-## What's New (v3.16.0 — March 2026)
-
-**Formal Agent Definitions, Path-Scoped Rules, and 2 new skills:**
-
-- **`.claude/agents/`** — 6 formal agent definitions (backend-dev, frontend-dev, qa-engineer, security-reviewer, code-reviewer, debugger) with `memory: project`, `isolation: worktree`, and `background: true` where appropriate. `/sk:setup-claude` deploys these to every new project.
-- **`.claude/rules/`** — 6 path-scoped rule files that auto-activate in Claude Code when you edit matching files: `laravel.md`, `react.md`, `vue.md`, `tests.md`, `api.md`, `migrations.md`. Stack-relevant rules are deployed by `/sk:setup-claude` automatically.
-- **`/sk:ci`** — Set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI with Claude Code workflows: auto PR review, issue triage, nightly security audit, release automation. Supports enterprise setups (AWS Bedrock OIDC, Google Vertex AI Workload Identity).
-- **`/sk:plugin`** — Package your project-level customizations (skills, agents, hooks) into a distributable Claude Code plugin with a `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` manifest.
-- **Skill frontmatter upgrades** — model routing (`haiku` for lightweight skills, `sonnet` for analysis), `disable-model-invocation: true` on side-effect skills (commit, release, branch), `context: fork` on expensive standalone skills (seo-audit, accessibility, reverse-doc).
-- **Bug fix** — `allowed_tools` → `allowed-tools` (underscore typo silently ignored by Claude Code) fixed in 7 skills + all agent templates.

 ## What is ShipKit?
 
-ShipKit turns Claude Code into a disciplined development partner. Instead of "write some code," every feature goes through:
+ShipKit turns Claude Code into a disciplined development partner. Instead of "write some code and hope," every task follows a structured path:
 
-**Plan** → **Build (TDD)** → **Quality Gates** → **Ship**
+**Plan → Build (TDD) → Quality Gates → Ship**
 
 Each gate must pass before the next step. Lint fails? Fix it. Tests don't cover new code? Write them. Security issues? They block the PR. Quality is structural, not optional.
 
-ShipKit auto-detects your stack — linters, test runners, frameworks, package managers. No configuration needed.

-## Lifecycle Hooks
-
-`/sk:setup-claude` installs lifecycle hooks that automate common tasks. Core hooks are always installed; enhanced hooks are opt-in.
-
-**Core hooks (always installed):**
-| Hook | Event | What it does |
-|------|-------|-------------|
-| `session-start` | SessionStart | Loads branch, recent commits, tech debt, code health |
-| `session-stop` | Stop | Logs session accomplishments to `tasks/progress.md` |
-| `pre-compact` | PreCompact | Saves git state before context compression |
-| `validate-commit` | PreToolUse (git commit) | Validates conventional commit format, detects secrets |
-| `validate-push` | PreToolUse (git push) | Warns before pushing to protected branches |
-| `log-agent` | SubagentStart | Logs sub-agent invocations to `tasks/agent-audit.log` |
-
-**Enhanced hooks (opt-in via `/sk:setup-claude` or `/sk:setup-optimizer`):**
-| Hook | Event | What it does |
-|------|-------|-------------|
-| `config-protection` | PreToolUse (Edit/Write) | Blocks modifications to linter/formatter configs |
-| `post-edit-format` | PostToolUse (Edit) | Auto-formats with Biome/Prettier/Pint/gofmt after edits |
-| `console-log-warning` | Stop | Warns about `console.log`, `dd()`, `var_dump()` in modified files |
-| `suggest-compact` | PreToolUse (Edit/Write) | Suggests `/compact` after 50+ tool calls |
-| `cost-tracker` | Stop | Logs session metadata to `.claude/sessions/cost-log.jsonl` |
-| `safety-guard` | PreToolUse (Bash/Edit/Write) | Enforces `/sk:safety-guard` freeze/careful mode |

-## Formal Agent Definitions
-
-`/sk:setup-claude` deploys 13 agent definitions to `.claude/agents/` — specialized sub-agents with `memory`, `model`, `tools`, and `isolation` pre-configured. Invoke any agent by mentioning its name in Claude Code.
-
-**Implementation agents** — build things:
-
-| Agent | Memory | Isolation | When to use |
-|-------|--------|-----------|------------|
-| `backend-dev` | project | worktree | Parallel backend work in `/sk:team` — API, services, models |
-| `frontend-dev` | project | worktree | Parallel frontend work in `/sk:team` — components, pages, state |
-| `mobile-dev` | project | worktree | React Native / Expo / Flutter — mobile-specific patterns and store prep |
-
-**Quality agents** — find and fix problems:
+## Scenario Tutorials
 
