Frequently Asked Questions About Jacob Smythe
FAQPage SchemaWhat tasks can I accomplish with JacobThree's skill registry?▼
The 21 skills cover the full engineering lifecycle: writing specs before coding, test-driven development, root-cause debugging, API and interface design, CI/CD pipeline setup, multi-axis code review, security hardening, performance optimization, browser testing via Chrome DevTools MCP, and production launch preparation.
Who should use these skills?▼
Software engineers and coding agents working on features, bug fixes, or refactors benefit most. The skills target practitioners who need structured practices for planning, testing, reviewing, securing, and shipping code rather than ad-hoc implementation.
How are the skills invoked in practice?▼
The using-agent-skills meta-skill governs discovery and invocation at session start or when a task matches a skill's trigger conditions. Individual skills activate by name or situation, such as invoking idea-refine with 'ideate' or triggering debugging-and-error-recovery when tests fail.
What prerequisites or dependencies do these skills require?▼
Most skills are practice-oriented and require no external dependencies. The browser-testing-with-devtools skill specifically requires Chrome DevTools MCP for DOM inspection, console error capture, network analysis, and performance profiling against real browser runtime data.
Do the skills cover deployment and post-launch concerns?▼
Yes. The shipping-and-launch skill provides pre-launch checklists, monitoring setup, staged rollout planning, and rollback strategies. The deprecation-and-migration skill additionally covers sunsetting old systems and migrating users between implementations.
