Delegate coding tasks to external coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode) via shell. Use when: (1) building new features or apps in a separate project, (2) reviewing PRs, (3) refactoring large codebases, (4) iterative coding that needs file exploration. NOT for: simple one-liner fixes (just edit directly), reading code (use read/file tools), or work inside the SwarmClaw workspace itself.
GitHub operations via `gh` CLI: issues, PRs, CI runs, code review, API queries. Use when: (1) checking PR status or CI, (2) creating/commenting on issues, (3) listing/filtering PRs or issues, (4) viewing run logs. NOT for: local git operations (use git directly), non-GitHub repos, or cloning (use git clone).
Use Google Workspace CLI (`gws`) for Drive, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Calendar, Chat, and related Workspace API tasks.
Generate or edit images via Gemini 3 Pro Image (Nano Banana Pro). Use when asked to create, generate, or edit images and a Gemini API key is available. Supports text-to-image generation, single-image editing, and multi-image composition (up to 14 images).
Edit or create PDFs with natural-language instructions using the nano-pdf CLI. Use when asked to make a PDF, edit a PDF, add pages, change text in a PDF, or convert content to PDF format.
Generate images via OpenAI Images API (GPT Image, DALL-E 3, DALL-E 2). Supports batch generation with random prompt sampler and HTML gallery output. Use when asked to generate images with OpenAI and an OPENAI_API_KEY is available.
Always-on guidance for solving tasks resourcefully. Teaches agents to escalate through skills, CLI tools, and custom scripts instead of refusing. Applies to any request where the agent lacks a dedicated tool.
Create, edit, improve, or audit skills for SwarmClaw agents. Use when creating a new skill from scratch or when asked to improve, review, audit, tidy up, or clean up an existing skill or SKILL.md file. Also use when editing or restructuring a skill directory. Triggers on phrases like "create a skill", "author a skill", "tidy up a skill", "improve this skill", "review the skill", "clean up the skill", "audit the skill".
Summarize or extract text/transcripts from URLs, podcasts, YouTube videos, and local files using the summarize CLI. Use when asked to summarize a link, article, video, or file, or to transcribe a YouTube video.
Manage your SwarmClaw agent fleet — agents, tasks, chats, chatrooms, goals, schedules, memory, wallets, connectors, autonomy, and 40+ more command groups. Use when asked to dispatch work, check agent status, coordinate multi-agent work, run diagnostics, manage schedules, set goals, or orchestrate across a SwarmClaw dashboard instance.
Use when working with a SwarmVault knowledge vault (raw/, wiki/, swarmvault.schema.md). Establishes schema-first conventions and prefers graph queries over broad search.
