User-invoked

- knowledge-gardener — Run vault-aware semantic search, synthesis, note creation, linking, and Zettelkasten workflows for this Obsidian vault.
- project-context-pack — Use when the user wants a bounded repo context pack, project map, codebase index, or cached memory file so later work uses fd/rg/tree-sitter/LSP instead of repeated browsing.
- research-engineering — Route DSP hardware and software research-engineering requests to the best specialist workflow and return a unified, decision-ready output.
- research-vault — Research a topic through a one-question-at-a-time learning conversation, answer directly, share resources when useful, and save a linked OKF-conformant research packet in the Obsidian vault.
- setup-skills — Configure this repo for the engineering skills, set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Run once before first use of the other engineering skills.
- tmux-launch-agent — Fork a new agent CLI session into a new tmux window, detected from the current agent.
- youtube-video-capture — Fetch subtitles from a YouTube video, summarize the content, and save both the summary and raw subtitles to the Video bundle in the Obsidian vault.
Model-invoked
- forge-gitea — Work with Gitea repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, and CI.
- forge-github — Work with GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, and CI.
- forge-interaction — Use when the user wants forge work such as opening a PR, creating or listing issues, checking CI, looking at the repo, pushing a branch, publishing changes, or making a release on GitHub or Gitea. This skill now delegates to specialized skills for better predictability.
- forge-preferences — Use with forge-interaction to apply Steve's personal or project-specific GitHub/Gitea remote, CLI, issue, PR, and release preferences.
- pkm-curation — Curate an Obsidian vault — classify notes, normalize frontmatter, add links, extract atomic notes. Use when curating, batch-processing, reviewing, or doing a serendipity pick.
