Runtime syntax: invoke the plugin copy through the active runtime's owner-qualified skill selector; use a bare selector only when intentionally selecting a user-tier copy (a separately installed personal copy; Genie no longer seeds this tier). Cross-skill prose below uses bare names as portable semantic routes; the orchestrator resolves the selector for the active runtime.

genie-hacks with any subcommand (no subcommand → list)references/catalog.md (relative to this skill's directory) before answering any list/search/show/help request — it holds every hack (problem, solution, code, benefit, when-to-use) plus the category table. Never invent a hack that isn't in it.references/contributing.md when running contribute — exact fork/branch/PR commands and error recovery.genie/hacks.mdx in automagik-dev/docs).| Command | Behavior |
|---|---|
genie-hacks / list | Table of all hacks — ID, title, category — then the count and a contribute nudge. |
search <keyword> | Case-insensitive match over title/problem/solution/code; show ID, title, category, problem snippet per match. None → suggest broader terms or list. |
show <hack-id> | Full entry: problem, solution, code, benefit, when to use. Unknown ID → suggest the closest IDs. |
help <problem> | Match the described problem to the top 3 relevant hacks; one-line "why" plus a quick tip each. Prefer a loose match over "no matches". |
contribute | Guided submission → automated PR to automagik-dev/docs. |
End list and show with a pointer to show <id> and contribute.
references/contributing.md: preflight GitHub access, fork/clone or use the GitHub connector, branch hack/<slug>, append under the category heading in genie/hacks.mdx, commit hack: <title>, and open the PR against dev.If gh is missing/unauthenticated or any GitHub step fails, save the formatted hack to ~/.genie/cache/pending-hacks/<hack-id>.md and relay the manual PR steps — never lose the user's write-up.
