Use when the user explicitly invokes $work or asks for execution strategy for complex engineering work with unclear scope, dependent steps, or separable workstreams.
npx skillsauth add techdufus/dotfiles workInstall this skill globally with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Route complex work into the smallest execution shape that preserves evidence, focus, and momentum. Do not duplicate narrower skills; let debugging, TDD, review, PR, or platform-specific skills own their lanes.
quick: one obvious local step. Execute directly.research: user needs location, explanation, or confidence. Inspect source and answer.structured: dependent steps or multi-file edits. Use update_plan, then work sequentially.parallel: independent units with disjoint write scopes. Delegate only sidecar tasks when
permitted; keep the blocking path local.orchestrated: large, staged work. Decompose into waves; wait only when blocked.unclear: ambiguity risks the outcome. Ask the smallest question.Report what changed, what verified it, and any remaining risk or unverified edge.
testing
Preparing and creating git commits when explicitly requested; covers staged diff review, secrets checks, and conventional commit messages.
testing
Verifying implementation work before claiming completion; covers tests, affected artifacts, evidence, and unresolved risks.
testing
Aggressively remove grammatical scaffolding LLMs reconstruct while preserving meaning-carrying content. Output may be fragments. Use when compressing text for prompts, reducing token count, preparing context for LLM input, or making documentation more token-efficient. Applies LLM-aware compression rules that delete predictable grammar while preserving semantics.
testing
Extract the underlying intent behind a request, issue, PR, or diff. Focus on problem and desired outcome; do not propose implementation, testing strategy, or rollout plans.
