Error Message Translator

What it does

Meaning: the code tried to read email from a user object that
doesn't exist.

Likely causes:
1. The user lookup returned null (bad id): check the id passed in.
2. The user was deleted between lookup and use.
3. The field mapping is wrong and email is on a different object.

Try first: log the user object right before line 47.

What this one touches

Create it at ~/workspace/skills/release-notes-writer/SKILL.md following skill-creator conventions (name and description frontmatter; Purpose, Workflow, Output Contract, Operating Rules sections). Then confirm it is installed and tell me the trigger phrases. --- SOURCE --- --- name: release-notes-writer description: Turns commits and merged PRs since the last tag into a clean changelog or release-notes draft, grouped by breaking changes, features, fixes, and chores. Trigger phrases: "write release notes", "draft a changelog", "summarize this release", "what changed since v", "cut release notes". --- # Purpose Do one narrow job: turn the raw history since your last release tag into release notes a human would be proud to ship. Point it at a repo and a tag (or the previous release), and it reads the commits and merged PRs in between, groups the changes by impact (breaking changes, new features, fixes, chores), and drafts notes written for the reader of the release, not the author of the commit. It names what changed, who it affects, and how to migrate when behavior changed. # Workflow 1. Identify the range: the previous release tag and the current HEAD (or the new tag you are about to cut). Confirm both with the user if they are ambiguous. 2. Collect the raw material: commit subjects since the previous tag, plus merged PR titles and labels when the repo uses them. 3. Sort every change into groups: Breaking changes, New features, Fixes, Chores and internals. Reword cryptic commit subjects into plain descriptions of what changed and why it matters to the person using the software. 4. For breaking changes, add a migration note: what the old behavior was, what the new behavior is, and the smallest change a user must make. 5. Draft the notes in a standard shape: version header, highlights line (the two or three changes that matter most), then the grouped lists. Keep each bullet to one line. 6. Present the draft and ask which entries to cut or keep before finalizing. Never invent changes that are not in the commit history. # Output Contract - A version header with the new tag and date - A highlights line: the two or three most important changes - Grouped bullets: Breaking changes, New features, Fixes, Chores - Migration notes attached to every breaking change - A note on any commit that could not be classified, rather than dropping it silently # Operating Rules - Never invent a change that is not in the commits or merged PRs. - Never bury a breaking change in the fixes list; it always gets its own group and a migration note. - Write for the reader of the release, not the author of the commit: plain words, no internal jargon. - Keep bullets to one line; cut entries the user flags as noise. - Ask which tag range to use when it is ambiguous, instead of guessing.

• Release Radar

  Watches the repos you name and summarizes new releases, skipping the noise.

Create it at ~/workspace/skills/release-radar/SKILL.md following skill-creator conventions (name and description frontmatter; Purpose, Workflow, Output Contract, Operating Rules sections). Then confirm it is installed and tell me the trigger phrases. --- SOURCE --- --- name: release-radar description: Watch a list of repos for new releases and get a short summary of the ones that matter to you. Trigger phrases: "what did I miss", "repo updates", "new releases", "check release radar". --- # Purpose Do one narrow job: keep you current on the projects you actually use. You name the repos you care about, and on each check the skill looks for releases newer than the last check, reads the release notes, and gives you a short rundown of what changed and why it might matter. Everything it reports is marked as seen, so you never read the same release twice. # Workflow 1. Set up your watch list: repo names (owner/name) plus one line on why each matters to you, for example "my blog's framework" or "the linter in CI". Add or remove entries anytime. 2. On each run, check every repo for releases newer than the last recorded check. Record a timestamp and the newest release seen per repo. 3. For each new release, read the release notes and write a two to four line plain-language summary: the version, the headline change, and who should care. Flag breaking changes, security fixes, and new features. 4. Rank the summaries: breaking changes first, then security fixes, then features, then everything else. Bugfix-only patch releases get one line, never a paragraph. 5. Mark everything reviewed as seen, so the next check reports only what is new. A repo with no new release is not mentioned; silence is the correct output for a quiet week. 6. When release notes are vague, say so and link the release page instead of guessing what changed. # Output Contract - Per repo with a new release: version, headline summary (2-4 lines), and flags: breaking change, security fix, or feature - Order: breaking changes, then security fixes, then features, then patch notes - Quiet repos: omitted entirely - End with the count of repos checked and the count with new releases Keep the whole digest under 25 lines unless the user asks for more. # Operating Rules - Never invent release details. If the release notes are empty or vague, link the release page and say the notes are thin. - Never mark a release as seen without reporting it first. - Do not clone repositories or run code; read release metadata only. - Never access private repositories unless the user explicitly names the repo and provides a way to read it in this session. - Never recommend upgrading a dependency. Describe what changed; the user decides. - If a check fails for a repo (rate limit, moved repo, 404), report the repo name and the failure, and try again next run.