-| Agent | Memory | Isolation | When to use |
-|-------|--------|-----------|------------|
-| `qa-engineer` | project | background | Write E2E scenarios while other agents implement |
-| `code-reviewer` | project | — | 7-dimension review after implementation (read-only) |
-| `security-reviewer` | user | — | OWASP audit before shipping sensitive changes (read-only) |
-| `performance-optimizer` | project | worktree | When `/sk:perf` finds Critical/High issues — finds AND fixes them |
+### Scenario A — Building a New Feature
 
-**Design agents** — plan before building:
+You want to add user authentication to your app.
 
-| Agent | Memory | Isolation | When to use |
-|-------|--------|-----------|------------|
-| `architect` | project | — | Before `/sk:write-plan` on complex tasks — proposes options with trade-offs |
-| `database-architect` | project | — | Before `/sk:schema-migrate` — migration safety analysis and index recommendations |
-
-**Operations agents** — infrastructure and maintenance:
+```
+/sk:start add email/password authentication with JWT
+```
 
-| Agent | Memory | Isolation | When to use |
-|-------|--------|-----------|------------|
-| `devops-engineer` | project | worktree | CI/CD pipelines, Docker, deployment config — use with `/sk:ci` |
-| `debugger` | project | — | Structured root-cause analysis — use with `/sk:debug` |
-| `refactor-specialist` | project | worktree | Behavior-preserving cleanups — tests must pass before AND after |
-| `tech-writer` | project | — | README, API docs, architecture docs from existing code |
+ShipKit classifies this as a **full-stack feature** and confirms:
 
-`memory: project` — agent accumulates knowledge across sessions for that project. `isolation: worktree` — works in a separate git worktree, safe for risky changes. `background: true` — runs without blocking your conversation.
+```
+Detected: Full-stack feature
+Flow:   feature (8 steps)
+Mode:   autopilot
+Agents: team (backend + frontend + QA)
 
----
+Proceed? (y)
+```
 
-## Path-Scoped Rules
+Type `y`. Here's what happens automatically:
 
-`/sk:setup-claude` installs coding rule files in `.claude/rules/` that Claude Code auto-activates when you open or edit matching files — no manual context loading needed.
+**Step 1 — Brainstorm** (`/sk:brainstorming`)
+Reads your `tasks/findings.md` and `tasks/lessons.md`. Asks clarifying questions one at a time: session vs token auth? remember me? email verification? Writes decisions to `tasks/findings.md`.
 
-| Rule file | Activates when editing | What it enforces |
-|-----------|----------------------|-----------------|
-| `laravel.md` | `app/**/*.php`, `routes/**`, `config/**` | Laravel conventions, service containers, Eloquent patterns |
-| `react.md` | `**/*.tsx`, `**/*.jsx`, `src/**/*.ts` | Hooks rules, component patterns, TypeScript strictness |
-| `vue.md` | `**/*.vue`, `resources/js/**/*.ts` | Composition API only, `<script setup>`, Pinia patterns |
-| `tests.md` | `tests/**`, `**/*.test.*`, `**/*.spec.*` | TDD standards, assertion quality, test isolation |
-| `api.md` | `routes/api.php`, `app/Http/Controllers/**` | RESTful conventions, auth patterns, error response shapes |
-| `migrations.md` | `database/migrations/**`, `prisma/**` | Migration safety rules, reversibility, index naming |
+For complex architecture decisions, the `architect` agent kicks in before you write a plan:
+> Reads your codebase → proposes 2-3 approaches with trade-offs → outputs: "Use Laravel Sanctum (already in composer.json) — not Passport"
 
-Stack-relevant rules are detected and deployed automatically during `/sk:setup-claude` and `/sk:setup-optimizer`.
+**Step 2 — Design**
+- `architect` agent produces API contracts: `POST /auth/login`, `POST /auth/register`, etc.
+- `/sk:frontend-design` produces login/register page mockups.
+- `database-architect` agent reviews the proposed schema: flags missing index on `users.email`, recommends nullable `email_verified_at`.
 
----
+**Step 3 — Plan** (`/sk:write-plan`)
+Writes `tasks/todo.md` with every checkbox: migrations, models, controllers, frontend pages, tests.
 
