Squirrel — Full-Cycle Software Development Skill

Overview

Squirrel is a full-cycle AI coding skill that works across 9 AI coding agents. It auto-detects project state (greenfield, in-progress, or mature) and adapts its 8-phase engineering pipeline accordingly. Instead of a one-size-fits-all workflow, it figures out where the project actually is and jumps in at exactly the right point.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when starting a new project from scratch (greenfield)
• Use when improving an existing codebase (in-progress or mature)
• Use when fixing bugs, adding features, or refactoring
• Use when adding tests, linting, or CI/CD to a project
• Use when writing production-grade documentation
• Use when the user says "build me", "fix this", "squirrel this project", or any multi-step development task
