story-repo-scout
Story Repo Scout
Use a story card to find the repo files most likely to matter before implementation starts. Favor evidence, exact paths, and small output.
When To Use
- append repo context to a generated story card or implementation ticket
- find likely implementation, test, config, migration, or docs files before coding
- give a human or implementation agent a better starting point for a story
- run a lightweight repo scout when the model is smaller or context is limited
Not For
- drafting or clarifying the story itself; use
user-story-clarifier - implementing code after the relevant context is already clear
- broad architecture review, dependency mapping, or whole-repo documentation
- security review or threat modeling; use
security

project-vendor-boundary
Overlay for app-owned versus vendored dependency boundaries. Portable across repos that vendor third-party code. Use when work touches vendored dependencies or their integration seam.
19coding-guidance-cpp
C++ implementation and review skill. Use when writing, modifying, refactoring, or reviewing C++ code, especially modern C++17/20/23 code that needs strong ownership, type safety, and testable design. Portable across C++ repos and build systems.
18project-platform-diagnose
Overlay for environment-sensitive diagnosis — service startup, install issues, platform integration, headless/container behavior, and runtime smoke checks. Portable across repos where build, install, or runtime behavior depends on the local platform.
18documenter
Baseline overlay for substantial documentation authoring or restructuring: README, specs, ADRs, tutorials, how-to guides, reference docs, explanations, API docs, code comments, changelogs, and agent-facing docs. Use when the agent should classify doc type, ground claims in repo truth, and validate examples before finishing.
18security
Security workflow skill for repo-grounded threat modeling, exploit-focused security review, and secure-by-default implementation guidance. Use when the user explicitly asks for security work, or when security properties are the primary concern in a high-risk change. Do not trigger for ordinary code review, routine endpoint work, or general backend implementation just because a repo contains APIs, auth, or secrets.
18project-release-maintainer
Overlay for release-facing docs, install layout, workflows, licenses, and hygiene scripts. Portable across repos with a release/packaging pipeline. Use for publication-facing changes.
