Pipeline design, deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling), and CI/CD platform patterns. Use when designing pipelines, implementing deployments, configuring quality gates, or setting up automated release workflows. Covers GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and platform-agnostic patterns.
Create and validate implementation plans (PLAN). Use when planning implementation phases, defining tasks, sequencing work, analyzing dependencies, or working on implementation-plan.md files in docs/specs/. Includes TDD phase structure and specification compliance gates.
Build, archive, and prepare iOS app for TestFlight/App Store. Handles version bumping, build number configuration, Xcode archiving, and upload. Use when preparing a new iOS release for TestFlight beta testing or App Store submission.
Apply the Holistic Testing Model evolved with PACT (Proactive, Autonomous, Collaborative, Targeted) principles. Use when designing comprehensive test strategies for Classical, AI-assisted, Agent based, or Agentic Systems building quality into the team, or implementing whole-team quality practices.
AI agents as force multipliers for quality work. Core skill for all 19 QE agents using PACT principles.
Apply Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats methodology to software testing for comprehensive quality analysis. Use when designing test strategies, conducting test retrospectives, analyzing test failures, evaluating testing approaches, or facilitating testing discussions. Each hat provides a distinct testing perspective: facts (White), risks (Black), benefits (Yellow), creativity (Green), emotions (Red), and process (Blue).
Create GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines for .NET applications
Deploy and test dspy-cli on Fly.io using local changes via temp git branch. Full integration testing with guaranteed cleanup. (project)
This skill should be used when deploying a Docusaurus site to GitHub Pages. It automates the configuration, building, and deployment process, handling GitHub Pages setup, environment configuration, and CI/CD automation. Includes local validation before GitHub Actions triggering.
Deploy the application using deployment scripts and templates
Docker builds, Memory tuning, and Graceful shutdown.
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
Enforces TDD order in TASKS.md - Tests MUST be marked complete before Implementation tasks. Blocks violations in real-time.
Set up and maintain continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar tools to automate testing, building, and deployment. Use when configuring automated builds, setting up test automation, implementing deployment automation, creating release workflows, managing environment deployments, configuring build caching, implementing blue-green deployments, setting up rollback strategies, or automating the entire software delivery pipeline.
Reviews optimization patches for lading using a 5-persona peer review system. Requires unanimous approval backed by benchmarks. Bugs discovered during review are valuable - invoke /lading-optimize-validate to validate them.
Environment validation checklist. Run this FIRST when starting a new Claude session to verify the environment is ready for optimization work. Checks Rust toolchain, ci/ scripts, hyperfine, profilers, payloadtool, git, and database access.
Use this skill when documenting significant architectural decisions. Provides ADR templates following the Nygard format with sections for context, decision, consequences, and alternatives. Helps teams maintain architectural memory and rationale for backend systems, API designs, database choices, and infrastructure decisions.
Iterative UI/UX polishing workflow for web applications. The exact prompt and methodology for achieving Stripe-level visual polish through multiple passes.
Structured implementation planning for multi-step development tasks. Use when you have a spec or requirements and need to break work into executable steps.
Comprehensive PR review with multi-agent swarm specialization for security, performance, style, tests, and documentation
Pre-deployment validation checklist and automated readiness assessment.
This skill provides knowledge for generating effective Claude Code agents tailored to specific projects. It is used internally by the agent-team-creator plugin when analyzing codebases and creating specialized agent teams. Contains templates, best practices, and patterns for writing project-aware agents.
