13 stars

Best use case

feature-implementation is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Use when implementing a feature or multi-file code change - provides structured implementation flow with persona selection, validation, and testing guidance.

Teams using feature-implementation 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.

# Feature Implementation

## Overview
Guide feature implementation with clear steps: analyze requirements, plan approach, implement safely, and validate with tests.

## When to Use
- Implementing a feature, component, service, or API
- Coordinating multi-domain changes (UI + API + tests)
- Adding tests alongside implementation

Avoid when:
- The task is a trivial one-line change
- You only need a plan (use implementation-workflow)

## Quick Reference

| Task | Load reference |
| --- | --- |
| Implementation workflow | `skills/feature-implementation/references/implement.md` |

## Workflow
1. Clarify requirements and constraints.
2. Load the implementation reference.
3. Implement changes with appropriate personas/tools.
4. Add or update tests.
5. Validate with builds/tests.

## Output
- Implementation summary
- Validation results and remaining risks

## Common Mistakes
- Implementing without tests or validation
- Skipping integration considerations
- Mixing planning and implementation without agreement

wiring-audit

13
from NickCrew/Claude-Cortex

User-triggered audit that finds wiring drift between a project's UI surfaces and backend capabilities — orphan surfaces (UI calls endpoints/hooks/procedures that no longer exist), unwired capabilities (backend routes/exports that nothing surfaces), shape drift (both exist but contracts mismatch), method drift (URL matches, HTTP verb does not), validation drift (frontend vs backend rules diverged), permission drift (UI exposes what backend forbids or vice versa), stale labels (UI text references renamed backend concepts), and unsurfaced configuration (env vars or flags that gate behavior with no UI or CLI to control them). This skill should be used when the user asks to "audit our wiring," "find UI/backend drift," "find unwired capabilities," "find stale surfaces," "check for contract violations," "find unused endpoints," "find unused hooks," "what mismatches between UI and backend," or any similar request whose deliverable is a prioritized findings report rather than a descriptive snapshot. Generic across UI frameworks but optimized for React applications (hooks, fetch, react-query, SWR, tRPC, server actions, react-router, Next.js). Not for descriptive architectural snapshots (use architectural-analysis), security audits (use security-auditor), or performance audits (use workflow-performance).
