+- [`jj-desc`](skills/jj-desc/SKILL.md) — Provides a user-invoked alias that starts a `jj-describe` session.
 - [`review-with-me`](skills/review-with-me/SKILL.md) — Curates load-bearing code into focused slices for collaborative human review.
 - [`teaching`](skills/teaching/SKILL.md) — Intertwines teaching and co-design to build a shared technical model before implementing a maintainable change.
