/cf-help

Answer questions about Coding Friend — skills, agents, workflows, setup.

The /cf-help skill answers questions about the Coding Friend toolkit. It provides a brief overview when asked generally, and reads specific skill files on-demand when you ask about a particular skill, agent, or workflow.

Usage

/cf-help
/cf-help how does cf-tdd work?
/cf-help what agents are available?

What It Does

  1. General questions — Provides an overview of Coding Friend: core philosophy, available skills, agents, and conventions
  2. Specific skill questions — Reads the relevant SKILL.md file and explains how the skill works
  3. Agent questions — Reads the agent definition and explains its capabilities
  4. Setup/config questions — Explains configuration options, custom guides, and ignore patterns

How It Works

Unlike other skills that follow a fixed workflow, /cf-help is adaptive:

  • For general "what is Coding Friend?" questions, it provides a built-in overview
  • For specific questions like "how does /cf-commit work?", it reads plugin/skills/cf-commit/SKILL.md and summarizes
  • For agent questions, it reads plugin/agents/<name>.md

This keeps the skill lightweight — it doesn't duplicate content from every skill, but reads on-demand.

Tips

  • Type /cf-help with no arguments for a full overview of available commands
  • Ask about a specific skill to get detailed workflow steps
  • Ask about configuration to learn about .coding-friend/config.json options
