core
Max - Your AI system core. AUTO-LOADS at session start. USE WHEN any session begins OR user asks about PAI identity, response format, stack preferences, security protocols, or delegation patterns.
python-conventions
Work on Python experiments in packages/python_viterbo. Use for layout conventions, stage entrypoints, lint/test commands, and asset/plot handling.
java-best-practices
Comprehensive Java development best practices covering SOLID principles, DRY, Clean Code, Java-specific patterns (Optional, immutability, streams, lambdas), exception handling, collections, concurrency, testing with JUnit 5 and Mockito, code organization, performance optimization, and common anti-patterns. Essential reference for uncle-duke-java agent during code reviews and architecture guidance.
canonical-format-checker
This skill should be used when content teaches patterns (skills, subagents, ADRs, PHRs, specifications) that have canonical sources elsewhere. Prevents format drift by ensuring content references and follows the authoritative format from canonical sources. Use before implementing lessons that teach platform patterns, or when reviewing content for format consistency.
scholarag
Build PRISMA 2020-compliant systematic literature review systems with RAG-powered analysis in VS Code. Use when researcher needs automated paper retrieval (Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, arXiv), AI-assisted PRISMA screening (50% or 90% threshold), vector database creation (ChromaDB), or research conversation interface. Supports knowledge_repository (comprehensive, 15K+ papers, teaching/exploration) and systematic_review (publication-quality, 50-300 papers, meta-analysis) modes. Conversation-first workflow with 7 stages.
enhancing-authors
Enhance author profiles by filling missing fields. Use when asked to "enhance author", "complete author profile", "find author info", or "update author details". Fills bio, avatar, website, and social links via parallel web research.
direct-response-copy-therapy
Write CRPO-compliant therapy copy that connects and converts without pressure tactics. Use when writing service pages, CTAs, hero sections, or any persuasive therapy content. Takes core direct-response principles and applies them to therapy context with 40% tone reduction. NO outcome guarantees, NO urgency tactics, NO testimonials. Maintains empathetic, professional tone while driving action through trust-building and value demonstration. References core direct-response-copy skill but filters all output through CRPO compliance lens.
skill-creation-guide
Complete comprehensive guide for creating, managing, and optimizing Claude Code Skills. Reference documentation covering structure, API usage, examples, best practices, and troubleshooting.
moai-foundation-core

discoveryproblem-framing
Frame the core customer problem, evidence, and success hypothesis before solutioning.
experiment-report-writer
Write structured experiment sections (methods + results + discussion) for NQS + SQD projects in this repository, based on contents of results/ and figures/.
literature-review
Conduct comprehensive, systematic literature reviews using multiple databases (PubMed, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex). Creates documented searches, synthesizes findings thematically, verifies citations, and generates professional markdown reports with multiple citation styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver). Use when the user needs thorough literature research or types /deep_research.
blog-insight-synthesizer
Synthesizes research findings into structured content outlines
docs-generator
Generate comprehensive codebase documentation using the Diátaxis framework. Creates tutorials (learning-oriented), how-to guides (problem-solving), reference docs (technical descriptions), and explanations (conceptual). Supports monorepos, multiple languages, and session persistence (resume anytime). Use when: (1) documenting a new codebase, (2) updating existing docs after code changes, (3) user mentions "generate docs", "document this code", "write documentation", (4) creating README, API docs, or user guides.
widget-tester
Expert assistant for testing the embeddable Bible widget functionality in the KR92 Bible Voice project. Use when creating widget tests, validating embed API responses, testing reference formats, checking audio integration, or creating regression test cases.