-## Pick Your Flow
+**Step 4 — Branch**
+```
+git checkout -b feature/add-authentication
+```
 
-| I want to... | Run this | What happens |
-|--------------|----------|-------------|
-| **Not sure — let ShipKit decide** | `/sk:start` | Classifies your task, routes to optimal flow/mode/agents |
-| **Build a new feature** | `/sk:brainstorm` | Full workflow: plan → TDD → quality gates → PR |
-| **Build hands-free** | `/sk:autopilot` | All 8 steps, auto-skip, auto-advance, auto-commit |
-| **Full-stack feature (parallel)** | `/sk:team` | Parallel domain agents (backend + frontend + QA) |
-| **Make a small change** | `/sk:fast-track` | Skip planning, keep all quality gates |
-| **Fix a bug** | `/sk:debug` | Investigate → regression test → fix → gates → PR |
-| **Fix a production emergency** | `/sk:hotfix` | Skip TDD, but quality gates still enforced |
-| **Handle a requirement change** | `/sk:change` | Assess scope, re-enter workflow at the right step |
+**Step 5 — Implement** (`/sk:team`)
+Three agents fire simultaneously:
 
----
+```
+backend-dev  (worktree)   → writes AuthTest.php → implements migration, User model, AuthController
+frontend-dev (worktree)   → writes LoginPage.test.ts → implements LoginPage, useAuth composable
+qa-engineer  (background) → writes 14 Playwright E2E scenarios while others implement
+```
 
-## Workflows
+Backend and frontend work in isolated worktrees — zero conflicts. Results merge when both complete.
 
-### Feature Flow — full planning + TDD + all gates
+**Step 6 — Commit** (`/sk:smart-commit`)
+Presents the diff. You approve. Commits.
 
-> Start with: `/sk:brainstorm`
+**Step 7 — Gates** (`/sk:gates`)
+Four batches run:
 
-| Step | Command | What it does | Phase |
-|------|---------|-------------|-------|
-| 1 | `/sk:brainstorm` | Explore requirements, propose approaches | Think |
-| 2 | `/sk:frontend-design` or `/sk:api-design` | *Optional* — UI mockup or API contracts (includes accessibility) | Think |
-| 3 | `/sk:write-plan` | Write decision-complete plan | Think |
-| 4 | `/sk:branch` | Create feature branch | Build |
-| 5 | `/sk:write-tests` + `/sk:execute-plan` | TDD: write failing tests, then implement | Build |
-| 6 | `/sk:smart-commit` | Conventional commit | Build |
-| 7 | `/sk:gates` | All 6 quality gates (parallel batches) | Verify |
-| 8 | `/sk:finish-feature` | Update task, changelog, PR, feature sync, release | Ship |
+```
+Batch 1 (parallel):
+  security-reviewer  → OWASP audit → flags: no rate limit on POST /login
+  performance-optimizer → scans for N+1 → clean
+  linter             → pint auto-fixes formatting
 
----
+Batch 2:
+  test runner        → 97% coverage → adds missing test → 100%
 
-### Fast-Track Flow — skip planning, keep all gates
+Batch 3:
+  code-reviewer      → 7-dimension review → flags: logout doesn't revoke all tokens
 
-> Start with: `/sk:fast-track`
+Batch 4:
+  E2E tester         → runs 14 Playwright scenarios → 14/14 pass
+```
 
-| Step | Command | What it does | Phase |
-|------|---------|-------------|-------|
-| 1 | `/sk:branch` | Create feature branch | Build |
-| 2 | implement directly | No TDD — write code | Build |
-| 3 | `/sk:smart-commit` | Conventional commit | Build |
-| 4 | `/sk:gates` | All quality gates (parallel batches) | Verify |
-| 5 | `/sk:finish-feature` | Changelog + PR | Ship |
+Each failure auto-fixes and re-runs. One squash commit per gate pass.
 
-Guard rails: warns if diff > 300 lines or > 5 new files.
+**Step 8 — Finalize** (`/sk:finish-feature`)
+Changelog updated. PR created. Feature spec synced. Asks about release.
 
