Coding Posture - Setup Guide¶
Source: alexei-led/coding-posture · 9★ Category: Agent Infrastructure / Development Workflows License: MIT · Language: Shell · Published: June 24, 2026
A single SKILL.md that switches coding agents between task-aware working modes. Instead of the agent guessing whether you want a quick fix or a full migration, coding-posture gives it explicit posture instructions. One file, zero dependencies, 9 stars of community validation.
What It Does¶
| Mode | What It Optimizes For | When To Use |
|---|---|---|
| debug | Root cause analysis, log diving | Bug reports, error traces |
| fix | Minimal change, no side effects | Quick patches, hotfixes |
| review | Standards enforcement, anti-pattern detection | PR reviews, code audits |
| migrate | Safe refactoring, backward compatibility | Framework upgrades, API changes |
| explain | Clarity, diagrams, mental models | Onboarding, documentation |
| test | Coverage, edge cases, regression prevention | TDD, test suite gaps |
The agent reads the mode from the skill and adjusts its reasoning depth, tool selection, and output format accordingly.
Installation¶

Usage with Hermes Agent¶
After installation, invoke by mentioning the mode:
"Review this PR in review posture"
"Debug the connection timeout in debug posture"
"Migrate this Express app to Fastify in migrate posture"
Or explicitly:
"Switch to fix posture and patch the null pointer"
CorpusIQ Use Cases¶
| Use Case | How |
|---|---|
| Code review automation | Switch to review posture for PR analysis |
| On-call debugging | debug posture for error trace triage |
| Dependency upgrades | migrate posture for safe refactoring |
| Test coverage gaps | test posture for TDD workflows |

Integration with CorpusIQ¶
CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.
This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
