Transform saved links, papers, articles, posts, videos, and reference collections into approachable AI teaching artifacts for later study. Use when a user wants to queue learning material, create a readable explanation from a source, teach a paper or post step by step, or run an interactive tutor that validates understanding over multiple sessions.

Inspect an unfamiliar repository, turn a focused Markdown behavior scenario into a deterministic test in the repository's native test stack, run it, and preserve traceability between intent and code. Use when asked to add scenario tests, compile acceptance criteria or Given/When/Then Markdown into executable tests, reproduce a user-visible regression, or convert a narrow workflow specification into stable web, API, CLI, desktop, or mobile interaction coverage. Do not use for broad exploratory journeys or agent-judged smoke tests.

Create truthful, human-centered marketing campaigns for an app or product, including positioning, channel copy, original artwork, editable layouts, README banners, and selective website integration. Use when asked to make launch materials, promotional artwork, social assets, campaign kits, ads, or marketing content from an existing product; to adapt a visual reference without copying it; or to add approved campaign art to product surfaces. Do not invent claims, fake UI, publish, deploy, or replace product proof without explicit evidence and authorization.

Create or update a complete repository skill from a user's idea, including the workflow instructions, references, scripts or assets, agent metadata, skill-card artwork, cinematic banner artwork, README links, discovery metadata, and validation. Use when the user asks to create a new skill, add a skill to this collection, turn a workflow into a reusable skill, or make a skill's documentation and artwork consistent with the repository.

Map the big picture around a topic or software repository by identifying its boundaries, layers, actors, components, relationships, flows, history, fault lines, and open questions, then explain how the pieces fit together and where to look next. Use when a user asks to understand a whole field, domain, technology, ecosystem, industry, codebase, architecture, unfamiliar repo, or phrases such as "give me the big picture", "map the landscape", "how does this all fit together?", "help me get oriented", or "what am I missing?

Generate, refine, compare, and when needed validate distinctive names for startups, AI products, developer tools, protocols, open-source projects, apps, product families, local businesses, services, companies, nonprofits, and other organizations. Use when asked to name or rename a business, brand, product, venture, shop, studio, or organization; derive a name from an existing project or concept; create a company and product naming system; compare candidates; or check company, domain, package, repository, marketplace, or trademark conflicts. Default to a fast no-browse creative pass; use current validation when the user requests availability or research, or is choosing a final name. Do not claim legal clearance, purchase domains, or present stale or unverified availability as fact.

Use when an agent is asked to draft, rewrite, edit, review, polish, copyedit, simplify, humanize, or create written prose, including creative writing, essays, posts, scripts, speeches, emails, documentation, product copy, and other style-sensitive text. Apply George Orwell's six rules and ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English as a plain-English discipline while preserving the user's intended meaning, audience, tone, and explicit constraints.

Run a cumulative daily or retrospective sweep of research papers on a chosen topic, audit their claims, methods, integrity signals, and independent support, then identify overlooked but feasible project or business opportunities in a detailed source-grounded report. Use when asked to monitor papers every day, mine buried research, evaluate whether a paper is credible or reproducible, find unimplemented research ideas, or separate promising work from hype, weak evidence, and retracted or contradicted results.

Analyze a software repository at the latest remote main commit and turn its implemented architecture into a citation-backed interactive isometric system map with a legend, selectable infrastructure buildings, dependency and payload flows, and plain-language learner explanations. For eligible public GitHub repositories, also contribute the verified map to tamdogood/CodeTerrain with a pull request. Use when a user provides a repository URL or asks to visualize, explore, learn, explain, or map a repo's architecture, infrastructure, runtime control flow, data flow, services, queues, stores, external systems, or deployment topology in an interactive UI.

Inspect an unfamiliar repository, interpret a broad Markdown user journey at runtime, operate the real product through its supported web, API, CLI, desktop, or mobile surface, and produce an auditable pass, fail, or blocked judgment with screenshots, logs, recordings, and a step timeline when available. Use when asked to run smoke tests, validate an end-to-end user journey, dogfood a product, test a release candidate, or execute a non-deterministic workflow that may include authentication or human checkpoints. Do not use as a substitute for deterministic unit, integration, or scenario tests.

Profile and debug Hermes sessions from their JSONL transcripts. Find a session and its subagents, build a queryable event table, summarize the work as a hierarchical table of contents, break down wall time, inference, tools, tokens, and estimated cost per agent, identify errors and improvement opportunities, and export a shareable Perfetto trace. Use when a user wants to inspect what a Hermes session did, debug agent or subagent activity, understand session cost or latency, create a session timeline, generate a trace, or learn how to improve the next agent run.

Teach any topic deeply from first principles and build evidence-based paths toward exceptional capability. Use when a user asks to understand, explain, learn, or deep-dive into a topic; asks why or how something works, why it matters, how alternatives compare, or what different perspectives reveal; requests current paradigms, a complete roadmap or curriculum, deliberate practice and feedback, or a top-1%-level mastery plan. Answer explanation questions completely before offering a curriculum; route explicit mastery goals to an adaptive practice and proof-of-capability system.
