refactoring-safely
Use when refactoring code - tracks the refactor in task docs and preserves behavior through small verified changes
What this skill does
<skill_overview> Refactor in small truth-preserving steps. Keep the refactor tracked in task docs and stop if behavior starts drifting. </skill_overview> <rigidity_level> MEDIUM FREEDOM - Keep the change→test→document loop strict, but adapt the exact refactor pattern to the codebase. </rigidity_level> <quick_reference> 1. Create or resume a refactor task directory 2. Capture invariants and risks in `plan.md` 3. Make one small change at a time 4. Run tests between steps 5. Update `context.md` and `tasks.md` </quick_reference> <when_to_use> - Behavior should stay the same - The current design is painful to change - You need a deliberate, reversible refactor path </when_to_use> <the_process> ## 1. Track the refactor Use task docs to capture: - invariants that must not change - risks - target design ## 2. Refactor in tiny steps Each step should be small enough to explain and verify on its own. ## 3. Verify every step Run the smallest relevant tests after each change. ## 4. Keep docs current Update discoveries, remaining risks, and next slices as the refactor unfolds. </the_process>

wordly-wisdom
IncludedProvides calibrated decision analysis using Charlie Munger-style multiple mental models, inversion, incentive mapping, circle-of-competence checks, misjudgment audits, second-order effects, and forecast updates. Use when the user asks for an oracle take, a hard call, a decision memo, a premortem, an outside view, a red-team, a sanity-check, what am I missing, think this through, or wants a strategy, hire, investment, plan, product, partnership, or major life choice analysed. Avoid for simple factual lookups or time-sensitive legal, medical, or market questions without fresh evidence.
swain-session
IncludedSession management and project status dashboard. Owns the full session lifecycle (start/work/close/resume), focus lane, bookmarks, worktree detection, and tab naming. Also serves as the project status dashboard — shows active epics, progress, actionable next steps, blocked items, tasks, GitHub issues, and recommendations. Worktree creation is deferred to swain-do task dispatch (SPEC-195). Triggers on: 'session', 'status', 'what's next', 'dashboard', 'overview', 'where are we', 'what should I work on', 'show me priorities', 'bookmark', 'focus on', 'session info'.
