Reasoning-first development for Claude Code. Git is the source of truth; status is derived, never stored. YOLO turns "I want X" into a planned, executed, verified, and landed change, driven by conversation and git rather than tracked status files.
Other skills on yolo.
- /yolo-debug
Use when a reported problem, failure, or bug needs a systematic root-cause investigation — reproduce → isolate → fix → verify — recorded as one durable artifact. Triggers on "fix the 500 on login", "X is broken", "why is Y failing?", "debug this", "track down this bug".
Open skill - /yolo-decide
Use when facing a design or architecture decision that benefits from multiple perspectives before committing. Produces a decision record under workspace/decisions/. Triggers on "help me decide X vs Y", "which approach", "should we use A or B".
Open skill - /yolo-feature
Use when the user wants to build, add, or implement a feature. Captures intent, drafts a brief, confirms, then composes research → plan → execute → verify → finish. In a YOLO-initialized repo this takes precedence over generic brainstorming for feature intent.
Open skill - /yolo-finish
Use when a feature is implemented and verified, to land it. Default path is PR + CI check, with the ship gate confirming before the irreversible merge; fast-local is the escape hatch. Includes the risk classifier whose hard triggers always stop for a human. Triggers on "ship
Open skill - /yolo-init
Use when setting up YOLO in a project for the first time, or repairing the setup. Scaffolds workspace/config.yaml and the features/, decisions/, and debug/ dirs (plus docs/ for the docs engine), and installs the CLAUDE.md routing block. Triggers on "set up YOLO here", "init
Open skill - /yolo-intake
Use when a feature should draw on the project's reference material for context. yolo-intake does NOT fetch, import, or copy anything — it points YOLO at a selected folder (default `docs/`) and READS from it to enrich a feature's context. Getting material INTO that folder (a
