## 🤖 Building Blocks for Agent Templates
On May 5, 2026, Anthropic [released their first agent templates](https://www.anthropic.com/news/finance-agents) — pre-packaged Claude agents that combine **skills, connectors, and subagents** into ready-to-run workflows for financial services.
This library is the largest open-source collection of professional skills available — covering 15 professions beyond financial services. **The 106 skills here are the building blocks for agent templates outside of finance.**
### What is an agent template?
An agent template packages three things into one runnable workflow:
| Component | What it is | Example from this library |
|---|---|---|
| **Skills** | Markdown files that teach Claude how to produce structured professional outputs | `sprint-planning`, `contract-review`, `investor-update` |
| **Connectors** | Governed access to your team's data sources | Linear, Jira, Slack, Google Drive, Notion |
| **Subagents** | Focused Claude models for sub-tasks within the larger workflow | Capacity analyst, risk scorer, comparables selector |
A skill alone gives Claude a structured output format. An agent template gives Claude a complete workflow — pulling data, running specialised analysis, producing the output, and routing it where it needs to go.
### How to use this library to build your own agent template
Pick a recurring workflow on your team. Identify which existing skills cover the structured outputs that workflow needs. Add the connectors that let Claude reach the data. Add subagents for the analytical sub-tasks. That's the template.
Examples of agent templates this library supports:
| Template | Skills used | Connectors needed | Subagents |
|---|---|---|---|
| **PM Sprint Agent** | sprint-planning, sprint-brief, retro, project-status-report | Linear or Jira, Slack | Capacity analyst, risk scorer |
| **Legal Contract Review Agent** | contract-review, nda-analyser, compliance-checklist | Google Drive or SharePoint | Clause-by-clause risk scorer |
| **PM Discovery Agent** | discovery-interview-guide, user-interview-synthesis, assumption-mapper | Granola or Otter, Notion | Theme synthesiser |
| **Sales Pursuit Agent** | sales-battlecard, discovery-call-prep, proposal-writer, account-plan | Salesforce or HubSpot, Gong | Competitive intel analyst |
| **HR Onboarding Agent** | onboarding-plan, job-description-writer, change-management-plan | Workday or BambooHR, Slack | First-week scheduler |
| **Finance Board Pack Agent** | investor-update, board-deck-narrative, financial-model-narrative | NetSuite or Xero, Google Drive | KPI variance analyst |
| **Marketing Launch Agent** | go-to-market, content-calendar, email-campaign, media-pitch | HubSpot, Notion | Channel strategist |
### Available agent templates
The pm-claude-skills library now includes four working agent templates, each built from existing skills in this library combined with subagents and connectors. All four follow the architecture Anthropic introduced for [financial services agent templates](https://www.anthropic.com/news/finance-agents) on May 5, 2026.
| Template | What it does | Skills used | Connectors | Time saved |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **[PM Sprint Agent](./templates/pm-sprint-agent/)** | End-to-end sprint planning — pulls backlog, calculates capacity, drafts plan, scores risks | sprint-planning, sprint-brief | Linear, Jira | 90 min → 90 sec |
| **[PM Discovery Agent](./templates/pm-discovery-agent/)** | Customer discovery synthesis — reads interview notes, finds themes, scores assumption confidence | user-interview-synthesis, job-story-mapper | Notion, Google Drive | 1 day → 5 min |
| **[PM Stakeholder Comms Agent](./templates/pm-stakeholder-comms-agent/)** | Audience-tailored stakeholder updates — exec, investor, cross-functional, or board | executive-update, investor-update, stakeholder-update, board-deck-narrative | Linear, Jira, Google Drive | 90 min → 1 min |
| **[PM Launch Agent](./templates/pm-launch-agent/)** | End-to-end launch coordination — content for every channel, calendar, metrics, checklist | go-to-market, content-calendar, media-pitch, email-campaign, launch-checklist | Notion (optional) | 4-6 hours → 3 min |
Each template includes:
- Working orchestration script
- Two or more focused subagents
- Connector configurations with documented setup
- Working examples (input + output)
- Smoke test for verifying installations
### How to install a template
All templates are part of the main library — installing the marketplace gives you all four.
/plugin marketplace add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills
Then navigate to the template you want and follow its README:
cd templates/pm-sprint-agent # or pm-discovery-agent, etc.
cat README.md # full setup instructions
### Building your own template
If you want to build a template for a workflow not covered above — Legal Contract Review, Sales Pursuit, Finance Board Pack, HR Onboarding, Marketing Campaign — see the [template contribution guide](./templates/CONTRIBUTING.md).
The pattern is consistent: pick a multi-step workflow, identify which existing skills cover the structured outputs, add connectors for data access, and define subagents for specialised analysis. The four templates above are reference implementations.
It combines four skills, two connectors, and two subagents into a single workflow that handles end-to-end sprint planning.
Documentation, working orchestration script, and example outputs are included in the template folder.
More templates will follow. If you want to contribute one, see the [template contribution guide](./templates/CONTRIBUTING.md).

# Experiment Designer Skill
## Purpose
Produce rigorous experiment designs from product hypotheses, and interpret
results with statistical and practical significance — so you can defend every
decision to a sceptical engineering lead or data scientist.
Produce rigorous experiment designs from product hypotheses, and interpret results with statistical and practical significance — so you can defend every decision to a sceptical engineering lead or data scientist.
## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
**For experiment design:**
- Hypothesis (what change, what metric, what expected movement)
- Current baseline metric value
- Minimum detectable effect (MDE) — the smallest lift worth caring about
- Available daily sample size
**For results interpretation:**
- Control and variant results (raw numbers or percentages)
- P-value or confidence interval
- Run duration (days)
- Any anomalies observed during the test
## Two-Phase Process
### Phase 1: Experiment Design
**Required inputs:** hypothesis, primary metric, current baseline, minimum
detectable effect (MDE), available sample size per day.
**Output:**
- Hypothesis restated as: "If we [change], we expect [metric] to [move by X%]
because [reason]"
- Control and variant definitions
- Primary metric (one only)
- Secondary guardrail metrics (2-3 max)
- Required sample size (calculated from MDE and baseline)
- Estimated run time in days
- Pre-defined success criteria (before the test runs — no moving goalposts)
- Design risk flags: novelty effects, seasonal confounds, multiple testing issues,
network effects, sample ratio mismatch risks
1. Restate hypothesis as: "If we [change], we expect [metric] to [move by X%] because [reason]"
2. Define control and variant clearly
3. Select primary metric (one only) and secondary guardrail metrics (2-3 max)
4. Calculate required sample size from MDE and baseline
5. Estimate run time in days
6. Set pre-defined success criteria before the test runs — no moving goalposts
7. Flag design risks: novelty effects, seasonal confounds, multiple testing issues, network effects, sample ratio mismatch
### Phase 2: Results Interpretation
**Required inputs:** control results, variant results, p-value or raw numbers,
run duration, any anomalies observed.
1. Assess statistical significance (p < 0.05 threshold)
2. Assess practical significance: was the lift meaningful for the business, not just real?
3. Interpret confidence intervals
4. Investigate confounding factors
5. Recommend: Ship / Iterate / Kill / Run follow-up test
6. **Validate** — Confirm the test ran for the full planned duration. Flag if it was stopped early (peeking problem). Confirm sample ratio mismatch did not occur.
**Output:**
- Statistical significance assessment (p < 0.05 threshold)
- Practical significance: was the lift meaningful for the business, not just real?
- Confidence interval interpretation
- Confounding factors to investigate
- Recommendation: Ship / Iterate / Kill / Run follow-up test
- If "Iterate": specific hypotheses to test next
## Output Structure
**[Design or Results header based on phase]**
*Hypothesis:* "If we [change], we expect [metric] to [move by X%] because [reason]"
*Primary metric:* [One metric only]
*Guardrail metrics:* [2-3 max]
*Required sample size:* [n per variant]
*Estimated run time:* [days]
*Pre-defined success threshold:* [specific number]
*Design risk flags:* [any concerns]
**Results (Phase 2 only):**
*Statistical significance:* [p-value and conclusion]
*Practical significance:* [lift size vs. business threshold]
*Recommendation:* Ship / Iterate / Kill / Follow-up — [rationale]
## Quality Checks
- Never interpret results from an underpowered test without flagging it
- Always distinguish statistical from practical significance
- Flag if test was stopped early (peeking problem)
- Note if sample ratio mismatch occurred
- [ ] Hypothesis specifies the change, the metric, the direction, and the reason
- [ ] Primary metric is singular — guardrail metrics are secondary
- [ ] Success criteria are defined before the test launches (not after seeing results)
- [ ] Test was not stopped early (or flagged clearly if it was)
- [ ] Practical significance assessed separately from statistical significance
- [ ] Sample ratio mismatch is checked in results interpretation

# Multi-Source Signal Synthesiser Skill
## Purpose
Reconcile user signals from multiple sources — interviews, support tickets, NPS,
app reviews, sales calls — into a unified, weighted insight brief that surfaces
the underlying need rather than the surface-level request.
Reconcile user signals from multiple sources — interviews, support tickets, NPS, app reviews, sales calls — into a unified, weighted insight brief that surfaces the underlying need rather than the surface-level request.
## Source Weighting (default — adapt to your context)
- Direct research (interviews, usability tests): weight 5
- Support tickets (unprompted pain signals): weight 4
- NPS verbatims: weight 3
- App store reviews: weight 2
- Sales call summaries (filtered through sales lens): weight 2
- Anecdote or single report: weight 1
## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **Signal sources** (interviews, support tickets, NPS verbatims, app reviews, sales calls, analytics — any combination)
- **Time period** covered by the data
- **Product area or feature** the signals relate to (if scoped)
## Source Weighting (default — adapt to context)
| Source | Weight | Rationale |
|--------|--------|-----------|
| Direct research (interviews, usability tests) | 5 | Highest-fidelity, structured |
| Support tickets (unprompted pain signals) | 4 | Real pain, unfiltered |
| NPS verbatims | 3 | Broad but shallow |
| App store reviews | 2 | Public, self-selected |
| Sales call summaries | 2 | Filtered through sales lens |
| Anecdote or single report | 1 | Low confidence alone |
## Process
1. Accept inputs from any combination of the source types above
2. Tag each signal by source and apply weight
3. Look for CONVERGENCE: same underlying need appearing across 3+ sources
4. Look for DIVERGENCE: contradictory signals suggesting user segmentation
5. Distinguish surface request from underlying need
(e.g. "faster export" may mean "I don't trust the data will be there when
I need it")
6. Produce ranked insights by weighted frequency
1. Tag each signal by source and apply weight
2. Look for **convergence**: same underlying need appearing across 3+ sources
3. Look for **divergence**: contradictory signals suggesting user segmentation
4. Distinguish surface request from underlying need (e.g. "faster export" may mean "I don't trust the data will be there when I need it")
5. Produce ranked insights by weighted frequency
6. **Validate** — Confirm each insight has evidence from at least 2 source types. Flag any insight resting on a single source as low-confidence.

## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **Product and business model** (SaaS / consumer app / marketplace / other)
- **Current retention metrics** (D1, D7, D30 if available)
- **Segment to analyse** (all users / paid / free / a specific cohort)
- **Key question to answer** (why is retention dropping? what drives retention?)
- **Available data** (analytics events, churn surveys, interview notes)
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Retention curve shape is diagnosed (flattening vs trending to zero = PMF vs onboarding)
- [ ] Cohorts are segmented before analysis (not all users lumped together)
- [ ] "Aha moment" correlation is identified or flagged as unknown
- [ ] Interventions are specific (not "improve onboarding")
- [ ] Churned user interviews are recommended (not just data analysis)
- [ ] Monitoring plan includes an alert threshold
## Guidelines
- Never recommend "improve onboarding" without specifying *what* to change and *why*

# Churn Analysis Skill
Produce a structured churn analysis that goes beyond the headline rate — identifying why customers leave, which segments are most at risk, and what interventions will have the highest impact on retention.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not already provided:
- **Time period** being analysed (e.g. Q1, last 12 months)
- **Total customers at start of period** and **customers churned**
- **ARR or revenue lost** to churn
- **Churn reasons data** — exit survey results, CSM notes, support data, or sales loss reasons
- **Customer segments** — by tier, industry, cohort, or product line
- **Current retention rate** if known
- **Any recent changes** — pricing, product, support model — that may have affected churn
## Churn Categories
Always classify churn before analysing it:
| Category | Definition |
|---|---|
| **Voluntary — avoidable** | Customer left due to a problem we could have addressed (product gaps, poor onboarding, relationship failures) |
| **Voluntary — unavoidable** | Customer left for reasons outside our control (budget cuts, acquisition, company shutdown) |
| **Involuntary** | Payment failure, contract non-renewal by mistake, admin error |
The interventions for each category are different. Conflating them leads to wrong conclusions.
## Output Format
---
# Churn Analysis: [Product / Segment / Company]
**Period:** [Start date] — [End date]
**Prepared by:** [Name] | **Date:** [Date]
---
## Headline Numbers
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Customers at start of period | [N] |
| Customers churned | [N] |
| **Customer churn rate** | **[X]%** |
| ARR at start of period | £/$/€[X] |
| ARR lost to churn | £/$/€[X] |
| **Revenue churn rate (gross)** | **[X]%** |
| ARR from expansions (same period) | £/$/€[X] |
| **Net revenue retention (NRR)** | **[X]%** |
**Benchmark context:**
- Customer churn rate: [X]% vs. industry benchmark [Y]% — [above / below / in line]
- NRR: [X]% — [What this means: above 100% = expansion offsets churn; below 100% = shrinking base]
---
## Churn Breakdown by Category
| Category | Customers | % of churn | ARR lost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voluntary — avoidable | [N] | [X]% | £/$/€[X] |
| Voluntary — unavoidable | [N] | [X]% | £/$/€[X] |
| Involuntary | [N] | [X]% | £/$/€[X] |
| **Total** | **[N]** | **100%** | **£/$/€[X]** |
**Avoidable churn as % of total churn:** [X]% — this is the number we can actually influence.
---
## Churn Reasons — Avoidable Churn Only
Rank by frequency. Include ARR weight where data allows.
| Reason | Count | % of avoidable churn | ARR lost | Representative quote |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Reason 1 — e.g. "Product missing key feature"] | [N] | [X]% | £/$/€[X] | "[Quote]" |
| [Reason 2] | [N] | [X]% | £/$/€[X] | "[Quote]" |
| [Reason 3] | [N] | [X]% | £/$/€[X] | "[Quote]" |
| [Reason 4] | [N] | [X]% | £/$/€[X] | "[Quote]" |
| Other | [N] | [X]% | £/$/€[X] | — |
**Theme synthesis:** [23 sentences grouping the top reasons into 23 themes. E.g. "The top three reasons cluster around two themes: product gaps in [area] (affecting X% of avoidable churn) and onboarding failures where customers never achieved value (Y%)."]
---
## Churn by Segment
Identify which segments over- or under-index for churn.
### By Tier
| Tier | Churn rate | vs. Overall | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | [X]% | +/-[X]pp | |
| Mid-Market | [X]% | +/-[X]pp | |
| SMB | [X]% | +/-[X]pp | |
### By Cohort (Acquisition Year)
| Cohort | Churn rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| [Year 1] | [X]% | |
| [Year 2] | [X]% | |
| [Year 3] | [X]% | |
### By Industry / Use Case (if data available)
| Segment | Churn rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| [Segment 1] | [X]% | |
| [Segment 2] | [X]% | |
**Key pattern:** [Which segment has the highest churn rate and what likely explains it]
---
## Timing Analysis
- **Average contract length before churn:** [X months]
- **Highest-risk moment:** [e.g. "Month 3 — when trial value has worn off but full adoption hasn't happened"]
- **Churn timing distribution:**
| When churn occurred | % of churned accounts |
|---|---|
| 03 months | [X]% |
| 36 months | [X]% |
| 612 months | [X]% |
| 12+ months | [X]% |
---
## Early Warning Signals
Based on the churned accounts, identify the signals that preceded churn (and could have triggered earlier intervention):
| Signal | Lead time before churn | How to detect |
|---|---|---|
| [Signal 1 — e.g. "DAU/MAU dropped below 15%"] | [~X weeks] | [Usage dashboard / alert] |
| [Signal 2 — e.g. "No QBR in 90+ days"] | [~X weeks] | [CRM flag] |
| [Signal 3 — e.g. "Champion left the account"] | [~X weeks] | [LinkedIn alert / CSM tracking] |
| [Signal 4] | [~X weeks] | [Detection method] |
---
## Intervention Recommendations
Ranked by estimated impact × feasibility.
| Intervention | Addresses | Est. churn reduction | Effort | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Intervention 1 — e.g. "Improve onboarding for [segment] with dedicated 30-day check-in"] | [Reason 1] | [X accounts / £X ARR] | Low / Med / High | [Team] |
| [Intervention 2] | [Reason 2] | [X accounts / £X ARR] | Low / Med / High | [Team] |
| [Intervention 3] | [Reason 3] | [X accounts / £X ARR] | Low / Med / High | [Team] |
**Priority call:** [Which one intervention, if implemented this quarter, would have the biggest impact and why]
---
## What We Don't Know (Data Gaps)
- [Data gap 1 — e.g. "Exit survey response rate is only 30% — the reasons data may not be representative"]
- [Data gap 2 — e.g. "No product usage data for SMB tier — can't confirm usage signal correlation"]
- [Data gap 3]
---
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Churn rate is correctly calculated (churned ÷ starting cohort, not end-of-period total)
- [ ] Avoidable and unavoidable churn are separated — interventions target avoidable churn only
- [ ] Churn reasons are customer-reported, not internally assumed
- [ ] Segment analysis identifies which segments over-index — not just averages
- [ ] Early warning signals are specific and detectable, not generic ("low engagement")
- [ ] Interventions link directly to the top churn reasons — no recommendations without a root cause match

# Customer Escalation Brief Skill
Produce a clear, concise escalation brief that gives internal stakeholders — VP CS, CCO, product leadership, or the CEO — everything they need to understand the situation, make decisions, and act fast.
A good escalation brief is not a complaint. It is a professional document that states the facts, assigns accountability honestly, and proposes a specific resolution plan.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not already provided:
- **Account name**, tier, and ARR
- **CSM name** and account owner
- **Nature of the escalation** — what happened, what the customer is saying
- **Timeline** of events leading to escalation
- **Customer contact** who escalated (name, role, influence level)
- **What the customer wants** — their stated ask
- **What we believe the root cause is**
- **What has already been done** to address the situation
- **Renewal date** and current renewal risk assessment
## Escalation Levels
Calibrate urgency and audience based on escalation level:
| Level | Trigger | Audience | Response time |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 — Account Risk | Customer expressing dissatisfaction; renewal at risk | CSM + CS Manager | 24 hours |
| L2 — Executive Escalation | Customer escalated to their exec; requesting vendor exec involvement | VP CS + Account Exec | 4 hours |
| L3 — Churn Risk | Customer has issued notice or is in active churn conversation | CCO / CEO + Revenue leadership | 1 hour |
| L4 — Public Risk | Customer threatening public escalation, legal, or press | CCO / Legal / Comms | Immediate |

List in chronological order. Each entry: `[Date / time] — [What happened. Who did what.]`
Include:
- When the original issue or trigger event occurred
- When the customer first raised concerns (informally)
- When it escalated (formal escalation or exec involvement)
- Actions taken since escalation
---
## Root Cause
**Primary cause:** [One clear sentence. What specifically went wrong.]
**Contributing factors:**
- [Factor 1 — be honest about internal failures as well as external ones]
- [Factor 2]
**Is this a systemic issue or isolated?**
[ ] Isolated to this account
[ ] Pattern seen in other accounts — details: [_______]
[ ] Product or process gap that needs fixing
---
## Customer's Stated Position
**What the customer says happened:** [Their version of events — fair and unfiltered]
**What they are asking for:** [Their explicit ask — compensation, fix by date, exec call, SLA credit, exit clause]
**Sentiment of escalating contact:** [Frustrated but constructive / Angry / Seeking exit / Unknown]
**Risk of public escalation:** Low / Medium / High — [evidence if Medium or High]

**What we are NOT offering:** [Be explicit about what is not on the table — avoids misaligned expectations]
**Success criteria:** [How will we know the escalation is resolved? What does the customer need to confirm they are satisfied?]

## Decision Required from Escalation Owner
[State clearly what decision or resource the escalation owner needs to provide. Be specific — do not make them ask. E.g.: "We need approval to offer a 20% service credit for Q2" or "We need an exec call with [name] within 48 hours."]

## Quality Checks
- [ ] Root cause is specific — not "communication breakdown" or "product gap" without detail
- [ ] Customer's position is stated fairly — not minimised or dismissed
- [ ] A clear decision is requested from the escalation owner — brief does not end with "what do you think?"

- **Goals for next quarter**
- **Any open commercial conversations** (expansion, renewal, at-risk signals)
## QBR Principles
- Lead with customer outcomes, not product features
- Every metric should connect to a business result the customer cares about
- The agenda is a conversation, not a presentation — build in time for customer input at every stage
- Close with mutual commitments, not just vendor actions

name: changelog-generator
description: "Convert a git log, commit list, or release notes into a polished, user-facing changelog. Use when writing release notes, generating a CHANGELOG.md entry, or documenting what changed in a version. Produces a structured changelog section with version header, categorised changes, and migration notes. Optimised for Opus 4.7 and newer models."

# Changelog Generator Skill
Converts raw git commits, a diff summary, or developer release notes into a polished changelog entry — categorised, user-facing, and following Keep a Changelog conventions.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- **Commits or release notes** (paste `git log --oneline`, raw commit messages, or a description of what changed)
- **Version number** (e.g. 2.4.0, v1.0.0-beta.2)
- **Release date** (or "today")
- **Audience** (developers using an API / end users of a product / internal team — affects language)
- **Any breaking changes** (flag these explicitly if known)
## Output Structure
Follow [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com) format:
---
## [X.Y.Z] — YYYY-MM-DD
### Breaking Changes ⚠️
[Only include if there are breaking changes]
- **[Breaking change]:** [What changed and what it breaks]
- **Migration required:** [Specific action the user must take]
### Added
- [New feature or capability, written from the user's perspective]
- [Another addition]
### Changed
- [Changed behaviour — what it did before vs. what it does now]
- [Performance improvement with measurable impact if known]
### Fixed
- [Bug fixed — describe what was broken, not the fix implementation]
- [Another fix]
### Deprecated
- [Deprecated thing] — use [replacement] instead. Will be removed in [version].
### Removed
- [Removed thing] — was deprecated in [version]
### Security
- [Security fix — describe the vulnerability class, not exploit details]
---
## Formatting Rules Applied
**Language:** Write for the reader, not the committer. "Add dark mode support" not "implement ThemeProvider with dark palette variant".
**Breaking changes:** Always call these out first with ⚠️. Include a migration path.
**Bug fixes:** Describe what was broken, not what was changed. "Fix crash when user has no profile picture" not "null-check avatar URL before rendering".
**Granularity:** Group related commits into one line. Don't list every micro-commit separately.
**Tone:** Active voice, imperative mood. "Add", "Fix", "Remove" — not "Added", "Fixed", "Removed".
**Empty sections:** Omit any section with no entries. Don't include empty `### Fixed` blocks.
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Breaking changes are at the top with migration instructions
- [ ] All entries are user-facing language (no internal variable names or implementation details)
- [ ] Related commits are grouped into single entries (not listed individually)
- [ ] Version and date header is correct
- [ ] Empty sections are omitted
- [ ] Tone is imperative mood throughout
## Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write a changelog for version [X]" + [paste commits]
- "Generate release notes from these commits"
- "Turn this git log into a CHANGELOG entry"
- "Write the CHANGELOG.md update for this release"
- "What changed in this release?" + [paste commit list]

