Frequently Asked Questions About Kieran Potts
FAQPage SchemaWhat tasks can I perform using Kieran Potts's skills?▼
The 30 skills cover the full delivery lifecycle: requirements discovery and specification, architecture design and RFCs, test-first implementation, code review, refactoring, bug diagnosis, acceptance testing, Git branching, merging, committing, releasing, threat modeling, and session handoff.
Who are these skills designed for?▼
Software engineers, technical leads, and engineering agents working in disciplined, trunk-based development environments. They suit practitioners who separate concerns like design, planning, implementation, review, and release into distinct, well-gated steps.
What license and cost apply to these skills?▼
All skills are released under the CC0-1.0 public domain dedication, meaning they are free to use, modify, and redistribute for any purpose, including commercial use, with no attribution required.
What prerequisites and dependencies do the skills require?▼
Skills require combinations of Read, Write, Edit, Glob, and Grep file operations, plus Bash access to Git commands, test runners, formatters, linters, type-checkers, profilers, and issue tracker or review host CLIs. Some research-oriented skills also need WebSearch and WebFetch.
How do the skills handle Git branching and merging?▼
The branch skill names and creates branches under a trunk-based model with short-lived and epic branches, while the merge skill selects the correct integration strategy — rebase-then-fast-forward, squash merge, merge commit, or fast-forward — based on source and target branch types.
