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.

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 |
