Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads help automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the 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:
---

### /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

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.

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.

Use only when the README and repository files leave a narrow reproduction-critical gap and the task is to resolve a specific paper detail such as dataset split, preprocessing, evaluation protocol, checkpoint mapping, or runtime assumption from primary paper sources while recording conflicts. Do not use for general paper summary, repo scanning, environment setup, command execution, title-only paper lookup, or replacing README guidance by default.
caveman-learn
juliusbrussee/caveman
Act on a Caveman learn report - review the ranked token sinks, apply cost-lowering fixes with per-edit consent, and report what those fixes returned. Use when asked to lower an agent's token cost, what caveman has saved, to trim a heavy CLAUDE.md, or to offload re-pasted context into cavemem.
