A small starter pack of general-purpose workflow skills. These are
Claude-compatible skills: each is a directory with a
SKILL.md the agent loads on demand via the skill tool, keyed off the
description field.
They are not installed automatically. To use one, copy its directory into a
skills location dirge discovers — .dirge/skills/ (or .claude/skills/ /
.opencode/skills/) in your project or home directory:
# per project
cp -r skills/systematic-debugging .dirge/skills/
# or globally for every project
cp -r skills/code-review-feedback ~/.dirge/skills/dirge picks them up at the next startup and lists them in the skill tool.
| Skill | Loads when |
|---|---|
systematic-debugging |
hitting a bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior — find root cause before fixing |
code-review-feedback |
acting on review feedback — verify and reason before implementing, no performative agreement |
writing-skills |
authoring or editing a skill |
dirge already enforces several disciplines at the loop level — the verifier
gate (verify before done), the cross-turn failure-recovery checkpoint, the
/plan phased workflow, and the goal gate. These skills complement those with
proactive guidance the model reaches for itself; they don't replace the
gates.
systematic-debugging and code-review-feedback are adapted from the
superpowers project by Jesse Vincent,
used under the MIT License. writing-skills distills superpowers' skill-authoring
guidance for dirge's skill system. The originals were vendored via
MiMo-Code; adapted here to dirge
conventions (no cross-skill orchestration runtime, dirge-native tooling).
