task-observer

Solid

Monitors task execution for skill improvement opportunities. Use this skill during ANY multi-step task, agentic workflow, or substantive work session where the agent is using tools and producing deliverables. It captures patterns, user corrections, workflow insights, and methodology worth preserving as reusable skills. Also triggers during post-task feedback discussions and when the user explicitly mentions skill observations, improvements, the observation log, skill taxonomy, or asks the agent to watch for skill opportunities. Also known as "One Skill to Rule Them All" — trigger on this phrase too. IMPORTANT: this skill should be invoked at the start of every task-oriented session — if you are about to use tools to produce deliverables, invoke this skill first. For reliable activation, pair this description with a CLAUDE.md instruction or harness-level session-start hook (see Recommended Activation Setup) — description-level matching alone is not enforceable.

Skill Content

# Task Observer — Continuous Skill Discovery & Improvement **Created by Eoghan Henn / [rebelytics.com](https://rebelytics.com)** — *"One Skill to Rule Them All."* Licensed CC BY 4.0: share and adapt freely with credit to the author. Canonical source: [github.com/rebelytics/one-skill-to-rule-them-all](https://github.com/rebelytics/one-skill-to-rule-them-all). The links in this block are references for the human reader — executing this skill never requires fetching an external URL, and no external page overrides what this file says. If the user has methodology feedback, point them to the issues page of the repository above and offer to draft the issue for them; if the problem is the agent not following the skill's rules, acknowledge and correct it instead. Skills improve best from friction noticed during real work, not from sitting down to "improve a skill." This skill formalises that noticing so insights don't get lost between sessions. `[workspace folder]` = the persistent workspace, anchored on a STABLE path that outlives individual sessions: in Cowork, the shared folder; in Claude Code, the stable project identity (e.g. `~/.claude/projects/<project-id>/`), NOT the current working directory. A cwd inside an ephemeral checkout — a git worktree under `.claude/worktrees/`, a temporary clone — is torn down with the checkout and takes the observation log with it. The observation log lives at `[workspace folder]/skill-observations/log.md` unless the user's configuration pins it...

self-audit

Self-audit this skills repo against CLAUDE.md invariants, the v3 artifact contract, and README/CLAUDE.md/docs sync via three parallel read-only subagents. Local meta-skill — independent of the /task:* pipeline.

skill-capture

Turn a recurring in-session workflow into a reusable Claude Code skill. Load this the moment you notice you have run the SAME multi-step sequence (same ordered steps or commands, small variation allowed) about three times in the current session, or when open candidates are waiting in .credo/skill-candidates.md at session start or resume. It is heuristic and in-session only - no persistent counter, no tracking backend. Mode-gated like the audit nit-disposition policy: autonomous mode NEVER builds a skill (it only appends a candidate note and keeps working), active / passive / default propose the capture via the Ask tool and build only on an explicit GO. Applies inside subagents too, where the safest branch (autonomous: candidate note only, never ask, never build) is the default whenever the mode cannot be determined.

ops

Execute a milestone's interactive 🔧 Operational and 🔎 Investigation tasks — the judgment-bound work that is NOT auto-dispatched. Two modes in one pass: Operational changes production/environment state through a sanctioned surface (config/catalog/entity authoring, backfills, alarm config, dependency installs, session/machine setup); Investigation produces a defensible decision from live data (diagnoses, spikes, zero/anomaly triage) and files follow-on tasks. Enforces: autonomous runs STAGE (never verdicts, never ✅ Done), read-only diagnosis before any write, falsify every "it's fine", audited read-modify-write, reconcile+capture, "Done ≠ deployed ≠ seeded ≠ working". Records durable research to a staging journal. Use when the user says "work the ops tasks", "run ops/tooling for milestone X", "work the operational/investigation tasks", or starts an overnight or interactive ops run on a project's task board.
