Skills catalog

Skills are Claude Code SKILL.md files synced into a project’s .claude/skills/. core skills apply everywhere; profile skills only reach projects with that profile enabled. Source lives at core/skills/<name>/SKILL.md or profiles/<profile>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md in the lacquer repo.

Every Source links somewhere: a skill’s own file in this repo (authored here, or with no further attributable external source), or the named upstream it was vendored from (copied in, then adapted to this repo’s conventions) — see Notes on vendored skills below each table for anything a short link can’t capture.

core

Skill	Fires when	Source
advisor-checkpoint	Consulting a stronger model mid-task for a second opinion — stuck, before committing to an approach, or before declaring a non-trivial task done.	advisor-checkpoint
antigravity-rescue	Stuck, and wanting a second opinion from Google’s Antigravity CLI (agy) via a real subprocess — forwards the task and returns its output verbatim.	antigravity-rescue
caveman	User says “caveman mode”, “less tokens”, “be brief”, or invokes /caveman — token-efficient terse replies.	caveman
claude-rescue	Running under Codex CLI, stuck, and wanting a second opinion from Claude Code via a real subprocess — forwards the task and returns its output verbatim.	openai/codex-plugin-cc (codex-rescue, reversed)
evaluator-optimizer	Generate a solution, evaluate against explicit pass/fail criteria, refine, repeat until it passes or a round cap is hit.	evaluator-optimizer
github-ci-fix	PR checks fail, CI is red, or a GitHub Actions workflow breaks — inspects failing checks via gh, pulls logs, scopes external checks, builds a fix plan.	github-ci-fix
github-issue-fix-flow	Given a GitHub issue number: implement a fix, run builds/tests, commit with a closing message, push.	github-issue-fix-flow
manager-loop	Running a large batch of independent work items (fleet-wide harvest, multi-repo sync-down, overnight backlog) as a persistent coordinator.	manager-loop
nameplate-attention	Grabbing the human’s attention (topmost message card + pulsating screen borders) before a password-manager prompt or whenever blocked on them.	steipete/nameplate
security-review	Adversarial security review of a branch diff, PR, or working tree before merge.	security-review
skill-authoring-standard	Writing or reviewing a SKILL.md — the bar it must clear: tight trigger-oriented frontmatter, single responsibility, no padding.	skill-authoring-standard

ios

Several skills in this profile are vendored from public, per-topic “Agent Skill” repos by AvdLee (Antoine van der Lee — SwiftLee); others are original to this repo. See the notes below the table.

ios-debugger-agent	Running an iOS app, interacting with the simulator UI, capturing logs, or diagnosing runtime behavior.	ios-debugger-agent
macos-ci-recipes	Adding macOS build/test/lint CI to a project on the ios profile (macOS-only or hybrid with an iOS target).	macos-ci-recipes; adapted from windsock’s and mindmint’s own CI (own fleet)
native-app-profiling	Profiling native macOS/iOS apps for CPU hotspots, hangs, and hitches via Instruments traces.	native-app-profiling

Notes on vendored skills

• swift-concurrency is also based on Antoine van der Lee’s paid Swift Concurrency Course — the skill body itself only carries a plain-text attribution line, no link: commit a228d797 deliberately scrubbed swiftconcurrencycourse.com/UTM links from the synced skill to avoid shipping course marketing fleet-wide. That decision stands here too — see the git history rather than expecting a link inside the skill.
• rocketsim also integrates with the third-party RocketSim app itself (paid, not bundled) — distinct from the skill’s own source above.
• swiftui-liquid-glass additionally cites Apple’s WWDC25 session 323 for one design note.

supabase

Skill	Fires when	Source
supabase-postgres-best-practices	Writing, reviewing, or optimizing Postgres queries, schema, indexing, connection pooling, RLS policies, or locking.	supabase/agent-skills (official, MIT)

Third-party skills

Not this repo’s own skills — installed per-project via [project].skills in .lacquer.toml and lacquer skills (see the README for the mechanism). Listed here so the packages this fleet actually pulls in have a source link.

dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills — Apple-framework reference skills. lacquer init suggests these automatically from a component’s Swift imports (see internal/skillsuggest); this table is that same mapping.

apple-on-device-ai	FoundationModels
authentication	AuthenticationServices, LocalAuthentication

HunterHillegas/mac-assed-mac-app-skill — AppKit/macOS app conventions. Not import-suggested (no single Swift import signals a macOS app); declared explicitly where needed (e.g. windsock).
