Solo Skills

Skills

  • bug-from-user

    Convert a vague user complaint into a reproducible bug report a solo dev can act on. Use when the user pastes a confusing customer message, says "user says it's broken but I can't repro", "this email makes no sense", or wants to triage a bug report.

  • changelog-from-commits

    Generate a user-facing CHANGELOG entry from raw git log output. Use when the user is preparing a release, says "what changed since last version", asks to write release notes, or wants to summarize a batch of commits for end users.

  • email-customer

    Draft a polite-but-firm reply to a tricky customer email — refund request, scope creep, complaint, billing dispute. Use when the user pastes a customer email and asks for a reply, mentions "how do I respond", "user is asking for a refund", "they want a discount", or any awkward customer-facing communication.

  • launch-tweet

    Draft a launch tweet or short thread for a solo product launch on X / Twitter. Use when the user is shipping something (new product, major feature, side project) and asks for a launch post, "help me announce X", or mentions Product Hunt / Show HN / X launch.

  • postmortem-solo

    Run a lightweight, blame-free postmortem after an incident, failed launch, or missed deadline — for one person. Use when the user says "that didn't go well", "the launch flopped", "we had an outage", "I missed my deadline", or wants to learn from a recent failure.

  • ship-decision

    Force a fast, regret-minimizing product decision when a solo founder is stuck choosing between options. Use when the user is paralyzed by a binary or tri-way choice (build A vs B, ship now vs polish, free vs paid, etc.), says "I can't decide", "should I", or asks for a sanity check on a roadmap call.

    rockscy/solo-skills
  • standup-solo

    Run a 5-minute personal standup for a solo dev — what shipped yesterday, what's blocked, what's next today. Use when the user asks for a daily check-in, says "what should I work on today", "what did I do yesterday", or wants to break out of a productivity slump.