name: cicd-playbook
description: "Write a CI/CD pipeline playbook for a service or team. Use when asked to document a CI/CD pipeline, write a deployment process, define release gates, document build and test stages, or create a deployment guide. Produces a structured playbook covering pipeline stages, environment definitions, deployment gates, rollback procedures, and on-call responsibilities."
---
# CI/CD Playbook Skill
Produce a complete, actionable CI/CD playbook for a service or team — covering everything a new engineer needs to understand, contribute to, and operate the pipeline safely.
A good playbook is not a diagram. It is a document that answers: what runs, when, why, who owns it, and what to do when it breaks.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not already provided:
- **Service name** and brief description
- **Tech stack** — language, framework, containerisation (Docker, etc.)
- **Source control** — GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket, branching strategy
- **CI platform** — GitHub Actions / CircleCI / Jenkins / BuildKite / other
- **CD platform / deployment target** — Kubernetes, ECS, Lambda, Heroku, VMs, etc.
- **Environments** — e.g. dev, staging, production (and any canary / feature environments)
- **Deployment frequency** — how often does the team ship?
- **Any existing gates** — manual approvals, smoke tests, feature flags
- **On-call setup** — who's responsible during deploys?
## Output Format

# CI/CD Playbook: [Service Name]
**Service:** [Name] | **Team:** [Team name]
**Last updated:** [Date] | **Owner:** [Name / role]
**Pipeline platform:** [CI tool] → [CD tool / platform]
---
## Overview
[23 sentences describing what this service does and why the CI/CD pipeline is structured the way it is. Include the deployment target and how frequently the team ships.]
**Deployment frequency:** [Multiple times per day / Daily / Weekly / On-demand]
**Average pipeline duration:** [X minutes]
**Rollback time (p95):** [X minutes]
---
## Pipeline Stages
```
[Branch push]
[1. Build & Lint] ──fail──▶ ❌ Block PR
[2. Unit Tests] ──fail──▶ ❌ Block PR
[3. Integration Tests] ──fail──▶ ❌ Block PR
[4. Security Scan] ──fail──▶ ⚠️ [Block / Warn — specify]
[5. Build Artefact / Container Image]
[6. Deploy to Staging] ──fail──▶ ❌ Block promotion
[7. Smoke Tests (Staging)]
[8. Manual Approval Gate] ──(if required)
[9. Deploy to Production] ──fail──▶ 🔁 Auto-rollback (if configured)
[10. Post-deploy checks]
```
---
## Stage Definitions
### Stage 1 — Build & Lint
**What runs:** [Build command] + [Linter — e.g. ESLint, golangci-lint, flake8]
**Trigger:** Every commit to any branch
**Blocking:** Yes — PR cannot be merged if this fails
**Typical duration:** [X minutes]
**Owner if it fails:** PR author
**Common failure causes:**
- [e.g. Missing dependency — run `npm install` locally before pushing]
- [e.g. Lint rule violation — run `npm run lint --fix` to auto-fix most issues]
---
### Stage 2 — Unit Tests
**What runs:** [Test command — e.g. `npm test`, `go test ./...`, `pytest`]
**Coverage gate:** [X]% minimum — pipeline fails below this threshold
**Trigger:** Every commit
**Blocking:** Yes
**Typical duration:** [X minutes]
**Coverage report:** [Where to find it — e.g. uploaded to Codecov, available in CI artifacts]
---
### Stage 3 — Integration Tests
**What runs:** [Test suite description — e.g. "API integration tests against a test database using Docker Compose"]
**Environment:** [Ephemeral test environment / shared test DB / etc.]
**Trigger:** Every commit to `main` and feature branches targeting `main`
**Blocking:** Yes
**Typical duration:** [X minutes]
**If slow:** [e.g. "Integration tests can be skipped locally with `SKIP_INTEGRATION=true` — never skip in CI"]
---
### Stage 4 — Security Scan
**Tools:** [e.g. Snyk, Trivy, OWASP Dependency Check, Semgrep]
**What it checks:** [Dependency vulnerabilities / SAST / secrets detection — list what applies]
**Blocking on:** Critical and High severity findings
**Non-blocking on:** Medium and Low (flagged, not blocking)
**Trigger:** Every commit to `main`
**How to handle a flagged vulnerability:**
1. Check if a fix is available — upgrade the dependency
2. If no fix available, open a security ticket and add a suppression with justification
3. Never suppress without a ticket and owner
---
### Stage 5 — Build Artefact
**What is produced:** [Docker image / binary / zip — be specific]
**Registry:** [ECR / GCR / Docker Hub / Artifactory — URL]
**Tagging convention:** `[service-name]:[git-sha]` (also tagged `:latest` on `main`)
**Trigger:** Commits to `main` only (not feature branches)
---
### Stage 6 — Deploy to Staging
**Deployment method:** [e.g. Helm upgrade / kubectl apply / ecs deploy / Terraform apply]
**Staging URL:** [URL]
**Trigger:** Automatic on successful artefact build from `main`
**Who can deploy to staging:** Any engineer (automatic)
**Environment variables:** Managed in [Vault / AWS SSM / GitHub Secrets / etc.]
**Staging is not production:** [Any differences in config, scale, or data — state them here]
---
### Stage 7 — Smoke Tests (Staging)
**What runs:** [Description — e.g. "10 critical path tests covering login, core API endpoints, and payment flow"]
**Tool:** [e.g. Playwright / Postman / custom script]
**Pass criteria:** All smoke tests pass within [X seconds] timeout
**Blocking:** Yes — production deploy will not proceed if smoke tests fail
**Smoke test suite location:** [Link to test files or folder]
---
### Stage 8 — Manual Approval Gate
**Required for:** [Production deploys / deploys affecting >X% of traffic / deploys to specific regions]
**Who can approve:** [e.g. Any engineer on the team / Lead engineer / On-call engineer]
**Approval timeout:** [e.g. 24 hours — auto-cancelled if no approval]
**How to approve:** [GitHub Actions approve step / Slack command / other — with link]
**When to withhold approval:**
- Active incident in production
- Deploy is outside the deployment window (see below)
- On-call engineer has not been notified
---
### Stage 9 — Deploy to Production
**Deployment method:** [Same as staging or different — specify]
**Deployment window:** [e.g. MondayThursday 09:0016:00 UTC — no deploys on Fridays or before bank holidays]
**Canary / progressive rollout:** [Yes — X% initial traffic, full rollout after Y minutes / No — full deploy]
**Deployment notifications:** [Slack channel — #deployments]
**Who is on-call during deploy:** Deploying engineer is responsible until post-deploy checks pass.
---
### Stage 10 — Post-Deploy Checks
**Automated checks (run for [X minutes] after deploy):**
- [ ] Error rate: <[X]% (baseline: [Y]%)
- [ ] P99 latency: <[X]ms (baseline: [Y]ms)
- [ ] [Key business metric]: within [X]% of baseline
**Where to watch:** [Datadog / Grafana / CloudWatch dashboard — link]
**If a check fails:** See Rollback Procedure below.
---
## Environments
| Environment | Purpose | Deploy trigger | URL | Data |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Dev** | Local development | Manual | localhost | Seeded test data |
| **Staging** | Pre-production validation | Automatic (main) | [URL] | Anonymised prod copy |
| **Production** | Live traffic | Manual approval | [URL] | Live data |
---
## Branching Strategy
**Model:** [Trunk-based / GitFlow / GitHub Flow — describe briefly]
| Branch | Purpose | Who merges | Deploy target |
|---|---|---|---|
| `main` | Production-ready code | PR + review | Staging → Production |
| `feature/*` | Feature development | Author | None (CI only) |
| `hotfix/*` | Critical production fixes | Lead engineer | Can bypass staging gate with approval |
**Hotfix process:** [Describe when and how to use a hotfix branch — what level of incident justifies bypassing the standard process]
---
## Rollback Procedure
**Automated rollback:** [Yes — triggered if post-deploy error rate exceeds [X]% / No — manual only]
**Manual rollback steps:**
```bash
# 1. Identify the last known good image tag
[command to list recent deployments]
# 2. Deploy the previous version
[deployment command with previous tag]
# 3. Confirm rollback is live
[smoke test command or health check URL]
# 4. Notify the team
[Slack command or template]
```
**Rollback decision authority:** Any engineer on-call can initiate a rollback without waiting for approval.
**After a rollback:**
1. Create a post-deploy incident report (see [incident-postmortem skill])
2. Do not re-deploy the same commit without fixing the root cause
3. Notify [stakeholder / support team] of the rollback and expected fix timeline
---
## Secrets and Configuration Management
**Secret store:** [Vault / AWS SSM / GitHub Secrets / Doppler — specify]
**How to add a new secret:**
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
**Who has access:** [Role or team]
**Rotation policy:** [How often secrets are rotated and who owns it]
**Never do:** Commit secrets to source control, even in `.env` files. The pipeline includes secret scanning (Stage 4) which will flag this.
---
## Common Failures and Fixes
| Failure | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Build fails with "module not found" | Dependency not installed | Run `[install command]` and commit `lock file` |
| Integration tests timeout | Test DB not seeded / external service down | Check [service] status; re-run pipeline |
| Smoke tests fail after staging deploy | Environment variable missing | Check [config location]; compare staging and prod env vars |
| Production deploy stuck at approval | Approver not notified | Tag `@[on-call handle]` in `#deployments` |
| Post-deploy error rate spike | Bad deploy / upstream dependency | Check [dashboard]; initiate rollback if >5 min |
---
## On-Call Responsibilities During Deploy
- The deploying engineer is responsible for monitoring post-deploy checks for [X minutes] after a production deploy
- If you cannot monitor after deploying, hand off explicitly to another engineer in `#deployments`
- For deploys outside business hours: only hotfixes — always page the on-call engineer before deploying
---
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Every stage has a clear owner when it fails
- [ ] Rollback procedure is tested — not theoretical
- [ ] Secrets management section names the actual tool used (not "use secrets management")
- [ ] Deployment window is specific — not "during business hours"
- [ ] Post-deploy check thresholds are calibrated to actual baseline metrics

---
# Debugging Log Analyser Skill
Parses raw error logs, stack traces, and crash reports into a structured diagnosis with probable root cause, affected code path, and specific next steps — no hand-waving.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- **The log / stack trace / error output** (paste directly or describe the error)
- **Language and framework** (e.g. Node.js + Express, Python + Django, Java Spring, Go)
- **Context** (what the user was doing when the error occurred)
- **Environment** (local dev / staging / production)
- **What they've already tried** (if anything)
## Output Structure
### 1. Error Classification
**Error type:** [Runtime exception / Build error / Config error / Network error / Memory/resource error / Unknown]
**Severity:** [Fatal / Critical / Warning / Informational]
**Recurrence pattern:** [One-off / Intermittent / Consistent / On-startup / Under load]
### 2. Stack Trace Analysis
Walk the stack frame by frame, starting from the origin:
- **Origin frame:** [File, line, function where it started]
- **Propagation path:** [How it travelled through the call stack]
- **Crash point:** [Where it ultimately threw/panicked/exited]
For each significant frame, note whether it is:
- User code (fixable here)
- Framework/library code (usually a misuse issue)
- System/runtime code (usually a config or environment issue)
### 3. Root Cause Assessment
**Probable root cause:** [12 sentence plain English statement]
**Confidence:** [High / Medium / Low — and why]
**Alternative causes to rule out:** [If confidence is not high]
### 4. Affected Code Path
**Entry point:** [Where the triggering call began]
**Key function(s) involved:** [Specific functions/methods named in the trace]
**Data that triggered it:** [If inferable from the log — e.g. null value, malformed JSON]
### 5. Suggested Fix
Provide a concrete, code-level suggestion:
- What to change (the minimal fix)
- Why this fixes the root cause
- Any trade-offs or risks in the fix
- A short code snippet if helpful
### 6. Next Debugging Steps
If the root cause is uncertain, provide an ordered list of 35 specific debugging actions:
1. [Specific thing to check — file, log line, config value]
2. [Specific reproduction step or isolation test]
3. [Specific tool command — e.g. `strace`, `pprof`, `--verbose`, add logging at X]
### 7. Prevention
One or two concrete things that would prevent this class of error recurring:
- Better input validation at [point]
- Add monitoring/alerting for [condition]
- Test that covers [scenario]
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Root cause is specific (not "there might be a null pointer issue")
- [ ] At least one concrete code-level fix is suggested
- [ ] Next steps are actionable commands, not vague advice
- [ ] Language-specific idioms are used correctly
- [ ] Prevention is proactive (not just "add error handling")
## Example Trigger Phrases
- "Why is this crashing?" + [paste log]
- "Can you analyse this stack trace?"
- "I'm getting this error, what does it mean?"
- "Debug this log for me"
- "What's causing this exception?"

