What do you want to do?
3 use cases
-
Go from idea to tested feature with /spec, /plan and /build
Install the skills and run a feature through spec, plan and incremental build with tests at every step.
View prompt
Using addyosmani/agent-skills, run /spec for <feature>, then /plan, and show me the plan. After I approve, implement it with /build one slice at a time, test-driven, committing each task, and stop on any failing test.
-
Run a five-axis code review on every branch before merge
Install just the code review skill and have your agent review changes before you open the PR.
View prompt
Install the code-review-and-quality skill from addyosmani/agent-skills and review the changes on this branch against main. Group findings by severity, fix the obvious ones, and list anything that needs my decision before merge.
-
Have your agent interview you before it writes any code
Use the interview-me skill so the agent asks requirement questions one at a time before building.
View prompt
Use the interview-me skill from addyosmani/agent-skills to interrogate me about <feature idea>, one question at a time. When you have enough, write the spec with /spec and list every assumption you still made.
