mint
Mint is an auto-routing orchestrator for AI coding agents, designed to streamline disciplined agentic development. It automatically detects and invokes the most appropriate mode (quick, plan, research, ship, verify) for any coding task.
About this skill
Mint serves as a central orchestrator, designed to be invoked for all coding tasks within an AI agent environment. Its core function is to intelligently auto-detect the optimal development mode required for a given task, abstracting away the need for the user or agent to manually select specific sub-skills or workflows. This skill supports a range of pre-defined modes: 'quick' for rapid, straightforward tasks; 'plan' for initial strategizing and design; 'research' for gathering information or exploring solutions; 'ship' for deployment-related activities; and 'verify' for testing and quality assurance. By automating this routing, Mint promotes a structured and 'disciplined agentic development' approach, ensuring that projects progress through appropriate stages from conception to completion. Users would leverage Mint to establish a consistent, high-quality development pipeline without micro-managing the agent's workflow. It's particularly useful for complex projects that naturally involve multiple stages of development, providing an overarching control mechanism that adapts to the task at hand.
Best use case
The primary use case for Mint is to provide a comprehensive, automated workflow for AI-driven coding projects. Developers who seek a structured and consistent approach to development, from initial problem definition to final verification, will benefit most from using this orchestrator to manage their agent's coding tasks.
Mint is an auto-routing orchestrator for AI coding agents, designed to streamline disciplined agentic development. It automatically detects and invokes the most appropriate mode (quick, plan, research, ship, verify) for any coding task.
A well-orchestrated, multi-stage development process for coding tasks, resulting in code that has passed through appropriate planning, research, and verification steps.
Practical example
Example input
Implement a new user authentication flow using OAuth2.
Example output
Mint detected 'plan' mode. Starting with requirements analysis and architectural design for the OAuth2 authentication flow. Next, it will transition to research for best practices and then to development...
When to use this skill
- When initiating any new coding task, regardless of complexity.
- When you want your AI agent to automatically select the most appropriate development mode (e.g., plan, research, quick).
- To ensure a disciplined and multi-stage approach to software development.
- For projects that require phases of planning, research, coding, shipping, and verification.
When not to use this skill
- When you explicitly need to bypass orchestration and invoke a very specific, known sub-skill directly.
- For extremely trivial, single-command tasks that don't benefit from a multi-stage workflow.
- If you prefer complete manual control over every step of your agent's coding process.

Meeting Prep
Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.
