SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

AI systems often struggle to adapt to varied tasks—this skill provides clearly defined operating modes (brainstorm, implement, debug, review, teach, ship, orchestrate) to govern how the AI approaches problems, communicates, and prioritizes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mode library and explicit rules for Brainstorm, Implement, Debug, Review, Teach, Ship, and Orchestrate.
  • Automatic mode detection that maps user prompts to the appropriate mode and applies mode-specific behavior.
  • Multi-Agent Collaboration patterns such as EXPLORE, PLAN-EXECUTE-CRITIC, and MENTAL MODEL SYNC to coordinate complex tasks across stages.

Quick Start

Activate Behavioral Modes to switch the AI's operating mode for your current task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I switch AI behavior modes for different tasks like coding or debugging?

You can switch AI behavior modes by activating adaptive operating modes that map your prompts to specific contexts like brainstorm, implement, debug, review, teach, ship, or orchestrate. This enforces mode-specific instructions and guardrails to ensure consistent workflows.

What are the available adaptive modes for guiding AI workflows?

The available adaptive modes include Brainstorm, Implement, Debug, Review, Teach, Ship, and Orchestrate, each providing explicit rules to govern how the AI approaches problems, communicates, and prioritizes tasks.

How do I coordinate complex tasks across multiple stages using AI behavior modes?

You coordinate complex tasks using multi-agent collaboration patterns like EXPLORE, PLAN-EXECUTE-CRITIC, and MENTAL MODEL SYNC, which are built into the adaptive modes to manage multi-stage workflows.

Does this mode detection approach work without external dependencies?

Yes, the adaptive mode detection operates without external dependencies, relying entirely on mode-specific instructions and guardrails defined in its internal frontmatter and body to ensure safe, consistent workflows.

When should I use orchestration mode versus implement mode for code generation?

Use orchestration mode to coordinate complex tasks across multiple stages using patterns like PLAN-EXECUTE-CRITIC, while implement mode is for direct code generation and execution tasks following specific behavioral guardrails.
