Ask Questions If Underspecified
When to Use
Use this skill when a request has multiple plausible interpretations or key details (objective, scope, constraints, environment, or safety) are unclear.
When NOT to Use
Do not use this skill when the request is already clear, or when a quick, low-risk discovery read can answer the missing details.
Goal
Ask the minimum set of clarifying questions needed to avoid wrong work; do not start implementing until the must-have questions are answered (or the user explicitly approves proceeding with stated assumptions).
Workflow
1) Decide whether the request is underspecified

accelint-nextjs-best-practices
Next.js performance optimization and best practices. Use when writing Next.js code (App Router or Pages Router); implementing Server Components, Server Actions, or API routes; optimizing RSC serialization, data fetching, or server-side rendering; reviewing Next.js code for performance issues; fixing authentication in Server Actions; or implementing Suspense boundaries, parallel data fetching, or request deduplication.
221accelint-ts-testing
Comprehensive vitest testing guidance for TypeScript projects. Use when (1) Writing new tests with AAA pattern, parameterized tests, or async/await, (2) Reviewing test code for anti-patterns like loose assertions (toBeTruthy), over-mocking, or nested describe blocks, (3) Optimizing slow test suites, (4) Implementing property-based testing with fast-check - especially for encode/decode pairs, roundtrip properties, validators, normalizers, and idempotence checks. Covers test organization, assertions, test doubles hierarchy (fakes/stubs/mocks), async testing, performance patterns, and property-based testing patterns. Trigger keywords on vitest, *.test.ts, describe, it, expect, vi.mock, fast-check, fc.property, roundtrip, idempotence.
213accelint-react-best-practices
React performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.
183accelint-ts-performance
Systematic JavaScript/TypeScript performance audit and optimization using V8 profiling and runtime patterns. Use when (1) Users say 'optimize performance', 'audit performance', 'this is slow', 'reduce allocations', 'improve speed', 'check performance', (2) Analyzing code for performance anti-patterns (O(n²) complexity, excessive allocations, I/O blocking, template literal waste), (3) Optimizing functions regardless of current usage context - utilities, formatters, parsers are often called in hot paths even when they appear simple, (4) Fixing V8 deoptimization (monomorphic/polymorphic issues, inline caching). Audits ALL code for anti-patterns and reports findings with expected gains. Covers loops, caching, batching, memory locality, algorithmic complexity fixes with ❌/✅ patterns.
173accelint-ts-best-practices
Comprehensive TypeScript/JavaScript coding standards focusing on type safety, defensive programming, and code correctness. Use when (1) Writing or reviewing TS/JS code, (2) Fixing type errors or avoiding any/enum/null, (3) Implementing control flow, state management, or error handling, (4) Applying zero-value pattern or immutability, (5) Code review for TypeScript anti-patterns. Covers naming conventions, function design, return values, bounded iteration, input validation. For performance optimization, use accelint-ts-performance skill. For documentation, use accelint-ts-documentation skill.
166accelint-readme-writer
Use when creating or editing a README.md file in any project or package. Recursively parses codebase from README location, suggests changes based on missing or changed functionality, and generates thorough, human-sounding documentation with copy-pasteable code blocks and practical examples.
