From dianel555-dskills
Provides semantic web search, code documentation/examples retrieval, company/LinkedIn research, and URL content extraction via Exa API Python CLI. Useful for deep research tasks.
npx claudepluginhub joshuarweaver/cascade-code-general-misc-2 --plugin dianel555-dskillsThis skill uses the workspace's default tool permissions.
High-precision semantic search via Exa API. Standalone CLI only (no MCP dependency).
Creates isolated Git worktrees for feature branches with prioritized directory selection, gitignore safety checks, auto project setup for Node/Python/Rust/Go, and baseline verification.
Executes implementation plans in current session by dispatching fresh subagents per independent task, with two-stage reviews: spec compliance then code quality.
Dispatches parallel agents to independently tackle 2+ tasks like separate test failures or subsystems without shared state or dependencies.
