Modern UI design system and guidelines for building clean, professional interfaces. Use when creating or modifying any UI components, web pages, React components, HTML/CSS, or visual interfaces. Ensures consistent, modern design with proper spacing, typography, colors, and interaction patterns.

Expert system for designing and architecting AI agent workflows based on proven Meta methodologies. Use when building AI agents, designing multi-agent systems, integrating tools into agent architectures, choosing between single vs. multi-agent setups, or translating a business problem into an agentic solution. Triggers on: "build an agent", "design agent workflow", "multi-agent system", "agent architecture", "how should I structure this agent". Covers 9-step building process, 8-layer architecture framework, MCP integration, and pitfall avoidance.

Designs REST and GraphQL APIs following production best practices for resource naming, error handling, versioning, authentication, and documentation. Use this skill when designing new API endpoints, reviewing API contracts, implementing GraphQL schemas, establishing API conventions for a project, or writing API documentation. Apply when creating any route in Next.js API routes or route handlers, any Supabase Edge Function, or any backend endpoint — even if it starts small, these patterns prevent painful rewrites later.

Autonomously optimize any Claude Code skill by running it repeatedly, scoring outputs against binary evals, mutating the prompt, and keeping improvements. Based on Karpathy's autoresearch methodology. Use when: optimize this skill, improve this skill, run autoresearch on, make this skill better, self-improve skill, benchmark skill, eval my skill, run evals on. Outputs: an improved SKILL.md, a results log, and a changelog of every mutation tried.

Expert Socratic discovery skill for exploring ideas, architecture decisions, and technical design before writing any code. Use this skill — proactively and always first — when requirements are vague, when the user is debating between technical approaches, when the problem is unclear, or when a design decision could have significant architectural consequences. Triggers on: "should we use X or Y", "help me think through", "I'm not sure how to approach this", "what's the best architecture for", "trade-offs between", "design before I code", "let's think through this", "I have an idea", "how should I structure", "help me design", "I want to build X but not sure how", "what approach would you recommend", "is this the right way to". Produces a validated design doc with 2-3 implementation options, trade-offs, and a recommendation. Always use before planning when the approach is not yet locked.
