- principle-separate-before-serializing-shared-statebacknotprop/pstackApply when concurrent actors might write to the same file, branch, key, or state object. Eliminate the sharing first; serialize structurally only when one shared writer is a real invariant.WritingNo warnings★ 3.3K↓ —Also in 2 other repos

- principle-migrate-callers-then-delete-legacy-apisbacknotprop/pstackApply when introducing a new internal API while old callers still exist. Migrate callers and delete the old API in the same wave instead of preserving compatibility layers.EngineeringNo warnings★ 3.3K↓ —Also in 1 other repo
- swarmbacknotprop/pstackFan out N parallel workers, drain them, and return one report. Use for /swarm, 'swarm this', or parallel coverage, races, gauntlets, and exploration.OtherNo warnings★ 3.3K↓ —

- constant-time-testingtrailofbits/skillsMeasures timing side channels in cryptographic implementations by running them, using dudect for statistical analysis and Timecop over Valgrind for dynamic tracing. Covers the formal, symbolic, dynamic, and statistical tool categories and how to read a result. Use when testing whether a running implementation is constant-time, measuring timing variance on a compiled binary, or investigating a suspected timing attack. Not for statically inspecting compiler output — the constant-time-analysis plugin covers that.TestingNo warnings★ 7.9K↓ —

- doca-perftestNewNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is running DOCA Perftest (doca_perftest), the RDMA benchmark that measures bandwidth, message rate and latency for RDMA verbs, point-to-point or across a cluster, with an optional DOCA Verbs backend (-r dv) or GPUNetIO engine (--engine gpunetio). Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA Perftest" — implicit phrasings include "how do I benchmark RDMA write bandwidth with DOCA", "run ib_write_bw but across 8 nodes", "perftest says the device is busy", "my latency numbers differ between client and server", "launch the server over SSH", or "run an all-to-all RDMA test from a JSON scenario". Refuse and route elsewhere for DOCA install (doca-setup), DOCA Bench (doca-bench), and application-level throughput.TestingNo warnings★ 3.8K↓ —

- principle-migrate-callers-then-delete-legacy-apismichael-denyer/pstack-claudeApply when introducing a new internal API while old callers still exist. Migrate callers and delete the old API in the same wave instead of preserving compatibility layers.EngineeringNo warnings★ 3.7K↓ —
- principle-encode-lessons-in-structuremichael-denyer/pstack-claudeApply when you catch yourself writing the same instruction a second time, or notice a recurring correction. Encode the rule as a lint, metadata flag, runtime check, or script instead of more text.WritingNo warnings★ 3.7K↓ —
- principle-never-block-on-the-humanmichael-denyer/pstack-claudeApply when tempted to ask 'should I do X?' on reversible work.OtherNo warnings★ 3.7K↓ —
- principle-type-system-disciplinemichael-denyer/pstack-claudeApply when designing types, reviewing a function signature, or writing code in any statically-typed language. Make illegal states unrepresentable, brand semantic primitives, parse external data at boundaries, exhaust variants, derive from authoritative schemas.WritingNo warnings★ 3.7K↓ —
- image-to-codeplugin87/ux-ui-agent-skillsTurn a reference image, screenshot, or mockup into token-driven, accessible code. Infer the design system from the reference (palette, type scale, spacing, radius, layout archetype), map it to the 3-tier tokens, rebuild it, then verify with the kit's gates. Use when the user provides a design/screenshot and wants matching UI code.MediaNo warnings★ 3.1K↓ —
- prototypeplugin87/ux-ui-agent-skillsMove an idea up the fidelity ladder (content-first → wireframe → low-fi → high-fi → code) with a validation plan at each level, plus user-journey mapping and usability-testing scripts. Use when the user wants to prototype, wireframe, map a user flow, or plan/run usability testing.TestingNo warnings★ 3.1K↓ —
- impeccableUpdatedpbakaus/impeccableUse when the user wants to design, redesign, shape, critique, audit, polish, simplify, harden, animate, or otherwise improve a frontend interface: websites, landing pages, dashboards, product UI, components, forms, settings, onboarding, empty states, and native iOS or Android screens. Handles UX review, hierarchy, layout, typography, color, motion, UX copy, accessibility, responsive behavior, edge cases, and capturing or documenting design systems (DESIGN.md, tokens). Also for making bland UI bolder, loud UI quieter, or ambitious visual effects. Not for backend-only or non-UI tasks.DesignNo warnings★ 97.8K↓ —
- brandkitplugin87/ux-ui-agent-skillsGenerate a complete, accessible brand design system from a brief, as primitive → semantic → component DTCG tokens (color, type, spacing, radius, shadow, motion), light + dark, plus a single theme.css, verified for WCAG. Use when the user wants a from-scratch brand/design foundation, a new palette + type system, or a themeable token kit for a product.DesignNo warnings★ 3.1K↓ —
- golang-lintsamber/cc-skills-golangLinting best practices and golangci-lint configuration for Golang projects — running linters, configuring .golangci.yml, suppressing warnings with nolint directives, interpreting lint output, and selecting linters. Use when configuring golangci-lint, asking about lint warnings or nolint suppressions, setting up code quality tooling, or choosing linters. Also use when the user mentions golangci-lint, go vet, staticcheck, or revive. Not for wiring a lint step into a GitHub Actions pipeline (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-continuous-integration` skill).DevOpsNo warnings★ 3.7K↓ —
- golang-popular-librariessamber/cc-skills-golangGolang library and framework selection — vetted production-ready options by category (web, database, testing, logging, messaging), new and experimental stdlib packages, standard-library-first tradeoffs, and maturity signals (maintenance, license, importer counts). Apply when the user asks for library suggestions, wants to compare alternatives, needs to choose a library for a specific task, or when a new dependency is being added to the project. Not for a specific library's API once chosen (→ See that library's dedicated skill, e.g. `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-samber-lo`), nor for go.mod mechanics, upgrades, or vulnerability audits (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-dependency-management` skill).SecurityNo warnings★ 3.7K↓ —
- design-codeplugin87/ux-ui-agent-skillsGenerate production-ready, accessible, token-driven component code for ANY framework (React+Tailwind, Next.js, SwiftUI, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid, Web Components/Lit, React Native, Flutter, Jetpack Compose, vanilla CSS, or CSS-in-JS). Use when the user wants working UI code for a component or screen in a specific stack.DesignNo warnings★ 3.1K↓ —
- wiki-queryAr9av/obsidian-wikiSearch and synthesize answers from the compiled Obsidian wiki, including cited and multi-hop answers. Use for questions about existing wiki knowledge or fast index-only lookups, and for challenge requests ("challenge this", "argue against X", "poke holes in my plan") that look for the vault's own evidence against a plan. Supports named-vault routing such as wiki-query @work; not for ingesting new sources.PlanningNo warnings★ 3.6K↓ —
- i4h-lerobot-vizNVIDIA/skillsServe and visually inspect a converted LeRobot dataset in the browser. Use for videos and state/action timelines; do not use for raw workflow HDF5 or incomplete conversion output.BrowserNo warnings★ 3.8K↓ —
why
backnotprop/pstack
DevOpsUpdated 3 days ago
From the author
Use for 'why does X work this way', 'why we picked Y', design rationale, regressions, postmortems, or data-backed thresholds. Discovers available MCPs and queries each evidence category (source control, issue tracker, long-form docs, real-time chat, infrastructure observability, error tracking, product analytics warehouse) in parallel, then returns a cited read on decisions and tradeoffs. Use how for runtime behavior.
