Enforces a disciplined five-mode pipeline — RESEARCH → DESIGN → REVIEW → IMPLEMENTATION → VALIDATION — where each mode is a role-based analysis with a fixed deliverables set and a hard STOP-and-WAIT gate between modes, so no phase begins until the user approves the previous one. Use this ONLY when the user explicitly asks for gated, step-by-step execution, or when an already-agreed multi-file change (feature, refactor, migration) must be executed with hard approval checkpoints between phases. Trigger on explicit gate language: "gated mode", "phase-gate this", "go mode-by-mode", "phase by phase", "stop between phases", "research mode", "design mode", "review mode", "implementation mode", "validation mode". Do NOT trigger on bare task openings ("build", "implement", "add", "refactor", "fix", "help me with X") — open-ended feature ideation belongs to superpowers:brainstorming, and architecture artifacts (ADR, C4, Well-Architected review) belong to architect-pipeline. This skill is the EXECUTION gate, not the entry point.

Launch OpenAI Codex CLI as a subagent (ChatGPT subscription auth, no API key). Use when delegating a self-contained coding task to Codex from another agent — parallel implementation work, a second opinion, or an independent verification pass.

Replace the client-side agent loop with Databricks Supervisor API (hosted tools + client-side function tools). Use when: (1) User asks about Supervisor API, (2) User wants Databricks to run the agent loop server-side, (3) Connecting Genie spaces, UC functions, agent endpoints, or MCP servers as hosted tools, (4) Mixing client-side function tools (Python callables your app executes) with hosted tools.

Execute automatically handles semantic version updates across plugin.json and marketplace catalog when user mentions version bump, update version, or release. ensures version consistency in AI assistant-code-plugins repository. Use when appropriate context detected. Trigger with relevant phrases based on skill purpose.

Add OpenTelemetry observability (traces, logs, metrics) to a Python app with Liteverge. Use when the user asks to add observability, tracing, logging, or metrics to a FastAPI, Django, Flask, or similar Python backend — or to add custom spans, logs, and instrumentation to an already-instrumented app.

Add OpenTelemetry observability (traces, logs, metrics) to a Node.js/TypeScript app with Liteverge. Use when the user asks to add observability, tracing, logging, or metrics to an Express, Fastify, or similar Node.js backend — or to add custom spans, logs, and instrumentation to an already-instrumented app.

Add OpenTelemetry observability (traces, metrics) to an AWS Lambda function with Liteverge. Use when the user asks to add tracing, observability, or metrics to a Lambda function — or to add custom spans and metrics to an already-instrumented Lambda. Logs are not included; use CloudWatch for logging.

Add OpenTelemetry tracing to a browser/frontend app with Liteverge. Use when the user asks to add observability, tracing, or OpenTelemetry to a React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, or similar frontend app — or to add custom spans and instrumentation to an already-instrumented app.

Documentation workflow that converts requirements into structured AsciiDoc sections, runs Vale for style compliance, and produces merge-ready content. Use when creating or updating AsciiDoc documentation from Jira tickets, GitHub issues, or feature descriptions.

Diagnostic and repair workflow that analyzes error logs, traces root causes, implements fixes, and verifies with regression tests. Use when fixing bugs, debugging runtime errors or exceptions, investigating test failures or crashes, or submitting bug-fix pull requests. Activated by commands: /unattended, /assess, /diagnose, /reproduce, /fix, /test, /review, /document, /pr, /feedback, /start.

Use when the user wants to build a Python Kafka producer or consumer, add Schema Registry to existing Python code, migrate from raw JSON to schema-backed serialization, or scaffold a confluent-kafka-python project for Confluent Cloud, local Docker, or WarpStream. Also use when user wants to optimize Python Kafka client configuration for WarpStream.

Audit, plan, and implement SEO improvements across technical SEO, on-page optimization, structured data, Core Web Vitals, and content strategy. Use when the user wants better search visibility, SEO remediation, schema markup, sitemap/robots work, or keyword mapping.

Safe Python Netmiko patterns for read-only collection, bounded batch SSH, TextFSM parsing, guarded config changes, timeouts, and network automation error handling. Use when automating network device access with Python Netmiko, whether collecting state or pushing guarded config changes.

Guides agents through integrating transactional email sending via Mailtrap's Email API, including sandbox testing, domain verification, and API authentication. Use when implementing email-sending features, debugging delivery issues, or setting up safe dev/staging email testing.

Generate iOS app icons as PNG imagesets for Xcode asset catalogs from SF Symbols (5000+ Apple-native) or Iconify API (275k+ open source icons from 200+ collections). Use when generating icons, creating icon assets, adding icons to asset catalog, or searching for icons for iOS projects.

Convert local Hermes operator workflows into sanitized ECC skills and release-pack artifacts. Use when preparing a Hermes workflow for public ECC reuse without leaking private workspace state, credentials, or local-only paths.

Prevent silent decimal mismatch bugs across EVM chains. Covers runtime decimal lookup, chain-aware caching, bridged-token precision drift, and safe normalization for bots, dashboards, and DeFi tools. Use when handling token amounts across EVM chains, or when a balance, price, or transfer amount is off by orders of magnitude.

Cisco IOS and IOS-XE review patterns for show commands, config hierarchy, wildcard masks, ACL placement, interface hygiene, and safe change-window verification. Use when reading, writing, or reviewing Cisco IOS / IOS-XE configuration or planning a change window.

Build a source-derived writing style profile from real posts, essays, launch notes, docs, or site copy, then reuse that profile across content, outreach, and social workflows. Use when the user wants voice consistency without generic AI writing tropes.
