Generates 3 diverse solutions using different strategies (simplicity/performance/extensibility), evaluates with weighted rubric, and selects best approach with rationale
What is it?
- Analyzes the task to determine if ensemble approach is valuable
- Generates 3 distinct prompts using appropriate diversification strategy
- Spawns 3 parallel subagents to develop solutions independently
- Evaluates all solutions using weighted criteria
- Returns the best solution with explanation and alternatives summary
How to use it?
Install this skill in your Claude environment to enhance ensemble problem solving capabilities. Once installed, Claude will automatically apply the skill's guidelines when relevant tasks are detected. You can also explicitly invoke it by referencing its name in your prompts.The full source and documentation is available on GitHub.
Key Features
- Generates 3 diverse solutions using different strategies (simplicity/performance/extensibility), evaluates with weighted rubric, and selects best approach with rationale
- Seamless integration with Claude's development workflow
- Comprehensive guidelines and best practices for ensemble problem solvingView on GitHub

caveman
Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.
secure-linux-web-hosting
Use when setting up, hardening, or reviewing a cloud server for self-hosting, including DNS, SSH, firewalls, Nginx, static-site hosting, reverse-proxying an app, HTTPS with Let's Encrypt or ACME clients, safe HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects, or optional post-launch network tuning such as BBR.

Use when first setting up lark-cli, running auth login, switching user/bot identity (--as), handling permission denied or scope errors, needing to update lark-cli, or seeing _notice in JSON output.
improve-codebase-architecture
Find deepening opportunities in a codebase, informed by the domain language in CONTEXT.md and the decisions in docs/adr/. Use when the user wants to improve architecture, find refactoring opportunities, consolidate tightly-coupled modules, or make a codebase more testable and AI-navigable.
paper-context-resolver
Optional RigorPilot helper for README-first deep learning repo reproduction. Use only when the README and repository files leave a narrow reproduction-critical gap and the task is to resolve a specific paper detail such as dataset split, preprocessing, evaluation protocol, checkpoint mapping, or runtime assumption from primary paper sources while recording conflicts. Do not use for general paper summary, repo scanning, environment setup, command execution, title-only paper lookup, or replacin...