 ---
 
-### Bug Fix Flow — investigate first, then fix
-
-> Start with: `/sk:debug`
+### Scenario B — Fixing a Bug
 
-| Step | Command | What it does | Phase |
-|------|---------|-------------|-------|
-| 1 | `/sk:debug` | Reproduce, isolate, hypothesize, verify | Think |
-| 2 | `/sk:branch` | Create fix branch | Build |
-| 3 | `/sk:write-tests` | Regression test that reproduces the bug | Build |
-| 4 | implement the fix | Make regression test pass | Build |
-| 5 | `/sk:smart-commit` | Commit fix + test | Build |
-| 6 | `/sk:gates` | All quality gates (parallel batches) | Verify |
-| 7 | `/sk:finish-feature` | Changelog + PR | Ship |
+Checkout total is wrong when a coupon and tax are both applied.
 
----
+```
+/sk:start fix checkout total wrong when coupon and tax applied
+```
 
-### Hotfix Flow — production emergency
+ShipKit detects `fix` keyword → routes to **debug flow**.
 
-> Start with: `/sk:hotfix`
+The `debugger` agent takes over:
+1. Reproduces: `POST /checkout` with `SAVE20` + CA tax → wrong total
+2. Isolates: `OrderCalculator::applyDiscount()` runs before `TaxService::calculate()`
+3. Hypothesis: discount should apply to subtotal, tax should compute on the discounted subtotal
+4. Verifies: writes a failing unit test proving expected vs actual
+5. Proposes minimal fix in `OrderCalculator.php:47`
 
-| Step | Command | What it does | Phase |
-|------|---------|-------------|-------|
-| 1 | `/sk:debug` | Root-cause analysis | Think |
-| 2 | `/sk:branch` | Create hotfix branch | Build |
-| 3 | implement directly | Fix the issue | Build |
-| 4 | `/sk:smart-commit` | Commit the fix | Build |
-| 5 | `/sk:gates` | All quality gates (parallel batches) | Verify |
-| 6 | `/sk:finish-feature` | Changelog + PR (marked as hotfix) | Ship |
+You approve → fix applied → regression test committed → `/sk:gates` → PR.
 
-After merging: add regression test + lesson to `tasks/lessons.md`.
+After merge, `/sk:learn` captures:
+> "Calculation order matters in pricing pipeline — always test discount + tax combinations together"
 
 ---
 
-### Requirement Change — mid-workflow pivot
-
-> Run: `/sk:change` — it classifies scope and re-enters at the right step
+### Scenario C — Production Hotfix
 
-| Tier | What changed | Example | Re-entry point |
-|------|-------------|---------|----------------|
-| **Tier 1** | Behavior tweak (same scope) | "Delete all" → "Delete users only" | `/sk:write-tests` |
-| **Tier 2** | New requirements (new scope) | "Also add export to CSV" | `/sk:write-plan` |
-| **Tier 3** | Scope shift (rethink) | "Different approach entirely" | `/sk:brainstorm` |
+Login is broken in production (500 error). It's 2am.
 
----
+```
+/sk:start hotfix login 500 error in production
+```
 
-## Quality Gates (`/sk:gates`)
+ShipKit detects `hotfix` + `production` → routes to **hotfix flow** (no TDD ceremony, gates still enforced).
 
-One command runs all 6 gates in parallel batches:
+```
+/sk:debug    → reads Sentry trace → undefined method 'getAuthToken' on User model
+/sk:branch   → hotfix/login-500-missing-auth-token
+```
 
-| Batch | Gates | Why this order |
-|-------|-------|---------------|
-| **1** (parallel) | lint + security + perf | Independent — run simultaneously |
-| **2** | tests | Needs lint fixes first |
-| **3** | code review | Needs deep understanding |
-| **4** | E2E Tests | Needs review fixes |
+Fix applied directly — no brainstorm, no write-tests. Then:
 
-Each gate auto-fixes and re-runs until clean. Fixes are squashed into one commit per gate pass. If a gate fails 3 times, it stops and asks for help.
+```
+/sk:gates    → all gates pass
+/sk:finish-feature → PR marked as hotfix
+```
 
-Pre-existing issues are logged to `tasks/tech-debt.md` — not fixed inline.
+After merge: add regression test + lesson to `tasks/lessons.md`. Never skip this step.

