Rootnode Critic Gate Skill for Claude

>- Independent re-derivation gate for proposed changes during autonomous execution. Evaluates a change (code diff, config edit, engine evolution, schema change) against the work's authority matrix and a 4-check narrowness, and regression risk. Returns structured JSON with pass/fail per check, an overall verdict (APPROVE / REQUEST_CHANGES / REJECT), and blockers. Profile-driven thresholds (strict for unattended runs, lenient for desk supervision). Use when an autonomous agent proposes an engine change, when reviewing a Claude Code-authored modification before merge, or when an unattended profile requires independent re-derivation. "is this change safe," "is this safe to merge," "should I let this land," "run the critic." Do NOT use for handoff-readiness checks (use rootnode-handoff-trigger-check), general code review, or design-time correctness. Authority matrix required.

Gemini

by softaworks

×2

Use when the user asks to run Gemini CLI for code review, plan review, or big context (>200k) processing. Ideal for comprehensive analysis requiring large context windows. Uses Gemini 3 Pro by default for state-of-the-art reasoning and coding.

Claude Skills meta-skill: extract domain material (docs/APIs/code/specs) into a reusable Skill (SKILL.md + references/scripts/assets), and refactor existing Skills for clarity, activation reliability, and quality gates.

Backend Atomic Commit

by ComeOnOliver

×1

> Pedantic backend pre-commit and atomic commit Skill for Django/Optimo-style repos. Enforces local AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md, pre-commit hooks, .security/* helpers, and Monty’s backend engineering taste – with no AI signatures in commit messages.

Automatically backs up files, saves diffs, uses agents/skills, and ensures modular code (<200 lines) before any implementation. Use this skill for ALL code changes to ensure safe, reversible, and clean implementations.

Use when you've developed a broadly useful skill and want to contribute it upstream via pull request - guides process of branching, committing, pushing, and creating PR to contribute skills back to upstream repository

Review Agent Setup

by wshobson

Configure human-in-the-loop gating for AI agent review actions in Claude Code. Use when setting up a project where an agent may post PR reviews, comments, merges, or edit CI configuration, and you want a cryptographically auditable approval trail with Cedar-enforced gates.

> Check installed community skills for updates. Shows a diff and requires explicit approval before applying. Use when the user says "check for updates", "update my skills", "anything new for my installed skills", or when invoked from the registry-sync agent.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take drayline/rootnode-critic-gate from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
