Code Auditor performs a systematic examination of your entire codebase, evaluating architecture decisions, code quality patterns, security posture, performance characteristics, test coverage, and maintainability factors. It delivers prioritized findings with specific file references and actionable recommendations, supporting focused audits on security, performance, or testing alone.
Codebase Documenter analyzes your project structure and code to produce organized markdown documentation spanning architecture, components, integrations, and development practices. It maps directory organization, traces execution paths, and synthesizes findings into multiple documents or a single comprehensive guide with Mermaid diagrams and code examples.
File Operations retrieves detailed file metadata and statistics—including size, line counts, modification times, and content analysis—using read-only operations. Ideal for understanding file structure and gathering code metrics across projects.
test-fixing identifies all failing tests, groups them by error type and root cause, then fixes them in priority order. It handles infrastructure issues first (imports, dependencies), then API changes, then logic bugs. After each fix group passes, it moves to the next until the full suite succeeds.
This skill spawns three independent subagents to tackle problems from different angles—prioritizing simplicity, performance, or extensibility for code; top-down, bottom-up, or lateral thinking for design; or expert, pragmatic, or innovative perspectives for creative work. Each solution is scored against correctness, completeness, quality, clarity, and elegance, then the winner is returned with trade-off analysis and guidance on when alternatives might suit better.
Feature Planning transforms vague feature requests into structured implementation roadmaps. It systematically clarifies requirements, explores your codebase for patterns, designs components, and generates discrete, sequenced tasks with file paths and dependencies. Integrates with plan-implementer to execute each task.
