writing-plans
Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code. Creates bite-sized TDD implementation plans with dependency tracking.
What this skill does
# Writing Plans ## Overview Create comprehensive implementation plans with bite-sized tasks (2-5 minutes each). Every task has exact file paths, complete code, verification steps, and TDD flow. **Core principle:** Document everything the engineer needs. DRY. YAGNI. TDD. Frequent commits. ## When to Use - After design approval (from brainstorming) - When you have specs/requirements for multi-step work - Before any implementation begins ## Task Structure Each task follows: Write failing test -> Verify fail -> Implement minimal code -> Verify pass -> Commit ## Plan Format - Header: Goal, Architecture, Tech Stack - Tasks with exact file paths and complete code - TDD steps with expected output - Task persistence via `.tasks.json` ## Execution Handoff After plan is written, choose: 1. **Subagent-Driven** - Fresh agent per task with two-stage review 2. **Batch Execution** - Execute in batches with human checkpoints ## Agents Used - Process agents defined in `writing-plans.js` ## Tool Use Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/superpowers/writing-plans`

microsoft-graph-gateway
IncludedRoute Microsoft Graph work in this workspace. Use when users want to read or write Outlook mail, calendar events, contacts, OneDrive or SharePoint files, Teams, Planner, To Do, users, groups, directory data, or arbitrary Microsoft Graph endpoints from VS Code. Prefer WorkIQ for common read scenarios. Use Microsoft Graph for write actions and gap-read scenarios that need exact Graph properties, filters, permissions, or endpoints.

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'.
