Rigorous engineering skills and principles from the Cursor plugin pstack by Lauren Tan.

What pstack does, in the publisher's words

Packages pstack skills and principles as a Kiro power, so they install in one step and activate on keyword.

pstack is a set of rigorous engineering workflows by Lauren Tan (github, twitter). It includes many skills and principles covering bug fixes, performance, architecture, code review, and more. See the pstack README or guide for more details.

pstack already follows the open Agent Skills standard, which Kiro implements. Each skill is a directory holding a SKILL.md plus optional playbooks/, references/, and scripts/. Kiro reads that format directly, so skills/ here is a near-verbatim mirror of upstream.

Skills · 50

architect
Sketch types, signatures, and module structure before code, then stay in the loop while implementation fills in. Use for /architect, 'architect this', 'design this', or non-trivial work where jumping to code would lock in the wrong shape.
arena
Spawn N parallel candidates at the same task, pick a base, graft the strongest parts of the losers into it. Use for /arena, 'arena this', 'throw it in the arena', or when one attempt at a non-trivial artifact would lock in the wrong shape.
automate-me
Use for \"automate me\", \"create/update/refresh my -mode skill\", \"turn/capture my preferences or working style into a skill\", or wanting agents to follow how the user works. Drafts or revises a personal -mode skill via create-skill + unslop, optionally pulling fresh evidence from recent transcr…
benchmark-checklist
blast-radius
Find what a change could break somewhere else before it ships, beyond the diff, and prove the one fact it's safe because of by running real code instead of writing it up. Use for 'blast radius of X', 'what could this break', or reviewing a small diff you don't trust.
bro
Restate the last message in plain human language, with no jargon.
comment-sicko
A deranged comment-hater that savors deletion and condemns workaround code.
correct
create-verification-skill
Generate a project-local verification skill that drives your app the way a user does, any language, framework, or platform. Use for /create-verification-skill, \"make a control skill for this repo\", or when a project has no scripted way to prove UI/CLI/service behavior.
figure-it-out
Design an auditable playbook when no narrower one fits: a large migration, an ambitious multi-part change, or work a human reviews after stepping away. Scales rigor to the task, runs a hypothesis loop, and logs decisions via show-me-your-work. Use for /figure-it-out, 'figure it out', a large migrat…
how
Use for \"how does X work\", code walkthroughs before changing something, and placement / ownership / layering questions (\"where should this live\", \"which package owns this\", \"is this the right layer\"). Explains subsystem architecture, runtime flow, onboarding mental models. Use why for motiv…
interrogate
Use for \"interrogate\", \"adversarial review\", \"multi-model review\", \"challenge this\", \"stress test this code\", \"find blind spots\", or \"tear this apart\". Multiple LLM reviewers challenge changes from independent angles.
maintain-verification-skill
Periodic pass that keeps a project's verification skill and feature map honest: parallel source readers per feature, one live session driving every feature, at most one PR of proven corrections. Use for /maintain-verification-skill or \"audit the verify skill\".
no-comments
Spawn Comment Sicko, fix accepted findings, and offer encodings for claimed constraints.