• Dependency Update Triage

  Turns a scary outdated-dependencies list into safe-now, review, and hold buckets.

  ViewCopy install promptInstall the "Dependency Update Triage" skill. Its full source is below. Create it at ~/workspace/skills/dependency-update-triage/SKILL.md following skill-creator conventions (name and description frontmatter; Purpose, Workflow, Output Contract, Operating Rules sections). Then confirm it is installed and tell me the trigger phrases. --- SOURCE --- --- name: dependency-update-triage description: Classify outdated dependencies into safe-now, needs-review, and hold buckets from package manager output, with an upgrade order. Trigger phrases: "triage my dependency updates", "which dependencies are safe to update", "check outdated dependencies". --- # Purpose An outdated-dependencies list is a wall of version numbers that hides the two or three updates that actually matter. Dependency Update Triage reads that list, classifies each jump as patch, minor, or major, checks what is known about each one, and sorts everything into three buckets: safe now, needs review, and hold. The result is an upgrade plan with an order of operations, not a guessing game. # Workflow 1. Collect the outdated list. The user pastes the output of a command like `npm outdated`, `pip list --outdated`, `cargo outdated`, or `composer outdated`, or points the assistant at the project directory and has it run the read-only listing command there. 2. For each package, record the current version, the latest available version, and the jump type: patch, minor, or major. 3. For every major jump, look at the actual changelog or release notes. Record whether breaking changes are documented, whether a migration guide exists, and whether any linked issue is still open. 4. Check each package for deprecation notices, yanked versions, and published security advisories. Note the source of each finding. 5. Assign every package to exactly one bucket: - Safe now: patch or minor jumps with no advisories and no breaking indicators. - Needs review: major jumps, anything with an open security advisory, or a package whose changelog cannot be read. - Hold: deprecated packages, abandoned maintainers, or updates known to conflict with another dependency in the list. 6. Order the safe-now bucket from lowest risk to highest: patches first, then minors with the smallest version distance. 7. Write the report in the Output Contract shape and send it. # Output Contract One line per package, grouped by bucket in this order: Safe now, Needs review, Hold. Each line carries: - Package: name - Current to latest: "1.4.2 to 1.4.9" - Jump: patch, minor, or major - Note: one short reason for the bucket (for example, "major with migration guide" or "CVE-2026-1140 fixed in latest") End with a suggested order: apply Safe now first, lowest risk to highest, then tackle Needs review one at a time. Include the exact commands for each step so the user can approve and run them. # Operating Rules - Never run an install, upgrade, or migration command without the user approving that exact command first. - Never edit package.json, requirements files, Cargo.toml, lockfiles, or vendored code. Classification is read-only work. - Never invent changelog contents. If the changelog cannot be read, put the package in Needs review and say the changelog is unknown. - Treat a major jump with no readable changelog as Needs review, not Safe now. - If the project's test suite exists, recommend running it after each bucket before moving on, but do not run it without approval.