-| `/sk:safety-guard` | `/sk:safety-guard freeze --dir src/` | Lock edits to `src/` only |
-| `/sk:safety-guard` | `/sk:safety-guard guard --dir src/` | Both careful + freeze combined |
-| `/sk:safety-guard` | `/sk:safety-guard off` | Disable all guards |
-| `/sk:safety-guard` | `/sk:safety-guard status` | Show current mode + blocked action count |

-| `/sk:retro` | After shipping — analyze velocity, blockers, patterns, generate action items |
-| `/sk:seo-audit` | Web projects — SEO audit with source + dev server scanning |
+ShipKit detects `bump` + `dependency` → routes to **fast-track flow** (5 steps, no planning ceremony).
 
-### Documentation & Setup

-## Stack Support
-
-| Area | Supported |
-|------|-----------|
-| **Frameworks** | Laravel, Next.js, Nuxt, React, Vue, Node.js |
-| **Linters** | Pint, ESLint, PHPStan, Rector, Prettier, Biome |

-| **Schema / ORM** | Prisma, Drizzle, Eloquent, SQLAlchemy, ActiveRecord |
-| **Release** | npm, Composer, iOS (App Store), Android (Play Store) |
-
----
+### Scenario E — Requirement Changed Mid-Way
 
-## Code Navigation (LSP)
+You're implementing a payment feature and the stakeholder adds "also support PayPal" after the plan is already written.
 
-ShipKit configures LSP (Language Server Protocol) automatically — giving Claude Code go-to-definition, find-references, hover, and diagnostics instead of plain text search.
+```
+/sk:change
+```
 
-**`/sk:setup-claude`** and **`/sk:setup-optimizer`** both run an LSP Integration step that:
-- Sets `ENABLE_LSP_TOOL=1` in `~/.claude/settings.json`
-- Detects your stack and installs the appropriate language server
+ShipKit classifies the scope change:
 
-| Stack | Language Server |
-|-------|----------------|
-| TypeScript / JavaScript | `typescript-language-server` |
-| PHP | `intelephense` |
-| Python | `pylsp` |
-| Go | `gopls` |
-| Rust | `rust-analyzer` |
-| Swift | `sourcekit-lsp` |
+| Tier | What it means | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Tier 1** | Behavior tweak, same scope | "Delete all" → "Delete users only" → re-enter at Write Tests |
+| **Tier 2** | New requirements added | "Also add PayPal support" → re-enter at Write Plan |
+| **Tier 3** | Scope shift, rethink needed | "Different approach entirely" → re-enter at Brainstorm |
 
-**Rule:** Prefer LSP over `rg`/Grep for code navigation. Use `rg` only when LSP is unavailable or for arbitrary text/pattern matching.
+PayPal support = Tier 2. ShipKit revises the plan and re-enters at Step 3.

-## MCP Servers & Plugins
-
-Both `/sk:setup-claude` and `/sk:setup-optimizer` offer to install three tools that enhance Claude Code's reasoning, knowledge, and session visibility. All are opt-in and idempotent.
+## The 13 Agents
 
-### Sequential Thinking MCP
+Agents are specialized sub-agents deployed to `.claude/agents/` by `/sk:setup-claude`. They are **explicitly invoked** by the workflow skills — not guessed. Each has its own memory, model, and isolation settings.
 
-**Why it exists:** Complex problems — architecture decisions, multi-step debugging, tasks with many constraints — benefit from structured reasoning. Without it, Claude works through hard problems in a single pass, which can miss steps or lose track of constraints.
+### Implementation Agents — build things
 
-**What it does:** Gives Claude a dedicated reasoning scratchpad. It thinks through steps sequentially before responding, without cluttering your conversation with the intermediate work.
+| Agent | Invoked by | What it does |
+|---|---|---|
+| `backend-dev` | `sk:team` Step 2 | Writes backend tests (TDD red) then implements API, services, models in a worktree |
+| `frontend-dev` | `sk:team` Step 2 | Writes frontend tests then implements components, pages, composables in a worktree |
+| `mobile-dev` | `sk:team` Step 2 (mobile scope) | React Native / Expo / Flutter — mobile patterns, permissions, store prep |
 
-**Benefit:** More coherent, thorough responses on hard problems. Especially useful during `/sk:brainstorm`, `/sk:debug`, and `/sk:review`.
+### Quality Agents — find and fix problems
 
-**How it's installed:** Adds `@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking` to `~/.mcp.json` (global, applies to all projects).

