Set or show chiron's voice level (gentle, default, or strict). Zero-arg invocation prints the full config snapshot — voice level plus drill sizing and teaching dials — doubling as a health check. Persists to ~/.chiron/config.json across sessions.
Session-end review of recent chiron activity. Scores across 5 axes (design thinking, code quality, idioms, testing, engineering maturity) and names one concrete thing to practice next time. Read-only in v0.3.0 — does not persist scores.
Structured debugging with hypothesis testing. Observe, hypothesize, verify, fix, explain — teaches debugging methodology via a domain-adapted hint ladder. Defers to {{config_files_plain}}.
Apply teach-first Socratic mentor treatment to a coding request. Questions before code, graduated hints via an L0-L4 ladder, idiom callouts. Defers to {{config_files_plain}} when they conflict.
Compare 2-3 approaches to a coding or design decision with trade-offs and a recommendation. Teach-first framing — surfaces decision complexity rather than picking for you. For "which way should I..." questions (complements {{command_prefix}}chiron which handles "how do I..." questions). Defers to {{config_files_plain}}.
Advance one rung on the chiron hint ladder. Re-reads the most recent assistant turn, identifies its hint rung, and emits the next rung. Stateless — no session memory required.
Guided refactoring with named patterns. Identifies code smells, names the refactoring, and guides the transformation via a domain-adapted hint ladder. Defers to {{config_files_plain}}.
One-time comprehensive project scan. Reads every important file in the codebase and writes .chiron-context.md — the persistent context file that all other chiron skills reference instead of re-scanning.
Structured "before each task" preamble for a coding topic. Presents read-this-first doc pointers, key concepts, and common junior mistakes. From chiron's session preamble pattern — gives you the mental model before you start writing code. For topic overviews, NOT tutorials.
Architecture Decision Records with trade-off analysis. Guides through decision context, quality-attribute scoring, and ADR generation via a domain-adapted hint ladder. Defers to {{config_files_plain}}.
Generate idiom drills grounded in specific lines of a source file. Seeded patterns first, model eyeball fallback on no match. Grades user attempts /10 and writes outcomes to ~/.chiron/profile.json.
