Use when: (1) User says 'bigbang move', 'repo move', or 'move repo', (2) User wants to move a repo to a new remote while cleaning out client/private information, (3) User needs to start fresh in a new repo without commit history.
Best use case
dev-repo-bigbang-move is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

# Big-Bang Repo Move Move all files from an old repo to a new repo, intentionally losing commit history. Purge private/client info from the new repo before pushing. The old repo is left untouched. ## Arguments - `$0` — Path to the old (source) repo - `$1` — Path to the new (destination) repo If arguments are not provided, ask the user for both paths. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Validate Repos 1. Confirm `$0` exists and is a git repo 2. Confirm `$1` exists. If it is not a git repo yet, run `git init` and create an initial empty commit: ``` git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit" ``` 3. Confirm `$1` has a remote configured (`git remote -v`). If not, ask the user for the remote URL and add it. ### Step 2: Copy Files 1. Copy all files from `$0` to `$1`, excluding `.git/` directory - Use `rsync -av --exclude='.git' <old>/ <new>/` for reliable copy 2. Verify files were copied correctly ### Step 3: Purge Private Info Run `/purge-private-info` on the NEW repo (`$1`) to scan and clean private/client information. ### Step 4: Commit and Push 1. Run `/commits` on the new repo to commit all files 2. Push to the remote: `git push -u origin main` (or the appropriate branch name) ### Step 5: Update Old Repo Remote (Optional) Ask the user if they want to update the old repo's remote to point to the new repo. If yes: 1. Get the new remote URL from `$1`: `git -C $1 remote get-url origin` 2. Update the old repo's remote: `git -C $0 remote set-url origin <new-url>` ### Step 6: Summary Report what was done: - Files copied from old to new repo - Private info purged (summary from purge step) - New repo committed and pushed - Whether old repo remote was updated ## Important Notes - **Never modify the old repo's files or history** — only optionally update its remote URL - **All commit history is intentionally lost** — this is a fresh start - The old repo remains as-is for reference - Always confirm with the user before pushing

xlsx
Spreadsheet creation, editing, and analysis. Use when working with .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv files for: (1) Creating spreadsheets with formulas and formatting, (2) Reading or analyzing data, (3) Modifying existing spreadsheets while preserving formulas, (4) Data analysis and visualization, (5) Recalculating formulas.
x
Facade for development workflows. Routes on two axes: plan-first vs implement-now (escalates to /big-plan -a when the request needs research / decomposition / has unclear scope — the appended -a makes the plan chain into implementation in-session), then single vs multi on the ready-to-build fast paths (/x-as-pr single-topic, /x-wt-teams multi-topic parallel). Use when: (1) User says '/x' followed by dev instructions, (2) User wants to start development without choosing the workflow skill, (3) User says 'dev', 'implement', or 'build' with a task. Default option: -v (verify-ui). Review-loop (-l) is opt-in — without -l the downstream skill runs a single /deep-review pass. Forwards -a (autonomy/auto-chain) and -m (merge at the end + cleanup + CI watch) through every route; auto-fix of raised findings (-f) and issue-raising (-ri) are downstream defaults, with -nf/--no-fix and -nori/--no-raise-issues as the forwarded opt-outs. -a and -m are orthogonal — full hands-off end-to-end is -a -m.
x-wt-teams
Parallel multi-topic development using git worktrees, base branches, and Claude Code agent teams. Use when: (1) User wants to work on multiple related features in parallel, (2) User mentions 'worktree', 'base branch', 'parallel development', 'split into topics', or 'multi-topic'. FULLY AUTONOMOUS — creates worktrees, spawns teams, coordinates everything. Also supports Super-Epic child mode for [Epic] issues from /big-plan with '**Super-epic:** #N' markers (targets the super-epic base branch instead of main).
x-as-pr
Start a development workflow as a draft PR. Creates a NEW branch from the current branch, empty start commit, draft PR targeting the current branch, then implements. ALWAYS creates a new branch by default — produces a nested PR-on-PR when the current branch already has one. Use when: (1) User says 'dev as pr', (2) User wants a PR-first workflow before coding, (3) User passes -s/--stay to reuse the current branch instead of nesting, (4) User passes a GitHub issue URL to implement, (5) User passes --make-issue/--issue to create an issue first. Logs progress via issue comments when an issue is linked.
watch-ci
Watch GitHub PR CI checks in the background and notify on completion. Use when: (1) User wants to monitor CI/CD status, (2) User says 'watch CI', 'check CI', 'monitor checks', or 'wait for CI', (3) User wants to know when checks pass or fail. Runs a background gh polling shell loop (NOT a subagent — near-zero token cost), sends macOS notification on completion. Also handles merged PRs by watching the target branch CI.
w-update-wording-rule
Add or update wording rules (表記ルール) in the w repo's vocabulary-rule.md files. Use when: (1) User says 'add wording rule', 'update wording rule', '表記ルール追加', (2) User wants to add a kanji/hiragana usage rule, (3) User provides a rule like 'X should be Y' with examples.
