Frequently Asked Questions About Mark West

FAQPage Schema
What tasks can I accomplish with MWest2020's skill collection?

The 46 skills cover document processing (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX), web quality audits (performance, accessibility, SEO, Core Web Vitals), code review for maintainability and over-engineering, adversarial spec analysis, decision reasoning frameworks, Obsidian markdown editing, and frontend design with React, Tailwind, and p5.js generative art.

Who is the target audience for these skills?

Software engineers, web developers, and technical writers benefit most. Frontend engineers use the web-quality and design skills; maintainers use ponytail-review and maintainability-review for refactoring; architects use archify for system diagrams; and spec authors use advocatus-diaboli and choice-cartographer for decision review.

How do the web quality audit skills work in practice?

The web-quality-audit, performance, accessibility, seo, and core-web-vitals skills run evidence-led audits using Lighthouse-style lab and field data. They diagnose LCP, INP, and CLS regressions, check WCAG 2.2 compliance, validate meta tags and structured data, and produce prioritized optimization recommendations.

What do the ponytail and caveman skills do?

Ponytail enforces minimal solutions: standard library over dependencies, YAGNI checks, and deletion-focused code review via ponytail-review, ponytail-audit, and ponytail-debt ledger tracking. Caveman compresses communication output by roughly 75% while preserving technical accuracy, with lite, full, and ultra intensity levels.

What security review capabilities are included?

The owasp-security skill covers OWASP Top 10:2025, ASVS 5.0, LLM Top 10, and agentic security guidance for code review and authentication design. The thinking-red-team skill models attackers, maps attack surfaces, and reports only findings with reproducible exploit paths and verified mitigations.
