Control desktop applications on Windows — launch, close, focus, resize, move windows, simulate keyboard/mouse input, manage processes, control VSCode, read clipboard, and capture screen info. Use when the user wants to interact with any running program, switch windows, type text, press shortcuts, open files in VSCode, manage running processes, or get system display information.
Conduct rigorous, adversarial code reviews with zero tolerance for mediocrity. Use when users ask to "critically review" my code or a PR, "critique my code", "find issues in my code", or "what's wrong with this code". Identifies security holes, lazy patterns, edge case failures, and bad practices across Python, R, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, and front-end code. Scrutinizes error handling, type safety, performance, accessibility, and code quality. Provides structured feedback with severity tiers (Blocking, Required, Suggestions) and specific, actionable recommendations.
Coding style memory that adapts to your preferences, conventions, and patterns for consistent coding.
Pragmatic coding standards for writing clean, maintainable code — naming, functions, structure, anti-patterns, and pre-edit safety checks. Use when writing new code, refactoring existing code, reviewing code quality, or establishing coding standards.
