Specialist agents
Each agent owns a job — planning, review, safety, memory, release — instead of one prompt trying to do everything.
Breaks a goal into a reviewable, ordered plan before any edits.
Executes the plan step by step, staying inside the agreed scope.
Reviews diffs against project rules and flags risky changes.
Guards branches, secrets, and destructive commands before they run.
Decodes cryptic errors, traces root causes, and proposes targeted fixes.
Writes decisions, facts, and handoffs to durable project memory.
Designs and generates tests, then hunts down flaky ones.
Runs the ship checklist, tags releases, and prepares rollbacks.
Tracks upgrades, CVEs, and the cost of staying current.
Spots scope creep and steers back to the shortest path to done.
Walks first-time users through a safe install, explains every generated file in plain language, and tailors guidance to your skill level.
Every skill and agent lands in your repo as human-readable files you review in Git before you commit.
