  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads help automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Display CLI tools and capabilities:

## Built-in Tools

### TLDR Code Analysis
Token-efficient code exploration (95% savings vs reading raw files).

```bash
tldr tree src/              # File tree
tldr structure src/ --lang python  # Code structure (codemaps)
tldr search "pattern" src/  # Search files
tldr cfg file.py func       # Control flow graph
tldr dfg file.py func       # Data flow graph
tldr impact func src/       # Reverse call graph (who calls this?)
tldr dead src/              # Find dead code
tldr arch src/              # Detect architectural layers

/prove - Formal Verification

Machine-verified proofs without learning Lean syntax.

/prove every group homomorphism preserves identity
/prove continuous functions on compact sets are uniformly continuous

Requires: LM Studio running Godel-Prover model locally.

Memory System

Store and recall learnings across sessions.

# Recall past learnings
(cd opc && uv run python scripts/core/recall_learnings.py --query "hook patterns")

# Store new learning (via /remember skill)
/remember "Hook X works by..."

Premortem Risk Analysis

Identify failure modes before they occur.

/premortem [plan-file]     # Analyze implementation plan for risks

### /help hooks

Display active hooks:

```markdown

/help advanced

Display advanced customization:

## Advanced: Customization & Extension

### Skill Frontmatter
Skills use YAML frontmatter for metadata and tool restrictions:

```yaml
---
name: my-skill
description: What it does
triggers: ["keyword1", "keyword2"]
allowed-tools: [Bash, Read, Edit]
priority: high
skills: [other-skill]  # Auto-load dependencies
---

Agent Frontmatter

Agents declare their capabilities:

---
name: my-agent
description: Specialist for X
model: sonnet|haiku|claude-opus-4-5-20251101
tools: [Read, Grep, Glob, Bash]

Rules (.claude/rules/*.md)

Always-on instructions injected into context:

  • claim-verification.md - Verify before asserting
  • dynamic-recall.md - How to use memory system
  • tldr-cli.md - TLDR usage reference

Creating Custom Skills

mkdir -p .claude/skills/my-skill
# Create .claude/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md with frontmatter

Creating Custom Agents

# Create .claude/agents/my-agent.md with frontmatter

### /help <specific-name>

For specific skill/agent lookup:

1. Search for matching skill: `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`
2. Search for matching agent: `.claude/agents/<name>.md`
3. Read the file and display:
   - Description
   - Usage examples
   - When to use
   - Related skills/agents

## Dynamic Discovery

To keep help current, dynamically read frontmatter:

```bash
# List all skills with descriptions
for f in .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md; do
  head -10 "$f" | grep -E "^(name|description):"
done

# List all agents
for f in .claude/agents/*.md; do
  head -10 "$f" | grep -E "^(name|description):"
done

Example Interaction

User: /help

Claude:

What are you trying to do?

[ ] Explore/understand a codebase
    Find patterns, architecture, conventions

[ ] Fix a bug
    Investigate, diagnose, implement fix

[ ] Build a feature
    Plan, implement, test new functionality

[ ] Prove something mathematically
    Formal verification with Lean 4

[Other: describe your goal]

User selects: "Fix a bug"

Claude:

## Bug Fixing Tools

### Quick Path
Just describe the bug. I'll use the /fix workflow automatically.

### Manual Control
- **sleuth** agent: Deep investigation, root cause analysis
- **debug-agent**: Log analysis, state inspection
- **kraken** agent: TDD implementation of fix

### Commands
- `/fix` - Full workflow (investigate → diagnose → implement → test)
- `/debug` - Investigation only

### Tips
- Provide error messages, logs, reproduction steps
- The premortem hook will suggest risk analysis before implementation

FAQ

What does the help skill do?

Interactive workspace discovery - learn what tools, workflows, agents, and hooks are available

How do I install help?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/parcadei/continuous-claude-v3 --skill help in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/help/ (personal) or .claude/skills/help/ (project).

Which AI agents can use help?

Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.

Is help safe to install?

No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
