In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md — showing the first 30 of 34 files.

• git-push-and-tag

  Final-phase skill that stages beads, commits, pushes to the remote branch, and labels the GitHub issue as "Ready". Invoked by issue-to-beads as the last step after all beads have been filed, reviewed, and synced. Can also be used standalone when you have synced beads on an issue branch that need to be committed and pushed.

• issue-to-beads

  Decomposes GitHub issues into structured Beads epics, tasks, and sub-tasks with objectively verifiable acceptance criteria. Use this skill whenever the user mentions converting GitHub issues to Beads, planning work from a GitHub issue, decomposing issues into tasks, breaking down a GitHub issue, or wants to take an issue and turn it into actionable Beads work items. Also trigger when the user say…

• plan-only

  Plan-only mode that replicates Claude Code's built-in plan mode workflow but stops after the user approves the plan — no auto-execution. Use when the user wants to plan without executing, says "plan only", "just plan", "plan but don't execute", or when another skill needs planning without triggering auto-execution. Writes the plan to .claude/plans/<slug>.md.

• Context Optimization

  This skill should be used when the user asks about "context window optimization", "reduce context usage", "context is filling up", "running out of context", "context bloat", "optimize my sessions", "why is context so large", or when providing advice on how to keep Claude Code sessions efficient. Provides knowledge about what consumes context and strategies to minimize waste.
