ux-researcher-designer
UX research and design toolkit for Senior UX Designer/Researcher including data-driven persona generation, journey mapping, usability testing frameworks, and research synthesis. Use for user research, persona creation, journey mapping, and design validation.
general
General-purpose agent for researching complex questions, searching for code, and executing multi-step tasks. Use when you need to perform comprehensive searches across codebase, find files that are not obvious in first few searches, or execute multi-step tasks requiring multiple tools and approaches.
devspeculate
Always use this skill to provide context on the codebase. Automatically initializes and references the Speculate documentation framework (coding rules, shortcuts, templates, and project specs) to ensure agents understand project structure, development workflows, and coding standards. Use for every task to maintain context and code quality.
python-plotting
Comprehensive plotting and visualization in Python - matplotlib (static publication-quality plots), seaborn (statistical visualization), and plotly (interactive plots); includes plot types, customization, best practices, and library selection guidance
plan-protocol
Guidelines for creating and managing implementation plans with citations
infrastructure-cost-estimation
Help you discover how much you spend on AWS/GCP/Azure. This rulebook guides practitioners through proper cloud cost calculations, systematic resource discovery (via IaC analysis and live environment enumeration), authoritative pricing research and analysis/estimation.
notion-meeting-intelligence
Prepare meeting materials with Notion context and Codex research; use when gathering context, drafting agendas/pre-reads, and tailoring materials to attendees.
domain-research
MCP-powered domain research for requirements elicitation. Uses perplexity, context7, firecrawl, and other MCP servers to research domain knowledge, best practices, and industry requirements.
perplexity-researcher-pro
Complex research requiring deeper analysis, multi-step reasoning, and sophisticated source evaluation for technical, academic, or specialized domain queries needing expert-level analysis, high-stakes decisions, or multi-layered problem solving.
sequential-thinking
Structured reasoning tools for complex problem analysis with observation, hypothesis, analysis, and conclusion steps. Use when analyzing complex problems, debugging difficult issues, or making important decisions.
paper-to-code
Implement AI/ML research papers from scratch when no official code exists. Use when the user wants to reproduce a paper, implement an algorithm from a PDF, build a model architecture from a research paper, or create working code from academic publications. Handles papers from arXiv, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, and other venues. Produces UV-managed, GPU-ready Python projects with tests, demos, and documentation.
context7
Search GitHub issues, pull requests, and discussions across any repository. Activates when researching external dependencies (whisper.cpp, NAudio), looking for similar bugs, or finding implementation examples.
deep-research
Create educational documents that build understanding progressively with citations
programming-swift
The complete Swift Programming Language book by Apple, covering syntax, features, concurrency, and the formal language reference.
swiftui-components
SwiftUI UI component catalog. Use when implementing NavigationStack, Swift Charts, PhotosPicker, TipKit, ScrollView enhancements, animations, layouts, WebView, Liquid Glass and other UI components. Organized by feature category with OS version compatibility info. Reference for discovering available components and implementation patterns.
jtbd-psychographic-research
Provides Jobs-to-be-Done and psychographic research frameworks for brand identity work. Auto-activates during brand positioning, voice development, messaging, and strategy phases. Use when discussing target audience, customer research, JTBD, jobs to be done, four forces, push pull anxiety habit, emotional jobs, social jobs, functional jobs, limbic types, VALS segments, psychographics, or customer motivations.
validation
This skill should be used when validating whether a specific word or phrase is appropriate, commonly used, and correct in academic technical contexts. Use for checking terminology in research papers targeting top-tier computer science conferences.
k-docs
Index of Mechanic documentation with summaries and links. Load this to understand what documentation exists and where to find detailed information on specific topics. Triggers: docs, documentation, reference, guide, help.
add-paper
Add a research paper to the maxpool research-papers collection. Use when the user provides an ArXiv URL, PDF link, or asks to add/summarize a research paper for the website. Handles paper fetching, insight extraction, HTML generation, and index updates.
