diff

Use when someone asks to explain or review a GitHub pull request as an evidence-linked, self-contained offline HTML review.

align

Use before implementation when requirements, scope, design, expected behavior, or an important assumption needs shared agreement.

toxic-review

Use for a strict, skeptical, risk-focused review of a named work product without attacking people or inventing criticism.

Use only when someone explicitly invokes $hope:sweep in Codex, /hope:sweep in Claude Code, or the host's explicit Hope Sweep command to apply behavior-preserving maintenance across a codebase and its directly supporting material. Do not use for ordinary maintenance questions, reviews, planning, bug fixes, feature changes, or product decisions.

polish

Use after a work product or code change is complete when someone asks to polish, simplify, clean up, deduplicate, consolidate, refactor, or improve efficiency without changing settled behavior, meaning, or public contracts. Review a named target or the current repository change set with independent cleanup scouts, let a fresh finisher apply one bounded local improvement pass by default, and verify it. Do not use for initial implementation, requested feature changes, bug hunting, architecture migrations, or broad maintenance sweeps.

write

Use as the cross-cutting language standard whenever clearer language would improve any task, including standalone drafts, edits, and reviews and language within implementation or another Skill; preserve meaning, facts, uncertainty, citations, exact text, and voice.