-### Context7
+### Design Agents — plan before building
 
-**Why it exists:** Claude's training has a knowledge cutoff. When you're working with libraries that release frequently — React, Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn/ui — Claude's suggestions can reference outdated APIs, deprecated methods, or patterns that no longer apply.
+| Agent | Invoked by | What it does |
+|---|---|---|
+| `architect` | `sk:brainstorming` (complex tasks) | Proposes 2-3 architectural approaches with trade-offs before `/sk:write-plan` (read-only) |
+| `database-architect` | `sk:schema-migrate` Phase 0 | Migration safety analysis, index recommendations, breaking change flags (read-only) |
 
-**What it does:** Fetches current, version-accurate documentation for libraries you're using and injects it into Claude's context at the moment it's needed.
+### Operations Agents — infrastructure and maintenance
 
-**Benefit:** Accurate code suggestions for the actual version you're running. No more `useEffect` patterns from React 17 when you're on React 19.
+| Agent | Invoked by | What it does |
+|---|---|---|
+| `devops-engineer` | `sk:ci` | Generates CI/CD workflow files in a worktree — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Docker |
+| `debugger` | `sk:debug` | Structured root-cause analysis: reproduce → isolate → hypothesize → verify → fix |
+| `refactor-specialist` | On demand | Behavior-preserving cleanups — runs tests before AND after every change |
+| `tech-writer` | `sk:reverse-doc` Phase 3 | README, API docs, architecture docs — reads code first, never invents behavior |
 
-**How it's installed:** Enables `context7@claude-plugins-official` in `~/.claude/settings.json`.
+**Key rule:** Read-only agents (`security-reviewer`, `code-reviewer`, `architect`, `database-architect`) report findings — the main context or a write agent applies fixes. Write agents (`performance-optimizer`, `backend-dev`, `devops-engineer`, etc.) make changes directly in a worktree.
 
-### ccstatusline
+---
 
-**Why it exists:** Knowing your context window %, active model, and current branch at a glance matters. Without it, you have to run `/sk:status` or guess when to `/compact`.
+## Quality Gates
 
-**What it does:** Adds a persistent statusline to the Claude Code CLI showing context window usage, active model, git branch, and current task.
+`/sk:gates` runs all 6 gates in optimized parallel batches. One command replaces six.
 
-**Benefit:** Always-visible session state. Know when you're approaching context limits before it becomes a problem.
+| Batch | Gates | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| **1** (parallel) | lint + `security-reviewer` + `performance-optimizer` | Independent — run simultaneously |
+| **2** | tests (100% coverage on new code) | Needs lint fixes first |
+| **3** | `code-reviewer` (7-dimension) | Needs test confirmation |
+| **4** | E2E (Playwright or agent-browser) | Uses scenarios from `qa-engineer` |
 
-**How it's installed:** Runs `npx ccstatusline@latest` which writes the statusline config to `~/.claude/settings.json`.
+Each gate auto-fixes and re-runs until clean. One squash commit per gate pass. If a gate fails 3 times it stops and asks for help. Pre-existing issues are logged to `tasks/tech-debt.md` — never fixed inline.

-## Highest ROI Workflow — Using Every Feature
-
-This is the recommended workflow that gets the most value from every ShipKit feature. It's not the fastest path — it's the most reliable path over the lifetime of a project.
-
-### One-Time Project Setup (Do This Once)
-
-```bash
-# 1. Install ShipKit globally
-npm install -g @kennethsolomon/shipkit && shipkit
-
-# 2. Bootstrap your project
-/sk:setup-claude
-```
+## Lifecycle Hooks
 
-`/sk:setup-claude` deploys: CLAUDE.md, lifecycle hooks, 13 agent definitions, path-scoped rules, planning files, LSP config, MCP servers (Sequential Thinking, Context7), and ccstatusline.
+Installed by `/sk:setup-claude`. Fire automatically on Claude Code events.
 
-```bash
-# 3. Set up CI (once per repo)
-/sk:ci
-```
+**Always installed:**
 
-`/sk:ci` generates GitHub Actions workflows for auto PR review, issue triage, and nightly security audits. From this point on, every PR gets reviewed by Claude automatically.
+| Hook | When | What it does |
+|---|---|---|
+| `session-start` | Session opens | Loads branch, recent commits, active task, tech debt |
+| `session-stop` | Session closes | Logs accomplishments to `tasks/progress.md` |
+| `pre-compact` | Before context compression | Saves git state |
+| `validate-commit` | Before `git commit` | Validates conventional commit format, detects secrets |
+| `validate-push` | Before `git push` | Warns before pushing to protected branches |
+| `log-agent` | Sub-agent starts | Logs invocations to `tasks/agent-audit.log` |
 
