>- Activate for changes to project positioning, release communication, community-facing artifacts, or breaking-change decisions in microsoft/apm. Triggers on README, MANIFESTO, PRD, CHANGELOG, release workflows, and issue templates.

>- Use this skill to triage a single newly opened, reopened, or `status/needs-triage`-labelled issue in microsoft/apm. Emit one synthesized comment with a triage decision, label set, milestone, and suggested next action.

>- Use this skill to run a four-panel adversarial advisory review on any pull request that touches the OpenAPM specification artifact (docs/src/content/docs/specs/openapm-*.md), its inline / sidecar JSON Schemas (docs/src/content/docs/specs/schemas/*.schema.json), or the conformance fixture seed (tests/fixtures/spec-conformance/**). The panel fans out to four spec-ecosystem reviewers (swagger-openapi-editor, oci-distribution-editor, pkgmgr-registry-contract-editor, w3c-tag-architect), each running in its own agent thread, and a spec-editor synthesizer that produces a fold-now / defer-v0.1.1 / defer-v0.2 / reject list plus a ship decision keyed off a 1..10 shocked_meter scale. The orchestrator is labels, no merge gating. The panel is advisory -- it surfaces findings, prioritizes folds, and renders a ship recommendation that the maintainer weighs.

Deterministic end-to-end driver for day-0 quantized-checkpoint releases — chains PTQ → evaluation → comparison with enforced gates between stages (the evaluation stage deploys the checkpoint itself), and returns a publish decision (ACCEPT / REGRESSION / ANOMALOUS / INFEASIBLE). Use when the user asks to "release a model at day-0", "quantize and validate model X is within N% of baseline and tell me if it's publishable", or "run the full day-0 workflow". Do NOT use for single-stage requests — quantizing only (use ptq), serving only (use deployment), evaluating only (use evaluation), or comparing two existing runs (use compare-results).

>- Run explicitly requested ModelOpt Quantization-Aware Distillation (QAD) on Slurm through Megatron Bridge to recover a measured BF16-to-PTQ accuracy gap. Use only when the user explicitly asks for QAD, including its topology, data preparation, Slurm launch, resume, checkpoint export, or recovery decisions.

> GSC-driven content calendar. Pulls real Search Console data, finds the highest click-potential opportunities (striking-distance queries at positions 5-20, unanswered query intent, related-keyword expansions), and produces a dated, prioritized content calendar — ready to hand to /content-writer. Use when the user asks "plan my content", "what should I write next", "content calendar", "content plan", "content roadmap", "editorial calendar", "what topics will rank", "find quick-win SEO topics", "click-potential analysis", or "schedule my SEO content".

Bug bounty report writing for H1/Bugcrowd/Intigriti/Immunefi — report templates, human tone guidelines, impact-first writing, CVSS 3.1 scoring, title formula, impact statement formula, severity decision guide, downgrade counters, pre-submit checklist. Validation gates and the submittability/always-rejected decision are owned by triage-validation; this skill owns the written report itself (templates, tone, formulas). Use after validating a finding and before submitting. Never use "could potentially" — prove it or don't report.

Security payloads, bypass tables, wordlists, gf pattern names, always-rejected bug list, and conditionally-valid-with-chain table. Use when you need specific payloads for XSS/SSRF/SQLi/XXE/NoSQLi/command injection/SSTI/IDOR/path-traversal/HTTP smuggling/WebSocket/MFA bypass, or bypass techniques. Submittability and the always-rejected / what-NOT-to-submit decision are owned by triage-validation.

Finding validation before writing any report — 7-Question Gate (all 7 questions), 4 pre-submission gates, always-rejected list, conditionally valid with chain table, CVSS 3.1 quick reference, severity decision guide, report title formula, 60-second pre-submit checklist. Use BEFORE writing any report. One wrong answer = kill the finding and move on. Saves N/A ratio.

How to work in a Personal CRM project (the `entity-vault` starter pack, GBrain-compatible): a typed-entity vault of people, companies, meetings, and concepts, each a dossier with a rewritable summary plus an append-only timeline. Read when the project has these folders, OR when asked to capture notes about a person or company, log a meeting, prep for an upcoming meeting, or answer who someone is and what was last said. Carries the dossier convention and entity-extraction behaviors so that guidance does not live inside template bodies or folder descriptions. Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it.

Promote existing research into a canonical article under `articles/` in a Knowledge Base project (the `knowledge-base` starter pack). Read when a decision has actually been made and the team wants the source-of-truth written down, or when asked to consolidate, canonicalize, promote research, or supersede an older article. Carries the decision-confirmation gate, the `supersedes:` chain that keeps the evidence trail intact, and the canonical voice. Does not conduct new research — that is the sibling `research` skill.

How to work in an OKF starter project (the `okf` starter pack): a knowledge base that is conformant with Google's Open Knowledge Format (OKF) from commit one — `concepts/`, `references/`, `notes/`, a reserved `index.md` navigation hub, and a reserved `log.md` change history. Read when the project has these folders plus reserved files, OR when asked whether a document is OKF-conformant, or to add a document to an OKF knowledge base. Carries the OKF conventions (non-empty `type` on every non-reserved doc; reserved files carry no frontmatter) as guidance, not enforcement. Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it.