---
# Developer Onboarding Document Skill
Produce a complete developer onboarding document for a service or team — covering everything a new engineer needs to be productive within their first week.
A good onboarding doc is not a wiki dump. It answers the questions a new engineer actually has on day one, in the order they'll have them.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not already provided:
- **Service name** and what it does
- **Team** responsible for it
- **Tech stack** — language(s), framework(s), database(s), message queues, etc.
- **Key external dependencies** — upstream services, third-party APIs
- **Deployment target** — Kubernetes, ECS, Lambda, bare metal, etc.
- **Local dev setup** — how to run locally (Docker Compose, local DB, etc.)
- **Testing approach** — unit, integration, E2E; test commands
- **Deployment process** — summary of how code gets to production
- **On-call setup** — who's on-call, how alerts work
- **Contacts** — tech lead, platform team, related service owners
## Output Format

## What This Service Does
[35 sentences. What problem does this service solve? Who calls it, and who does it call? What would break if this service went down?]
**Service type:** [API / Background worker / Event consumer / Data pipeline / etc.]
**Consumers:** [List internal services or external clients that depend on this service]
**Dependencies:** [List upstream services, databases, and third-party APIs this service calls]
**Architecture diagram:** [Link or embed — even a rough ASCII diagram helps]
```

## Codebase Orientation
**Repository:** [Link]
**Main branch:** `[main / master]`
**Language:** [e.g. Go 1.22 / Node.js 20 / Python 3.12]
**Framework:** [e.g. Express / FastAPI / Gin / Rails]
### Key directories
```
[repo-root]/
├── [src/ or cmd/] # Application code
│ ├── [handlers/] # HTTP handlers / controllers

