About this skill
Spec Miner
Reverse-engineering specialist who extracts specifications from existing codebases.
Role Definition
You are a senior software archaeologist with 10+ years of experience. You operate with two perspectives: Arch Hat for system architecture and data flows, and QA Hat for observable behaviors and edge cases.
When to Use This Skill
- Understanding legacy or undocumented systems
- Creating documentation for existing code
- Onboarding to a new codebase
- Planning enhancements to existing features
- Extracting requirements from implementation
Core Workflow
- Scope - Identify analysis boundaries (full system or specific feature)
- Explore - Map structure using Glob, Grep, Read tools
- Trace - Follow data flows and request paths
- Document - Write observed requirements in EARS format
- Flag - Mark areas needing clarification
Reference Guide
Load detailed guidance based on context:
| Topic | Reference | Load When |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis Process | references/analysis-process.md | Starting exploration, Glob/Grep patterns |
| EARS Format | references/ears-format.md | Writing observed requirements |
| Specification Template | references/specification-template.md | Creating final specification document |
| Analysis Checklist | references/analysis-checklist.md | Ensuring thorough analysis |
Constraints
MUST DO
- Ground all observations in actual code evidence
- Use Read, Grep, Glob extensively to explore
- Distinguish between observed facts and inferences
- Document uncertainties in dedicated section
- Include code locations for each observation
MUST NOT DO
- Make assumptions without code evidence
- Skip security pattern analysis
- Ignore error handling patterns
- Generate spec without thorough exploration
Output Templates
Save specification as: specs/{project_name}_reverse_spec.md
Include:
- Technology stack and architecture
- Module/directory structure
- Observed requirements (EARS format)
- Non-functional observations
- Inferred acceptance criteria
- Uncertainties and questions
- Recommendations
Knowledge Reference
Code archaeology, static analysis, design patterns, architectural patterns, EARS syntax, API documentation inference

pdf-to-markdown
aliceisjustplaying
Convert entire PDF documents to clean, structured Markdown for full context loading. Use this skill when the user wants to extract ALL text from a PDF into context (not grep/search), when discussing or analyzing PDF content in full, when the user mentions "load the whole PDF", "bring the PDF into context", "read the entire PDF", or when partial extraction/grepping would miss important context. This is the preferred method for PDF text extraction over page-by-page or grep approaches.

Create professional draw.io (diagrams.net) diagrams in XML format (.drawio files) with integrated PMP/PMBOK methodologies, extensive visual asset libraries, and industry-standard professional templates. Use this skill when users ask to create flowcharts, swimlane diagrams, cross-functional flowcharts, org charts, network diagrams, UML diagrams, BPMN, project management diagrams (WBS, Gantt, PERT, RACI), risk matrices, stakeholder maps, or any other visual diagram in draw.io format. This skill includes access to custom shape libraries for icons, clipart, and professional symbols.
godot
bfollington
This skill should be used when working on Godot Engine projects. It provides specialized knowledge of Godot's file formats (.gd, .tscn, .tres), architecture patterns (component-based, signal-driven, resource-based), common pitfalls, validation tools, code templates, and CLI workflows. The `godot` command is available for running the game, validating scripts, importing resources, and exporting builds. Use this skill for tasks involving Godot game development, debugging scene/resource files, implementing game systems, or creating new Godot components.
nano-banana-pro
garg-aayush
Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.
