avibebuilder/claude-prime.

ask

Answer questions about code, architecture, and technical decisions — no implementation. Trigger on questions asking 'why', 'what does this do', 'what is the purpose of', 'explain', 'what's the difference', 'compare', or 'what are the tradeoffs' — even when referencing specific files, code snippets, or inline code. The key signal is the user wants to UNDERSTAND something, not change it. Do NOT trigger for requests to build, fix, plan, review, research, or add/modify code.

backend-fastapi-python

Use this skill for any Python backend work in this project: building FastAPI endpoints, writing service functions, defining Pydantic/SQLModel schemas, running Alembic migrations, or debugging 422 errors. Essential for authentication and authorization patterns — setting up get_current_user, is_superuser checks, admin-only guards, role-based access, and dependency injection chains like Depends(). Also covers middleware, background tasks, async SQLAlchemy sessions, ORM relationship loading, and request/response design. Activate whenever the question involves Python API code, FastAPI patterns, or backend architecture in this codebase. Not for frontend, Docker, CI/CD, or infrastructure.

create-doc

Use when the user wants to save knowledge as a file so others don't have to rediscover it — \"turn this into a doc\", \"write this up\", \"document how X works\", \"we figured this out and want to capture it\", \"nobody should have to figure this out again\". Covers any request to create or update durable written artifacts: onboarding guides, runbooks, ADRs, API docs, architecture notes, postmortems, changelogs, setup guides. The trigger: user wants knowledge captured in a file for future reference, not just a conversation. Do NOT use when still making decisions (→ give-plan), just asking for explanation without a file (→ ask), or writing code (→ cook).

discuss

Brainstorms and debates approaches, then drives toward an actionable decision. Use whenever someone needs a thinking partner for a decision they're facing: 'discuss', 'debate', 'brainstorm', 'weigh options', 'tradeoffs', 'should I do X or Y', 'help me decide', 'I'm torn between', 'sanity check my thinking', or 'what do you think about'. The user must be asking for help reasoning through a choice — not asking to build, fix, evaluate, plan, or modify something (even if the topic involves this skill itself). Picks the right decision lens, surfaces tradeoffs and blind spots, pushes back when reasoning is genuinely weak, and never implements.

docs-seeker

Fetch up-to-date documentation for any library, framework, API, or service into context. Use when the user wants to look up API references, check function signatures or required fields, find feature-specific docs, or verify how an external tool actually works. Triggers for queries about third-party libraries like Stripe, SQLAlchemy, Tailwind, FastAPI, shadcn, Drizzle, Hono, Better Auth — any time the answer lives in official docs rather than in the project codebase. Use this instead of guessing from trained knowledge, which is stale.

frontend-development

Use this skill for ANY work involving React, Next.js, TypeScript, or Tailwind in the browser layer. This includes building components and pages, but equally covers debugging and fixing frontend issues: CSS/Tailwind classes not applying, form validation behavior, hydration mismatches between server and client renders, styling bugs, layout shifts, and rendering problems. Also use for refactoring components (e.g., splitting Server vs Client Components), data fetching patterns, state management, bundle optimization, and frontend tooling. If the problem involves what users see or interact with in a web browser — whether building, fixing, or refactoring — use this skill. Not for backend APIs, databases, infrastructure, or DevOps.

give-plan

Use when the user wants a written, reviewable plan or spec produced before coding starts. Triggers on: mapping out changes without implementing, thinking through risks of upgrades or migrations, evaluating approaches before committing to one, writing specs for team review, phasing work into stages, or any request that explicitly defers coding ('don't implement yet', 'before we build'). The distinguishing signal is that the user wants a plan artifact — not implementation, not a conversational answer. MUST activates inside Claude's native plan mode to have a better planning behavior.

media-processor

Specialized visual and multimedia processing tools. Use this skill whenever a task involves complex visual content — UI mockups, dense screenshots, design images, charts, artwork — where precise details like spacing, hex colors, font sizes, and component hierarchy need to be extracted accurately. Also use for: reviewing or auditing existing UI against designs, comparing screenshots for visual regressions, transcribing audio/video, extracting data from PDFs with complex layouts, and generating images. Trigger whenever the user wants to implement from a design, review or compare UI screenshots, analyze visual details precisely, describe artwork or aesthetic content, or process any media file (audio, video, PDF).

optimus-prime

Generates a Claude Code configuration tailored to a specific project. Use whenever the user wants to prime a project, set up claude for a repo, bootstrap claude config, or re-prime/refresh an already-primed project (for example after `/prime-sync` pulled new starter content). Triggers on 'prime', 'prime this project', 'optimus-prime', 're-prime', 'refresh claude config', 'regenerate CLAUDE.md', 'set up claude for this repo'. Deeply analyzes the real codebase and builds project-specific skills, rules, and CLAUDE.md — not generic boilerplate. For ongoing config health checks and proposal review, use `self-evolve` instead.

prime-sync

Syncs Claude config between prime repo and target projects. Trigger on 'sync', 'prime-sync', 'push config', 'pull config', 'update prime', 'sync claude config'. Push mode deploys to targets; pull mode imports changes back.
