About
The catchup skill helps developers quickly understand recent codebase changes by automatically showing the git diff from master and reading relevant spec files. It's ideal for catching up after time away or when joining a project. The skill uses git, file reading, and glob patterns to provide focused context on what changed and why.

qmd is a local search and indexing CLI tool that enables developers to index and search through local files using hybrid search combining BM25, vector embeddings, and reranking. It supports both command-line usage and MCP (Model Context Protocol) mode for integration with Claude. The tool uses Ollama for embeddings and stores indexes locally, making it ideal for searching documentation or codebases directly from the terminal.
This skill executes implementation plans by dispatching a fresh subagent for each independent task, with code review between tasks. It enables fast iteration while maintaining quality gates through this review process. Use it when working on mostly independent tasks within the same session to ensure continuous progress with built-in quality checks.
The mcporter skill enables developers to manage and call Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers directly from Claude. It provides commands to list available servers, call their tools with arguments, and handle authentication and daemon lifecycle. Use this skill for integrating and testing MCP server functionality in your development workflow.
This skill deploys and orchestrates Vertex AI ADK agents using A2A protocol, managing AgentCard discovery, task submission, and supporting tools like Code Execution Sandbox and Memory Bank. It enables building multi-agent systems with sequential, parallel, or loop orchestration patterns in Python, Java, or Go.
