL/WAIVED verdict. Use before release-branch to gate merges on traceability.
skills/gate-trace/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
generate-allure-report
Generate Allure-ready reports from bigpowers YAML metadata. Reads execution-status.yaml, release-plan.yaml, epic capsules, task YAMLs, cycle-times.yaml, and bug registry to produce allure-results/junit-results.xml, categories.json, and executor.json. Use when preparing progress dashboards, integrating with Allure TestOps, or generating CI reports.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