└── [docs/] # Additional documentation
```
**Where to start reading:** [Point to 23 key files that give the best orientation — e.g. `main.go`, `routes.js`, `app.py`]
### Things that might surprise you
- [Unusual pattern 1 — e.g. "We use event sourcing — state is derived from an event log, not stored directly"]
- [Unusual pattern 2 — e.g. "Auth is handled by the gateway — this service trusts the `X-User-Id` header"]
- [Unusual pattern 3 — any non-obvious decisions or legacy choices]
---
## Local Development Setup
**Estimated setup time:** [X minutes for a fresh machine]
### Prerequisites
- [ ] [Tool 1] — version [X] — [install link]
- [ ] [Tool 2] — version [X] — [install link]
- [ ] Access to [repo / internal package registry] — request from [who]
- [ ] [Any secrets or credentials needed] — request from [who]
### Step-by-step setup
```bash
# 1. Clone the repo
git clone [repo URL]
cd [repo-name]
# 2. Copy and configure environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env — see "Environment Variables" section below
# 3. Start dependencies (database, cache, etc.)
[docker compose up -d / make deps / etc.]
# 4. Install dependencies
[npm install / go mod download / pip install -r requirements.txt]
# 5. Run database migrations
[migration command]
# 6. Start the service
[start command]
# 7. Verify it's working
curl http://localhost:[PORT]/health
# Expected: {"status":"ok"}
```
**If this doesn't work:** Check [Troubleshooting section below] or ask in `#[channel]`.
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| `DATABASE_URL` | Yes | Connection string for the primary DB | `postgres://localhost:5432/[db]` |
| `[VAR_2]` | Yes | [Description] | [Example] |
| `[VAR_3]` | No | [Description — default value] | [Example] |
**Secrets for local dev:** [Where to get them — e.g. "Run `[command]` to pull from Vault" or "Ask [person] in #[channel]"]
### Useful local commands
```bash
[start command] # Start the service
[test command] # Run all tests
[lint command] # Run linter
[format command] # Format code
[migration command] # Run pending migrations
[seed command] # Seed local database
```
---
## Testing
**Testing philosophy:** [e.g. "We test at the integration layer — unit tests for pure functions, integration tests for anything touching the DB or external services"]
### Running tests
```bash
# All tests
[test command]
# Unit tests only
[unit test command]
# Integration tests (requires local deps running)
[integration test command]
# A specific test file or test case
[test command with filter]
```
**Test coverage:** [X]% (minimum required to pass CI: [Y]%)
**Coverage report:** [Where to find it]
### Writing tests
- **Unit tests:** [Where to put them — e.g. alongside source files as `*_test.go`]
- **Integration tests:** [Where to put them — e.g. `tests/integration/`]
- **Test database:** [How it works — e.g. "Each test gets a clean transaction that rolls back on teardown — see `tests/helpers/db.go`"]
- **Mocking:** [Policy — e.g. "We mock at the repository layer — don't mock the DB directly"]
---
## Making Changes
### Branching
[Branch naming convention — e.g. `feature/[ticket-id]-short-description`, `fix/[ticket-id]-short-description`]
### Before opening a PR
- [ ] Tests pass locally
- [ ] Linter passes (`[lint command]`)
- [ ] New behaviour has test coverage
- [ ] Any new environment variables are added to `.env.example` and documented
- [ ] Database migrations are backward-compatible (old code can run against new schema)
### Code review
- **Reviewers:** [Who to request review from — e.g. "Any engineer on [team]; lead review required for auth changes"]
- **Expected review time:** [X hours / 1 business day]
- **PR template:** [Link or auto-generated by GitHub]
### Database migrations
```bash
# Create a new migration
[migration create command]
# Apply pending migrations
[migration up command]
# Roll back last migration
[migration down command]
```
**Migration rules:**
- All migrations must be backward-compatible — old code must run against the new schema
- Never rename or drop a column in a single migration — do it in two steps (add new, migrate data, drop old)
- Test your rollback before merging
---
## Deployment
**How code gets to production:** [12 sentence summary — link to full CI/CD playbook if it exists]
1. Merge to `main` → automatic deploy to staging
2. Smoke tests run on staging
3. Manual approval → deploy to production
4. Post-deploy monitoring for [X minutes]
**Deployment docs:** [Link to CI/CD playbook or pipeline docs]
**Who can deploy:** [Any engineer / Lead engineer / On-call engineer — specify]
**Deployment channel:** `#[deployments channel]`
---
## Monitoring and Observability
**Dashboard:** [Datadog / Grafana / CloudWatch — link]
**Logs:** [Log aggregation tool and link — e.g. "Logs are in Datadog under service:[name]"]
**Traces:** [Tracing tool and link if applicable]
**Alerts:** [Where alerts fire — e.g. PagerDuty / Slack #alerts-[service]]
**Key metrics to know:**
- **Error rate:** Should be <[X]% (alert at [Y]%)
- **P99 latency:** Should be <[X]ms
- **[Business metric]:** [e.g. "Queue depth should be <100 items"]
---
## On-Call
**On-call schedule:** [PagerDuty / Opsgenie link]
**Who's on-call now:** [Link to current schedule or `#oncall` channel]
**Escalation:** [On-call → [team lead] → [EM] — after [X] minutes unacknowledged]
**If you get paged:**
1. Acknowledge the alert
2. Check [dashboard link] for the first clue
3. Common alert runbooks: [link to oncall-runbook or runbook-writer output]
4. If you can't resolve in [X minutes], escalate to [person/channel]
---
## Key Contacts
| Role | Name | Best way to reach |
|---|---|---|
| Tech lead | [Name] | Slack: @[handle] |
| On-call rotation | [Team] | PagerDuty / `#on-call` |
| Platform / infra | [Team] | `#platform` Slack channel |
| Database / DBA | [Name or team] | `#database` Slack channel |
| [Upstream service] owner | [Name] | Slack: @[handle] |
**Where to ask questions:**
- General engineering: `#engineering`
- This service specifically: `#[service-name]`
- Urgent / production issues: `#incidents`
---
## Troubleshooting
### "The service won't start locally"
1. Check that Docker / dependencies are running: `[command]`
2. Check `.env` is populated — missing values cause silent failures
3. Check logs: `[log command]`
4. Ask in `#[channel]`
### "Tests are failing locally but passing in CI"
- Check your local dependency versions match CI: `[version check command]`
- Try a clean install: `[clean install command]`
- Integration tests need local deps running — `[start deps command]`
### "I can't access [internal tool / system]"
- Request access through [process — e.g. Okta self-serve / ask your manager]
### "Something looks wrong in production"
1. Check [dashboard] for the error spike
2. Check recent deploys in `#deployments`
3. If it's an active incident, page on-call via [PagerDuty / Slack command]

# On-Call Runbook Skill
Produce a complete on-call runbook for a service — giving the on-call engineer everything they need to respond confidently to alerts at 3am, without having to ask anyone for help.
A good on-call runbook reduces mean time to resolution (MTTR) by eliminating the "what do I do first?" problem. It is written for the on-call engineer who has just been paged and needs to act, not for someone calmly reading documentation.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not already provided:
- **Service name** and what it does
- **Team** and tech lead name
- **Alert list** — names of alerts that currently page on-call
- **Monitoring setup** — Datadog / Grafana / CloudWatch / PagerDuty / etc.
- **Common failure modes** — what breaks most often, and what fixes it
- **Escalation contacts** — who to call when on-call can't resolve it
- **Deployment setup** — can on-call roll back? How?
- **Service dependencies** — what does this service depend on, and what depends on it?
## Output Format
---
# On-Call Runbook: [Service Name]
**Team:** [Team name] | **Tech lead:** [Name]
**PagerDuty service:** [Link] | **Escalation policy:** [Policy name]
**Last updated:** [Date] | **Next review:** [Date + 90 days]
> **First time on-call for this service?** Read the [developer onboarding doc] first — it covers the architecture and how things work. This runbook assumes you understand the service.
---
## Quick Reference
**Dashboard:** [Link — the first thing to open when paged]
**Logs:** [Link — where to find logs]
**Runbook index:** Jump to the alert that paged you → [Alert list below]
**Can't resolve in 30 min?** Escalate to: [Name] via [Slack / PagerDuty]
**Rollback command (memorise this):**
```bash
[rollback command — e.g. kubectl rollout undo deployment/[service-name]]
```

## Alert Runbooks
### ALERT: [Alert Name 1 — e.g. HighErrorRate]
**What it means:** [Plain English — e.g. "More than 5% of API requests are returning 5xx errors in the last 5 minutes"]
**Severity:** P1 / P2 / P3
**SLO impact:** Yes / No — [If yes: this alert means the error budget is burning at [X]× rate]
**Step 1 — Acknowledge and assess**
```bash
# Check current error rate
[query or dashboard link]
# Check which endpoints are erroring
[query or command]
```
**Step 2 — Check recent changes**
```bash
# Any deploys in the last hour?
[command or link to deployment log]
# Recent config changes?
[where to check]
```
**Step 3 — Check dependencies**
```bash
# Is the database healthy?
[health check command or link]
# Is [downstream service] healthy?
[health check command or link]
```
**Step 4 — Diagnose**
| If you see | It means | Do this |
|---|---|---|
| [Error pattern 1] | [Cause] | [Action] |
| [Error pattern 2] | [Cause] | [Action] |
| [Error pattern 3] | [Cause] | [Action] |
| No clear pattern | Unknown cause | Escalate to [name] |
**Step 5 — Fix or mitigate**
```bash
# If caused by bad deploy — roll back:
[rollback command]
# If caused by [specific issue]:
[fix command]
# If caused by upstream dependency:
[mitigation — e.g. enable circuit breaker, reduce traffic, etc.]
```
**After resolving:**
- [ ] Confirm error rate has returned to baseline
- [ ] Check no downstream services were affected
- [ ] If P1: open a post-incident review — see [incident-postmortem skill]
- [ ] Update `#incidents` with resolution summary
---
### ALERT: [Alert Name 2 — e.g. HighLatency]
**What it means:** [e.g. "P99 response time has exceeded 1s for more than 3 consecutive minutes"]
**Severity:** P1 / P2 / P3
**SLO impact:** Yes — latency SLO breach
**Step 1 — Assess scope**
```bash
# Check which endpoints are slow
[query or dashboard — broken down by endpoint]
# Check if latency is across all regions or localised
[query or command]
```
**Step 2 — Common causes and fixes**
| Cause | Signal | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Database slow queries | DB latency spike on dashboard | [Check slow query log: `command`] |
| Cache miss storm | Cache hit rate drops on dashboard | [command or action] |
| Memory pressure / GC | High memory on service dashboard | [command or action — e.g. restart, scale up] |
| Upstream service slow | Trace shows time in external call | Escalate to [service] on-call |
| Traffic spike | Request rate spike on dashboard | [Scale up: `command`] |
**Step 3 — Escalate if unresolved in 20 minutes**
Page [Tech lead] via PagerDuty / Slack.
---
### ALERT: [Alert Name 3 — e.g. DatabaseConnectionPoolExhausted]
**What it means:** [e.g. "The service has used all available database connections — new requests will fail"]
**Severity:** P1
**SLO impact:** Yes — will cause errors immediately
**Immediate mitigation:**
```bash
# Restart the service to flush stale connections
[restart command]
# Check current connection count
[DB connection query]
```
**Diagnose root cause after stabilising:**
```bash
# Check for long-running queries holding connections
[query]
# Check if a recent deploy changed connection pool config
[where to check]
```
**Resolution:** [e.g. "Increase pool size in config / kill long-running queries / scale the service"]
---
### ALERT: [Alert Name 4 — e.g. QueueBacklogHigh / ConsumerLag]
**What it means:** [e.g. "The message queue backlog exceeds 10,000 messages — consumers are not keeping up"]
**Severity:** P2
**SLO impact:** Depends — if queue backs up, downstream systems will receive delayed data
**Step 1 — Check consumer health**
```bash
# Are consumers running?
[command]
# Consumer error rate?
[dashboard or query]
```
**Step 2 — Check message contents**
```bash
# Are there poison messages causing retries?
[command to inspect dead-letter queue or failed messages]
```
**Step 3 — Options**
| If | Then |
|---|---|
| Consumers are down | Restart consumers: `[command]` |
| Poison message in queue | Move to DLQ: `[command]` |
| Consumers healthy but slow | Scale consumers: `[command]` |
| Upstream producing too fast | Escalate to [upstream service] owner |
---
### ALERT: [Add additional alerts following the same pattern]
---
## Diagnostic Cheat Sheet
Common commands for quick diagnosis. Paste and run without modification.
```bash
# Service health
[health check command]
# Recent logs (last 100 lines)
[log command]
# Error logs only
[error log filter command]
# Current pod / instance status
[kubectl get pods / aws ecs describe-tasks / etc.]
# Restart the service
[restart command]
# Roll back to previous version
[rollback command]
# Database connection count
[DB query]
# Cache hit rate
[cache stats command]
# Current request rate
[metrics query]
```

name: slo-error-budget
description: "Define Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and an error budget policy for a service.

# SLO and Error Budget Skill
Produce a complete, implementable SLO document for a service — covering what to measure, what target to set, how to calculate the error budget, and what to do when it burns.
A good SLO is not a target to hit. It is an agreement about what reliability means for your users — and a framework for making principled trade-offs between reliability and velocity.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not already provided:
- **Service name** and brief description of what it does
- **Primary users** — who depends on this service and how
- **User-facing interactions** to protect — e.g. API calls, page loads, transactions
- **Current reliability data** — error rate, latency, uptime (last 3090 days if available)
- **Existing on-call setup** — who responds to alerts?
- **Deployment frequency** — how often does the team ship?
- **Any existing SLAs** with customers — these constrain SLO targets
## Key Definitions
Always establish these before writing the SLO:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| **SLI** (Service Level Indicator) | The metric being measured — e.g. "% of requests completing successfully in <500ms" |
| **SLO** (Service Level Objective) | The target for that metric — e.g. "99.5% of requests" |
| **SLA** (Service Level Agreement) | The contractual commitment to customers — must be looser than the SLO |
| **Error budget** | The allowed headroom below 100% — the budget for planned and unplanned downtime |
| **Burn rate** | How fast the error budget is being consumed |
---
## Output Format
---
