Claude Code skills and guardrails I use every day

Write or review ADRs that cover the hard parts: contracts, failure modes, observability, migration and rollback.

Tightens the code comments in a reviewed diff against your project's comment policy, as the tail of a code review.

Triage open Dependabot PRs: merge clean green bumps, close failing ones with a short reason, skip the rest.

Weekly upkeep of your Claude Code setup: acceptance metric, mistakes turned into checks, broken hooks and skills, repo drift.

Works through the open GitHub issues assigned to you one at a time, with review and test agents and one PR per issue.

Fixes a batch of GitHub issues in parallel worktrees through a background Workflow, one PR each, optionally merged on green CI.

Clear npm audit findings per sub-project, honor allowlists, verify with project scripts, open one PR per sub-project.

Write incident postmortems anchored to evidence, with trigger vs root cause, duration gaps and open questions.

Opens a pull request with a short body that says why, following strict writing rules: no test plan, no file lists, no dashes.

Pulls review comments on your PR, fixes what is actionable, and pushes, without ever writing to GitHub.

Cut a release for one project in a monorepo: sync, bump only if needed, tag with the CI tag prefix, push.

Reviews someone else's pull request end to end and writes the review as a local draft file, never posted.

Pulls the default branch, cuts a named branch from your task description, and starts working on the task.

Verify a change end to end before a PR: bring up compose, start the dev server, drive the touched flow with Playwright.

Formats and lints each file Claude writes or edits with the tools the project already has.

Denies merges, closes, secret reads, container teardown and shell rewrites of tracked files until you give the go.

Refuses commits and PRs that mix moves with logic, add dependencies, skip tests or are too big to review.

Blocks the PR skill until code-review, ponytail-review and comment-cleanup have run in the session.

Blocks the end of a turn while a changed JS/TS project fails its typecheck or related tests.

Refuses PR, issue and commit text with dashes, test plan sections, tables, hard wraps or features framed as fixes.

Refuses edits in the main checkout while another Claude session works there, and points you to a worktree.

Context window and plan usage limits at a glance: footer gauges, a per-category pane, and a warning past a threshold

Shows context size and session cost in the status line, and warns once when the context passes a threshold

Blocks Claude from posting GitHub comments or reviews as you until you give an explicit go

Caps unbounded Reads of large files and tells Claude how to read the rest

Swaps secrets, emails and IPs in tool output and prompts for stable placeholders, and restores real values in tool inputs

After a turn that edited code, runs the check script once in each package that was touched
