SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI assistants often respond with a one-size-fits-all style, producing verbose explanations when you need code or jumping to code when you need ideas. This Skill adapts the AI's behavior, communication style, and output format to match the type of task at hand. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six Core Modes: Brainstorm, Implement, Debug, Review, Teach, and Ship modes each define distinct behaviors and output formats for different task types. - Automatic Mode Detection: Trigger keywords like "bug", "deploy", or "explain" automatically activate the appropriate mode, with support for manual switching via slash commands. - Multi-Agent Patterns: Includes 2025-era collaboration patterns such as Plan-Execute-Critic cycles and mental model synchronization for complex tasks. - Use Case: When you say "the login page throws an error", the AI enters Debug mode and responds with a structured diagnosis covering symptom, root cause, fix, and prevention instead of generic advice. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to review your pull request and it will automatically enter Review mode with severity-categorized feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions about behavioral-modes

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I switch AI behavior modes manually?▼

Use slash commands like /brainstorm, /implement, /debug, or /review followed by your task description. The AI will adopt the corresponding mode's behavior and output format for that request.

How does automatic mode detection work?▼

The AI scans your message for trigger keywords mapped to each mode. Words like "error" or "bug" activate Debug mode, while "deploy" or "release" activate Ship mode, without requiring explicit commands.

What output format does Debug mode produce?▼

Debug mode produces a structured diagnosis with four sections: symptom, root cause, fix, and prevention. It emphasizes systematic investigation through hypothesis formation, testing, and verification rather than quick patches.

Can multiple behavioral modes be combined in one task?▼

Yes, the Plan-Execute-Critic pattern chains modes cyclically: a Planner decomposes the task, an Executor implements the code, and a Critic reviews it for security and performance issues.

When should I not use Implement mode?▼

Avoid Implement mode during early planning or architecture decisions where requirements are unclear. Use Brainstorm mode first to explore alternatives, then switch to Implement once the direction is settled.
