aegis

anti-entropy-governance

Use when retiring old logic, collapsing duplicate owners, removing fallbacks, or touching schema, persistence, or source-of-truth boundaries while deciding whether to delete old paths, retain compatibility, or stop for confirmation.

brainstorming

Use when defining new features, product behavior, UI/component design, architecture choices, contract changes, or ambiguous medium/high-complexity work before implementation.

DevOps & Infrastructure Solid

communicating-concisely

Use when the user asks for caveman mode, fewer tokens, brief responses, compressed communication, or otherwise explicitly requests a much shorter answer.

dispatching-parallel-agents

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

establishing-project-context

Use when entering a project for the first time, or when the user asks to establish shared language, define domain terms, or create a project glossary.

executing-plans

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints

finishing-a-development-branch

Use when implementation is complete, verification has passed, and the user needs to choose merge, PR, branch cleanup, or follow-up integration handling.

first-principles-review

Use when the user explicitly asks for first principles, first-principles review, Occam's razor, or when a complex decision has ambiguous goals, competing constraints, repeated fixes, fallback growth, duplicate owners, or architecture/product direction risk.

goal-framing

Use when the user explicitly sets an Aegis goal with /aegis-goal, Aegis goal:, or asks to define goal, success evidence, stop condition, or task boundaries before work.

long-task-continuation

Use when a task is multi-step, may span context resets or sessions, uses subagents, or risks losing state before completion.

receiving-code-review

Use when receiving code review feedback before implementing suggestions, especially when feedback is unclear, risky, disputed, or technically questionable.

DevOps & Infrastructure Solid

recording-architecture-decisions

Use when the user asks to create, write, update, amend, supersede, or evaluate an ADR, architecture decision record, durable architecture decision, decision log, or baseline sync after architecture-changing work.

requesting-code-review

Use when explicitly requesting an independent code review, after subagent-driven implementation slices, before merging high-risk work, or when verification finds evidence, baseline, architecture, compatibility, or retirement uncertainty that needs reviewer scrutiny.

subagent-driven-development

Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session

systematic-debugging

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes

Testing & QA Solid

test-driven-development

Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code

update-aegis

Use when the user says `aegis:update`, asks to update or upgrade an installed Aegis method-pack, wants the latest Aegis version, or asks whether Aegis is current on this host.

using-aegis

Use when starting a turn or checking Aegis skill routing.

using-git-worktrees

Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from the current workspace, or when an implementation plan should run outside the active working tree.
