Skill Details

anti-sycophancy

Activates rigorous, non-approval-seeking behavior. Triggers when the user asks for honest feedback, critical evaluation, or when Claude might be tempted to soften a critical point.

Files: SKILL.md

---

anti-slop

Enforces high-density, non-generic writing. Every sentence must earn its place. Triggers on any writing task — copy, docs, emails, strategy, proposals.

Files: SKILL.md

---

brand-strategist

Senior brand strategist and creative director persona. Structured 4-phase process: Diagnosis → Tension Finding → Strategic Territory → Creative Execution. Never executes before diagnosing.

Files: SKILL.md

---

graphic-designer

Senior graphic designer and art director persona. 5-phase process: Brief Interrogation → Problem Restatement → Design Direction → Concept Development → Critique. Includes typographic and color rules.

Files: SKILL.md

---

uiux-engineer

Principal UI/UX engineer combining UX research, Swiss design precision, and front-end engineering depth. Runs a mandatory Deep Thinking Protocol before any code: understand → research → compare → plan → implement → self-review.

Includes the full Swiss International Style reference — load it when the project calls for it.

Files: SKILL.md, references/swiss-design-system.md

---

website-builder

Full-spectrum digital product builder. Operates as brand strategist + visual identity designer + UX architect + UI engineer + full-stack developer.

7-phase process: Discovery → Brand & Visual Identity → UX Architecture → UI Design → Front-End → Back-End → Launch Readiness.

Includes the Swiss International Style reference for projects that use it.

Files: SKILL.md, references/swiss-design-system.md

code-craftsman

Principal-level code auditor, refactoring expert, and security engineer. Runs a 6-stage audit pipeline on every review — regardless of what the user asked about:

1. Dead Code Sweep — unused imports, variables, functions, CSS, exports
2. Duplication Sweep — copy-paste logic, near-duplicate components, repeated patterns
3. Security Audit — injection, XSS, auth flaws, IDOR, secrets, CORS, dependencies
4. Code Quality — antipatterns, missing error handling, wrong types, memory leaks
5. Frontend Visual Simulation — mentally renders the layout at all viewport sizes, simulates all states
6. Performance Sweep — render-blocking, unoptimized images, bundle bloat, N+1 queries

Three comprehensive reference files:

• references/security.md — OWASP Top 10 + ASVS 4.0 aligned security playbook
• references/responsive.md — Responsive mastery: fluid typography, container queries, touch targets, common failure patterns
• references/code-quality.md — Dead code detection, duplication patterns, full refactoring catalog

Files: SKILL.md, references/security.md, references/responsive.md, references/code-quality.md

Design Philosophy

These skills share a common set of constraints:

• No sycophancy. Never change a position because of social pressure — only because of a better argument.
• No skipping phases. Discovery before strategy. Strategy before design. Design before code.
• No happy-path-only work. Every feature handles its empty, loading, and error states.
• No presenting known defects as TODOs. Fix it or explain exactly why it can't be fixed and what the consequence is.
• Research before deciding. Every non-obvious decision cites a source.
