bundles/ai-agents/skills/comment-mode/SKILL.md
Granular feedback on drafts without rewriting. Generates highlighted HTML with click-to-reveal inline comments. Use when user says "comment on this", "leave comments on", "give feedback on", or asks for feedback on a draft. Supports multiple lenses—editor feedback, POV simulation ("as brian would react"), or focused angles ("word choice only", "weak arguments"). A granular alternative to rewrites that lets users review feedback incrementally without losing their voice.

TypeScript refactoring and modernization guidelines from a principal specialist perspective. This skill should be used when refactoring, reviewing, or modernizing TypeScript code to ensure type safety, compiler performance, and idiomatic patterns. Triggers on tasks involving TypeScript type architecture, narrowing, generics, error handling, or migration to modern TypeScript features.
tools
Resolves TypeScript and JavaScript problems across type-level programming, performance, monorepo management, migration, and modern tooling. Invoke when diagnosing "type instantiation excessively deep" errors, migrating JS to TS, configuring strict tsconfig, debugging module resolution, or choosing between Biome/ESLint/Turborepo/Nx.

Turborepo monorepo build system guidance. Triggers on: `turbo.json`, task pipelines, `dependsOn`, caching, remote cache, the `turbo` CLI, `--filter`, `--affected`, CI optimization, environment variables, internal packages, monorepo structure, and package boundaries. Use when the user configures tasks or workflows, creates packages, sets up a monorepo, shares code between apps, runs changed packages, debugs cache behavior, or works in an `apps/` plus `packages/` workspace.
