Skills Trifecta — DevCom5, Synk182, Solid8

Three Cursor / Claude agent skills that keep projects understood, in sync, and lean — coordinated via docs/PULSE.json.

Skill	Alias	Role	Core question
DevCom5	Logger	Docs, audit, comms	What does this project know about itself?
Synk182	Symphonous Strategist	Bidirectional sync	Are the copies in agreement?
Solid8	Denser / Shrinksmith	Consolidation	What can be unified without losing meaning?

Full cross-skill protocol: docs/TRIFECTA.md

Install via skills.sh CLI

npx skills add SPRIC76/skills-trifecta

Install (Cursor)

Copy each skill folder to personal skills (all projects) or project skills (repo-only):

# Personal (~/.cursor/skills/)
devcom5/
synk182/
solid8/

# Project (.cursor/skills/<name>/)

Requirements: Python 3.10+ optional, for synk182/scripts/synk_engine.py and solid8/scripts/denser_engine.py.

Install (Claude Desktop)

Use one of these methods:

Method A: Drag-and-drop package (if you create .skill files)

1. Package each skill folder as <name>.skill (zip archive format).
2. Open Claude Desktop and drag the .skill file into the app.
3. Confirm the skill is installed and visible in your available skills.

Method B: Manual folder install

1. Locate your Claude skills directory from Claude settings or docs.
2. Copy devcom5/, synk182/, and solid8/ into that skills directory.
3. Restart Claude Desktop so it reloads skills.

If your Claude environment uses managed skill paths (for example /mnt/skills/user/), place each skill folder there.

IDE and agent compatibility

These skills are markdown instruction packs (SKILL.md + optional references/ + optional scripts/), so they can work in most agent-capable environments:

Environment	Works?	How to use
Cursor	Yes	Copy folders into ~/.cursor/skills/ or .cursor/skills/
Claude Desktop	Yes	Drag .skill package or copy folders into Claude skills path
Claude Code / agent runtimes	Yes	Place folders in the runtime skills directory
Other IDEs with skill/plugin support	Usually	Import/copy each skill folder according to that IDE's skill format
Plain IDE with no agent skill system	Limited	Use docs/scripts manually; auto-trigger behavior will not apply

For non-Cursor, non-Claude IDEs, the critical requirement is support for instruction-based agent skills. If unsupported, you can still reuse the workflow docs and Python scripts manually.

Recommended workflows

• Full trifecta: DevCom5 (Cartographer) → Synk182 → Solid8 → DevCom5 (Architect)
• Docs + lean: DevCom5 → Solid8 → DevCom5
• Sync + lean: Synk182 → Solid8

Safety (general use)

These skills guide an AI agent — they do not auto-run destructive actions.

• Synk182 and Solid8 require explicit user approval for merges and consolidation.
• Archives are written under [project]/ARCHIVE/ before risky operations.
• Review archives and proposals before deleting anything.

DevCom5 — Logger

Far from the woods and a lager, look farther. One might never glimpse a forest through the trees, never stood tall, aye, they'd bend at their knees

Three modes: Cartographer (read/diagnose) · Architect (5-doc system) · Scribe (proposals, specs, internal comms).

Highlights:

• Adaptive depth: Pulse → Standard → Thorough → Deep (can shift mid-scan)
• Digest system via docs/PULSE.json — read first, write last
• Five-document framework in /docs: INDEX, ARCHITECTURE, USER_EXPERIENCE, PLANNING, HISTORY
• Status: 📡 DevCom5: [staleness] | Depth: … | Docs: [n/5]

Triggers: devcom5, dc5, logger, documentation, project status, catch-up, proposals, 3P updates, newsletters, and more (see devcom5/SKILL.md).

References: devcom5/references/ — audit protocol, universal template, comms formats.

Synk182 — The Symphonous Strategist

Categorically and formally forumulated to link between sink, sync, and Blink182

Highlights:

• Similarity spectrum 0% to >100% with six-layer verification
• 60% merge threshold; mandatory review above 60%; ultra-careful superset handling
• Three-tier backup, auto-rollback, archives at [project]/ARCHIVE/synk-[timestamp]/
• Status: 🔄 for scans, rigor shifts, completion

Not Synk: Single-file edits, in-directory moves, redundancy consolidation (→ Solid8).

Script: python synk182/scripts/synk_engine.py (optional engine for large projects).

---

Solid8 — The Shrinksmith Alchemist

Call me Denser if it's not getting through.

"Similar to a dancer phonetically, although I'm not a dancer. I do not dance, nor will I chance to lapse with you in proper trance."

Highlights:

• Tier S–D similarity pipeline; three laws (no delete without approval, lossless merge, archive first)
• Solid8 = solid + ∞ rotated — tames endless project entropy
• Formerly Denser v1.0
• Status: ⚗️

Script: python solid8/scripts/denser_engine.py <target_dir> (optional engine).