How to work in a Plain Notes project (the `plain-notes` starter pack): a flat notes/ folder plus a daily/ journal. The 'I just want to write' layout. Read when the project has these folders, OR when asked to jot a note, capture a quick thought, or write today's journal entry. Carries the linking habit and daily-entry behavior so templates and folder descriptions stay minimal. Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it.

How to work in a Software Lifecycle project (the `software-lifecycle` starter pack): proposals → decisions → specs → postmortems, plus guides. Read when the project has these folders, or when asked how this project is organized. Carries the doc lifecycle, status flows, and per-folder agent behaviors so that guidance does not live inside template bodies or folder descriptions. The five workflows — frame a proposal, write a spec, record a decision, write a postmortem, review a design — each ship as their own sibling skill in this pack. Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it.

Frame a new design proposal (RFC-shape) under proposals/ — problem before solution, named beneficiary and observable change, real alternatives, honest drawbacks, and a live open-questions backlog. Read when asked to frame a proposal, write an RFC, propose a design, pitch a change, draft a PRD-style design doc, or open a design proposal for review. Do NOT read to record a decision after it is accepted (use record-a-decision), to write an implementation spec (use write-a-spec), to write a postmortem (use write-a-postmortem), or to review or critique an existing design (use review-a-design).

Records an architecture decision as a Nygard/MADR-shaped ADR under decisions/ — capturing the context that forced the choice, the options weighed, the decision itself, and its consequences in both directions, plus the supersedes chain that keeps a decision log honest. Read when asked to record an architecture decision, write an ADR, log the decision we made, document why we chose X over Y, capture this decision for the record, or supersede an old decision with a new one. Do NOT read to frame a proposal or explore an idea not yet decided (frame-a-proposal), to write a spec or implementation plan (write-a-spec), to write an incident postmortem (write-a-postmortem), or to judge whether a design is sound (review-a-design). This skill records a decision already made; it does not make one.

Reviews whether a design is SOUND — solving the right problem, derived from its stated goals and constraints — and emits ranked, evidence-backed findings, not edits. Read when asked to 'review this design', 'is this design sound', 'pressure-test this proposal', 'do a design review', 'does this solve the right problem', 'poke holes in this spec', 'should we build this', or to critique a proposal / spec / ADR / architecture or product decision. Do NOT read when the user wants to AUTHOR one of these — routing a new proposal is frame-a-proposal, a spec is write-a-spec, a decision record is record-a-decision, a postmortem is write-a-postmortem. Do NOT read for code review of a diff, or to fact-check individual claims (that is a correctness pass, a different job).

Write a blameless incident postmortem under postmortems/ following the Google SRE shape — evidence-based timeline, trigger vs root cause vs symptom, contributing factors, what went well, and owned+dated+verifiable action items. Read when asked to write a postmortem, do an incident review, run a root cause analysis, write up the outage, retro on the outage, or when the user says we had an incident and wants it documented. Do NOT read to frame a proposal (use frame-a-proposal), write a spec (use write-a-spec), record a decision (use record-a-decision), or review a design (use review-a-design) — a postmortem documents an incident that already happened, it does not propose, specify, decide, or critique future work.

Scope a feature end to end and write an implementation spec under specs/ from an accepted proposal — current-system mapping, goals/non-goals, a Decision Log for one-way-door choices, a live Open Questions backlog, and a real migration + test plan. Read when asked to write a spec, scope this feature, turn this proposal into a spec, plan the implementation, or break this into tasks. Do NOT fire on frame a proposal or write the PRD (sibling frame-a-proposal — a PRD frames a change before it is accepted; this skill starts once one is), record a decision or write the ADR (record-a-decision), write a postmortem (write-a-postmortem), or review this design (review-a-design) — those are separate skills. Complements the platform open-knowledge skill; does not replace it.

How to work in a Worldbuilding project (the `worldbuilding` starter pack): a fiction encyclopedia of characters, settings, themes, factions, and lore. Read when the project has these folders, OR when asked to add a character, setting, faction, or piece of lore, or to check the world for internal consistency. Carries the auto-stub and consistency behaviors so that guidance does not live inside template bodies or folder descriptions. Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it.

Authoritative agent-runtime contract for working inside an OpenKnowledge project — a markdown-CRDT knowledge base exposed over MCP. Use whenever reading, listing, searching, editing, or linting any `.md` or `.mdx` file in the project, and before any `mcp__open-knowledge__*` tool call (`exec`, `search`, `write`, `edit`, `lint`, and the rest). Installed by `ok init`, so its presence means this is an OpenKnowledge project and it governs every markdown file here. Covers the read/write tool surface, grounding and linking rules, folder/template conventions, the live browser preview, and the rule that OK's MCP tools — never native file tools — handle in-scope markdown.
