Skills

Skills (recipes) are slash commands that define what to do. Each skill is described in a SKILL.md file with frontmatter metadata and instructions for agents. Brewcode includes 13 skills covering the full task lifecycle — from project analysis to E2E testing.

On top of those, /brewcode:review is a special dynamic skill — it is not shipped with the plugin, it is generated into every target project by /brewcode:setup, tailored to the project’s tech stack and agents. See the review skill page for details.

Lifecycle

The recommended skill execution order for a full task cycle:

  1. Setup

    Analyze project, generate templates, check prerequisites. setup

  2. Spec

    Create specification through research and user interaction. spec

  3. Plan

    Create execution plan from SPEC with phases and dependencies. plan

  4. Start

    Execute task with infinite context — automatic session handoff at context limits. start

  5. Rules

    Sync learned knowledge to project rules for future sessions. rules

  6. Teardown

    Clean up plugin files when task is complete. teardown

Skill Management

Use /brewcode:skills to list, create, or improve skills. The Skill Creator agent handles the creation process.

Dynamic Teams — New

/brewcode:teams creates 5-20 project-specific agents with self-selection protocol, performance tracking, and automatic tuning. Run after /brewcode:setup to build a team adapted to your project’s domains and architecture.

Moved to Brewtools

Skills text-optimize, text-human, secrets-scan, ssh, deploy, and debate have been moved to the Brewtools plugin. Skill glm-design-to-code has been moved to Brewui.

Mode Switcher

The /brewcode:skills create command can generate Mode Switcher skills — a special skill type that toggles persistent behavioral modes for the entire session. Mode instructions are injected into every prompt via hooks and survive auto-compaction. Keywords like “mode”, “toggle”, or “persistent” in the create prompt trigger the Mode Switcher workflow automatically.
