Skills that teach the agent the method.
How to build with an agent, on any stack.
01 Before you build
Choose the stack and set the repository up so an agent can read, run and verify it.
- Agent-ready repo
Sets up or audits a repository so coding agents can read, run and verify it - an AGENTS.md with the real commands and conventions, one verify command, typed environment config, and a folder layout by feature.
--skill agent-ready-repo - Stack It First
Picks the architecture an AI agent will build best in for a new web, mobile or backend project, by walking Stack It First's yes/no roadmap (tier, then profile) and writing the decision down.
--skill stack-it-first
02 While you build
Procedures the agent follows on every feature and every fix.
- Tests as spec
Turns a request into a failing test first, then implements until it passes and the full verify command is green - so the test is the spec the agent checks itself against.
--skill tests-as-spec - Vertical slice feature
Adds a new feature as one vertical slice - its route or screen, logic, data access and tests in a single feature folder - instead of spreading it across controller, service and repository layers.
--skill vertical-slice-feature
03 After you ship
Reviews and migrations once the product is live and growing.
- Agent-fit review
Scores an existing codebase against Stack It First's nine principles for agent-built software (boring tech, types at boundaries, locality, small explicit files, written conventions, tests as spec, explicit over clever, fewer moving parts, encoded workflows) and lists the highest-leverage fixes.
--skill agent-fit-review - Tier upgrade
Checks whether a project has outgrown its tier (MVP, Growth, Scale) using Stack It First's signals, and plans the move to the next tier as small, ordered changes instead of a rewrite.
--skill tier-upgrade
