Frequently Asked Questions About Paul Newsam
FAQPage SchemaWhat tasks can I accomplish with Paul Newsam's skill registry?▼
You can plan and execute features and epics, review and harden GitHub pull requests, triage CVE and CodeQL security findings, audit browser-test coverage, diagnose failures, and apply React, Python, FastAPI, and UI design guidance. Skills also cover Linear issue creation, threat modeling, and architecture documentation.
Who is the target audience for these skills?▼
Product engineers and full-stack developers working in React/TypeScript and Python/FastAPI codebases. The registry suits engineers handling PR delivery, security remediation, design-system convergence, accessibility compliance, and browser-test infrastructure, especially within MindsDB-related UI projects.
How do the planning and delivery skills work together in practice?▼
Start with create-charter or plan-epic to define direction, then plan-feature for bounded units, execute-feature to implement, validate-feature to verify acceptance criteria, and publish-pr or ship-pr to deliver. Each step writes local docs artifacts and requires explicit authorization before commits, pushes, or PR actions.
What prerequisites and integrations do these skills require?▼
Skills assume a Git repository with a docs/ directory convention, an authenticated GitHub integration or gh CLI for PR operations, and Linear workspace access for issue skills. Browser testing requires Node with Playwright or Cypress; UI checks run scripts like check_contrast.py and check_spacing.py.
Do these skills modify code or external systems automatically?▼
No. Most skills default to read-only analysis or local artifact writes. Commits, pushes, PR creation, review replies, thread resolution, and merges each require explicit user authorization, and analysis skills never edit code, dependencies, Git state, or external systems.
