Find State Machines
Find implicit state machines: one lifecycle whose state, transitions, and ownership are spread across the code instead of held in one place. Make sure every non-terminal state has a guaranteed way out — failure, cancel, timeout, or recovery after restart — not just the happy-path callback. Make small fixes that preserve behavior or fix bugs right away; confirm larger restructures with the user first.
Tips for Find State Machines
- • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
- • It is part of a pack with 30 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
- • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
