Elicit

Elicit reverse-traces decision coordinates from an ambiguous intent using the user’s codebase, rules, session history, and environment. Use it when a request is underspecified and you need to surface questions, parked coordinates, and a resolved endpoint.

Encapsulation Audit

Encapsulation Audit reviews plugin SKILL.md prose and plugin description metadata for self-contained language. Use it when checking for contributor-knowledge assumptions or banned-reference rephrasings that evade deterministic encapsulation checks.
