Core skills library for Claude Code: TDD, debugging, collaboration patterns, and proven techniques

14 Skills 0 MCPs
Purpose

To provide coding agents with a robust framework and proven techniques for software development, ensuring high-quality, systematic, and reproducible results.

Features

  • Enforces Test-Driven Development (TDD) cycle
  • Guides systematic debugging with root cause analysis
  • Facilitates structured brainstorming and design
  • Manages implementation planning and execution
  • Supports code review and version control workflows

Use Cases

  • Use when starting any new feature or bug fix to ensure a rigorous development process.
  • Use when encountering unexpected behavior or test failures to systematically find the root cause.
  • Use when needing to decompose a complex requirement into manageable, executable tasks.
  • Use when needing to ensure code quality and adherence to design through structured reviews.

Non-Goals

  • Replacing the core functionality of the coding agent
  • Providing domain-specific libraries outside of development methodology
  • Automating complex architectural decisions without human oversight

Practices

  • Test-Driven Development
  • Systematic Debugging
  • Agile Workflows
  • Code Review Processes
  • Design Before Implementation

Trust

  • warning:Issues AttentionWhile there are many open issues (123 opened vs 264 closed in 90d), the closure rate is approximately 68%, which is good, but the sheer volume of open issues suggests potential maintainer bandwidth limitations.

Skill (14)

Brainstorming Skill

You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.

85
Dispatching Parallel Agents Skill

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

95
Executing Plans Skill

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints

97
Finishing A Development Branch Skill

Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup

99
Receiving Code Review Skill

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation

97
Requesting Code Review Skill

Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements

98
Subagent Driven Development Skill

Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session

96
Systematic Debugging Skill

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes

95
Test Driven Development Skill

Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code

99
Using Git Worktrees Skill

Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback

100
Using Superpowers Skill

Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions

99
Verification Before Completion Skill

Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always

99
Writing Plans Skill

Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code

99
Writing Skills Skill

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
