Use when an AI agent needs to programmatically drive, test, or record a terminal (TUI) application. Launches programs via pseudo-TTY, captures screen output, sends keystrokes and control sequences, and records sessions to asciicast format. Trigger on: launching interactive terminal programs, automating CLI workflows, testing TUI apps, recording terminal sessions, sending keystrokes to running programs, waiting for terminal output, or any task that requires controlling a terminal application non-interactively.

Produce Metis Strategy whitepapers — thought leadership PDFs with a specific structure, visual style, and editorial voice. Use this skill whenever a user asks to create, draft, or structure a whitepaper, thought leadership paper, playbook, or long-form research report for Metis Strategy. Also trigger when the user mentions "whitepaper," "white paper," "playbook," "thought leadership piece," "long-form report," or asks to produce a publishable document that looks like existing Metis research. Output is a polished, print-ready PDF generated from HTML via Playwright — matching the look and feel of published Metis whitepapers. Do NOT use this skill for short reports, proposals, one-pagers, or presentations — use metis-brand-identity for those. Always use this skill for whitepaper requests, even if the user just says "write a whitepaper on X" without further specification.

Use when asked to review a MR/PR on GitHub or GitLab. Checks for XSS vulnerabilities, validates ARIA attributes and WCAG compliance, identifies render-blocking issues and race conditions, enforces semantic HTML. Produces actionable feedback.

Extract clean markdown content from web pages using Defuddle CLI, removing clutter and navigation to save tokens. Use instead of WebFetch when the user provides a URL to read or analyze, for online documentation, articles, blog posts, or any standard web page.

Create and edit JSON Canvas files (.canvas) with nodes, edges, groups, and connections. Use when working with .canvas files, creating visual canvases, mind maps, flowcharts, or when the user mentions Canvas files in Obsidian.

Create and edit Obsidian Bases (.base files) with views, filters, formulas, and summaries. Use when working with .base files, creating database-like views of notes, or when the user mentions Bases, table views, card views, filters, or formulas in Obsidian.

Comprehensive toolkit for generating best-practice Terragrunt configurations (HCL files) following current standards and conventions. Generates terragrunt.hcl files, root configurations, child modules, stacks, and environment setups; configures remote state backends, dependency blocks, include blocks, feature flags, exclude blocks, and errors blocks; supports DRY Terraform patterns, multi-environment layouts (dev/staging/prod), and OpenTofu engine integration. Use when creating new Terragrunt projects or resources, scaffolding multi-environment infrastructure, implementing DRY Terraform wrapper configurations, setting up terragrunt.hcl files with remote state or provider config, managing module dependencies, or building infrastructure modules with Terragrunt stacks.

Comprehensive toolkit for validating, linting, testing, and automating Terragrunt configurations, HCL files, and Stacks. Use this skill when working with Terragrunt files (.hcl, terragrunt.hcl, terragrunt.stack.hcl), validating infrastructure-as-code, debugging Terragrunt configurations, performing dry-run testing with terragrunt plan, working with Terragrunt Stacks, or working with custom providers and modules.

Apply this skill when building error handling, error boundaries, logging, monitoring, or observability in a Next.js + TypeScript + Drizzle application. Triggers on requests like "handle errors", "add error boundary", "add logging", "add monitoring", "set up Sentry", "why is this failing silently", "add a 404 page", or any time you are building features that need to handle failure gracefully. Use proactively — every new feature should account for error states.
