to-spec

A hot skill for turning loose requests into a concrete implementation spec before handing work to a coding agent.

It forces the decision-making upstream, where agents need less improvisation and produce fewer surprises.

teach

A trending skill that asks an agent to explain a codebase or concept in a structured way instead of dropping a generic answer.

Good for getting new operators productive in an unfamiliar repo without turning onboarding into a week of Slack archaeology.
