When to use
Use this skill when creating or updating AGENTS.md for a repository.
Use it especially when:
- the current
AGENTS.mdis long, generic, or stale - agents repeatedly make the same avoidable mistakes
- repository workflows changed and agent guidance needs pruning
Instructions
Treat AGENTS.md as a living list of non-discoverable landmines and workflow gotchas, not a codebase overview.
Core rule: discoverability filter
Before adding any line, ask:
Can an agent discover this by reading the repo (
README, code, config, scripts, directory tree)?

node
Provides domain-specific best practices for Node.js development with TypeScript, covering type stripping, async patterns, error handling, streams, modules, testing, performance, caching, logging, and more. Use when setting up Node.js projects with native TypeScript support, configuring type stripping (--experimental-strip-types), writing Node 22+ TypeScript without a build step, or when the user mentions 'native TypeScript in Node', 'strip types', 'Node 22 TypeScript', '.ts files without compilation', 'ts-node alternative', or needs guidance on error handling, graceful shutdown, flaky tests, profiling, or environment configuration in Node.js. Helps configure tsconfig.json for type stripping, set up package.json scripts, handle module resolution and import extensions, and apply robust patterns across the full Node.js stack.
2.0Kfastify-best-practices
Guides development of Fastify Node.js backend servers and REST APIs using TypeScript or JavaScript. Use when building, configuring, or debugging a Fastify application — including defining routes, implementing plugins, setting up JSON Schema validation, handling errors, optimising performance, managing authentication, configuring CORS and security headers, integrating databases, working with WebSockets, and deploying to production. Covers the full Fastify request lifecycle (hooks, serialization, logging with Pino) and TypeScript integration via strip types. Trigger terms: Fastify, Node.js server, REST API, API routes, backend framework, fastify.config, server.ts, app.ts.
2.0Ktypescript-magician
Designs complex generic types, refactors `any` types to strict alternatives, creates type guards and utility types, and resolves TypeScript compiler errors. Use when the user asks about TypeScript (TS) types, generics, type inference, type guards, removing `any` types, strict typing, type errors, `infer`, `extends`, conditional types, mapped types, template literal types, branded/opaque types, or utility types like `Partial`, `Record`, `ReturnType`, and `Awaited`.
1.3Knodejs-core
Debugs native module crashes, optimizes V8 performance, configures node-gyp builds, writes N-API/node-addon-api bindings, and diagnoses libuv event loop issues in Node.js. Use when working with C++ addons, native modules, binding.gyp, node-gyp errors, segfaults, memory leaks in native code, V8 optimization/deoptimization, libuv thread pool tuning, N-API or NAN bindings, build system failures, or any Node.js internals below the JavaScript layer.
814documentation
Creates, structures, and reviews technical documentation following the Diátaxis framework (tutorials, how-to guides, reference, and explanation pages). Use when a user needs to write or reorganize docs, structure a tutorial vs. a how-to guide, build reference docs or API documentation, create explanation pages, choose between Diátaxis documentation types, or improve existing documentation structure. Trigger terms include: documentation structure, Diátaxis, tutorials vs how-to guides, organize docs, user guide, reference docs, technical writing.
803octocat
Use this skill whenever the prompt contains any `github.com` URL, even if the user only pastes a link and gives no GitHub-specific keywords. Handles git and GitHub operations using the gh CLI. Triggers include any GitHub link to an issue, pull request, commit, compare page, Actions run, release, discussion, or repository. Covers creating and reviewing PRs, watching CI checks, interactive rebasing, branch cleanup, submodule management, and repository archaeology with git log/blame/bisect.
