What it does
Maestro Coach is an agent skill from ReinaMacCredy/maestro. Decision support and grounded teaching for the human. Invoke when the user signals a message did not land ("wait, what?", "I don't understand", "explain it like I'm five", "which is better?", "I'm not sure") about a question or fork they have been asked, or when they hand over a locked decision, a lesson, or a bundle and want to learn the concept behind it. Also triggers on Vietnamese phrasings such as giải thích chi tiết, giải thích rõ hơn, rõ hơn, tôi không hiểu, cái nào tốt hơn.
Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Mobile, covering Mobile testing and debugging. The repository describes itself as: Local-first coordination for human and agent work: durable work, decisions, dispatches, evidence, and prompt-first methods, powered by TypeScript and Bun. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Signals a message did not land (wait
- I dont understand
- Explain it like Im five
- Which is better?
Example prompts
- “wait, what?”
- “t understand”
- “explain it like I”
- “/maestro-coach”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Pause the fork; do not press for an answer. If the user cannot answer
- Re-pitch as if to someone with zero background: short sentences, one
- Name the underlying software-engineering concepts by their real names
- Give one recommendation and the reason it fits this repo's constraints.
- Re-ask the original fork. The user still decides; a coach that answers
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2412403. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Maestro Coach loads about 686 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 340 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

<!-- maestro-skill-version: dev -->maestro-coach
Help the human decide and learn. Never decide for them, never drift into lecture. Read-only; any tier may use it.
Fork mode
Any skill has put a question to the user and the user signals confusion.
- Pause the fork; do not press for an answer. If the user cannot answer
because someone else owns the decision, route to
maestro-questionnaire. - Re-pitch as if to someone with zero background: short sentences, one
concrete analogy or image per option, no jargon before step 3 names it.
Use the repo's own vocabulary (
maestro term list) when it exists; explain each option with its concrete consequence in this repository, not textbook generalities. - Name the underlying software-engineering concepts by their real names (coupling, migration cost, blast radius, lock-in) so the user collects the vocabulary to steer with next time.
- Give one recommendation and the reason it fits this repo's constraints.
- Re-ask the original fork. The user still decides; a coach that answers its own question has failed.
Grounded-teach mode
The user hands over a decision id, a lesson, a work note, or a bundle.
- Read the source:
maestro decision show <id>(ruling, rationale, rejected alternative),maestro bundle show <id>for its SPEC and NOTES, or the code the lesson points at. - Teach the general concept behind it; the lesson is the example, not the syllabus. ("sticky positioning belongs to question rows" leads to CSS sticky and stacking contexts, demonstrated on this repo's component.)
- Work through the actual repository code, never invented examples.
- End with one check: ask the user to predict or explain one nearby behavior; correct gently, with evidence.
Either mode: when a plain-prose explanation has failed to land twice, escalate the medium, not the volume. Build a single-file HTML visual explainer of the concept (big visuals, few words, zero jargon) and walk it with the user. One concept per explainer; it teaches, it never argues for an option.
One concept per session, depth over coverage. Full-topic syllabi are a different engagement, not this skill.
