Frequently Asked Questions About Valadis Novakovits
FAQPage SchemaWhat tasks can I accomplish with vnovakovits's skills?▼
You can apply 40 named methodologies: write and refactor tests (TDD, xUnit patterns, Osherove, Khorikov), design systems (DDD, hexagonal architecture, event sourcing/CQRS, SOLID, CUPID), improve delivery flow (Kanban, continuous delivery, Reinertsen's economics), and draft tickets, PRs, ADRs, and concise prose.
Who are these skills designed for?▼
Software engineers, tech leads, and architects working on non-trivial codebases, plus product-minded practitioners running discovery. Skills span OO and functional paradigms (C# with LanguageExt, F#, TypeScript), legacy-code rescue, and lean product development for teams and individuals.
How do I use these skills in practice?▼
Each skill is a self-contained folder with native frontmatter (name and description) describing when to activate it. Load the relevant skill when its trigger conditions match — e.g., activate event-sourcing-cqrs for ES/CQRS questions or ticket-writer when drafting Jira, Linear, or GitHub issues.
Are these skills free and open source?▼
The skills are published in a public registry under the vnovakovits account with 10 public repositories. They codify published books and methodologies (Fowler, Evans, Beck, Humble/Farley) as reference guidance; no paid runtime, service, or license fee is indicated in the manifest.
What prerequisites or dependencies do the skills require?▼
No external dependencies are specified — skills are methodology guidance, not libraries. Language-specific skills note their scope: language-ext-csharp requires C# code importing LanguageExt, and domain-modeling-made-functional targets typed languages (F#, Scala, Kotlin, TypeScript, C#), skipping dynamic codebases.
