api-design-patterns
Comprehensive REST and GraphQL API design patterns with versioning, pagination, error handling, and HATEOAS principles. Use when designing APIs, defining endpoints, or architecting service contracts requiring production-grade patterns.
NickCrewterraform-best-practices
Terraform infrastructure-as-code best practices for scalable and maintainable cloud infrastructure. Use when writing Terraform modules, managing infrastructure state, or implementing infrastructure automation at scale.
NickCrewcondition-based-waiting
Use when tests have race conditions, timing dependencies, or inconsistent pass/fail behavior - replaces arbitrary timeouts with condition polling to wait for actual state changes, eliminating flaky tests from timing guesses
NickCrewimplementation-workflow
Use when turning PRDs or feature specs into actionable implementation workflows - provides structured task decomposition, dependency mapping, and validation gates.
NickCrewgitops-workflows
GitOps workflows and patterns using ArgoCD and Flux for declarative Kubernetes deployments. Use when implementing CI/CD for Kubernetes, managing multi-environment deployments, or adopting declarative infrastructure practices.
NickCrewsharing-skills
Use when you've developed a broadly useful skill and want to contribute it upstream via pull request - guides process of branching, committing, pushing, and creating PR to contribute skills back to upstream repository
NickCrewreasoning-controls
Use when adjusting reasoning depth, budgets, or metrics visibility - provides guidance for selecting and applying reasoning controls safely.
NickCrewkubernetes-security-policies
Kubernetes security policies, RBAC, and Pod Security Standards for hardened cluster deployments. Use when implementing cluster security, defining network policies, or enforcing security compliance in Kubernetes environments.
NickCrewthreat-modeling-techniques
Threat modeling methodologies using STRIDE, attack trees, and risk assessment for proactive security analysis. Use when designing secure systems, conducting security reviews, or identifying potential attack vectors in applications.
NickCrewkubernetes-deployment-patterns
Kubernetes deployment strategies and workload patterns for production-grade applications. Use when deploying to Kubernetes, implementing rollout strategies, or designing cloud-native application architectures.
NickCrewmulti-llm-consult
Consult external LLMs (Gemini, OpenAI/Codex, Qwen) for second opinions, alternative plans, independent reviews, or delegated tasks. Use when a user asks for another model's perspective, wants to compare answers, or requests delegating a subtask to Gemini/Codex/Qwen.
NickCrewevent-driven-architecture
Event-driven architecture patterns with event sourcing, CQRS, and message-driven communication. Use when designing distributed systems, microservices communication, or systems requiring eventual consistency and scalability.
NickCrewrepo-cleanup
Use when a repository needs cleanup of dead code, build artifacts, unused dependencies, outdated docs, or stale tests - provides safe cleanup workflows, validation steps, and reporting templates for code, deps, docs, tests, and sprint archives.
NickCrewcode-explanation
Use when explaining code, concepts, or system behavior to a specific audience level - provides a structured explanation workflow with depth control and validation steps.
NickCrewvisual-modes
Use when activating visual showcase modes (supersaiyan, kamehameha, over9000) for UI or interaction design - provides mode-specific enhancement checklists.
NickCrewui-design-aesthetics
Generates high-quality, non-generic UI designs with a focus on performance, progressive disclosure, and distinctive aesthetics.
NickCrewdatabase-design-patterns
Database schema design patterns and optimization strategies for relational and NoSQL databases. Use when designing database schemas, optimizing query performance, or implementing data persistence layers at scale.
NickCrewowasp-top-10
OWASP Top 10 security vulnerabilities with detection and remediation patterns. Use when conducting security audits, implementing secure coding practices, or reviewing code for common security vulnerabilities.
NickCrewdev-workflows
Use when running builds, executing tests, or improving developer experience workflows - provides structured guidance for build/test execution and DX improvement.
NickCrewsecure-coding-practices
Secure coding practices and defensive programming patterns for building security-first applications. Use when implementing authentication, handling user input, managing sensitive data, or conducting secure code reviews.
NickCrewgit-ops
Use when performing git operations or generating smart commit messages - provides safe git workflow guidance, validation checks, and conventional commit formatting.
