Standalone skills
Nine single-purpose Pocketto skills for debugging, hotfixes, onboarding, Education, design systems, research, plan review, and PR recording.
Standalone skills are lighter, single-purpose, and have no pipeline. Reach for them for everyday work; use the pipeline when a feature genuinely needs the ceremony.
| Skill | When to reach for it |
|---|---|
| pocket-help | "What is Pocket?", which skill to use, how the flow works |
| pocket-init | Onboard an existing project: generate a project guide, optionally calibrate Education |
| pocket-education | Learn by doing: you implement, the agent teaches, reviews, and guides |
| bug-hunting | Fix a bug, debug a failure, audit code for hidden bugs |
| hotfix | Small-to-medium change where the full pipeline is overkill |
| brand-design | Design system, creative brief, brand identity, UI tokens |
| structured-research | Validate an explicit assumption before it enters planning |
| validate-plan | Review plans against DRY, YAGNI, TDD, and codebase context |
| create-pr | Open the phase PR linked to the Pocket issue (Enterprise mode) |
How they relate to the pipeline
hotfix↔pocket-grindingis bidirectional. Grinding's triviality off-ramp recommends hotfix for small clear tasks; hotfix escalates to grinding when work turns out architectural or contested.validate-planis hotfix's review engine. The subagent reviewer that approves hotfix brief-plans validates them with this skill.structured-researchfeeds planning. A Confirmed verdict can be carried into grinding/planning as a validated input.create-pris Enterprise-only. It requires Enterprise mode, a successful preflight, and a linked issue.- Education changes who implements. In an Education repo,
hotfix,bug-hunting, andpocket-developmentask before implementing. An explicit handover is always required to switch.
Invocation
On Claude Code: /pocketto:<skill-name> (for example /pocketto:hotfix "bump the rate-limit window to 60s"). On Pi: trigger phrases and skill names, as listed on each page.
Execution artifacts and lifecycle
What the Pocketto pipeline writes to disk at each stage, when each file appears, and which command owns it, so the paper trail outlives the chat.
pocket-help
pocket-help maps the Pocket skills: what Pocket is, which skill fits the task in front of you, and how the local flow works, without loading every skill.
