Vaultr Recap
by skoowoo

Reviews content against the Vaultr knowledge base (_knowledge/) and surfaces what's related and what's in tension. Covers two scenarios: (1) associative recap — cross-check a single short note, daily note, draft, or pasted text against the knowledge base right now, while the thought is fresh; (2) periodic review — recap everything created or updated over a recent window (e.g. the past week). Trigger on phrases like 'recap this', 'what do I already know that relates to this', 'does this conflict with anything I've written', 'weekly review', 'review this week's notes', '联想', '回顾一下', '和我的知识库对照一下', '有没有矛盾的观点', '实时联想', '本周回顾', '周回顾', or any request to recall related or conflicting knowledge, either for a piece of writing or for a recent time window.

Adr Writing
by existential-birds

Use when writing or formatting an ADR document using the MADR template, applying Definition of Done (E.C.A.D.R.) criteria, or verifying ADR completeness. Triggers on \"write the ADR\", \"format as MADR\", \"check ADR quality\", \"mark gaps in ADR\". Also triggers when a decision has been extracted and needs to become a document. Does NOT extract decisions from conversations (use adr-decision-extraction) or orchestrate the full extract-confirm-write workflow (use write-adr).

Artifact Analysis
by existential-birds

Use when the user wants a cited, structured read of local documents and project knowledge. Triggers on: \"analyze these docs\", \"scan my project for context\", \"read the docs folder\", \"summarize what's in .beagle/concepts/\", \"extract context from docs/\", \"what's in this folder\", \"go read everything in X and tell me what's there\". Also invoked programmatically by other beagle skills (prfaq-beagle Ignition, brainstorm-beagle reference points, strategy-interview context grounding) via the companion contract. Does NOT trigger on codebase lookups (\"find this function\", \"search the repo\"), web research (use web-research), LLM-as-judge evaluation (use llm-judge), or document editing (use humanize-beagle). Produces a written scan plan, parallel-subagent findings, and a cited synthesis report on disk — never inline prose, never unsourced claims.

Dx Audit
by mblode

Audits the smallest relevant developer-facing surface of a library, CLI, SDK, or npm package across API contracts, errors, CLI behavior, public types, onboarding, and config. Uses candidate-first rule loading, bounded local evidence, and compact root-cause findings. Use when asked to "audit my CLI", "make this CLI agent-friendly", "is this API ergonomic", "review the developer experience", "improve these errors", "simplify first run", or "review my SDK". For end-user UI use ui-audit, for agentic-app trust use ax-audit, for docs prose use docs-writing, for README work use readme-creator, and for repo architecture use define-architecture. Inside a product that also ships a UI, this is the skill for the developer-facing half, so pick it when the complaint is about an import, command, error string, exported type, or config rather than a screen.

Magpie Newcomer Issue Explainer
by apache

| Given an open good-first-issue on the configured `<upstream>` repo, files to read first, what "done" looks like, and where to ask follow-up questions — without writing any code or fix. First runs an issue assessment to confirm the issue is open, non-security, and scope-clear. Then drafts the explanation for maintainer review. Read-only; nothing is posted without explicit maintainer confirmation.
