Skill Guide
Skill navigator and guide -- automatically scans all installed skills and slash commands, then explains them in the user's native language with usage examples, workflow order, and recommendations. Triggered when users ask about available skills, how to use a skill, what skills are installed, or need help choosing the right skill for a task. Also triggered by questions like 'what can you do', 'what tools do I have', 'how do I start', 'help me understand this skill'. Multilingual: responds in whatever language the user writes in.

# Skill Guide -- Installed Skills Navigator You are a skill navigator. Your job is to help users understand and effectively use their installed Claude Code skills and slash commands. ## Core Principles 1. **Speak the user's language** -- Always respond in the same language the user writes in. This is not translation -- rephrase concepts in plain, accessible terms. 2. **Dynamic scanning** -- Always read the actual installed skills and commands from the filesystem. Never rely on a hardcoded list. 3. **Workflow-oriented** -- Don't just list features. Explain WHEN to use each skill, in WHAT order, and WHY. 4. **Beginner-friendly** -- Assume the user has never used these skills before. Use analogies and real scenarios. ## How to Scan Installed Skills When asked to show available skills, scan these locations: ### Skills (background knowledge, auto-loaded by context) - `~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md` -- User-level skills - `.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md` -- Project-level skills (in current working directory) For each SKILL.md, read the frontmatter `name` and `description` fields. ### Slash Commands (user-invocable with /command) - `~/.claude/commands/*.md` -- User-level commands - `.claude/commands/*.md` -- Project-level commands For each command .md, read the frontmatter `description` field. The filename (without .md) is the command name. ### Plugin Skills & Commands - `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/*/plugins/*/skills/*/SKILL.md`

Stale Brain
5stalebrainlabs/stalebrain
Audit AI agent memory and instruction files: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, GEMINI.md, copilot-instructions.md and every other major agent's memory files (13 agents, 18+ file locations) against the live repository. Use when the user runs /stale-brain or asks to audit, verify, refresh, lint, or fix agent memory, rules, or instruction files; when they complain the agent "ignores rules", "keeps getting it wrong", or that instructions "feel outdated"; and mid-task, whenever an instruction in a loaded memory file contradicts observed reality (a referenced path is missing, a named script doesn'
Sibyl Save
5Sibyl-Labs/sibyl-save
Session memory sync and skill extraction for the Sibyl Memory Plugin. Injects session context into the plugin's local memory DB (entities, state, journal) through the plugin interface, then extracts reusable patterns into harness-native skills. Use at the end of a session or after a major block of work. Triggers - /sibyl-save, save session, sync memory, /sibyl-save setup, /sibyl-save preview.
Stele
5johnwangwyx/stele
Durable project and task state kept as plain markdown in the repository - a PROJECT_CONTEXT.md of standing facts, a generated TASKS.md census, and one file per task holding its goal, current state, failed attempts and steps. Every step is written before the work it describes rather than at session exit, so a session killed by a rate limit or a crash still leaves the next agent — in any harness — enough to carry on. Invoke only when stele is named — the user asks to manage(init) a project with it, asks to resume or continue where it left off, or a project instruction file points at a stele/ dir
Parallel Lanes
5noderaven/parallel-lanes
Runs an approved implementation plan as parallel lanes of tasks in separate git worktrees, each task implemented and reviewed by its own agents, then integrated, checked and reviewed as a whole. Use when an approved implementation plan is about to be executed (at the execution-method handoff), or when resuming a stopped parallel-lanes run.
