Skills

• SkillUSD 2

  Profiling Session

  Runs a structured profiling pass on a slow path: capture under realistic load, read the profile without jumping at the first red bar, and name where the time truly goes — the measurement that must precede any optimisation.

  Best for: Before optimising anything — to find out what is actually slow

• SkillUSD 2

  Caching Strategy

  Designs caching that speeds the system up without serving lies: what to cache where, for how long, how it invalidates — and the authoritative source kept authoritative, so a cache flush never breaks the product.

  Best for: Systems recomputing the same expensive answer all day

• SkillUSD 2

  Accessibility Sweep

  Runs a fast, structured accessibility pass over a page or component: keyboard, labels, contrast, focus, announcements — the checks that catch most real exclusion, sized to fit inside a normal review.

  Best for: Checking a new screen before it ships, in minutes not days

• SkillUSD 2

  Alt Text Writer

  Writes alternative text that does the image's actual job: conveys what the image means in its context, marks the decorative as decorative, and handles the hard cases — charts, screenshots, diagrams — properly.

  Best for: Content teams publishing images daily without an alt-text habit

• SkillUSD 2

  Hardcoded String Sweep

  Finds every user-facing string hiding in your code — the error in the service layer, the label in the component, the email subject in the job — and moves them to your message files without changing behaviour.

  Best for: Preparing a codebase for its first translation

• SkillUSD 2

  Locale Test Matrix

  Designs the test matrix that catches locale bugs before launch: which languages and regions to test against which flows, the known trouble spots per locale class, and the cases that find the date, plural and layout breaks.

  Best for: Launching in new languages without testing all of everything

• SkillUSD 2

  README Refresh

  Rebuilds a project's README into the document newcomers actually need: what this is, how to run it (verified by running it), how to work on it — with the lies removed and the folklore written down.

  Best for: READMEs last updated three jobs ago

• SkillUSD 2

  API Endpoint Docs

  Documents an API the way integrators need it: every endpoint with real request and response examples, every error with its trigger, auth explained once properly — verified against the actual API, not the intended one.

  Best for: APIs documented only by their router file

• SkillUSD 2

  Architecture Sketch

  Draws your system as it actually is: the components, the data flows, the trust boundaries — as maintainable text-based diagrams with a written narrative, at the altitudes different readers need.

  Best for: Systems whose only diagram is two years stale or in someone's head

• SkillUSD 2

  Runbook Writer

  Writes operational runbooks that work at 3am: for each alarm or task, what it means, what to check in order, the exact commands, and when to escalate — tested against the system so the night shift is not debugging the document.

  Best for: Alerts whose response procedure lives in one veteran's memory
