What ships today:

• Consensus plugin — create, decide, and plan start from a brief, options, or goal; refine and evaluate converge or judge artifacts with audit trails; panel collects attributed perspectives; phone-a-friend asks one peer for an advisory take, one-shot by default with bounded follow-up rounds on request; delegate hands one task to another provider and verifies the result; observer and observer-collab provide plugin-local session observation.
• Session plugin — align, debrief, sitrep, and reorient clarify intent, recent history, current progress, and the whole thread; next-steps recommends an action, explain-options makes offered choices understandable, and must-we evaluates disputed requirements. messaging, handoff, export-transcript, search, fork-to-destination, seshtk-cli, and retro support coordination, continuity, session evidence, and lessons.
• Session Toolkit — the seshtk terminal command and typed ESM library find, read, search, and export local Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor sessions.
• Optional standalone skills — every Session member is also available individually; its guide gives both names. Observer and Collaborative Observer are available standalone or through Consensus; neither is a Session member. author-skill, complexity-review, babysit-pr, and land-pr remain standalone only. The PR skills repair CI/review findings until green; only land-pr merges. Consensus phone-a-friend and review are also available as the standalone skills phone-a-friend and consensus-review; its seven other peer workflows remain plugin-only.

Plugin and standalone entries share canonical guides rather than duplicate documentation. Pick by the task you want to accomplish, then use the guide's installation names for the form you have installed.
