Evolve Skill

Checklist and automation guide for adding a new skill to the OPC Skills project. Ensures all required files, metadata, logos, and listings are created before release. Use when adding a new skill, publishing a skill, or preparing a skill for release.

Audit project dependencies for version staleness, security vulnerabilities, and compatibility issues. Covers lock file analysis, upgrade path planning, and breaking change assessment. Use before a release to ensure dependencies are current and secure, during periodic maintenance reviews, after receiving a security advisory, when upgrading to a new language version, before submitting to CRAN or npm, or when inheriting a project to assess its dependency health.

Evolve an existing agent definition by refining its persona in-place or creating an advanced variant. Covers assessing the current agent against best practices, gathering evolution requirements, choosing scope (refinement vs. variant), applying changes to skills, tools, capabilities, and limitations, updating version metadata, and synchronizing the registry and cross-references. Use when an agent's skills list is outdated, user feedback reveals capability gaps, tool requirements have changed, an advanced variant is needed alongside the original, or the agent's scope needs sharpening after real-world use.

Guide a person in becoming a better teacher and explainer. AI coaches content structuring, audience calibration, explanation clarity, Socratic questioning technique, feedback interpretation, and reflective practice for technical presentations, documentation, and mentoring. Use when a person needs to present technical content and wants preparation coaching, wants to write better documentation or tutorials, struggles to explain concepts across expertise levels, is mentoring a colleague, or is preparing for a talk or knowledge-sharing session.

Prepare an organisation for regulatory inspection by assessing readiness against agency-specific focus areas (FDA, EMA, MHRA). Covers warning letter and 483 theme analysis, mock inspection protocols, document bundle preparation, inspection logistics, and response template creation. Use when a regulatory inspection has been announced or is anticipated, when a periodic self-assessment is due, when new systems have been implemented since the last inspection, or after a significant audit finding that may attract regulatory attention.
