Creates a Spring Security configuration class with authentication, authorization, and HTTP protection setup. Use this skill when a security configuration needs to be created, either standalone or as part of a larger task (e.g. adding authentication to a REST API, configuring OAuth2/OIDC login, setting up JWT resource server).

Rules and guidelines for working with Spring Data JPA in the project. ALWAYS use this skill when adding, removing, or modifying JPA entities, repositories, or projections. Trigger on any request that involves changing entity structure, adding new entities, modifying field annotations, updating database mappings, creating or modifying Spring Data repositories, or defining query projections (interfaces, DTOs).

Creates a Spring REST controller with CRUD endpoints backed by a Spring Data repository. Use this skill when a CRUD controller needs to be created, either standalone or as part of a larger task.

Safety rules, workflows, and tool reference for debugging applications via IntelliJ debugger: breakpoints, debug sessions, stepping, evaluating expressions, inspecting runtime state. TRIGGER when: user wants to debug, investigate a bug, set breakpoints, inspect runtime behavior, step through code, or understand why code behaves unexpectedly at runtime. Trigger phrases (EN): "debug", "breakpoint", "step through", "step into", "step over", "why does this crash", "why is this null", "launch in debug mode", "trace execution", "run with debugger", "evaluate expression". Trigger phrases (RU): "отладить", "дебаг", "брейкпоинт", "почему падает", "пошагово пройти", "зайти в метод", "посмотреть значение переменной", "запустить в режиме отладки", "почему null", "стектрейс". Also trigger when user wants to understand runtime behavior or investigate incorrect behavior.

Explores a Spring Boot application and builds primary context: tech stack, module structure, domain entities, REST endpoints. Triggers on explicit requests: "explore project", "describe project", "project overview", "what is this project", "project structure", "tech stack", "give me context about the project", or whenever you need to understand the project before starting any task.

Create structured implementation plan in docs/plans/

Creates a mapper between an entity and a DTO (MapStruct or custom converter). Use this skill when a mapper/converter between entity and DTO needs to be created, either standalone or as part of a larger task (e.g. after DTO creation, during CRUD setup).

Creates a DTO (Data Transfer Object) class for an entity. Use this skill when a DTO class needs to be created, either standalone or as part of a larger task (e.g. REST controller, service layer, replacing entity usage with a DTO).

Prevent semantic code duplication with capability index and check-before-write

This skill should be used when the user says "simplify", "arness code simplify", "simplify code", "code simplification", "clean up code", "reduce complexity", "remove duplication", "check for reuse", "find duplicates", "optimize code", "efficiency review", "simplify implementation", "arn-code-simplify", or wants to review recently implemented code for reuse opportunities, quality issues, and efficiency problems after execution completes. Do NOT use this for full implementation correctness review (use arn-code-review-implementation) or PR review (use arn-code-review-pr).

Simplifies and refines code for clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving all functionality. Focuses on recently modified code unless instructed otherwise.

Optional customization and upgrade tool. This skill should be used when the user says "initialize arness code", "arness code init", "arn-code-init", "init arness code", "setup arness code", "arness code setup", "set up arness code", "start arness code", "upgrade arness code", "update arness code", "configure arness code for this project", "add arness code to this project", "reconfigure arness code", "review arness config", "customize arness config", "arness settings", or wants to customize Arness configuration, review current settings, or upgrade after a plugin update. Handles both existing codebases (analyzes patterns) and greenfield projects (recommends patterns based on technology choices). Also handles upgrades after plugin updates.

This skill should be used when the user says "arness code help", "where am I", "what's next", "show pipeline", "pipeline status", "what step am I on", "arness code status", "arn-code-help", "show workflow", or wants to see their current position in the Arness workflow pipeline and get guidance on the next step.

AST-based code graph for fast symbol lookup, dependency analysis, and blast radius via codebase-memory-mcp MCP server

This skill should be used when the user says "swift", "arness code swift", "quick change", "small change", "just do this", "quick feature", "quick implementation", "swift fix", "implement this quickly", "add this quickly", "simple change", "just implement this", "arn-code-swift", "swift mode", "quick task", or wants a lightweight, pattern-aware implementation for a small feature or enhancement (1-8 files) without going through the full Arness pipeline. Bridges the gap between raw Claude Code and the full feature-spec/plan pipeline. Includes architectural assessment, targeted testing, and pattern compliance review.

This skill should be used when the user says "arness code plan", "arn-code-plan", "plan this", "write a plan", "create plan", "implementation plan", "plan feature", "plan the spec", "plan from spec", "generate plan", "arness code plan FEATURE_X", "plan the bugfix", "plan bugfix", "make a plan", or wants to generate an implementation plan from a Arness specification. The skill invokes the arn-code-feature-planner agent to generate the plan, presents it for review, and iterates on user feedback until approved. Produces a PLAN_PREVIEW file that feeds into /arn-code-save-plan.

Agent skill for coder - invoke with $agent-coder

Agent skill for coder - invoke with $agent-coder

This skill should be used when the user says "catch up", "catch-up", "arness code catch up", "retroactive docs", "document old commits", "backfill artifacts", "what did I miss", "undocumented commits", "catch up on commits", "document past work", "backfill records", or wants to retroactively document commits that were made outside the Arness pipeline.

This skill should be used when the user says "arness code assess", "arn-code-assess", "assess codebase", "technical review", "codebase assessment", "find improvements", "what should I improve", "tech debt review", "tech debt audit", "pattern compliance check", "codebase health check", "assess the project", "improvement plan", "review my codebase", "what needs fixing", "code quality check", "audit my code", "run an assessment", or wants a comprehensive technical assessment of the codebase against stored patterns followed by prioritized improvement execution through the full Arness pipeline.
