Skills reference

The SI ships with about 30 /si: skills — a toolbox for the moments you want to take the wheel. Day to day you rarely reach for them; the SI drives itself. They're here when you want direct control.

Session & work

si-dispatch — break a task into pieces and route them.
si-checkpoint — flush in-flight state so you can /clear or /compact safely.
si-document — capture work into durable documentation.
si-review — review a change or piece of work.
si-review-board — run a multi-perspective review pass.

Subminds

si-spawn-submind — spin up a named helper for a scoped task.
si-absorb-submind — fold a submind's findings back in.
si-grant — permission grants and bound-worker setup.

Memory & learning

si-share-memory — share a memory entry to your fleet, with a gate that refuses private and persona entries.
si-absorb-memory — review and accept pending cross-machine memory offers.
si-promote — promote a memory entry to a more durable place.

Bus operations

si-bus — status, send and read messages, approve peers, prune, restart the daemon, set the transport.
si-bus-admin — administrative bus operations.
si-bus-comms — inspect and manage bus communications.
si-bus-transport — show or change the bus transport.

Federation (hub)

si-found — found a bus on this machine.
si-pair — the pairing ceremony to link another machine.
si-admit — approve a join request.
si-evict — remove a member from the hub.

Staying current

si-upgrade — update the SI to the latest release in one step: it fetches, verifies, applies any migrations, checks the result, and reports back. Add --rollback to step back to the previous release.

Tools & health

si-tools — check and manage the CLIs the SI knows, and confirm per-project logins.
si-health — check runtime health.
si-doctor — audit the SI's own integrity; read-only by default.
si-skills — see and adjust which methodology packs guide the SI's work.
si-collab — real-time cross-machine collaboration.
si-uhura — manage the Uhura communications sentinel.

You don't have to memorize these

Ask in plain language and the SI reaches for the right skill on its own. The list is for when you'd rather invoke one directly.
