01 / DISCOVER

A place for every part of your workflow.

Reusable workflows. Clear standards. Connected tools. Every entry traces back to its upstream project.

22 ↗

Skills

Debugging, testing, security reviews and framework workflows, packaged as project-local skills with reviewed upstream sources.

06 ↗

Rules

Common and language-specific rules for security, coding style, testing and delivery, adapted to each coding agent’s native instruction format.

12 ↗

MCP servers

Pinned MCP recipes for library documentation, browser automation and web content. Your agent starts these servers after configuration.
