## What wasp-nest-core does, in the publisher's words

Start, route, document and review repository work. Core is required by every optional pack.

This pack contains 18 skills, 14 agents and 9 source commands. The table explains each source skill; open its linked instructions for exact inputs, outputs and limits.

Required packs: Core is the shared foundation; no optional pack is required for its basic methods.

- worker-coordination also needs app-primer-zero.

## Skills

- adr-writing-stinger: Write and govern Architecture Decision Records. Use for new ADRs, supersession, log audits, or ADR tooling. Read guides/ for the decision path.
- branching-strategy-stinger: Choose a Git branching model and release flow. Use for trunk vs GitFlow, hotfixes, merge vs rebase, or feature flags. Read README.md for the guide map.
- code-review-pr-stinger: Improve PR descriptions and review practice. Use for checklists, PR size, comment quality, or rubber-stamp diagnosis. Read README.md for the guide map.
- contract-writing-stinger: Find and write stable shared contracts before parallel PRDs. Use for cross-PRD APIs, events, data shapes, permissions, or state transitions, and for contract drift.
- dependency-audit-stinger: Audit dependencies for the target repository's ecosystem: lockfiles, vulnerability triage, SBOM and provenance. Use for supply-chain or publish safety; Hivemind is a worked npm example.
- get-started-stinger: Onboard home instructions and initialize new or existing repos with Library, CI, and knowledge docs. Use for first-session setup or a repo missing wasp-nest.lock.
- git-stinger: Teach safe Git basics in disposable practice repositories, or handle rebase, conflicts, recovery, history, worktrees, and hooks. Read README.md for guides.
- github-repo-health-stinger: Audit GitHub repository hygiene. Use for branch protection, CI checks, CODEOWNERS, templates, README coverage, or commit history. Read README.md for the guide map.
- harness-integration-stinger: Wire Wasp Nest capabilities across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Cowork. Use for skill, agent, hook, MCP, or plugin portability. Read README.md for the guide map.
- knowledge-stinger: Write narrative knowledge docs for a repository. Use for architecture overviews, diagrams, auth flows, schema references, or coding standards. Read README.md for the guide map.
- library-stinger: Maintain Library Schema v2 docs and reusable workflow templates. Use for PRDs, IRDs, knowledge docs, lifecycle moves, issue ingest or drift audits. Read README.md for the guide map.
- pest-controller-suit: Route Wasp Nest tasks to the right Drone, arm its Stinger, and enforce the Ship Gate. Use before multi-Drone work. Read README.md for the guide map.
