- Fast environment briefing for agents and subagents. Use at session start to learn OS/shell, container/WSL/VM status, git repo + upstream + dirty state, Python venv status/locations, markdown folders to read, and availability of common tools (uv, mcpc, rg/grep/jq/git/python/node/npm/pnpm, etc.).
Environment Inspection
Overview
Collect a quick, machine-readable snapshot of the current workspace so agents know operating constraints, dev tooling, and where to look first for context.
Quick Start
Generate JSON (default):
python scripts/inspect_environment.py
Readable text:
python scripts/inspect_environment.py --format text
Key fields:
os: system, release, version, machineshell: detected shell/command hostenvironment: container hint, WSL flag, VM hint (via systemd-detect-virt when available)git: repo presence, root, branch, upstream, dirty statepython: interpreter path/version, active venv/conda, whether running inside a venvvirtualenv_dirs: nearby.venv/venv/envfoldersmarkdown_dirs: directories (depth-limited) containing.mdfiles worth skimmingtools: availability of common CLIs (uv, mcpc, rg/grep/jq/git/python/node/npm/pnpm, etc.)
Options
--root PATHto inspect a different directory (default: cwd).--format json|textfor programmatic vs quick-read output (default: json).--md-limit N/--md-depth Nto cap markdown directory discovery (defaults: 40 dirs, depth 5; skips .git/node_modules/.venv/venv/.tox/dist/build/.cache).--extra-tool NAME(repeatable) to probe additional binaries.
Notes and Heuristics
- Container detection uses marker files and
/proc/1/cgroup; WSL is reported separately. - VM detection is opportunistic via
systemd-detect-virt; missing tools yieldnull. - Git checks are no-op outside a repo and never modify state.
- Traversal is pruned to avoid heavy dirs; adjust limits if you need more coverage.

aufrank/running-dag-pipelines
tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Build and execute modular DAG workflows for long-context processing using slice/map/reduce/recurse/compact/filter operators. Use for one-shot batch jobs, standalone map-reduce pipelines, or when the context-dag plugin is not installed. Trigger when input exceeds the model's context window, when reproducible logged pipelines are needed, or when multi-level recursive processing is required. If context-dag is installed, the plugin's bundled dag_runner.py provides the same capability with persistent artifact storage.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Write in Austin Frank's voice and style. Use this skill whenever generating text that should sound like Austin — strategy docs, charters, proposals, business cases, vision documents, staffing requests, stakeholder updates, cover letters, mission statements, org design documents, or any professional prose where the user wants Austin's distinctive voice. Also use when the user asks to review, edit, or improve a draft for voice consistency, or when they reference "my style", "my voice", "write like me", or "Austin's style".
