Related Claude Code Skills
Planning
Create and manage persistent markdown planning files for structured task execution. Use when the user asks to "create a plan", "track progress", "start a research project", or when a task requires more than 5 tool calls and needs structured phase tracking to stay focused and avoid goal drift.
Memory Search
Search conversation history and semantic memory to recall previous discussions, decisions, and context. Use when the user asks to "search memory", "what did we discuss", "remember when", "find previous conversation", "check history", or before starting work to recall prior decisions.
Agent Messaging
Send and receive cryptographically signed messages between AI agents using the Agent Messaging Protocol (AMP). Use when the user asks to "send a message to an agent", "check agent inbox", "message another agent", "reply to a message", "notify an agent", or any inter-agent communication task.
Docs Search
Search auto-generated codebase documentation for function signatures, API docs, class definitions, and code comments. Use when the user asks to "search docs", "find documentation", "look up a function", "check the API", or before implementing changes to verify correct signatures and patterns.
Graph Query
Query the code graph database to understand component relationships, dependencies, and change impact. Use when the user asks to "find callers", "check dependencies", "what uses this", "show relationships", "find serializers", or when reading code and needing to understand what depends on a component before modifications.
Frontend Design
Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Use this skill when the user asks to build web components, pages, artifacts, posters, or applications (examples include websites, landing pages, dashboards, React components, HTML/CSS layouts, or when styling/beautifying any web UI). Generates creative, polished code and UI design that avoids generic AI aesthetics.
