Bash/Linux terminal patterns. Critical commands, piping, error handling, scripting. Use when working on macOS or Linux systems.
Bash pro
Master of defensive Bash scripting for production automation, CI/CD pipelines, and system utilities. Expert in safe, portable, and testable shell scripts.
Bats testing patterns
Master Bash Automated Testing System (Bats) for comprehensive shell script testing. Use when writing tests for shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or requiring test-driven development of shell utilities.
Bazel build optimization
Optimize Bazel builds for large-scale monorepos. Use when configuring Bazel, implementing remote execution, or optimizing build performance for enterprise codebases.
Bilig workpaper
Use formula-backed WorkPaper JSON and MCP tools for agent spreadsheet tasks without driving Excel or a browser UI.
Binary analysis patterns
Comprehensive patterns and techniques for analyzing compiled binaries, understanding assembly code, and reconstructing program logic.
Boost asio pro
Use when writing asynchronous C++ networking code with Boost.Asio or standalone Asio — TCP/UDP servers and clients, SSL/TLS, timers, strands, composed async ops. Covers io_context, co_spawn, awaitable, async_read/async_write, asio::spawn, yield_context, and pr
Brainstorming
Use before creative or constructive work (features, architecture, behavior). Transforms vague ideas into validated designs through disciplined reasoning and collaboration.
Brendangregg use tsa
Methodical performance troubleshooting and root-cause analysis with Brendan Gregg's USE and TSA methods, plus evidence-backed RCA and postmortem reports.
Broken authentication
Identify and exploit authentication and session management vulnerabilities in web applications. Broken authentication consistently ranks in the OWASP Top 10 and can lead to account takeover, identity theft, and unauthorized access to sensitive systems.
Brooks audit
Architecture audit that maps module dependencies, checks layering integrity, and flags structural decay across a codebase, drawing on twelve classic engineering books.
Brooks debt
Tech debt assessment that identifies, classifies, and prioritizes maintainability problems — helping teams build a refactoring roadmap — drawing on twelve classic engineering books.
Brooks harness
Maintenance orchestrator for the brooks-lint plugin itself.
Brooks lint
AI code reviewer grounded in classic software engineering books for catching design smells, coupling issues, and architectural risks.
Brooks review
PR code review that surfaces decay risks, design smells, and maintainability issues with concrete Symptom → Source → Consequence → Remedy findings, drawing on twelve classic engineering books.
Brooks sweep
Full-sweep mode: runs a unified analysis across all quality dimensions — code decay, architecture, tech debt, and test quality — then applies fixes directly to the codebase. Safe changes are auto-applied; risky changes are confirmed before execution.
Brooks test
Review test-suite quality using established testing literature; identify brittleness, mock abuse, unclear fixtures, weak assertions, slow feedback, and maintenance risks.
Browser automation
Build reliable browser checks using observed UI state, semantic locators, bounded waits, isolated test data and explicit outcome verification.
Browser extension builder
Expert in building browser extensions that solve real problems - Chrome, Firefox, and cross-browser extensions. Covers extension architecture, manifest v3, content scripts, popup UIs, monetization strategies, and Chrome Web Store publishing.
Browser extension reverse
Authorized reverse engineering of Chrome/Firefox extensions: manifest analysis, background workers, content scripts, and extension-based credential or data-exposure research.
Browser testing with devtools
Test browser apps with Chrome DevTools MCP by inspecting live DOM, console logs, network traffic, screenshots, accessibility, and performance traces.
Bug hunt swarm
Parallel read-only multi-agent root-cause investigation for bugs, regressions, crashes, flaky behavior, or unexplained failures.
Bugs are annoying
Adversarial code auditor that hunts down bugs, logic errors, and security flaws. Use for deep correctness passes, not style reviews.
