Tools

Comprehensive PDF manipulation toolkit for extracting text and tables, creating new PDFs, merging/splitting documents, and handling forms. When Claude needs to fill in a PDF form or programmatically process, generate, or analyze PDF documents at scale.

Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

This enhanced skill should be used when the user asks to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or needs advanced agent creation capabilities. Activates with phrases like every day, daily I have to, I need to repeat, create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, need to automate, turn process into agent. Supports single agents, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, and interactive configuration. Claude will use the enhanced protocol to research APIs, define analyses, structure everything, implement functional code, and create complete skills autonomously with optional user guidance.

Analyzes and safely cleans up local Git branches. Categorizes branches by merge status, staleness, and remote tracking. Provides interactive selection with safety guards. Use when the user wants to clean up branches, delete old branches, organize Git branches, or asks about which branches can be safely deleted.

Evaluates agent skills against Anthropic's best practices. Use when asked to review, evaluate, assess, or audit a skill for quality. Analyzes SKILL.md structure, naming conventions, description quality, content organization, and identifies anti-patterns. Produces actionable improvement recommendations.

Expert at evolving Pydantic configuration schemas with backward compatibility and automated migrations

Test-Driven Development patterns for testing AI deliberation features. Use when adding new deliberation features, adapters, convergence detection, or decision graph components. Encodes TDD workflow: write test first → implement → verify.

Guide for creating new CLI or HTTP adapters to integrate AI models into the AI Counsel deliberation system

Guide for safely adding new MCP tools to the AI Counsel server

Use when partner provides a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints - loads plan, reviews critically, executes tasks in batches, reports for review between batches

Semantic file discovery via `vexor`. Use whenever locating where something is implemented/loaded/defined in a medium or large repo, or when the file location is unclear. Prefer this over manual browsing.

Generate project-specific workflow commands (research, plan, implement, qa) by asking questions about the project and creating customized commands

Use when user asks 'how should I...' or 'what's the best approach...' after exploring code, OR when you've tried to solve something and are stuck, OR for unfamiliar workflows, OR when user references past work. Searches conversation history.

This skill should be used when establishing comprehensive QA testing processes for any software project. Use when creating test strategies, writing test cases following Google Testing Standards, executing test plans, tracking bugs with P0-P4 classification, calculating quality metrics, or generating progress reports. Includes autonomous execution capability via master prompts and complete documentation templates for third-party QA team handoffs. Implements OWASP security testing and achieves 90% coverage targets.

Converts documents to markdown (PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoint, Confluence exports) with Windows/WSL path handling. Activates when converting .doc/.docx/PDF/PPTX files to markdown, processing Confluence exports, handling Windows/WSL path conversions, extracting images from PDFs, or working with markitdown utility.

Transform vague prompts into precise, well-structured specifications using EARS (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax) methodology. This skill should be used when users provide loose requirements, ambiguous feature descriptions, or need to enhance prompts for AI-generated code, products, or documents. Triggers include requests to "optimize my prompt", "improve this requirement", "make this more specific", or when raw requirements lack detail and structure.

Provides comprehensive GitHub operations using gh CLI and GitHub API. Activates when working with pull requests, issues, repositories, workflows, or GitHub API operations including creating/viewing/merging PRs, managing issues, querying API endpoints, and handling GitHub workflows in enterprise or public GitHub environments.

Configures and customizes Claude Code statuslines with multi-line layouts, cost tracking via ccusage, git status indicators, and customizable colors. Activates for statusline setup, installation, configuration, customization, color changes, cost display, git status integration, or troubleshooting statusline issues.

Download YouTube videos and HLS streams (m3u8) from platforms like Mux, Vimeo, etc. using yt-dlp and ffmpeg. Use this skill when users request downloading videos, extracting audio, handling protected streams with authentication headers, or troubleshooting download issues like nsig extraction failures, 403 errors, or cookie extraction problems.

This skill should be used when users want to create animated CLI demos, terminal recordings, or command-line demonstration GIFs. It supports both manual tape file creation and automated demo generation from command descriptions. Use when users mention creating demos, recording terminal sessions, or generating animated GIFs of CLI workflows.
