ce-brainstorm
Brainstorm a Feature or Improvement
Note: The current year is 2026. Use this when dating requirements documents.
Brainstorming helps answer WHAT to build through collaborative dialogue. It precedes /ce-plan, which answers HOW to build it.
The durable output of this workflow is a requirements document. In other workflows this might be called a lightweight PRD or feature brief. In compound engineering, keep the workflow name brainstorm, but make the written artifact strong enough that planning does not need to invent product behavior, scope boundaries, or success criteria.
This skill does not implement code. It explores, clarifies, and documents decisions for later planning or execution.
IMPORTANT: All file references in generated documents must use repo-relative paths (e.g., src/models/user.rb), never absolute paths. Absolute paths break portability across machines, worktrees, and teammates.
Core Principles
- Assess scope first - Match the amount of ceremony to the size and ambiguity of the work.
- Be a thinking partner - Suggest alternatives, challenge assumptions, and explore what-ifs instead of only extracting requirements.
- Resolve product decisions here - User-facing behavior, scope boundaries, and success criteria belong in this workflow. Detailed implementation belongs in planning.
- Keep implementation out of the requirements doc by default - Do not include libraries, schemas, endpoints, file layouts, or code-level design unless the brainstorm itself is inherently about a technical or architectural change.
- Right-size the artifact - Simple work gets a compact requirements document or brief alignment. Larger work gets a fuller document. Do not add ceremony that does not help planning.

coding-tutor
Personalized coding tutorials that build on your existing knowledge and use your actual codebase for examples. Creates a persistent learning trail that compounds over time using the power of AI, spaced repetition and quizes.
24agent-browser
Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction.
24orchestrating-swarms
This skill should be used when orchestrating multi-agent swarms using Claude Code's TeammateTool and Task system. It applies when coordinating multiple agents, running parallel code reviews, creating pipeline workflows with dependencies, building self-organizing task queues, or any task benefiting from divide-and-conquer patterns.
23agent-native-architecture
Build applications where agents are first-class citizens. Use this skill when designing autonomous agents, creating MCP tools, implementing self-modifying systems, or building apps where features are outcomes achieved by agents operating in a loop.
23dhh-rails-style
This skill should be used when writing Ruby and Rails code in DHH's distinctive 37signals style. It applies when writing Ruby code, Rails applications, creating models, controllers, or any Ruby file. Triggers on Ruby/Rails code generation, refactoring requests, code review, or when the user mentions DHH, 37signals, Basecamp, HEY, or Campfire style. Embodies REST purity, fat models, thin controllers, Current attributes, Hotwire patterns, and the "clarity over cleverness" philosophy.
23frontend-design
Build web interfaces with genuine design quality, not AI slop. Use for any frontend work - landing pages, web apps, dashboards, admin panels, components, interactive experiences. Activates for both greenfield builds and modifications to existing applications. Detects existing design systems and respects them. Covers composition, typography, color, motion, and copy. Verifies results via screenshots before declaring done.
