In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md — showing the first 30 of 63 files.

• architect

  Sketch types, signatures, and module structure before code, then stay in the loop while implementation fills in. Use for $architect, 'architect this', 'design this', or non-trivial work where jumping to code would lock in the wrong shape.

• arena

  Spawn N parallel candidates at the same task, pick a base, graft the strongest parts of the losers into it. Use for $arena, 'arena this', 'throw it in the arena', or when one attempt at a non-trivial artifact would lock in the wrong shape.

• automate-maintainer

  Create or update mode skills from named GitHub maintainers' engineering activity. Use for automate maintainer, review in a named maintainer's style, or capture a named group's conventions.

• automate-me

  Use for "automate me", "create/update/refresh my -mode skill", "turn/capture my preferences or working style into a skill", or wanting agents to follow how the user works. Drafts or revises a personal -mode skill via skill-creator and unslop, optionally using recent transcripts.

• automate-team

  Discover a repository's active core contributors and create or refresh a team mode from their engineering activity. Use for automate team or capture this repository's maintainer conventions.

• benchmark-checklist

  Vet a perf measurement (limiter, tuning, limits, errors, repeatability, relevance, and whether the work happened) before you report or act on it. Use when you run a benchmark or report a speedup or regression you measured.

  plugins/pstack/skills/benchmark-checklist/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• blast-radius

  Find what a change could break somewhere else before it ships, beyond the diff, and prove the one fact it's safe because of by running real code instead of writing it up. Use for 'blast radius of X', 'what could this break', or reviewing a small diff you don't trust.

• bro

  Restate the last message in plain human language, with no jargon.

  plugins/pstack/skills/bro/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• correct

  Find the mistakes agents keep repeating in this repo and make each one impossible. Try architecture first, then types, then a lint whose error names the fix, then a test, and write docs last. Prove each check fails on a real past mistake. Repeat this each time the operator corrects you. Use for $correct.

• create-formal-verification-skill

  Generate a project-local skill that formally verifies the code where a bug costs the most and tests reach the least, in any language, with whichever verification tool fits. Use for $create-formal-verification-skill, "model-check this race", "prove this invariant", or when concurrency, retries, state machines, parsers, or unsafe code need more than tests.

  plugins/pstack/skills/create-formal-verification-skill/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• create-verification-skill

  Generate a project-local verification skill that drives your app the way a user does — any language, framework, or platform. Use for $create-verification-skill, "make a control skill for this repo", or when a project has no scripted way to prove UI/CLI/service behavior.

  plugins/pstack/skills/create-verification-skill/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• figure-it-out

  Design an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions. Use for $figure-it-out or 'figure it out'.

• how

  Use for "how does X work", code walkthroughs before changing something, and placement / ownership / layering questions ("where should this live", "which package owns this", "is this the right layer"). Explains subsystem architecture, runtime flow, onboarding mental models. Use why for motivation.

• in-your-own-words

  Restate in your own words what you think the user's goals are and what problem they're trying to solve. Use for $in-your-own-words.

  plugins/pstack/skills/in-your-own-words/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• interrogate

  Use for "interrogate", "adversarial review", "multi-model review", "challenge this", "stress test this code", "find blind spots", or "tear this apart". Multiple LLM reviewers challenge changes from independent angles.

• ketchup-video

  Catch the user up like $ketchup, with a short silent video of slides for what happened and the waiting calls as text under it. Use for $ketchup-video.

  plugins/pstack/skills/ketchup-video/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• ketchup

  Catch the user up on what changed in this chat since their last message, in plain words and small visuals. List every item waiting on them with what they need to decide it from the reply alone. Use for $ketchup.

• maintain-formal-verification-skill

  Bring a project's formal verification back in line with the code after the code changes: find the commits that touched verified code, update the model, harness, or properties to describe the code as it is now, rerun, and say whether each failure is drift in the verification or a bug in the code. Use for $maintain-formal-verification-skill, "is the model still true to the code", or after merges an…

• maintain-verification-skill

  Periodic pass that keeps a project's verification skill and feature map honest: parallel source readers per feature, one live session driving every feature, at most one PR of proven corrections. Use for $maintain-verification-skill or "audit the verify skill".

  plugins/pstack/skills/maintain-verification-skill/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• make-bot-ui

  Build a small local page or dashboard that submits structured work to a Codex-backed HTTP endpoint without exposing credentials in the browser. Use when a user wants buttons or a UI in front of an existing Codex service or automation endpoint.

  plugins/pstack/skills/make-bot-ui/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• no-comments

  Spawn Comment Sicko, fix accepted findings, and offer encodings for claimed constraints.

• poteto-help

  Guides users through pstack setup, $poteto-mode, and picking the skill, playbook, or principle for a task. Type $poteto-help with a question.

  plugins/pstack/skills/poteto-help/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• poteto-mode

  poteto's agent style for concise, detailed responses, deliberate subagents, unslopped prose, simple code, and verified work. Use for poteto, $poteto-mode, or requests to work in this style.

  plugins/pstack/skills/poteto-mode/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• principle-attack-the-premise

  Apply when two or more fixes that share one premise have failed the same gate. Write the premise down and test it directly before you write another fix that assumes it.

  plugins/pstack/skills/principle-attack-the-premise/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• principle-boundary-discipline

  Apply when wiring validation, error handling, or framework adapters. Concentrate guards at system boundaries (CLI, config, network, external APIs); trust internal types and keep business logic in pure functions.

  plugins/pstack/skills/principle-boundary-discipline/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• principle-build-the-lever

  Apply to any non-trivial work, not just bulk work: edits, migrations, analyses, checks. Build the tool that does it or proves it (codemod, script, generator, or a skill your subagents follow) instead of working by hand. The tool is the artifact a reviewer can rerun.

  plugins/pstack/skills/principle-build-the-lever/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• principle-encode-lessons-in-structure

  Apply when you catch yourself writing the same instruction a second time, or notice a recurring correction. Encode the rule as a lint, metadata flag, runtime check, or script instead of more text.

  plugins/pstack/skills/principle-encode-lessons-in-structure/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• principle-exhaust-the-design-space

  Apply when facing a novel UI interaction or architectural decision with no precedent in the codebase. Build 2-3 competing prototypes and compare side by side before committing.

  plugins/pstack/skills/principle-exhaust-the-design-space/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• principle-experience-first

  Apply when product, UX, or feature-scope tradeoffs come up. Choose user delight over implementation convenience; ship fewer polished features over more rough ones.

  plugins/pstack/skills/principle-experience-first/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• principle-explain-the-number

  Apply before you trust, report, or act on a number you measured: a speedup, a regression, a throughput, a latency, or an eval result. Find what limits it, and rule out that it measured something other than the work you think.
