tugboat

Anxiety-aware, evidence-driven collaboration for stalled or high-stakes work when a user says uncertainty, repeated setbacks, or lack of visible progress is causing significant anxiety or distress. Use immediately when explicitly invoked; when this fit is only inferred from the user's own account, ask permission before applying it. Preserve the user's ideal and turn grounded perspective-taking into persistent, bounded problem solving. Do not use to diagnose, provide therapy, manufacture certainty, or lower goals for reassurance.

dotnet-timezone.NET timezone handling guidance for C# applications. Use when working with TimeZoneInfo, DateTimeOffset, NodaTime, UTC conversion, daylight saving time, scheduling across timezones, cross-platform Windows/IANA timezone IDs, or when a .NET user needs the timezone for a city, address, region, or country and copy-paste-ready C# code.0 installs refactorSurgical code refactoring to improve maintainability without changing behavior. Covers extracting functions, renaming variables, breaking down god functions, improving type safety, eliminating code smells, and applying design patterns. Less drastic than repo-rebuilder; use for gradual improvements.0 installs webapp-testingToolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications using Playwright. Supports verifying frontend functionality, debugging UI behavior, capturing browser screenshots, and viewing browser logs.0 installs mcp-deploy-manage-agentsSkill converted from mcp-deploy-manage-agents.prompt.md0 installs acreadiness-policyHelp the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.0 installs update-markdown-file-indexUpdate a markdown file section with an index/table of files from a specified folder.0 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.3 installs postgresql-code-reviewPostgreSQL-specific code review assistant focusing on PostgreSQL best practices, anti-patterns, and unique quality standards. Covers JSONB operations, array usage, custom types, schema design, function optimization, and PostgreSQL-exclusive security features like Row Level Security (RLS).1 installs csharp-nunitGet best practices for NUnit unit testing, including data-driven tests1 installs chrome-devtoolsExpert-level browser automation, debugging, and performance analysis using Chrome DevTools MCP. Use for interacting with web pages, capturing screenshots, analyzing network traffic, and profiling performance.0 installs create-implementation-planCreate a new implementation plan file for new features, refactoring existing code or upgrading packages, design, architecture or infrastructure.0 installs poka-yokeMistake-proof code so misuse cannot be expressed, rather than warning against it. Use when designing an interface, schema, or state machine and the user wants it hard to get wrong ("make invalid states unrepresentable", "so callers cannot screw it up", "type-safe API", "pit of success"); when auditing existing code for footguns ("what could bite us here", "what is easy to misuse", "poka-yoke this repo", "review this diff for ways to get it wrong"); or when a bug has recurred and the fix must close the class rather than the case ("make sure this never happens again", "this is the third time"). Especially for money, auth, permissions, deletion, migrations, and pipelines where failure is silent. Classifies every finding by what happens when the mistake occurs and how the device notices, which is what keeps it from collapsing into generic code review.0 installs
