Frequently Asked Questions About Ethan Todd
FAQPage SchemaWhat tasks can I accomplish with ewtodd's skill registry?▼
You can search arXiv papers, write ML conference papers with citations, enforce TDD cycles, perform root-cause debugging, manage GitHub pull requests and code reviews, inspect codebase metrics with pygount, and create or edit PDF, DOCX, and XLSX documents.
Who is the target audience for these skills?▼
Software engineers practicing test-driven development and code review, plus academic researchers and ML practitioners writing NeurIPS, ICML, or ICLR papers. The author's nuclear physics PhD background informs the research-oriented skills like arXiv search and grounded citations.
What platforms and dependencies do these skills require?▼
Most skills run on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The research-paper-writing skill requires semanticscholar, arxiv, habanero, requests, scipy, numpy, matplotlib, and SciencePlots. Codebase-inspection requires the pygount command. Python-debugpy supports Linux and macOS only.
Are these skills free and open source?▼
Yes. All 18 skills in the registry are released under the MIT license, permitting free use, modification, and redistribution. Authors include Son of Anton Agent, Nous Research, and Orchestra Research, with several adapted from obra/superpowers.
How do the debugging and code quality skills work together?▼
Systematic-debugging applies a 4-phase root-cause process, test-driven-development enforces tests before code, requesting-code-review runs pre-commit security scans and quality gates, and simplify-code performs parallel cleanup of recent changes. Python-debugpy adds pdb and debugpy DAP remote debugging.
