Prepare an Intent Pull Request

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This skill applies the Intent Pull Requests Specification. It turns a complete branch diff, Project Profile, and verified decision sources into a review-ready title, body, and portable record without opening a remote pull request or inventing claims.

Commit with Intent

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This skill combines repository-safe Git packaging with the Intent Commits Specification. It keeps type, scope, impact, migration, affected release units, and changeset links evidence-bound. After committing, it uses ACK’s repository-aware link validator to detect missing or contradictory Intent Changesets decisions.

It composes the existing commit-changes safety workflow instead of replacing explicit staging, secret checks, line-length validation, or commit verification.

mkdir -p "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills"
curl -fsSL https://vacua.dev/skills/commit-with-intent/bundle.tar.gz \
 | tar -xz -C "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills"

Invoke

$commit-with-intent commit the staged changes using our ACK profile

The skill returns NEEDS_INPUT instead of inventing scope, release impact, migration guidance, issue references, or changeset identifiers.

Configure an Intent Project

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This skill creates or reviews the Project Profile shared by Intent Commits, Intent Changesets, Intent Changelog, Release Manifests, and ACK. It discovers real release units and streams instead of duplicating policy in each tool.

Invoke

$configure-intent-project configure ACK for this monorepo

Maintain a Release Manifest

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This skill applies the Release Manifest Specification to record and verify what was actually published. It distinguishes repository-level proof from remote artifacts that were not fetched or verified.

Install

mkdir -p "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills"
curl -fsSL https://vacua.dev/skills/maintain-release-manifest/bundle.tar.gz \
 | tar -xz -C "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills"

Invoke

$maintain-release-manifest verify the worker 1.18.3 release

Maintain an Intent Changelog

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This skill applies the Intent Changelog Specification. It keeps unreleased records complete, consumes changeset targets, validates and renders them with ACK, and enforces date-only publication. Canonical generation carries verified commit provenance through changesets into the correct release-unit records.

It does not turn Unreleased into an editorial inbox or use commit-derived Markdown as the canonical release ledger.

$maintain-intent-changelog add this change to the worker release record

Maintain an Intent Changeset

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This skill applies the Intent Changesets Specification. It helps an agent decide whether a noteworthy change needs a changeset, link relevant commits, and consume each target into the correct changelog release record.

One changeset represents one release decision—not one commit or pull request. The skill uses ACK to validate the shared profile, enforce identifier uniqueness, create canonical pending records, validate commit links, consume every release-unit target, and gate publication until consumption is complete.