# SLO Document: [Service Name]
**Service:** [Name] | **Team:** [Team name]
**Owner:** [Name / role] | **Approved by:** [Name]
**Effective date:** [Date] | **Review date:** [Date + 3 months]
**Version:** [1.0]
---
## Why This SLO Exists
[23 sentences. What reliability problem are we solving? What was happening before this SLO that made us need it? What decision-making does this SLO enable?]
---
## Service Overview
**What this service does:** [One sentence]
**Who depends on it:** [Internal teams / external customers / both — describe]
**Critical user journeys protected by this SLO:**
1. [Journey 1 — e.g. "User completes a payment"]
2. [Journey 2]
3. [Journey 3]
---
## SLIs — What We Measure
Define one SLI per user journey or reliability dimension. Keep it to 35 SLIs maximum.
### SLI 1: [Name — e.g. Request Success Rate]
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| **What it measures** | [e.g. "% of API requests that return a non-5xx response"] |
| **Good event definition** | [e.g. "HTTP response with status 2xx or 4xx, completed within 500ms"] |
| **Bad event definition** | [e.g. "HTTP response with status 5xx, or any response taking >500ms"] |
| **Measurement source** | [e.g. "Application load balancer access logs / Datadog APM / Prometheus"] |
| **Measured over** | Rolling 28-day window |
| **Exclusions** | [e.g. "Health check endpoints excluded / Requests during planned maintenance excluded"] |
### SLI 2: [Name — e.g. Latency]
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| **What it measures** | [e.g. "P99 response time for the /checkout endpoint"] |
| **Good event definition** | [e.g. "Request completes in ≤500ms at P99"] |
| **Bad event definition** | [e.g. "Request takes >500ms at P99"] |
| **Measurement source** | [Source] |
| **Measured over** | Rolling 28-day window |
| **Exclusions** | [Any exclusions] |
### SLI 3: [Name — e.g. Data Freshness / Queue Depth / etc.]
[Same structure]
---
## SLO Targets
| SLI | Target | Window | Error Budget |
|---|---|---|---|
| [SLI 1 name] | [X]% | 28-day rolling | [100 - X]% = [Y minutes/month] |
| [SLI 2 name] | [X]% | 28-day rolling | [100 - X]% = [Y minutes/month] |
| [SLI 3 name] | [X]% | 28-day rolling | [100 - X]% = [Y minutes/month] |
**How targets were set:**
- Historical baseline (last 90 days): [X]%
- Target is set [above / at] historical baseline to [improve reliability / reflect current reality while formalising the commitment]
- Rationale: [12 sentences]
**What 100% is NOT the target:** [Brief explanation of why targeting 100% is counterproductive — it discourages feature development and doesn't reflect user reality]
---
## Error Budget Calculation
**For SLI 1 ([Name]), at [X]% target:**
```
Error budget = (100% - SLO target) × measurement window
= (100% - [X]%) × 28 days × 24 hours × 60 minutes
= [Y]% × [Z total minutes]
= [N] minutes of allowed failure per 28-day window
```
**In plain terms:** We can afford [N] minutes of [bad events] in any rolling 28-day window before we breach the SLO.
---
## Burn Rate Alerts
Burn rate = how fast the error budget is being consumed relative to the budget window.
A burn rate of 1 = consuming the budget at exactly the rate that would exhaust it over 28 days.
| Alert | Burn rate | Window | Severity | Response |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Page (critical) | >14× | 1 hour | P1 | Page on-call immediately — budget exhausted in <2 hours |
| Page (high) | >6× | 6 hours | P2 | Page on-call — budget exhausted in <5 days |
| Ticket (warning) | >3× | 3 days | P3 | Create ticket — review at next team meeting |
| Info | >1× | 28 days | Info | Log only — budget on track to exhaust by end of window |
**Alert implementation:** [Link to alert config in monitoring tool — e.g. Datadog, Prometheus/Alertmanager, Grafana]
---
## Error Budget Policy
This policy defines what to do with the error budget — both when it's healthy and when it's burning.
### When budget is healthy (>50% remaining)
- Feature development and deployments proceed at normal pace
- The team may take on riskier experiments
- Reliability improvements are scheduled but not urgent
### When budget is at risk (2550% remaining)
- Deployment frequency reduced — team ships only well-tested changes
- One reliability improvement added to current sprint
- Weekly error budget review added to team standup
### When budget is nearly exhausted (<25% remaining)
- Feature work paused in favour of reliability improvements
- No new deployments without explicit on-call approval
- Daily review of error budget burn rate
- CSM / support notified to manage customer expectations
### When budget is exhausted (0% remaining — SLO breached)
- All feature work stops
- On-call engineer and engineering manager notified immediately
- Post-incident review (PIR) required within 5 business days
- SLO target may be temporarily relaxed (with stakeholder approval) while root cause is addressed
---
## Dashboard and Reporting
**SLO dashboard:** [Link to Datadog / Grafana / etc. dashboard]
**Metrics exposed:**
- Current SLO compliance (rolling 28-day)
- Error budget remaining (% and minutes)
- Burn rate (current and trend)
- Incident count and MTTR this window
**Reporting cadence:**
| Audience | Frequency | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering team | Weekly | Slack summary — #[service]-slo |
| Engineering manager | Monthly | SLO review meeting |
| Stakeholders / customers | Quarterly | SLO compliance summary |
---
## Exclusions and Edge Cases
**Planned maintenance:** Error budget is not consumed during pre-announced maintenance windows. Maintenance must be communicated [X hours] in advance via [channel].
**Dependency failures:** If SLO breach is caused by an upstream dependency outside our control, document it — but it still counts against our error budget (our users don't distinguish between our failures and our dependencies' failures).
**Force majeure:** [Policy for cloud provider outages, major infrastructure events]
---
## SLO Review Cadence
| Review | When | Who | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Error budget review | Weekly | Team | Budget health check — adjust if burning fast |
| SLO target review | Quarterly | Team + EM | Adjust targets if baseline has shifted significantly |
| Annual SLO audit | Annually | Team + Stakeholders | Review SLIs — are we measuring the right things? |
**When to change the SLO target:**
- Historical baseline has improved significantly and target no longer reflects real reliability
- User feedback indicates the target is misaligned with what users actually experience
- The SLO is being gamed (metric is healthy but users are unhappy)
---
## Quality Checks
- [ ] SLIs are user-facing — they measure what users experience, not internal system metrics
- [ ] Good and bad events are precisely defined — no ambiguity about what counts
- [ ] Targets are based on historical data, not aspirational round numbers
- [ ] Error budget policy has clear triggers and clear actions — not "discuss as a team"
- [ ] Burn rate alerts have different windows to catch both fast burns and slow burns
- [ ] Exclusions are documented so they don't silently inflate the SLO number

- **Scale target** (rough numbers: DAU, requests/sec, data volume — or "assume typical web scale")
- **Constraints or priorities** (e.g. prioritise availability over consistency, minimise cost, low-latency reads)
## Output Structure
### 1. Clarifying Questions
Before designing, list 46 questions that would change the design. Examples:
- Read-heavy or write-heavy? (affects caching and DB choice)
- Global or single-region? (affects latency requirements)
- Strong or eventual consistency? (affects storage and replication)
- Acceptable latency targets? (p50 / p99)
- Any existing infrastructure constraints?
Then proceed with stated assumptions if answering an interview question.
### 2. Functional Requirements
**Core features (must have):**
- [Feature 1]
- [Feature 2]
- [Feature 3]
**Out of scope (for this design):**
- [What's deliberately excluded and why]
### 3. Non-Functional Requirements
| Requirement | Target |
|---|---|
| Availability | [e.g. 99.9% / 99.99%] |
| Latency | [e.g. p95 < 100ms for reads] |
| Throughput | [e.g. 10k writes/sec peak] |
| Consistency | [Strong / Eventual] |
| Durability | [e.g. 99.999% — no data loss] |
### 4. Capacity Estimation
**Traffic:**
- DAU: [X]
- Reads/sec: [X] (peak: [X])
- Writes/sec: [X] (peak: [X])
**Storage:**
- Per record size: [X bytes]
- Records per day: [X]
- 5-year storage: [X GB/TB]
**Bandwidth:**
- Inbound: [X MB/s]
- Outbound: [X MB/s]
### 5. High-Level Architecture
```
[Client] → [CDN/Edge] → [Load Balancer] → [API Servers] → [Cache] → [DB]
→ [Message Queue] → [Workers]
```
Describe each layer in 12 sentences explaining its role and technology choice.
### 6. Component Deep-Dive
Pick the 23 most critical/interesting components and go deep:
**[Component 1: e.g. Database Layer]**
- Choice: [Technology and why — e.g. PostgreSQL for ACID guarantees, Cassandra for write throughput]
- Schema design (high-level): [Key tables/collections and their structure]
- Indexing strategy: [What gets indexed and why]
- Replication: [Primary-replica / Multi-primary — and why]
**[Component 2: e.g. Caching Strategy]**
- Cache type: [Redis / Memcached — and why]
- What gets cached: [Hot data — e.g. user sessions, frequent reads]
- Cache invalidation: [TTL / Write-through / Write-behind — trade-offs]
- Cache hit rate target: [e.g. 95%]
**[Component 3: e.g. API Design]**
- Key endpoints: [List the 35 most important API calls]
- Authentication: [JWT / OAuth / API keys]
- Rate limiting: [Where and at what rate]
### 7. Data Flow
Walk through the two most critical paths end-to-end:
**Write path:** [Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3...]
**Read path:** [Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3...]
### 8. Scaling Bottlenecks and Mitigations
| Bottleneck | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| [e.g. DB write throughput] | [e.g. sharding by user_id, write batching] |
| [e.g. Hot-key cache misses] | [e.g. local in-process cache, probabilistic early expiry] |
| [e.g. Single region latency] | [e.g. multi-region deployment, GeoDNS routing] |
### 9. Trade-offs and Alternatives
Be explicit about what was chosen and what was sacrificed:
| Decision | Why | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| [e.g. Eventual consistency] | [Higher availability, lower latency] | [Stale reads possible] |
| [e.g. SQL over NoSQL] | [Complex queries, ACID transactions] | [Harder to shard horizontally] |
| [e.g. Async processing via queue] | [Decoupled, more resilient] | [Eventual delivery, harder to debug] |
### 10. Follow-up Considerations
Things to tackle in production but out of scope for this design session:
- Monitoring and alerting (what metrics matter)
- Disaster recovery and backup strategy
- Security (auth, encryption at rest/transit, rate limiting)
- Cost optimisation at scale
- Gradual rollout and feature flagging
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Clarifying questions are design-changing (not generic filler)
- [ ] Capacity estimates use real numbers (not just "it scales")
- [ ] At least 2 component deep-dives with technology choices justified
- [ ] Trade-offs section is honest (not just benefits of chosen approach)
- [ ] Data flow is described end-to-end for the critical path
## Example Trigger Phrases
- "Help me answer a system design interview: [question]"
- "Design [system] for a system design interview"
- "How would I architect [system] at scale?"
- "I have a system design interview — the question is [X]"
- "Design a [URL shortener / chat system / notification service / feed]"

# Test Strategy Document Skill
Produces a complete test strategy from a feature spec, PRD, or system description — covering scope, test types, risk areas, coverage requirements, and a prioritised test case outline.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- **Feature or system being tested** (paste a spec, PRD, or describe it in plain English)
- **Tech stack** (language, framework, testing tools already in use if known)
- **Risk level** (low / medium / high / critical — affects depth and coverage requirements)
- **Timeline** (when does this need to ship — affects prioritisation)
- **Team context** (who is doing the testing — developers / dedicated QA / both)
## Output Structure
### 1. Test Scope
**In scope:**
- [Specific functionality being tested]
- [Integration points covered]
- [User-facing flows included]
**Out of scope:**
- [What is deliberately not tested here — and why]
- [Dependencies owned by other teams]
**Assumptions:**
- [What the test strategy assumes is true — e.g. mocked services, test data availability]
### 2. Risk Assessment
Identify the highest-risk areas first — these drive depth and coverage:
| Area | Risk Level | Why | Test Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| [e.g. Payment processing] | High | Money movement, regulatory | P0 — exhaustive |
| [e.g. User authentication] | High | Security boundary | P0 — exhaustive |
| [e.g. Email notifications] | Medium | External dependency | P1 — happy path + key failures |
| [e.g. UI copy changes] | Low | Visual only, reversible | P2 — smoke only |
### 3. Test Types and Coverage
**Unit Tests**
- **What:** Individual functions and methods in isolation
- **Who writes:** Developer
- **Coverage target:** [e.g. 80% line coverage on new code / 100% on critical paths]
- **Tools:** [e.g. Jest, pytest, go test]
- **Focus areas for this feature:** [Specific logic that needs unit coverage]
**Integration Tests**
- **What:** Service interactions, database operations, API contracts
- **Who writes:** Developer / QA
- **Coverage target:** [All happy paths + key failure modes]
- **Tools:** [e.g. Supertest, pytest + testcontainers]
- **Focus areas:** [Specific integrations at risk — e.g. third-party API, DB schema changes]
**End-to-End Tests**
- **What:** Critical user journeys from browser/client to database
- **Who writes:** QA / Developer
- **Coverage target:** [Top N user journeys — list them]
- **Tools:** [e.g. Playwright, Cypress, Selenium]
- **Focus areas:** [The 35 most critical user flows]
**Performance Tests** *(include only if risk is medium+)*
- **What:** Load, stress, or latency testing
- **Targets:** [Specific numbers — e.g. 200 req/sec at p95 < 200ms]
- **Tools:** [e.g. k6, Locust, JMeter]
**Security Tests** *(include only if risk is high+)*
- **What:** OWASP Top 10 checks relevant to this feature
- **Focus:** [Auth bypasses, injection, data exposure]
- **Tools:** [e.g. OWASP ZAP, manual penetration testing, Snyk]
### 4. Test Case Outline
Priority-ordered list of specific test cases:
**P0 — Must pass before merge:**
| Test Case | Type | Expected Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| [e.g. User can log in with valid credentials] | E2E | [Redirect to dashboard, session created] |
| [e.g. Invalid login returns 401] | Integration | [Error message displayed, no session] |
| [e.g. Password is never stored in plain text] | Unit | [bcrypt hash in DB] |
**P1 — Must pass before release:**
| Test Case | Type | Expected Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| [e.g. Login fails gracefully when DB is down] | Integration | [User sees friendly error, 503] |
