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 their task type. - Automatic Mode Detection: Trigger keywords like "bug", "review", or "deploy" automatically activate the matching mode, and slash commands like /debug allow manual switching. - Multi-Agent Patterns: Includes 2025 collaboration patterns such as Explore mode, Plan-Execute-Critic cycles, and mental model synchronization for complex tasks. - Use Case: When you say "the login is not working", the AI enters Debug mode and responds with a structured symptom, root cause, fix, and prevention analysis 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 such as /brainstorm, /implement, /debug, or /review followed by your request. The AI then adopts the behavior and output format defined for that mode.

How does automatic mode detection work?▼

The AI matches trigger words in your prompt to modes: "what if" activates Brainstorm, "bug" or "error" activates Debug, "review" activates Review, and "deploy" activates Ship mode.

What output format does Debug mode produce?▼

Debug mode returns a structured analysis with four parts: the observed symptom, the root cause, the applied fix, and a prevention strategy to avoid recurrence.

Can multiple behavioral modes be combined in one task?▼

Yes, the Plan-Execute-Critic pattern chains Planner, Implement, and Review modes cyclically for complex tasks, with each phase producing artifacts like task.md and review feedback.

What are the limitations of keyword-based mode detection?▼

Keyword triggers can misfire when prompts contain ambiguous wording, such as "review this bug fix". Explicit slash commands are more reliable when the intended mode is unclear from context.
