Individual skill
using-compass
Use at the START of any task in a compass-enabled repo, or whenever you're unsure which capability fits. Indexes compass's guardrails, red-team, router, commands, subagents, and skills so you reach for the right tool instead of working ad-hoc. Read this before hand-writing config, reviewing a diff, adding a dependency, picking a model, or running untrusted code.

# Using compass
compass is already wired into this environment. Before you work ad-hoc, check whether a
compass capability does it better — and safer.
## What you have (reach for these)
| Need | Reach for | How |
|---|---|---|
| Write/repair a repo's `CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md` | **bootstrap-agent-config** skill | grounded in the actual repo |
| Security pass before shipping | **harden** skill · `compass scan` · `compass redteam` | secrets · injection · supply-chain |
| Pick the cheapest correct model | `compass route "<task>"` | haiku/sonnet/opus, eval-scored |
| Review/implement with the right specialist | **route** skill · `/review` · `/team-review` | domain-routed, not generic |
| Everyday commands | `/tdd /spec /ship /pr /adr /triage /scaffold /cost /onboard /sdlc` | saved workflows |