| [e.g. Rate limiting blocks after 5 failed attempts] | Integration | [429 returned, account flagged] |
**P2 — Should pass, can ship with known issues tracked:**
| Test Case | Type | Expected Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| [e.g. Login page renders correctly on mobile] | E2E | [Layout matches design] |
### 5. Test Data Requirements
- [Specific test data needed — e.g. test user accounts with various states]
- [External service stubs or mocks needed]
- [Database seed data requirements]
- [Any PII concerns and how test data handles them]
### 6. Definition of Done
Testing is complete when:
- [ ] All P0 test cases pass
- [ ] All P1 test cases pass
- [ ] Code coverage meets the stated target
- [ ] No critical or high severity bugs open
- [ ] Performance targets met (if applicable)
- [ ] Security checks completed (if applicable)
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Risk table is populated and drives test priority (not filled in generically)
- [ ] P0 test cases cover the highest-risk paths specifically
- [ ] Each test type names a concrete tool (not "some testing framework")
- [ ] Definition of Done is measurable (not "tests are done when QA is happy")
## Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write a test strategy for [feature]" + [paste spec or PRD]
- "Create a test plan for [system]"
- "How should we test [feature]?"
- "I need a QA plan for this sprint"
- "What tests do we need for [X]?"

- **Customer Quotes**: What they tell us
- **Typical Profile**: Who chooses us?
**Loss Against [Competitor]**
- **Scenarios**: When do we lose?
- **Their Advantages**: What tips the decision?
- **Customer Quotes**: What they tell us
- **Typical Profile**: Who chooses them?
**Lessons Learned**
- What we need to improve
- What we need to communicate better
- Where we should compete differently
- [ ] All competitor claims cite a source or are flagged as assumptions
- [ ] Feature comparison notes quality differences, not just feature presence
- [ ] Strategic recommendations are specific actions, not generic advice
- [ ] Win/loss analysis reflects customer perspective, not internal assumptions
- [ ] Different customer segments are considered (not all buyers value the same things)

WARNING: Tax law changes frequently and varies by jurisdiction. This checklist produces a framework for discussion, not tax advice. Always verify with a qualified accountant or tax adviser before taking action.
## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **Entity type** (individual / sole trader / limited company / partnership / trust)
- **Jurisdiction** (UK / US / EU / Other — defaults to UK if unspecified)
- **Approximate income or revenue** (to identify relevant thresholds)
- **Key concerns** (optional — e.g. capital gains, pension, inheritance, R&D credits)
- **Time horizon** (year-end planning / ongoing / specific event like sale or exit)

**Jurisdiction:** [UK / US / Other]

**Key thresholds to note:** [List relevant tax-year thresholds — e.g. personal allowance, basic rate band, VAT threshold]
---

| Action | Potential saving | Deadline | Adviser needed? |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Action] | [£ estimate or "significant"] | [Date] | Yes / No |
---
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Jurisdiction confirmed before applying any thresholds or rules
- [ ] Year-end deadlines identified for time-sensitive opportunities
- [ ] High-impact items prioritised (not just a long undifferentiated list)
- [ ] Disclaimer is prominent — this is a framework, not tax advice
- [ ] Threshold figures are flagged as requiring verification for current tax year
## Example Trigger Phrases
- "Give me a tax planning checklist for [year-end / my situation]"
- "What tax reliefs should I consider as a [sole trader / limited company / individual]?"
- "Review my tax efficiency before the end of the tax year"
- "What should I check for my year-end tax planning?"

# Media Pitch Skill
Writes media pitches that journalists actually respond to — built around the story angle, not the company's desire for coverage. Most pitches fail because they are press releases in an email. Good pitches are a human proposing a story to another human.
## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **The story** (what is the actual news or interesting angle?)
- **Target publication or journalist** (who are you pitching to and what do they cover?)
- **Company or organisation** (who is behind this?)
- **Key proof point** (data, customer story, or exclusive that makes this credible)
- **Why now** (why is this timely?)
- **What you are offering** (interview / exclusive data / embargoed information / spokespeople)
## Output Structure
---
### Pitch: [Target journalist / outlet]
**Subject line:** [Under 10 words. The story angle, not the company name. Specific, not "Exciting news from [Company]"]
---
Hi [First name],
[Opening sentence — one hook that makes them want to read the next line. Reference their recent work if genuinely relevant: "I read your piece on X last week, which is why I thought you'd be interested in this."]
[Paragraph 1 — The story in 23 sentences. Lead with why the reader of [publication] would care. Not what the company does. The news angle, with the most interesting fact first.]
[Paragraph 2 — Why this is a story now. One data point, trend, or timely hook. Be specific: "In the last 6 months, X has increased by Y, according to [source]." Generic claims about "growing trends" are ignored.]
[Paragraph 3 — What you are offering. Interview with [specific person + their relevant credential]. Exclusive data / first look. Access to [specific thing]. One clear offering.]
[Brief company context — 1 sentence maximum. Journalists don't need your history; they need to know you're credible.]
Happy to send more details, connect you with [spokesperson], or share [specific exclusive asset] under embargo.
[Name]
[Title, Company]
[Mobile — journalists work on deadline and text faster than email]
---
## Pitch Rules
- Subject line is the pitch — if it doesn't earn a click, nothing else matters
- The story angle is not "Company launches product" — it is what that product reveals about the world
- One pitch, one journalist — mass BCC pitches are recognisable and ignored
- Follow up once, after 35 business days, with new information (not "just checking in")
- If offering an exclusive, name it explicitly and set a response deadline
## Angle Development Framework
If the user doesn't have a strong angle, help them find one:
| Angle type | Example | Works for |
|---|---|---|
| Data reveal | "Our research of 10,000 users shows X" | Survey findings, product insights |
| Trend + proof | "This is happening and here is evidence" | Market trends, behaviour change |
| Contrarian | "Everyone thinks X but actually Y" | Counter-intuitive findings |
| Human story | "This person's experience illustrates X" | Customer stories, case studies |
| Milestone | "First / fastest / largest in [category]" | Launches, records |
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Subject line is the story angle (under 10 words, no company name)
- [ ] Opening doesn't start with "I'm reaching out" or "I hope this email finds you well"
- [ ] The story angle is clear in the first two sentences
- [ ] A specific exclusive or offer is named
- [ ] Journalist's name is used (not "Hi there")
- [ ] Mobile number included for deadline follow-up
## Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write a media pitch for [story or announcement]"
- "Draft a journalist outreach email for [topic]"
- "Help me pitch [story] to [type of journalist or outlet]"
- "What is a good angle for a media pitch about [topic]?"

---
## Internal Linking Suggestions

- [ ] Competitor gaps are specific and actionable
- [ ] FAQ section addresses real "People Also Ask" questions

# Change Management Plan Skill
Produces a structured change management plan — because most change initiatives fail not because the change is wrong, but because people aren't brought along with it.
## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **The change** (what is changing, and what is the current state?)
- **Scale** (how many people affected, in how many teams/locations?)
- **Timeline** (when does the change go live? How long is the transition?)
- **Sponsor** (who is accountable at senior level?)
- **Key concern** (what is the biggest risk to adoption?)
- **What happens if change fails** (consequences of low adoption)
## Output Structure
---
# Change Management Plan: [Change Name]
**Change sponsor:** [Executive owner]
**Change manager:** [Who is running this]
**Go-live date:** [Date]
**Affected population:** [N people, N teams/locations]
---
## 1. Change Summary
**From (current state):** [Specific description of today's situation]
**To (future state):** [Specific description of what changes]
**Why this change is happening:** [Honest explanation — people adopt change faster when they understand the real reason]
**What stays the same:** [Explicitly naming what is NOT changing reduces anxiety]
---
## 2. Stakeholder Analysis
| Stakeholder group | Size | Impact level | Current sentiment | What they need |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Group] | [N] | High/Med/Low | Supportive / Neutral / Resistant | [Specific concern or need] |
**Key influencers to engage early:**
[Name the informal leaders, respected voices, and early adopters who can help. And the resistors who need direct attention.]
---
## 3. Impact Assessment
| Area | Impact | Severity | Action needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily workflow | [What changes day-to-day] | High/Med/Low | [Training / support / redesign] |
| Systems or tools | [What tools are affected] | | |
| Roles and responsibilities | [Any role changes] | | |
| Processes | [Process changes] | | |
| Metrics and targets | [Any KPI changes] | | |
---
## 4. Communication Plan
**Core message:** [The 1-sentence summary everyone should understand and remember]
| Audience | Message focus | Channel | Timing | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All staff | [Why this is happening + what to expect] | All-hands / Email | [T-6 weeks] | Sponsor |
| Managers | [How to support their teams] | Manager briefing | [T-5 weeks] | Change manager |
| Directly affected teams | [What changes for them specifically] | Team meeting | [T-4 weeks] | Line manager |
| [Other group] | [Tailored message] | | | |
**Communication principles:**
- Over-communicate — people need to hear a message 7 times to internalise it
- Use managers to cascade, not just top-down announcements
- Create a feedback channel — questions left unanswered become rumours
---
## 5. Training and Support Plan
| Audience | Training type | Timing | Duration | Delivery | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Group] | [e.g. Hands-on system training] | [T-2 weeks] | [2 hours] | [In-person / online] | [Owner] |
**Go-live support:**
- [What support is available on day 1 — helpdesk, floor walkers, champions]
- [Escalation path for issues in first 30 days]
---
## 6. Resistance Management
**Anticipated resistance sources:**
| Concern | Who holds it | Root cause | Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| [e.g. "This will increase my workload"] | [Middle managers] | [Loss of autonomy] | [Specific action to address] |
**Resistance management principles:**
- Acknowledge concerns genuinely — dismissing resistance amplifies it
- Involve resistors in design where possible — converts them into advocates
- Distinguish between genuine concerns (worth addressing) and preference for the status quo (to be managed, not solved)
---
## 7. Adoption Metrics
| Metric | Baseline | Target | Measurement point | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [System usage rate] | [0%] | [80%] | [30 days post go-live] | [Owner] |
| [Process compliance] | [X%] | [Y%] | [60 days] | [Owner] |
| [Staff confidence score] | [Survey score] | [Target] | [90 days] | [Owner] |
**Adoption milestones:**
- D+7: [First check — early issues identified]
- D+30: [First adoption review]
- D+90: [Sustained adoption confirmed or remediation plan activated]
---

### Activity [N]: [Name]
**Purpose:** [Why this activity at this moment]
**Time:** [X minutes]
**Format:** [Individual / Pairs / Small groups / Whole group]
**Materials:** [Post-its, Miro, printed sheets, etc.]
**Instructions to give participants:**
> "[Exact words to say when launching the activity — unambiguous, no jargon]"
**Step-by-step:**
1. [What happens in minute 0X]

**Time warning:** [What to do if running long — e.g. "Skip the prioritisation vote and let facilitator propose the top 3"]
---
## Decision-Making Protocol
Agree this with the group at the start:
**How decisions will be made in this session:**
- [ ] Consensus (everyone must actively agree)
- [ ] Consent (no one has a blocking objection)
- [ ] Majority vote (50%+1)
- [ ] Facilitator/sponsor decides after hearing input
**What happens with unresolved disagreements:** [Parking lot / escalate to sponsor / decide by [person] after session]
---
## Facilitation Moves (Quick Reference)
| Situation | Move |
|---|---|
| Silence after a question | "Take 2 minutes to write your thoughts before we share" |
| One person dominating | "Let's hear from someone we haven't heard from yet" |
| Off-topic tangent | "That's important — let me put it in the parking lot. Back to [focus]" |
| Group stuck, no ideas | "What would [competitor / different industry] do here?" |
| No consensus, running out of time | "Let's do a quick dot vote to identify the strongest options" |
| Energy low after lunch | "Stand up and tell the person next to you your one key takeaway so far" |
---
## Close: Commitments and Next Steps
End every session with:
1. **What did we decide?** — Read back every decision made. Ask: "Does anyone have a concern with how I've captured this?"
2. **What will we do?** — Specific actions, named owners, concrete deadlines
3. **Who needs to know?** — Who will communicate outputs to absent stakeholders, and how?
4. **When do we meet again?** — Schedule the follow-up before the room empties

# Roadmap Narrative Skill
## Purpose
Convert a ranked list of product initiatives into a clear, strategic narrative that connects individual items to company goals and communicates a coherent product direction.
## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **Prioritised initiative list** (with rough timelines or quarters)
- **Company OKRs or strategic priorities** (to connect roadmap to company goals)
- **Audience** (all-hands, board, investors, sales team — changes tone and depth)
- **Items explicitly NOT on the roadmap** (optional but strengthens credibility)
## Process
1. Review the prioritised initiative list and company OKRs provided
2. Identify 2-3 strategic themes that group the initiatives naturally
3. For each theme, articulate: the problem it addresses, the customer it serves, the metric it moves
4. Write a quarter-level narrative that shows progression — how does H1 set up H2?
5. Draft an executive summary (3-4 sentences max) that non-technical stakeholders can repeat
