lean-comments

Audits, writes, and refines maintained first-party source-code comments and declaration-level documentation across languages. Use when adding, editing, reviewing, cleaning up, or auditing comments, doc comments, docstrings, TODO, FIXME, NOTE, suppressions, or other source commentary, including while modifying code and deciding whether a comment is warranted at all. Defaults to no comment unless it preserves meaningful, non-obvious information that cannot reasonably be recovered from the code or nearby repository context.

breakdown-feature-prdPrompt for creating Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) for new features, based on an Epic.2 installs refactor-planCreate a concrete plan before starting a multi-file refactor. Use when the user asks to plan, sequence, scope, or safely execute a refactor across multiple files; always investigate first, output the plan, and wait for confirmation before making code changes.1 installs sql-code-reviewUniversal SQL code review assistant that performs comprehensive security, maintainability, and code quality analysis across all SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle). Focuses on SQL injection prevention, access control, code standards, and anti-pattern detection. Complements SQL optimization prompt for complete development coverage.1 installs protobuf-grpc-api-reviewReview Protocol Buffer (.proto) and gRPC API changes for wire and JSON compatibility, safe schema evolution, rollout hazards, and RPC contract quality. Use when reviewing proto diffs, adding or changing messages and services, planning migrations, or diagnosing cross-version failures.1 installs git-commitExecute git commit with conventional commit message analysis, intelligent staging, and message generation. Use when user asks to commit changes, create a git commit, or mentions "/commit". Supports: (1) Auto-detecting type and scope from changes, (2) Generating conventional commit messages from diff, (3) Interactive commit with optional type/scope/description overrides, (4) Intelligent file staging for logical grouping1 installs react-audit-grep-patternsProvides the complete, verified grep scan command library for auditing React codebases before a React 18.3.1 or React 19 upgrade. Use this skill whenever running a migration audit - for both the react18-auditor and react19-auditor agents. Contains every grep pattern needed to find deprecated APIs, removed APIs, unsafe lifecycle methods, batching vulnerabilities, test file issues, dependency conflicts, and React 19 specific removals. Always use this skill when writing audit scan commands - do not rely on memory for grep syntax, especially for the multi-line async setState patterns which require context flags.1 installs

convert-word-to-mdConverts Word (.docx) documents into Markdown so their contents can be accurately analyzed, summarized, searched, or extracted from. Use this skill whenever the user shares, references, or asks about a .docx file — even if they don't say "convert" or "markdown" explicitly. This includes requests to "read", "summarize", "review", "extract data from", "compare", or "analyze" a Word document, resume, report, contract, or proposal. Always run the bundled conversion script to produce Markdown first; do not attempt to parse .docx content directly or write ad-hoc conversion code. Also use this skill for batch requests involving a whole folder of Word documents. IMPORTANT: When the user references a folder or set of documents containing multiple file types (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx), invoke ALL three sibling skills — convert-pdf-to-md, convert-word-to-md, and convert-excel-to-md — so no file type is silently skipped.5 installs codebase-memory-mcpUse when exploring unfamiliar code, mapping architecture, finding symbols or relationships, tracing callers, callees, data flow or dependencies, assessing impact, auditing dead or complex code, or handling explicit Codebase Memory requests. Otherwise skip tasks confined to a supplied known file, tiny one-file check, exact literal, configuration value, error string, or non-code text.4 installs prompt-optimizerTurn any rough prompt, half-formed idea, or task description into a finished, ready-to-send prompt optimized for any LLM model inside a chat interface — NOT the API. Use this skill whenever the user wants to write, rewrite, optimize, improve, sharpen, or polish a prompt for chat. Trigger phrases include "rewrite this prompt", "make this a better prompt", "optimize this prompt", "turn this into a prompt", "help me prompt this", "draft a prompt that...", "I want to ask...", or whenever the user pastes a draft prompt and asks for improvements. Also trigger when the user describes a task they plan to send to an LLM model and clearly wants a reusable, well-structured prompt rather than a direct answer. The output is always a single, copy-pasteable prompt in a code block that the user sends as-is — never a template with placeholders.3 installs freecad-scriptsExpert skill for writing FreeCAD Python scripts, macros, and automation. Use when asked to create FreeCAD models, parametric objects, Part/Mesh/Sketcher scripts, workbench tools, GUI dialogs with PySide, Coin3D scenegraph manipulation, or any FreeCAD Python API task. Covers FreeCAD scripting basics, geometry creation, FeaturePython objects, interface tools, and macro development.3 installs draw-io-diagram-generatorUse when creating, editing, or generating draw.io diagram files (.drawio, .drawio.svg, .drawio.png). Covers mxGraph XML authoring, shape libraries, style strings, flowcharts, system architecture, sequence diagrams, ER diagrams, UML class diagrams, network topology, layout strategy, the hediet.vscode-drawio VS Code extension, and the full agent workflow from request to a ready-to-open file.2 installs game-engineExpert skill for building web-based game engines and games using HTML5, Canvas, WebGL, and JavaScript. Use when asked to create games, build game engines, implement game physics, handle collision detection, set up game loops, manage sprites, add game controls, or work with 2D/3D rendering. Covers techniques for platformers, breakout-style games, maze games, tilemaps, audio, multiplayer via WebRTC, and publishing games.2 installs
