What's New in v2.15.0

/blueprint Skill — Multi-Model Implementation Planning

New skill that creates bite-sized TDD implementation plans using a 7-step multi-model council:

/blueprint add OAuth with refresh tokens

Pipeline: Grok search → Qwen+Kimi analysis → Kimi decompose → GPT pre-mortem critique → Gemini final judgment → bite-sized TDD output (exact files, test-first steps, commit points).

Bridges planner_maker's multi-model intelligence with the writing-plans execution format.

31 Prompt Engineering Techniques (was 22)

Added 9 research-backed techniques for coding and decision-making:

Technique	Source	Category
reflexion	Shinn et al. 2023	Engineering
react (ReAct)	Yao et al. 2022	Engineering
rubber_duck	Hunt & Thomas 2008	Engineering
test_driven	Beck 2003	Engineering
scot (Structured CoT)	Li et al. 2025 (+13.79% HumanEval)	Structured Coding
pre_post (Contracts)	Empirical SE 2025	Structured Coding
bdd_spec (Given/When/Then)	BDD 2025	Structured Coding
least_to_most	Zhou et al. 2022	Research
pre_mortem	Klein 2007	Decision

Techniques are embedded directly in tool system prompts for automatic application.

MiniMax M2.5 Upgrade

• minimax_code — SWE-Bench 80.2%, per-task TECHNIQUE tags (SCoT, reflexion, rubber_duck), per-task temperatures
• minimax_agent — ReAct + least-to-most decomposition protocol, HALT criteria

Enhanced Skills

• /breakdown — now uses least_to_most ordering + pre_mortem failure analysis
• /judge — first judge now runs pre-mortem ("assume this FAILED")
• /decompose — deep-dives include pre/post contracts per sub-problem
• /prompt — auto-recommend flow with 30-intent matching guide, 13 categories

Skills (Claude Code)

TachiBot ships with 9 slash commands for Claude Code. These orchestrate the tools into powerful workflows:

Skill	What it does	Example
/blueprint	Multi-model planning → bite-sized TDD steps	/blueprint add OAuth with refresh tokens
/judge	Multi-model council - parallel analysis with synthesis	/judge how to implement rate limiting
/think	Sequential reasoning chain with any model	/think grok,gemini design a cache layer
/focus	Mode-based reasoning (debate, research, analyze)	/focus architecture-debate Redis vs Pg
/breakdown	Strategic decomposition with pre-mortem	/breakdown refactor payment module
/decompose	Split into sub-problems, deep-dive each one	/decompose implement collaborative editor
/prompt	Recommend the right thinking technique (31 available)	/prompt why do users churn
/algo	Algorithm analysis with 3 specialized models	/algo optimize LRU cache O(1)
/tachi	Help - see available skills, tools, key status	/tachi

Skills automatically adapt to your configured API keys. Even with just 1-2 providers, all skills work.

Getting started? Type /tachi to see what's available.

Example Usage

Multi-Model Planning

// Create a plan with multi-model council
planner_maker({ task: "Build a REST API with auth and tests", mode: "start" })
// → Grok searches → Qwen analyzes → Kimi decomposes → GPT critiques → Gemini synthesizes

// Execute with checkpoints
planner_runner({ plan: planContent, mode: "step", stepNum: 1 })
// → Automatic verification at 50%, 80% (kimi_decompose), and 100%

Task Decomposition

kimi_decompose({
  task: "Migrate monolith to microservices",
  depth: 3,
  outputFormat: "dependencies"
})
// → Structured subtasks with IDs, parallel flags, acceptance criteria

Code Review

kimi_code({
  task: "review",
  code: "function processPayment(amount, card) { ... }",
  language: "typescript"
})
// → SWE-Bench 76.8% quality analysis

Deep Reasoning

focus({
  query: "Design a scalable event-driven architecture",
  mode: "deep-reasoning",
  models: ["grok", "gemini", "kimi"],
  rounds: 5
})
