# Skills
[](LICENSE)
A pipeline-first Claude Code skills pack for structured feature delivery. 23 composable skills that take a feature from idea to shipped — with explicit handoffs, verified research, and a compounding knowledge loop.
Built around structured research, GitHub-native state, and a compounding knowledge loop in `docs/solutions/`. Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any agent that can consume SKILL.md files.
## Installation
Global install (all skills, Claude Code):
```bash
npx skills@latest add chrislacey89/skills --skill '*' --agent claude-code --global -y
```
## Keeping skills updated
The skills CLI tracks content hashes. When this repo updates, your installed copies know about it:
```bash
npx skills@latest check # see what changed upstream
npx skills@latest update # pull latest versions
```
## What this pack optimizes for
- **GitHub-native state** — PRDs, slices, QA bugs, and lineage live in GitHub issues and PRs, not a sprawling local planning filesystem.
- **Explicit handoffs** — skills declare what they expect, what they produce, and what comes next.
- **Verified research before PRD writing** — `/research` is a first-class step, not an optional extra.
- **Compounded knowledge** — shipped lessons feed future work through `docs/solutions/`.
## Canonical pipeline
```
/shape → /research → /write-a-prd → /prd-to-issues → /execute → QA → /pre-merge → merge → /compound → cleanup
```
The pipeline is the default path, not a prison. Skills can backtrack when assumptions fail or branch to helper and side-route skills when the work demands it. For blank-project or major-tranche work that is too large for a single PRD, `/shape` can branch to `/create-milestone`, which creates a GitHub milestone plus feature issues that mature from `roadmap bet` to `research-ready` to `prd` before re-entering the normal pipeline at `/research`. `Ralph` is the AFK execution mode/persona for the `/execute` stage, not a separate pipeline step — it stops on repeated failure *or* repeated non-progress, whichever trips first.
## Skills
### Planning & Design
| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| [shape](shape/) | Structured requirements discovery — shared understanding before research |
| [create-milestone](create-milestone/) | Turn a shaped app-sized or tranche-sized idea into a GitHub milestone with sequenced feature bets |
| [research](research/) | Mandatory pre-PRD research with auto-calibrated depth |
| [write-a-prd](write-a-prd/) | PRD creation via interview, filed as GitHub issue |
| [prd-to-issues](prd-to-issues/) | Break PRD into vertical slices with boundary maps |
| [design-an-interface](design-an-interface/) | Generate multiple radically different interface designs |
| [api-design-review](api-design-review/) | Focused contract review for higher-risk API design decisions |
### Development
| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| [execute](execute/) | Execute a unit of work end-to-end with verification |
| [tdd](tdd/) | Test-driven development with red-green-refactor loop (invoked from `/execute`) |
| [triage-issue](triage-issue/) | Deep bug diagnosis + root cause + TDD fix plan (invoked from `/qa` per issue) |
| [improve-codebase-architecture](improve-codebase-architecture/) | Surface deepening opportunities for shallow modules |
| [request-refactor-plan](request-refactor-plan/) | Plan refactors with tiny commits |
| [ts-audit](ts-audit/) | Audit TypeScript code against Total TypeScript best practices |
### Tooling & Setup
| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| [init-pipeline](init-pipeline/) | Scaffold pipeline enforcement — Claude Code hooks, git guardrails, pre-commit setup (auto-invoked by `/execute`) |
| [setup-pre-commit](setup-pre-commit/) | Lefthook + Biome pre-commit hooks (detects existing tools) |
| [git-guardrails-claude-code](git-guardrails-claude-code/) | Block dangerous git commands |
### Knowledge & QA
| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| [qa](qa/) | Single entry point for bug conversations; files lightweight issues and delegates per-issue to `/triage-issue` for deep diagnosis |
| [pre-merge](pre-merge/) | Create the PR and run an architectural review before merge |
| [compound](compound/) | Capture lessons learned into docs/solutions/ |
| [ubiquitous-language](ubiquitous-language/) | DDD glossary with decisions register |
### Orientation & Recovery
| Skill | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| [help](help/) | Read repo state and recommend the next pipeline step |
| [correct-course](correct-course/) | Diagnose stale artifacts and walk the cleanup before backtracking |