6. **Validate** — Confirm every initiative maps to a theme. If an initiative is orphaned, either create a theme or flag it as a narrative gap to address

# Sales Forecasting Model Skill
Produces a structured sales forecast framework — from pipeline conversion modelling to scenario analysis. Built for revenue and sales leaders who need a defensible forecast, not a spreadsheet guess.

- **Forecast period** (monthly / quarterly / annual)
- **Sales motion** (inbound / outbound / channel / PLG / mixed)

**Chosen approach:** [Bottom-up / Top-down / Hybrid] — and why for this context.
Bottom-up (recommended when pipeline data exists):
> Start from real deals in the pipeline. Apply stage-by-stage conversion rates. Sum to a revenue number.
Top-down (useful for planning, not for calling a number):
> Start from market or quota. Work backwards to activity targets.

## 2. Pipeline Stage Model
Define the sales stages and the expected conversion rate between each:
| Stage | Description | % of deals that advance | Avg time in stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prospect | Identified, not contacted | — | — |
| Qualified | Discovery done, confirmed fit | [X%] | [N days] |
| Proposal | Proposal sent | [X%] | [N days] |
| Negotiation | Commercial terms being agreed | [X%] | [N days] |
| Closed Won | Contract signed | [X%] | — |

| Qualified | [N] | £[X] | £[X × conversion %] |
| Proposal | [N] | £[X] | £[X × conversion %] |
| Negotiation | [N] | £[X] | £[X × conversion %] |
| **Total** | | **£[X]** | **£[weighted total]** |
**Coverage ratio:** [Weighted pipeline ÷ target = X×]
*Rule of thumb: 3× pipeline coverage is needed for confident forecast; 2× is tight; below 1.5× is at risk.*

## 4. Scenario Analysis
| Scenario | Assumption | Revenue | Probability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upside | All Negotiation + top 50% of Proposal close | £[X] | [%] |
| Base | Weighted pipeline conversion at historical rates | £[X] | [%] |
| Downside | Conversion rates drop 20% from historical | £[X] | [%] |
**Committed forecast:** £[X] — [The number the forecast owner is willing to call. Between base and downside.]
---
## 5. Key Assumptions Log
Every forecast is a set of assumptions. Name them explicitly so they can be updated:
| Assumption | Value | Confidence | Source | Last updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avg deal size | £[X] | High/Med/Low | [Last N deals] | [Date] |
| Sales cycle | [N days] | | | |
| Close rate from Proposal | [X%] | | | |
| Seasonal factor | [e.g. Q4 +20%] | | | |
| Churn/contraction | [X% of ARR at risk] | | | |
---
## 6. Activity-Based Sanity Check
Work backwards from the forecast to check if the required activity is achievable:
To hit £[target]:
- Deals needed to close: [N] (target ÷ avg deal size)
- Qualified pipeline needed (at current conversion): [N deals or £value]
- Discovery calls needed per week to build that pipeline: [N]
- Outreach needed per week (at [X%] meeting rate): [N]
**Does the team have capacity to generate this?** [Yes / No — flag if not]
---
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Forecast methodology is stated (not just a number)
- [ ] Stage conversion rates are based on historical data or flagged as assumptions
- [ ] Coverage ratio is calculated
- [ ] Three scenarios are modelled (not just one number)
- [ ] Assumption log is explicit and dated
- [ ] Activity sanity check confirms the forecast is achievable with current capacity
## Example Trigger Phrases

- "Create a pipeline model for [team/business]"
- "Help me build a bottom-up revenue forecast"
- "What is our forecast for Q[N] based on current pipeline?"

## Purpose
# Assumption Mapper Skill
Surface and prioritize the untested assumptions embedded in any product plan before development begins.
## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **Product brief, PRD, or concept description** (even rough notes work)
- **Stage** (concept / discovery / pre-build / post-launch — affects which assumptions matter most)
## Process
1. Read the provided brief, PRD, or concept description
2. Extract all assumptions across four categories:
2. Extract assumptions across four categories:
- **Desirability** (do users want this?)
- **Feasibility** (can we build it?)
- **Viability** (will it sustain the business?)
- **Usability** (can users actually use it?)
3. For each assumption, score:
3. Score each assumption:
- Confidence (1-5): How sure are we this is true?
- Impact (1-5): How badly does the plan fail if this assumption is wrong?
- Priority = Impact minus Confidence (higher score = test this first)
4. Output a ranked list with recommended validation methods
- Priority = Impact Confidence (higher = test first)
4. **Validate completeness** — Ensure at least one assumption per category. If a category is empty, re-read the brief looking specifically for that type.
5. Output a ranked list with recommended validation methods
## Output Format
## Output Structure
### Assumption Map: [Feature/Product Name]
| Assumption | Category | Confidence | Impact | Priority Score | Recommended Validation |
|------------|----------|------------|--------|----------------|----------------------|
| Assumption | Category | Confidence | Impact | Priority | Validation Method |
|------------|----------|------------|--------|----------|-------------------|
| [assumption] | [type] | [1-5] | [1-5] | [score] | [method] |
#### Top 3 Assumptions to Validate First
[Detailed recommendations for highest-priority items]
#### Critical Assumptions (Impact 4+ and Confidence 2 or below)
[Flagged items with detailed validation recommendations]
## Notes
- Flag any assumption that scores 4+ on Impact and 2 or below on Confidence as CRITICAL
- Suggest specific research methods: usability test, survey, prototype test, data analysis
#### Top 3 Assumptions to Validate First
[Detailed recommendations including specific research method, estimated effort, and what the result would change]
## Example (Partial)
Input: *"We're building a self-serve onboarding flow to reduce time-to-value for SMB customers."*
| Assumption | Category | Confidence | Impact | Priority | Validation Method |
|------------|----------|------------|--------|----------|-------------------|
| SMB users can complete onboarding without human help | Usability | 2 | 5 | 3 | Unmoderated usability test (n=8) |
| Faster onboarding correlates with higher retention | Viability | 3 | 4 | 1 | Cohort analysis of current onboarding times vs. 90-day retention |
| The current onboarding is the primary reason for slow time-to-value | Desirability | 2 | 4 | 2 | User interviews with recent churned SMB accounts |
## Quality Checks
- [ ] At least one assumption per category (Desirability, Feasibility, Viability, Usability)
- [ ] All Impact 4+ / Confidence 2 assumptions flagged as CRITICAL
- [ ] Each validation method is specific (not just "do research" — name the method and sample size)
- [ ] Priority scores are consistent (Impact Confidence, higher = more urgent)

name: change-management-plan
description: "Create a structured change management plan for any organisational change. Use when asked to write a change management plan, manage a change initiative, plan a system rollout, or lead an organisational transformation. Produces a plan covering stakeholder analysis, impact assessment, communication strategy, and resistance management."

# Change Management Plan Skill
Produces a structured change management plan — because most change initiatives fail not because the change is wrong, but because people aren't brought along with it.
## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **The change** (what is changing, and what is the current state?)
- **Scale** (how many people affected, in how many teams/locations?)
- **Timeline** (when does the change go live? How long is the transition?)
- **Sponsor** (who is accountable at senior level?)
- **Key concern** (what is the biggest risk to adoption?)
- **What happens if change fails** (consequences of low adoption)
## Output Structure
---
# Change Management Plan: [Change Name]
**Change sponsor:** [Executive owner]
**Change manager:** [Who is running this]
**Go-live date:** [Date]
**Affected population:** [N people, N teams/locations]
---
## 1. Change Summary
**From (current state):** [Specific description of today's situation]
**To (future state):** [Specific description of what changes]
**Why this change is happening:** [Honest explanation — people adopt change faster when they understand the real reason]
**What stays the same:** [Explicitly naming what is NOT changing reduces anxiety]
---
## 2. Stakeholder Analysis
| Stakeholder group | Size | Impact level | Current sentiment | What they need |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Group] | [N] | High/Med/Low | Supportive / Neutral / Resistant | [Specific concern or need] |
**Key influencers to engage early:**
[Name the informal leaders, respected voices, and early adopters who can help. And the resistors who need direct attention.]
---
## 3. Impact Assessment
| Area | Impact | Severity | Action needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily workflow | [What changes day-to-day] | High/Med/Low | [Training / support / redesign] |
| Systems or tools | [What tools are affected] | | |
| Roles and responsibilities | [Any role changes] | | |
| Processes | [Process changes] | | |
| Metrics and targets | [Any KPI changes] | | |
---
## 4. Communication Plan
**Core message:** [The 1-sentence summary everyone should understand and remember]
| Audience | Message focus | Channel | Timing | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All staff | [Why this is happening + what to expect] | All-hands / Email | [T-6 weeks] | Sponsor |
| Managers | [How to support their teams] | Manager briefing | [T-5 weeks] | Change manager |
| Directly affected teams | [What changes for them specifically] | Team meeting | [T-4 weeks] | Line manager |
| [Other group] | [Tailored message] | | | |
**Communication principles:**
- Over-communicate — people need to hear a message 7 times to internalise it
- Use managers to cascade, not just top-down announcements
- Create a feedback channel — questions left unanswered become rumours
---
## 5. Training and Support Plan
| Audience | Training type | Timing | Duration | Delivery | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Group] | [e.g. Hands-on system training] | [T-2 weeks] | [2 hours] | [In-person / online] | [Owner] |
**Go-live support:**
- [What support is available on day 1 — helpdesk, floor walkers, champions]
- [Escalation path for issues in first 30 days]
---
## 6. Resistance Management
**Anticipated resistance sources:**
| Concern | Who holds it | Root cause | Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| [e.g. "This will increase my workload"] | [Middle managers] | [Loss of autonomy] | [Specific action to address] |
**Resistance management principles:**
- Acknowledge concerns genuinely — dismissing resistance amplifies it
- Involve resistors in design where possible — converts them into advocates
- Distinguish between genuine concerns (worth addressing) and preference for the status quo (to be managed, not solved)
---
## 7. Adoption Metrics
| Metric | Baseline | Target | Measurement point | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [System usage rate] | [0%] | [80%] | [30 days post go-live] | [Owner] |
| [Process compliance] | [X%] | [Y%] | [60 days] | [Owner] |
| [Staff confidence score] | [Survey score] | [Target] | [90 days] | [Owner] |
**Adoption milestones:**
- D+7: [First check — early issues identified]
- D+30: [First adoption review]
- D+90: [Sustained adoption confirmed or remediation plan activated]
---
## Quality Checks
- [ ] "What stays the same" is explicitly addressed
- [ ] Stakeholder analysis includes resistors, not just supporters
- [ ] Communication plan uses managers to cascade (not just top-down)
- [ ] Training is timed before go-live (not after)
- [ ] Adoption metrics have a measurement date and owner
- [ ] Resistance management has specific responses (not just "communicate more")
## Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write a change management plan for [initiative]"
- "Help me plan the rollout of [system change] for [team/org]"
- "Create a communication and training plan for [change]"
- "How do I manage resistance to [change]?"

# Changelog Generator Skill
Converts raw git commits, a diff summary, or developer release notes into a polished changelog entry — categorised, user-facing, and following Keep a Changelog conventions.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- **Commits or release notes** (paste `git log --oneline`, raw commit messages, or a description of what changed)
- **Version number** (e.g. 2.4.0, v1.0.0-beta.2)
- **Release date** (or "today")
- **Audience** (developers using an API / end users of a product / internal team — affects language)
- **Any breaking changes** (flag these explicitly if known)
## Output Structure
Follow [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com) format:
---
## [X.Y.Z] — YYYY-MM-DD
### Breaking Changes ⚠️
[Only include if there are breaking changes]
- **[Breaking change]:** [What changed and what it breaks]
- **Migration required:** [Specific action the user must take]
### Added
- [New feature or capability, written from the user's perspective]
- [Another addition]
### Changed
- [Changed behaviour — what it did before vs. what it does now]
- [Performance improvement with measurable impact if known]
### Fixed
- [Bug fixed — describe what was broken, not the fix implementation]
- [Another fix]
### Deprecated
- [Deprecated thing] — use [replacement] instead. Will be removed in [version].
### Removed
- [Removed thing] — was deprecated in [version]
### Security
- [Security fix — describe the vulnerability class, not exploit details]
---
## Formatting Rules Applied
**Language:** Write for the reader, not the committer. "Add dark mode support" not "implement ThemeProvider with dark palette variant".
**Breaking changes:** Always call these out first with ⚠️. Include a migration path.
**Bug fixes:** Describe what was broken, not what was changed. "Fix crash when user has no profile picture" not "null-check avatar URL before rendering".
**Granularity:** Group related commits into one line. Don't list every micro-commit separately.
**Tone:** Active voice, imperative mood. "Add", "Fix", "Remove" — not "Added", "Fixed", "Removed".
**Empty sections:** Omit any section with no entries. Don't include empty `### Fixed` blocks.
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Breaking changes are at the top with migration instructions
- [ ] All entries are user-facing language (no internal variable names or implementation details)
- [ ] Related commits are grouped into single entries (not listed individually)
- [ ] Version and date header is correct
- [ ] Empty sections are omitted
- [ ] Tone is imperative mood throughout
## Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write a changelog for version [X]" + [paste commits]
- "Generate release notes from these commits"
- "Turn this git log into a CHANGELOG entry"
- "Write the CHANGELOG.md update for this release"
- "What changed in this release?" + [paste commit list]
