Catalyst AppSail — persistent backend PaaS with managed runtimes (Node.js, Java, Python) and custom Docker containers. Trigger on 'AppSail', 'persistent server', 'Docker on Catalyst', 'X_ZOHO_CATALYST_LISTEN_PORT', or 'long-running process on Catalyst'. Do NOT use for stateless request/response handlers, event-driven functions, or scheduled jobs — use catalyst-functions instead.

Core Catalyst project setup — directory structure, environments, CLI commands, and all Catalyst IDs (Project ID, ZAID, Table ID, Segment ID, Org ID). Trigger on 'start a Catalyst project', 'what is .catalystrc', 'where do I find my Table ID', 'difference between Development and Production', or any Catalyst ID or CLI question.

Expert coding assistant for Catalyst by Zoho — Zoho's full-stack serverless cloud platform. Use for any question about Catalyst services, CLI, SDKs, architecture, pricing, or Zoho MCP tool-based infrastructure management.

Catalyst Cache — in-memory key-value store with TTL for ephemeral session and temporary data. Trigger on 'Cache', 'cache segment', 'cache key', 'TTL', 'segment.put', 'segment.get', or 'temporary data Catalyst'.

Catalyst Data Store — relational cloud database with ZCQL, CRUD operations, table permissions, and result pagination. Requires MCP connection — check for the ZohoMCP_* meta-tools before any operation. Trigger on 'Data Store', 'ZCQL', 'create table', 'executeZCQLQuery', 'table permissions', 'ROWID', 'boolean column', 'boolean always true', 'truthy string', 'boolean stored as string', or 'DataStore data types'. You MUST load this skill whenever writing code that reads or writes Data Store data — ZCQL result wrapping, boolean-as-string behavior, and App User permissions are non-obvious and cause silent bugs if skipped.

Catalyst serverless functions — all 7 types (Basic I/O, Advanced I/O, Event, Cron, Job, Integration, Browser Logic), handler signatures, catalyst-config.json, Security Rules, API Gateway routing, file uploads, busboy, Express middleware, environment variables, function URL, and function testing. Requires MCP connection — check for the ZohoMCP_* meta-tools before any operation. Trigger on 'write a function', 'catalyst function', 'API Gateway', 'Security Rules', 'function not found', 'function returns 401', 'busboy', 'middleware', 'function URL', 'environment variable in function', 'duplicate CORS headers', 'CORS error in browser', 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin multiple values', 'function URL 404', 'execute suffix', 'function timeout', 'function hangs', or any function type question. Do NOT use for persistent servers, long-running processes, or Docker deployments — use catalyst-appsail instead.

Catalyst NoSQL — key-value table store with typed items built via NoSQLItem builder. Partition key required. Trigger on 'NoSQL', 'nosql.table', 'insertItems', 'fetchItem', 'updateItems', 'deleteItems', 'queryTable', 'NoSQLItem', 'document storage', 'flexible schema', or 'Catalyst document database'. Do NOT use when you need SQL joins, ZCQL queries, or a fixed relational schema — use catalyst-datastore instead.

Catalyst pricing — free tier limits, pay-as-you-go rates, GB-seconds calculation, and cost estimation for functions, storage, and other services. Trigger on 'pricing', 'cost', 'free tier', 'how much does Catalyst cost', 'GB-seconds', 'billing', or 'will this be free'.

Rigor Run skill for README-first deep learning repo reproduction. Use when the task is specifically to capture or normalize evidence from the selected smoke test or documented inference or evaluation command and write standardized `repro_outputs/` files, including patch notes when repository files changed. Do not use for training execution, initial repo intake, generic environment setup, paper lookup, target selection, hidden scientific-meaning changes, or end-to-end orchestration by itself.

When the user wants to audit, review, or diagnose SEO issues on their site. Also use when the user mentions "SEO audit," "technical SEO," "why am I not ranking," "SEO issues," "on-page SEO," "meta tags review," "SEO health check," "my traffic dropped," "lost rankings," "not showing up in Google," "site isn't ranking," "Google update hit me," "page speed," "core web vitals," "crawl errors," "indexing issues," "stuck on page 2," "striking distance keywords," "title tag rewrite," "low CTR," "local SEO," "Google Business Profile," or "map pack." Use this even if the user just says something vague like "my SEO is bad" or "help with SEO" — start with an audit. For building pages at scale to target keywords, see programmatic-seo. For adding structured data, see schema. For AI search optimization, see ai-seo.

Audits Firebase (Firestore, Cloud Storage) security rules for vulnerabilities, privilege escalation, role bypasses, create vs update inconsistencies, resource exhaustion, type safety, size limits, and hasOnly ownership checks. Use when auditing/reviewing rules, running red-team rule assessments, or scoring against auditor checklists. Don't use for Firebase CLI (login, deploy), Auth, Crashlytics, Remote Config, or database queries.

Audit, diagnose, or optimize website loading and interaction performance, Core Web Vitals, and Lighthouse performance scores.

Audit a landing page, sales page or checkout page for conversion leaks and return a fix list ordered by expected revenue impact. Use when asked to review, critique or improve a landing page, sales page, opt-in page, product page or checkout flow, when conversion rate is low, when paid traffic is not converting, or when someone asks "why isn't this page converting" or wants a CRO / landing page review.

Audit a browser fingerprint for internal contradictions with the liarjs CLI - canvas, WebGL, WebGL2, WebGPU, audio, 220 fonts, WebRTC and timezone probes, scored against the TLS/HTTP/ASN view of the same request. Use when asked to run a browser fingerprint test, see what a fingerprint looks like, check canvas or WebGL fingerprint stability, compare a spoofed profile against a real browser, or find out whether a browser profile is self-consistent.

Security guidance and vulnerability review for codebases, APIs, services, CLI tools, libraries, and daemons. Use for security questions, focused reviews, vulnerability research, security audits, or pen tests. Run the complete workflow only for explicit codebase audit or pen-test requests, full/comprehensive/end-to-end reviews, or requested report artifacts.

When the user wants help with pricing decisions, packaging, or monetization strategy. Also use when the user mentions 'pricing,' 'pricing tiers,' 'freemium,' 'free trial,' 'packaging,' 'price increase,' 'value metric,' 'Van Westendorp,' 'willingness to pay,' 'monetization,' 'how much should I charge,' 'my pricing is wrong,' 'pricing page,' 'annual vs monthly,' 'per seat pricing,' 'should I offer a free plan,' 'pricing page teardown,' 'pricing page audit,' 'is my pricing page AI-readable,' or 'can AI read my pricing.' Use this whenever someone is figuring out what to charge, how to structure their plans, or wants to audit a pricing page (for humans and for the AI agents that shortlist tools).
