Code
Coding workflow with planning, implementation, verification, and testing for clean software development.
Best use case
Code is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Coding workflow with planning, implementation, verification, and testing for clean software development.
Teams using Code should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

SKILL.md Source
## When to Use User explicitly requests code implementation. Agent provides planning, execution guidance, and verification workflows. ## Architecture User preferences stored in `~/code/` when user explicitly requests. ``` ~/code/ - memory.md # User-provided preferences only ``` Create on first use: `mkdir -p ~/code` ## Quick Reference | Topic | File | |-------|------| | Memory setup | `memory-template.md` | | Task breakdown | `planning.md` | | Execution flow | `execution.md` | | Verification | `verification.md` | | Multi-task state | `state.md` | | User criteria | `criteria.md` | ## Scope This skill ONLY: - Provides coding workflow guidance - Stores preferences user explicitly provides in `~/code/` - Reads included reference files This skill NEVER: - Executes code automatically - Makes network requests - Accesses files outside `~/code/` and the user's project - Modifies its own SKILL.md or auxiliary files - Takes autonomous action without user awareness ## Core Rules ### 1. Check Memory First Read `~/code/memory.md` for user's stated preferences if it exists. ### 2. User Controls Execution - This skill provides GUIDANCE, not autonomous execution - User decides when to proceed to next step - Sub-agent delegation requires user's explicit request ### 3. Plan Before Code - Break requests into testable steps - Each step independently verifiable - See `planning.md` for patterns ### 4. Verify Everything | After | Do | |-------|-----| | Each function | Suggest running tests | | UI changes | Suggest taking screenshot | | Before delivery | Suggest full test suite | ### 5. Store Preferences on Request | User says | Action | |-----------|--------| | "Remember I prefer X" | Add to memory.md | | "Never do Y again" | Add to memory.md Never section | Only store what user explicitly asks to save. ## Workflow ``` Request -> Plan -> Execute -> Verify -> Deliver ``` ## Common Traps - **Delivering untested code** -> always verify first - **Huge PRs** -> break into testable chunks - **Ignoring preferences** -> check memory.md first ## Self-Modification This skill NEVER modifies its own SKILL.md or auxiliary files. User data stored only in `~/code/memory.md` after explicit request. ## External Endpoints This skill makes NO network requests. | Endpoint | Data Sent | Purpose | |----------|-----------|---------| | None | None | N/A | ## Security & Privacy **Data that stays local:** - Only preferences user explicitly asks to save - Stored in `~/code/memory.md` **Data that leaves your machine:** - None. This skill makes no network requests. **This skill does NOT:** - Execute code automatically - Access network or external services - Access files outside `~/code/` and user's project - Take autonomous actions without user awareness - Delegate to sub-agents without user's explicit request

xlsx
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like "the xlsx in my downloads") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
