From the author
Knowledge base from the GAO Agile Assessment Guide (GAO-24-105506, 2023). Use for assessing and managing Agile software development in federal programs: the Agile Manifesto and framework family (Scrum, Kanban, XP, SAFe, DA, DSDM, Lean, DevOps); the three adoption perspectives (team dynamics, program operations, organization environment); requirements decomposition (epics, features, user stories, INVEST, MoSCoW, definition of done); Agile-aware federal contracting (FAR, modular contracting, SOO/PWS/SOW, product owner vs. COR); program monitoring and control (WBS, cost, schedule, EVM at the feature level); Agile metrics (velocity, lead/cycle time, CFD, burn charts); and the auditor's key-question bank. Oversight- and acquisition-oriented: it tells you how to *assess and govern* Agile programs, not how to code. Thin on hands-on engineering practice, deep cost/schedule checklists (see gao-cost, gao-schedule), and any non-US-federal context.

- agile-methodsTibsfox/gsd-skill-creatorAgile and Lean software development methodologies for iterative, adaptive project execution. Covers Scrum (roles, ceremonies, artifacts), Kanban (WIP limits, flow metrics), XP (TDD, pair programming, CI), SAFe overview, Lean Software Development (Poppendieck's 7 principles), user stories (INVEST criteria), estimation via story points and velocity, and the Agile Manifesto's values and principles. Includes Cynefin framework for methodology selection and GSD's relationship to Agile as a structured Lean variant.Testing★ 71
- gao-costjgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packsKnowledge base from the GAO Cost Estimating and Assessment Guide (GAO-20-195G). Use for program cost estimating: the four characteristics of a reliable estimate (comprehensive, well documented, accurate, credible) and the 18 best practices; the 12-step cost estimating process (purpose, plan, technical baseline, WBS, ground rules and assumptions, data, point estimate, sensitivity, risk/uncertainty, document, present, update); estimating methods (analogy, parametric, engineering build-up, learning curves); Monte Carlo risk/uncertainty analysis, confidence levels and contingency; auditing and validating an estimate against the characteristics; earned value management (EIA-748, BCWS/BCWP/ACWP, CPI/SPI/TCPI, EAC, PMB, IBR); and specialized techniques (software cost estimating, learning curves, Analysis of Alternatives, WBS templates, the Green Book internal-control framework). This is the cost-estimating companion to the GAO Schedule and Technology Readiness Assessment guides. Does not cover schedule estimating/riPlanning★ 98
- gao-schedulejgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packsKnowledge base from the GAO Schedule Assessment Guide (GAO-16-89G, 2015). Use for building, assessing, or auditing a program's integrated master schedule (IMS): the ten best practices of a reliable schedule (capture, sequence, resource, duration, traceability, valid critical path, reasonable total float, schedule risk analysis, updating, baseline), the four characteristics (comprehensive, well-constructed, credible, controlled), critical path method arithmetic (forward/backward pass, total float), schedule risk analysis (Monte Carlo, contingency), statusing and baseline control, and the Appendix II audit triad. Scheduling/time-management oriented: it is the authority on schedule reliability, but it is NOT a cost-estimating guide, a full SE process model, an agile guide, or a risk-management framework — see sibling packs (gao-cost, dau-se-guidebook, nasa-schedule, nasa-risk) for those.Other★ 98
- agent-evals-and-observabilitymagnus919/agent-skillsDesign, run, review, or release framework- and vendor-neutral evaluations and observability for AI agents. Use when defining agent evals, datasets, graders, trajectory review, monitor independence, oversight quality, regression analysis, release gates, production traces, or privacy-aware telemetry. Covers task and trajectory contracts, statistical comparisons, and incident-to-case learning; route framework implementation to pydanticai or langgraph when needed. Do not use this skill for unrelated requests; route to the nearest named specialist.DevOps★ 165
- dau-se-guidebookjgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packsKnowledge base from the DoD Systems Engineering Guidebook (September 2026, DOPSR Case # 26-T-2032). Use for the DoD SE process model (16 processes: 8 technical management + 8 technical, mapped by method to ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288), SE Modernization (digital engineering, MBSE, MOSA, Agile), engineering resources and enablers, event-driven technical reviews and audits (ASR/SRR/SFR/PDR/CDR/SVR/FCA/PRR/PCA), the Systems Engineering Plan (SEP), TPMs and leading indicators, and the 24 design considerations. Acquisition-program oriented. Guidance not policy. Not the SoS guide.Design★ 98
- product-operations-and-governancemagnus919/agent-skillsDefine and run product governance — recurring decision rights, intake, portfolio cadences, evidence standards, and cross-functional operating contracts. Covers six review cadences (intake, portfolio, roadmap, experiment, launch, lifecycle) with named accountable owners, minimum evidence standards per decision type, and escalation paths. Supports lightweight and high-assurance operating modes with configurable governance patterns. Use when designing a product governance model, resolving contested decisions, establishing evidence standards, recording exceptions and escalations, or building cross-functional operating contracts. Do NOT use for executive governance (capital allocation, org structure — route to chief-of-staff-methodology or strategy-frameworks), for technical delivery gates (CI/CD, release approval — route to release-engineering or spec-driven-development), or to impose a universal org chart.DevOps★ 165
