Generate standardized checkpoint reports for multi-phase implementation projects. Use this skill when pausing implementation at strategic milestones (phase completion, user story completion, critical features) to create comprehensive progress reports with task breakdowns, metrics, knowledge base entries, and resume instructions.

Internal skill invoked by /aod.define to generate industry-standard PRD content using proven frameworks from Google, Amazon, and Intercom. Do NOT invoke directly — use /aod.define instead, which wraps this skill with Triad governance and sign-offs.

Structured delivery retrospective for the AOD Lifecycle's Deliver stage. Validates Definition of Done, captures delivery metrics (estimated vs. actual duration), logs surprises, feeds new ideas back into discovery via GitHub Issues, and creates Institutional Knowledge entries. Use this skill when you need to close a feature, run a delivery retrospective, capture lessons learned, or complete the AOD lifecycle.

POC kickstart skill that transforms a project idea into a sequenced consumer guide with 6-10 seed features. Use when a developer invokes /aod.kickstart to generate a consumer guide, when starting a new project and needing a structured backlog plan, or when converting a project idea into seed features for the AOD lifecycle. Three-stage workflow: Idea Intake, Stack Selection, Guide Generation.

Plan stage orchestrator that runs all three Plan sub-steps (spec → project-plan → tasks) in sequence with governance gates. Stops on rejection, continues through approvals. Use this skill when you need to run the full Plan stage, navigate planning sub-steps, or resume after a rejection.

Validates architecture documentation completeness by checking for technology stack, API specifications, database schema, security architecture, and alignment with feature specification. Use this skill when you need to check if plan.md is complete before implementation, validate architecture documentation, or review technical plans for completeness.

Re-score an existing idea's ICE rating when circumstances change. Use this skill when you need to re-evaluate ideas, update ICE scores, change idea priority, or re-assess deferred ideas.

Validates specification completeness and quality by checking for mandatory sections, [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers, testable criteria, and clear scope boundaries. Use this skill when you need to check if spec is complete, validate specifications, review spec.md, or check specification quality. Ensures specifications are ready for architecture and implementation phases.

On-demand backlog snapshot and lifecycle stage summary. Regenerates BACKLOG.md from GitHub Issues and displays item counts per stage. Use this skill when you need to check backlog status, view stage counts, regenerate BACKLOG.md, or get a lifecycle overview.

Guided post-init workshop that helps new AOD Kit adopters establish product vision and design identity. Two-part flow: Part 1 (Vision) asks 5 guided questions to populate product-vision.md; Part 2 (Design) browses archetypes to generate brand files (brand.md, tokens.css, anti-patterns.md). Supports --vision and --design flags for partial execution. Use when a developer invokes /aod.foundation after running make init.

Routes to 14 structured thinking methodologies (lenses) for systematic analysis. Use this skill when you need to think through problems, apply thinking lenses, reason through decisions, or perform systematic analysis. Auto-selects appropriate lens based on context - 5 Whys for failures, Pre-Mortem for risks, First Principles for assumptions, Systems Thinking for architecture, Four Causes for understanding, Cargo Cult Detection for validation, Golden Mean for calibration.

Guide for using code execution capabilities to perform parallel batch processing, conditional filtering, and data aggregation. This skill should be used when agents need to analyze multiple files efficiently, validate large result sets, aggregate data from multiple sources, or reduce token consumption through execution-based filtering. Provides reusable templates for quota-aware workflows, error handling patterns, and token-efficient data processing.

Automates git workflow tasks including status checks, branch creation, file staging, conventional commit message generation, and pull request creation with gh CLI. Use this skill when you need to commit changes, create PRs, check git status, create branches, push code, or generate commit messages. Ensures proper git workflow and commit standards.

Guided pattern and bug creation with interactive prompts and automatic quality validation. Use this skill when you need to create patterns, document solutions, add KB entries, document bug fixes, save solutions, or create knowledge base entries. Helps users create high-quality KB entries with proper structure, scoring, and categorization. Provides improvement suggestions for entries below quality thresholds.

Interactive Knowledge Base search with natural language queries. Use this skill when you need to search KB, find patterns, search knowledge base, look for solutions, find bug fixes, or query institutional knowledge. Searches patterns and bug fixes with relevance ranking, quality scoring, and fuzzy matching for typo tolerance. Helps users find solutions quickly without manual browsing.

Activate, list, and manage stack packs that encode technology-specific conventions, security patterns, and agent persona supplements into AOD.

This skill contains the domain knowledge extracted from the tachi control-analyzer agent. It provides the reference data needed to detect compensating controls in a target codebase, classify their effectiveness, calculate residual risk, and generate remediation recommendations.

Domain knowledge for threat infographic generation — infographic specification formats, template-specific section layouts (Baseball Card, System Architecture, Risk Funnel), Gemini API prompt construction rules, and visual design system tokens. Consumed by the threat-infographic agent during specification and image generation.

Domain knowledge for the tachi orchestrator agent: SARIF 2.1.0 generation specification, STRIDE-per-Element and AI keyword dispatch rules, cross-agent correlation matrices, output schema tables for threats.md, structural validation checklist, and error handling templates. Loaded on-demand by the orchestrator during specific pipeline phases.

Domain knowledge for PDF security report assembly — artifact detection patterns with tier selection rules, Typst data variable contract with type specifications and image path resolution, and brand asset handling with logo location and fallback rules. Consumed by the report-assembler agent during report generation.
