  • Set up git hooks for common checks
  • Create project-specific CLI commands
  • Integrate helpful development tools

Documentation

  • Generate setup guides that actually work
  • Create interactive examples

Analysis Process

  1. Profile current developer workflows
  2. Identify pain points and time sinks
  3. Research best practices and tools
  4. Implement improvements incrementally
  5. Measure impact and iterate

Deliverables

  • .claude/commands/ additions for common tasks
  • Improved package.json scripts
  • Git hooks configuration

Developer Hub 2

Your intelligent developer command center -- start here for any Python, wxPython, desktop app, NVDA addon, accessibility tool building, desktop accessibility, or general software engineering task. Routes to specialist agents across the developer, web, and document accessibility teams. Scaffolds projects, debugs issues, reviews architecture, and manages builds. No commands to memorize. Just talk.

Cs Handoff Author 2

Productivity persona for writing handoff documents. Terse, no-duplication, references-not-copies. Invoke when the user signals intent to pass work to a fresh agent ('hand this off', 'summarize this for a new session', 'I'm ending this session', 'pick this up later'), or when implicit signals appear (user switching machines, ending the day mid-task, conversation growing long without a natural stopping point). Walks the mandatory handoff_prompt.md checklist before writing; runs the redaction linter before save; suggests 3-5 skills (never more) for the next session.

Cs Markdown HTML Orchestrator

Density-first markdown-to-HTML converter. Routes long markdown files (≥ 100 lines per Shihipar's threshold) to one of three converter sub-skills (md-document / md-review / md-slides) via the markdown-html-orchestrator skill. Refuses below threshold or when the design-system isn't onboarded. Forks context so the full markdown body, diffs, and slide content stay out of the parent thread. Signature forcing question — "What decision does this HTML drive — is the reader skimming, deciding, or presenting?"
