AI & Automation Listed

nav-install-multi-claude

DEPRECATED. The multi-Claude orchestration scripts are deprecated in favor of native Claude Code Workflows; no installation is needed. Auto-invokes on "install multi-Claude workflows", "set up multi-Claude", "enable parallel execution" to explain the deprecation.

nav-loop

Run tasks until complete with structured completion signals. Auto-invoke when user says "run until done", "keep going until complete", "iterate until finished", "loop mode", "autonomous mode".

nav-marker

Create context save points to preserve conversation state before breaks, risky changes, or compaction. Use when user says "save my progress", "create checkpoint", "mark this point", or before clearing context.

AI & Automation Listed

nav-multi

DEPRECATED. Multi-Claude shell orchestration is superseded by native Claude Code Workflows. Auto-invokes on "run multi-agent workflow", "parallel agents for", "multi-claude for", "spawn agents for" to redirect the user to the native Workflow and Agent tools.

nav-onboard

Interactive onboarding for Navigator - learn by doing. Auto-invoke when user says "onboard me", "teach me Navigator", "how do I use Navigator", "Navigator tutorial", "learn Navigator", "new to Navigator", or "what skills should I use".

nav-pilot

Dispatch a Navigator task doc to Pilot as a labeled GitHub issue. Use when user says "dispatch TASK-XX to Pilot", "hand off to Pilot", "send to Pilot", or "queue for Pilot". One-way handoff (Navigator authors the spec, Pilot executes autonomously).

nav-profile

Manage user preferences and corrections for bilateral modeling. Auto-learns from session corrections. Use when user says "save my preferences", "remember I like...", or auto-triggers after corrections.

nav-release

Validate and release Navigator plugin to marketplace. Auto-invoke when user says "release plugin", "publish navigator", "create release", or "deploy new version".
