Full Others guideYour first 10 minutes
Don’t load all 24 skills at once - it wastes context. Follow the lifecycle and the right skills activate as you go.
- 1
Install the pack
One command drops all 24 skills into your agent. Nothing to configure - the meta-skill routes work to the right one.
- 2
Start with a spec
Run /spec (or ask your agent to “follow spec-driven-development”). It writes a short PRD before any code - the single highest-leverage habit.
- 3
Build test-first
/build works in thin vertical slices; /test enforces red-green-refactor. Every slice is committed and verified individually.
- 4
Review before merge
/review runs a five-axis quality gate. /ship fans out to specialist personas and returns a go / no-go.
