Standard Quality Assurance — does this PR actually address the issue, and are the tests sufficient to ensure the change works? Recommends additional test cases. Spawnable by both control (pre-merge sweep) and assets (per-iteration self-check). Owner + control are the final merge gate.

Rank the open issue backlog for the closed loop by triage priority (bug > refactoring > feature), filtered to dispatchable issues, with cost estimates. Invoked by the outer-loop (control) when picking the next dispatch target. Trigger on "rank backlog", "what's next", or /backlog.

Dispatch a long-lived asset (single Claude Code session in a tmux window) to take a single GitHub issue end-to-end. Composes the brief + role-contract, invokes assets-dispatch, arms the heartbeat + PR-completion monitors. Trigger on "dispatch issue

Inner-loop GEPA-style iterative optimization. Pareto frontier over (perf, cost-time, cost-$) with LLM reflection on execution traces. Noise-robust (replicate before promoting a noisy metric). Scope is the artifact class the dispatch brief names (e.g. a prompt). Trigger on "optimize the prompt", "run a GEPA pass", or /optimize.

Cut a release tag at a CI-green merged commit, then invoke the `retro` skill for the release-window cross-PR synthesis. Does NOT deploy / arm / promote — those stay human-gated. Trigger on "cut release", "release the current head", or /release.

Outer-loop release-cadence skill — synthesize across a release window of merged PRs + closed issues + git to propose higher-order playbook updates the per-PR review pass wouldn't catch. Cross-workstream patterns only. Trigger on "run a retro", "release retro", or /retro.