-### Session Start (Every Session)
+**Opt-in:**
 
-The `session-start` hook fires automatically and loads: branch, recent commits, active task, tech debt, and code health. You see the session brief before you type anything.
+| Hook | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `post-edit-format` | Auto-formats with Biome/Prettier/Pint/gofmt after every edit |
+| `config-protection` | Blocks edits to linter/formatter config files |
+| `console-log-warning` | Warns about `console.log`, `dd()`, `var_dump()` in modified files |
+| `cost-tracker` | Logs session metadata to `.claude/sessions/cost-log.jsonl` |
+| `safety-guard` | Enforces `/sk:safety-guard` freeze/careful mode |
 
-If starting on an unfamiliar codebase:
-```
-/sk:reverse-doc architecture src/
-```
-`/sk:reverse-doc` reads your code and generates architecture documentation — maps layers, traces data flow, asks clarifying questions to distinguish intentional design from accidental implementation. Run it once when you join a codebase or after a long break.
+---
 
-### Feature Development (The Core Loop)
+## Path-Scoped Rules
 
-**Step 1 — Before writing the plan, use the `architect` agent on complex tasks:**
-```
-Use the architect agent: analyze the authentication system and propose an approach for adding OAuth
-```
-The `architect` agent reads your findings, lessons, and existing code — then proposes 2-3 options with trade-offs. This prevents architectural mistakes before a single line is written.
+Rule files in `.claude/rules/` auto-activate in Claude Code when you edit matching files — no manual context loading.
 
-**Step 2 — For database changes, use the `database-architect` agent first:**
-```
-Use the database-architect agent: review the proposed users table changes
-```
-Gets you a migration safety classification (Safe / Careful / Breaking), index recommendations, and a deployment plan before `/sk:schema-migrate` runs.
+| Rule file | Activates when editing | Enforces |
+|---|---|---|
+| `laravel.md` | `app/**/*.php`, `routes/**`, `config/**` | Laravel conventions, Eloquent patterns |
+| `react.md` | `**/*.tsx`, `**/*.jsx` | Hooks rules, component patterns, TypeScript strictness |
+| `vue.md` | `**/*.vue`, `resources/js/**` | Composition API only, `<script setup>`, Pinia |
+| `tests.md` | `tests/**`, `**/*.test.*`, `**/*.spec.*` | TDD standards, assertion quality, test isolation |
+| `api.md` | `routes/api.php`, `app/Http/Controllers/**` | RESTful conventions, auth patterns, error shapes |
+| `migrations.md` | `database/migrations/**`, `prisma/**` | Migration safety, reversibility, index naming |
 
-**Step 3 — Run the standard workflow:**
-```
-/sk:start               ← classifies task, routes to optimal flow
-/sk:brainstorm          ← explore requirements, extract checklist
-/sk:write-plan          ← decision-complete plan (auto-generates contracts.md for API tasks)
-/sk:branch              ← feature branch auto-named from task
-/sk:write-tests         ← TDD red: failing tests first
-/sk:execute-plan        ← TDD green: implement to pass tests
-/sk:smart-commit        ← conventional commit with approval
-/sk:gates               ← all 6 quality gates in parallel batches
-/sk:finish-feature      ← changelog + PR + arch log
-```
+---
 
-**For full-stack features — run `/sk:team` instead of execute-plan:**
-```
-/sk:team
-```
-Spawns `backend-dev`, `frontend-dev`, and `qa-engineer` in parallel worktrees. Backend implements the API, frontend mocks and builds UI, QA writes E2E scenarios — simultaneously. Results merge after all complete.
+## MCP Servers
 
-### During Gates — When Things Fail
+Installed optionally by `/sk:setup-claude` and `/sk:setup-optimizer`.
 
