Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and other agents that read SKILL.md.
What it does

Analyzes completed coding sessions to surface systematic improvements across navigation, automated checks, coding standards, and tool usage. Run this after agent work feels inefficient or error-prone to find friction points that guardrails, linting, or documentation can eliminate. Focuses on building deterministic checks and automation rather than one-off rules.

  • Maps navigation friction: identifies hidden dependencies and file-discovery bottlenecks that slow agents down
  • Audits guardrails: detects missing or broken linting, type-checking, tests, and CI workflows that could catch errors automatically
  • Flags coding standard gaps: distinguishes mechanical violations (build a check) from judgment calls (document in standards)
  • Optimizes tool economy: spots expensive or redundant API calls and custom tooling inefficiencies
