Skills
10 SKILL.md files ship with this plugin. Preview, copy, or download each one, then install them with the Skills CLI.
bug-fixer
mods/council-pane/specialists/bug-fixer/SKILL.md
A bug reproduces, the expected behaviour is clear, and the fix stands apart from the current work.
ci-fixer
mods/council-pane/specialists/ci-fixer/SKILL.md
A CI job fails on a named revision and the fix belongs in code, config or tests, not in the CI provider.
docs-updater
mods/council-pane/specialists/docs-updater/SKILL.md
Docs must be updated or restructured to match code that already changed: README, reference pages, CLI help or config docs.
refactorer
mods/council-pane/specialists/refactorer/SKILL.md
A behaviour-preserving restructure is named: extract, rename, move, split a module, or remove duplication across three or more sites.
test-pruner
mods/council-pane/specialists/test-pruner/SKILL.md
Tests in a named area duplicate stronger tests, re-assert the implementation, or keep test-only seams alive, and need pruning.
test-writer
mods/council-pane/specialists/test-writer/SKILL.md
The task is to add or extend tests for existing behaviour that has a spec, a documented contract, or a confirmed expected output.
council-execution
skills/council-execution/SKILL.md
Executes council queries by running the query pipeline across selected AI providers (Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, Perplexity), displaying formatted responses verbatim, and generating a synthesis of consensus, divergence, and recommendations. Invoked by the ask command during standard (non-agent) council queries.
deep-execution
skills/deep-execution/SKILL.md
Executes agent-enhanced council queries as one Workflow of parallel Claude analyst agents that each query a provider, evaluate response quality, ask follow-up questions, and return a schema-enforced analysis with confidence ratings and blind spot analysis. Invoked when the --agents flag is used or when complex architectural decisions are detected.
local-council-execution
skills/local-council-execution/SKILL.md
Runs a local council when no external AI providers are configured. Spawns N independent Claude subagents (one per role, blind to each other) that each answer the question from a single assigned lens, then synthesizes their perspectives. Invoked by the ask command via --local, or when the user accepts the local-council offer after no providers are found. This is a same-model (Claude-only) panel, not a cross-vendor council.
provider-integration
skills/provider-integration/SKILL.md
Adds new AI providers to claude-council, configures provider API settings, troubleshoots provider connections, and documents the provider script interface. Covers creating provider shell scripts, setting API keys, and validating connectivity. Triggers on "add provider", "new AI agent", "provider not working", "API configuration", or "extend council".
