Coding-agent operations
Running coding agents well: handoffs, agent instruction files, context management, multi-agent setups.

- Review a coding agent transcript
Reviews a coding agent session transcript for where it went wrong (bad assumptions, skipped verification, scope creep, looping) and turns each failure into an instruction-file or prompt change.
- Write an agent handoff
Writes a self-contained handoff note so a fresh agent or a teammate can continue the current task without the conversation history. Use before ending a long session, switching tools or delegating.
- Write an agent skill
Writes a reusable agent skill (SKILL.md with frontmatter, steps, scripts and references) from a repeated task, with a trigger description models can match and a test plan. Use to package a workflow.
- Write an AGENTS.md
Writes or updates a repository's AGENTS.md with the verified commands, layout, conventions and boundaries a coding agent needs, and nothing generic. Use when setting up a repo for coding agents.
- Write a subagent brief
Turns a task into a self-contained brief for a subagent or parallel agent, with the goal, context, scope, constraints, return format and definition of done. Use before delegating to another agent.
- Audit a coding agent's permissions
Reviews a coding agent's tool, permission and sandbox configuration for shell, network, secrets and write-scope risk, and proposes least privilege. Use before giving an agent more autonomy.
Not: prompt writing for any assistant (prompt-engineering); output tone and length (output-styles).
