Generate PDF documents programmatically with precise layout control using ReportLab. Use when creating PDF reports with custom layouts, generating invoices, producing PDF forms, or building PDFs with charts and tables without LaTeX.

Enter planning mode to research and analyze before implementation. Use when user wants to plan a feature, evaluate a technical approach, explore architectural decisions, or think through implementation before coding. Triggers on "plan", "think through", "analyze", "evaluate approach", "design decision", "before we implement", "let's research", or when proposing significant changes.

Generate LaTeX documents and compile them to PDF for publication-quality reports. Use when creating academic papers, scientific reports, mathematical documents, or professionally typeset PDF reports with equations and references.

Chapter-by-chapter outline generator for stories planned with the Crucible Structure. Use when a user has completed Crucible planning documents (thesis, strand maps, forge points, etc.) and wants to create detailed chapter outlines. Triggers on requests like "outline my book," "create chapter outline," "outline Book 1," "turn my Crucible plan into chapters," or when user has Crucible planning docs and wants to start writing. Works for single books or multi-book series.

Professional investment analysis skill for stock market analysis. Provides 7 core capabilities: (1) Daily market overview, (2) Stock fundamental analysis, (3) Technical chart analysis, (4) Strategy simulation, (5) Risk management, (6) Stock screening, (7) News impact analysis. Use when users need comprehensive stock analysis, investment research, portfolio management, or market analysis tasks.

Creates implementation plan documents by determining plan structure, sequencing development phases, and generating actionable tasks. Use when user wants to create an implementation plan, needs to sequence development work, determine when and in what order to build features, or create detailed task breakdowns with code examples. Follows established feature development process with clear phase sequencing, integrated development (code + validation + data), and selective detail strategy (full code for novel aspects, references for established patterns).

IMMEDIATELY load this skill if you read ANY file containing "taskagent" (PLAN.md, org/projects, docs, etc). Also load for multi-session work or when user mentions agent tasks. For simple single-session tasks without taskagent references, use TodoWrite instead.

Provides the complete content of 'The Swift Programming Language (6.2.3)' book by Apple. Use this skill when you need to verify Swift syntax, look up language features, understand concurrency, resolve compiler errors, or consult the formal language reference.

Reviews today's Todoist tasks for tools/articles to investigate. Researches each item via web search, generates structured markdown summaries, appends to Obsidian daily notes, and marks tasks complete. Use when user asks to review Todoist items, do daily review, or process investigation tasks.