-**Perf gate fails with Critical issues:**
-```
-Use the performance-optimizer agent: fix the N+1 queries found in /sk:perf
-```
-The `performance-optimizer` agent reads `tasks/perf-findings.md`, implements fixes, and runs tests to confirm no regression. Works in an isolated worktree.
+| Server | What it does | Best for |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Sequential Thinking** | Structured reasoning scratchpad — Claude thinks through hard problems step-by-step without cluttering the conversation | `/sk:brainstorm`, `/sk:debug`, `/sk:review` |
+| **Context7** | Fetches current, version-accurate docs for libraries you're using — no stale API suggestions | React 19, Next.js 15, Tailwind v4, shadcn/ui |
+| **ccstatusline** | Persistent statusline: context window %, model, git branch, current task | Every session |
 
-**Security gate blocks with High findings:**
-```
-Use the security-reviewer agent: audit the auth changes
-```
-The `security-reviewer` agent runs a focused OWASP audit. Its memory is `user`-scoped — it remembers security patterns across ALL your projects.
+---
 
-**Review gate blocks:**
-```
-Use the code-reviewer agent
-```
-7-dimension review: correctness, security, performance, reliability, design, best practices, testing. Tells you exactly what to fix.
+## On-Demand Tools
 
-### After Shipping
+Use these anytime outside of the main workflow.
 
-```
-/sk:learn               ← extract reusable patterns from the session (confidence-scored)
-/sk:retro               ← velocity, blockers, patterns, 3-5 action items
-```
+### Intelligence
 
-`/sk:learn` is the compounding step. Each session adds patterns that future sessions apply automatically. Over time, you stop repeating the same mistakes.
+| Command | Usage | What it does |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/sk:learn` | `/sk:learn` | Extract reusable patterns from the session with confidence scoring (0.3–0.9) |
+| `/sk:learn` | `/sk:learn --list` | Show all learned patterns |
+| `/sk:eval` | `/sk:eval define auth` | Define eval criteria before coding |
+| `/sk:eval` | `/sk:eval check auth` | Run evals during implementation |
+| `/sk:health` | `/sk:health` | Scorecard across 7 categories (0–70) |
+| `/sk:context-budget` | `/sk:context-budget` | Audit token consumption across skills, agents, CLAUDE.md |
 
-### Maintenance Workflows
+### Session Management
 
-**Codebase cleanup:**
-```
-Use the refactor-specialist agent: clean up the authentication module
-```
-The `refactor-specialist` runs tests before starting, makes behavior-preserving changes one at a time, runs tests after each change, and commits with `refactor(scope): description`. If tests go red, it reverts and reports.
+| Command | Usage | What it does |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/sk:save-session` | `/sk:save-session` | Save branch, task, progress to `.claude/sessions/` |
+| `/sk:resume-session` | `/sk:resume-session --latest` | Restore most recent session |
+| `/sk:context` | `/sk:context` | Load all project context (automatic via hooks) |
 
-**Documentation gaps:**
-```
-Use the tech-writer agent: document the payment service API
-```
-The `tech-writer` reads code first, never invents behavior, and produces README, API docs, or architecture docs in your project's existing style.
+### Safety
 
-**Mobile store submission:**
-```
-Use the mobile-dev agent: prepare the iOS release
-/sk:release --ios
-```
+| Command | Usage | What it does |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/sk:safety-guard` | `careful` | Block destructive commands |
+| `/sk:safety-guard` | `freeze --dir src/` | Lock edits to a directory |
+| `/sk:safety-guard` | `off` | Disable all guards |
 
-**Infrastructure changes:**
-```
-Use the devops-engineer agent: set up Docker for local development
-/sk:ci                  ← or update CI workflows
-```
+### Code Quality
 
-### Health Checks (Weekly/Monthly)
+| Command | When to use |
+|---|---|
+| `/sk:scope-check` | Mid-implementation — detect scope creep |
+| `/sk:retro` | After shipping — velocity, blockers, action items |
+| `/sk:seo-audit` | Web projects — SEO audit against source + dev server |
 
-```
-/sk:health              ← scorecard across 7 categories (0-70)
-/sk:setup-optimizer     ← update CLAUDE.md, deploy missing agents/rules/hooks
-```
+### Setup & Docs
 
-`/sk:health` scores your project setup. `< 50` means you're leaving significant reliability on the table. `/sk:setup-optimizer` fixes the gaps.
+| Command | When to use |
+|---|---|
+| `/sk:reverse-doc` | New to a codebase — generate architecture/design/API docs from existing code |
+| `/sk:setup-optimizer` | Monthly — update CLAUDE.md, deploy missing agents, hooks, rules |
+| `/sk:ci` | Once per repo — GitHub Actions or GitLab CI with PR review + nightly audits |
+| `/sk:plugin` | Distribute — package custom skills/agents/hooks as a shareable Claude Code plugin |
+| `/sk:mvp` | New idea — generate a complete MVP app from a single prompt |
+| `/sk:website` | Client work — build a full multi-page marketing site from a brief or URL |
