bugfix

Fixing bugs using a test-first disciplined loop. Use when a bug is reported or discovered and needs a verified fix with minimal blast radius.

bump

Bumping project version and updating changelog atomically. Use when releasing a new version — patch, minor, or major.

checkpoint

Save a checkpoint — bump version, commit, push. Use when work is complete and ready to ship without the full finish protocol.

contribute

Contributing changes to PDS skills, agents, or workflow. Use before modifying any PDS artifact to follow the whitepaper-alignment checklist.

eval

Testing whether skills produce correct agent behavior. Use after modifying a skill, during periodic review, or when model upgrades may affect skill relevance.

explore

Structural codebase exploration using the codebase-memory-mcp SQLite index when one exists for the current project. Prefer over blind Grep when available.

export

Export a Claude Code session to human-readable markdown. Use when the user wants to save, review, or share a conversation transcript.

finish

Completing a development branch for merge readiness. Use when implementation and tests pass and the branch needs formal preparation for review and merge.

grill

Interrogating requirements to validate before building. Use before swarm decomposition, design decisions on ambiguous features, or when scope creep risk is high.

instinct

Recording, reviewing, and promoting engineering patterns. Use when observing a recurring pattern, during post-swarm analysis, or when an instinct reaches promotion threshold.

pause

Save session state and pause gracefully. Use when stopping work mid-session to preserve context for later resumption.

Code & Development Listed

pr-review

Address PR review comments systematically. Use when a PR has review feedback that needs to be resolved with code changes.

Focused rebase against a target branch. Use when you need to update a feature branch with upstream changes. Stops on conflicts — does not auto-resolve. Extended mode adds autonomous conflict resolution and test-fix loop.

resume

Reconstruct swarm state after a pause, a crash, or a handoff to a different machine or person. Use when starting a session that should continue prior swarm work instead of starting fresh.

swarm

Launching multi-agent parallel work with the Agentic SDLC. Use when a task benefits from decomposition into parallel subtasks.

team

Referencing the agent roster, roles, coordination model, and dispatch modes. Use when spawning agents or checking permissions.

ticket

Associate every PDS task with a GitHub issue. Orchestrator finds or creates the ticket, posts plan and acceptance criteria as a checkbox list, updates it as work progresses. Use at Phase 1 of every swarm.

triage

Triage insights into actionable GitHub issues across repos. Use after running /insights to convert analysis into tracked work.

verify

Verifying work completeness before declaring done. Use before marking tasks complete, creating PRs, or claiming task status as done.

voice

Terse user-facing register — limited vocabulary, doubled state-transition phrases, no hedging or editorializing. Use in the top-level conversation and for orchestrator user-facing inline status only.
