octocode-news
What's New — Tech Research Agent
Goal: Lock scope, sweep RSS + cataloged sources in parallel, research gaps, assemble a validated JSON report and an HTML report, then open the HTML in the default browser.
Quick Input
Use defaults silently when the user did not provide a value. Only ask if the request is genuinely ambiguous.
- Domains: A=AI, B=DevTools, C=Web/JS, D=Security, E=Repos. Default: all
- Window:
24h/7d/14d/30d. Default:7d - Depth:
brief/deep/comprehensive. Default:deep
Non-Negotiables
- Run both discovery scripts before manual browsing.
- Treat
references/sources.mdas the baseline catalog, not a suggestion. - Use official/product/project sources first; secondary sources validate or widen coverage.
- Read the full canonical page before writing a kept item summary. RSS snippets are discovery-only.
- When a source is a daily digest hub, open the dated daily post for the reporting window rather than summarizing the landing page.

octocode-research
Use when the user asks to "research code", "how does X work", "where is Y defined", "who calls Z", "trace code flow", "find usages", "explore this library", "understand the codebase", or needs deep code exploration with HTTP-based tool orchestration. For direct MCP tool research without the HTTP server, use octocode-researcher instead.
197octocode-prompt-optimizer
This skill should be used when the user asks to "optimize this prompt", "improve this SKILL.md", "make this prompt more reliable", "fix my agent instructions", "review this AGENTS.md", "strengthen this prompt", "my agent keeps skipping steps", "add enforcement to instructions", or needs to transform weak prompts into reliable, enforceable agent protocols. Uses a 6-step gated flow (with Fast/Full modes), command strengthening, gate injection, and failure mode analysis.
56octocode-documentation-writer
This skill should be used when the user asks to "generate documentation", "document this project", "create docs", "write documentation", "update documentation", "document all APIs", "generate onboarding docs", "create developer docs", or needs comprehensive codebase documentation. Orchestrates parallel AI agents to analyze code and produce documentation files.
54octocode-pull-request-reviewer
This skill should be used when the user asks to "review a PR", "review pull request", "PR review", "check this PR", "analyze PR changes", "review PR #123", "what''s wrong with this PR", "is this PR safe to merge", "review my changes", "review local changes", "review my code", "review staged changes", "review my diff", or needs expert code review with architectural analysis, defect detection, and security scanning. Supports both remote PRs and local changes (staged/unstaged). Uses Octocode MCP tools for deep code forensics and holistic evaluation.
53octocode-roast
This skill should be used when the user asks to "roast my code", "review code brutally", "find code sins", "what's wrong with my code", "shame my code", "critique this code", "find antipatterns", "code quality roast", or wants entertaining but actionable code criticism with severity-ranked fixes. Delivers brutally honest roasts with file:line citations and redemption paths.
47octocode-plan
Use when the user asks to "plan & implement", "plan this work", "research & build", "plan auth/API/work", or needs a multi-step pipeline from understanding through implementation. Flow is Understand → Research → Plan → Implement → Verify. For design documents or technical proposals without implementation, use octocode-rfc-generator instead.
