Skills catalog

This catalog lists the shipped vc-* skills grouped by where they sit in the lifecycle. Phase marks the Read–Write cadence: READ skills observe and judge, WRITE skills mutate the tree or its packaging, and posture/meta/foundation skills shape how the others run. Example invocations use the skill-first grammar vibecrafted <skill> <agent> with any fleet agent (claude · codex · agy · junie · grok); each core launcher also has an interactive /vc-<skill> form.

Pipeline stages

The vc-ship umbrella chains these eleven stages as one supervised run: scaffold → implement → review → workflow → followup → marbles → audit → polarize → dou → hydrate → release.

Skill	Phase	Purpose	Example
vc-scaffold	WRITE	Founder-first planning: turn vague intent into a measurable execution plan.	vibecrafted scaffold claude
vc-implement	WRITE	Autonomous end-to-end delivery with followup and marbles built in.	vibecrafted implement codex
vc-review	READ	Bounded findings-first code review with evidence-graded findings.	vibecrafted review claude
vc-workflow	WRITE	Examine → Research → Implement pipeline for structure-first changes.	vibecrafted workflow codex
vc-followup	READ	Post-implementation trajectory audit: gaps, drift, next leverage.	vibecrafted followup claude
vc-marbles	WRITE	Truth-convergence loop: deliberate over-correction of every crack.	vibecrafted marbles codex
vc-audit	READ	Per-plan falsification: prove or refuse each task claim against evidence.	vibecrafted audit claude
vc-polarize	WRITE	Strip the marbles excess back to one axis; align code, tests, docs.	vibecrafted polarize claude
vc-dou	READ	Definition of Undone: gap analysis across the entire product surface.	vibecrafted dou claude
vc-hydrate	WRITE	Packaging and go-to-market work that closes the DoU gaps.	vibecrafted hydrate codex
vc-release	WRITE	Outward ship: release mechanics, deployment truth, launch checks.	vibecrafted release claude

Session and posture

Skill	Phase	Purpose	Example
vc-init	READ	Context bootstrap at session start: structure, history, ground truth.	vibecrafted init claude
vc-justdo	WRITE	No-ceremony delivery; the prompt defines the task type. Run-id prefix just- (distinct from impl-).	vibecrafted justdo codex
vc-partner	Posture	Shared steering: user and agent plan together, vision stays fixed.	vibecrafted partner claude
vc-ownership	Posture	Agent takes full operational ownership from architecture to ship.	vibecrafted ownership claude
vc-operator	Posture	Conduct a fleet through a planned multi-wave dispatch chain.	/vc-operator (interactive)

Fleet and delegation

Skill	Phase	Purpose	Example
vc-ship	Meta	The full lifecycle umbrella: all eleven stages as one supervised run.	/vc-ship (interactive)
vc-dispatch	Meta	Operate external fleet lines: prompt assembly, await, recovery.	vibecrafted dispatch
vc-agents	Meta	External-fleet dispatch contract and agent-mode grammar.	vibecrafted codex implement plan.md
vc-delegate	Meta	Decide native in-session subagents vs. external escalation.	vibecrafted delegate claude

Verification and curation

Skill	Phase	Purpose	Example
vc-intents	READ	Planned-vs-landed audit: which intentions actually exist in code.	vibecrafted intents claude
vc-research	READ	Triple-agent research swarm; three independent reports, one synthesis.	vibecrafted research --prompt "<topic>"
vc-trust	READ	Post-hoc falsification of commit claims and authorship fairness.	vibecrafted trust claude
vc-guard	Gate	In-flight enforcement: refuse continuation on a recorded trust block.	vibecrafted guard claude
vc-prview	READ	Bounded PR/branch/commit-range review over generated diff artifacts.	/vc-prview (interactive)
vc-prune	WRITE	Repository curation: dead-surface removal and the silencer strip.	vibecrafted prune
vc-decorate	WRITE	Late-stage visual finishing within the product’s own design language.	vibecrafted decorate claude

Foundations and utilities

Foundation skills have no worker launcher by design — they load inside other skills as perception and memory senses.

Skill	Phase	Purpose
vc-loctree	Foundation	Structural repository perception: scope, consumers, blast radius.
vc-aicx	Foundation	Intention retrieval over past agent sessions.
vc-skillaunch	Meta	Distill a completed workflow into a new reusable skill.
vc-screenscribe	Utility	Screencast-recording analysis workflow.

Verifying the inventory

The catalog above is a snapshot; the installed truth is on your machine:

vibecrafted help          # launcher grammar and available skills
ls ~/.vibecrafted         # runtime home: artifacts, control plane, locks

Launchers and skill ids map one-to-one — justdo is not an alias of implement, and no launcher silently renames another skill.
