/research
Focused research investigations. Converts questions into structured findings with confidence levels and source citations. Single agent by default; with --parallel (or when the question decomposes into 3+ independent angles) it spawns scout agents whose findings are compressed

Other skills on citadel.
- /architect
Given a PRD, produces an implementation architecture: file tree, component breakdown, data model, and a phased build plan with end conditions that Archon can execute directly. Multi-candidate evaluation for key decisions.
Open skill - /archon
Autonomous multi-session campaign agent. Decomposes large work into phases, delegates to sub-agents, reviews output, and maintains campaign state across context windows. Use for work that spans multiple sessions and needs persistent state, quality judgment, and strategic
Open skill - /ascii-diagram
Generate perfectly aligned ASCII diagrams — architecture, flow, sequence, box-and-arrow. Uses a programmatic character-grid approach so alignment is guaranteed by math, not token prediction. Includes post-render verification.
Open skill - /autopilot
Intake-to-delivery pipeline. Processes pending items from .planning/intake/: briefs new ideas, executes approved work through research → plan → build → verify. Drop a file in .planning/intake/ and invoke this skill.
Open skill - /cost
Deep cost exploration and transparency. Shows real token usage, session costs, campaign spend, burn rates, and model breakdown. Reads Claude Code's native session data for exact numbers. Complements /dashboard with focused cost views.
Open skill - /create-app
End-to-end app creation from a single description. Five tiers: blank project, guided, templated, fully generated, or feature addition to existing codebase. Routes through PRD, architecture, and Archon campaign with verification at every step.
