Production-grade Claude Code skills for builders who ship.

Workflow discipline meets product thinking — a curated, opinionated skill pack that bridges PM rigor with AI engineering.

The Problem

The Claude Code skill ecosystem has 15,000+ repos. Most are either sprawling catalogs (300+ skills, pick your own adventure) or rigid methodologies (do it my way or not at all).

Neither helps you ship better products faster.

What This Is

Skillcraft is 14 skills in 4 tiers that work as a cohesive system. Each skill enforces a specific discipline. Together, they form a workflow that moves from planning through execution to delivery — the same loop a good PM/eng hybrid runs daily, automated through Claude Code.

This is not a framework. There's no lock-in. Install one skill or all fourteen. They compose, they don't depend.

Skills

Tier 1 — Workflow Discipline

Plan before you build. Verify before you ship.

Skill	What it enforces
plan-first	Requires a written plan before any code generation. Kills the "just start coding" impulse.
ship-cycle	Full development workflow: branch, implement, test, review, merge. No skipping steps.
verify-build	Post-implementation verification checklist. Catches what tests miss.
clean-commit	Enforces atomic commits, conventional messages, and PR discipline.
task-resume	Session continuity — picks up exactly where you left off across Claude Code sessions.

Tier 2 — Quality Gates

Catch problems before they become incidents.

Skill	What it enforces
output-guard	Validates generated code against correctness, security, and style rules before accepting it.
simplify-code	Reviews code for unnecessary complexity. Flags over-engineering, premature abstractions, dead code.
debug-circuit	Circuit breaker for debug loops. Forces a step back after 3 failed attempts instead of brute-forcing.
craft-principles	Enforces core engineering principles: readability, simplicity, testability, minimal dependencies.

Tier 3 — PM Bridge

This is the differentiator. Product thinking as executable skills.

Skill	What it enforces
pm-docs	Generates PRDs, one-pagers, decision logs, and launch checklists from conversation context.
sprint-flow	Agile execution discipline: story breakdown, acceptance criteria, sprint planning, retro prompts.
meeting-driver	Structures meetings with agendas, time-boxes, action items, and follow-up tracking.

Tier 4 — Efficiency

Spend context like money. Keep memory lean.

Skill	What it enforces
context-budget	Token discipline — scoped searches, targeted reads, summarized output, and subagent delegation for heavy research.
memory-curator	Disciplined memory curation — what to save, how to dedupe, and when to prune stale entries.

Quick Start

Install all skills:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ProjectWaja/claude-skillcraft/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Install a single skill:

# Copy any skill folder into your Claude Code skills directory
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/plan-first ~/.claude/skills/

Verify installation:

/skills

Before & After

Without Skillcraft

You: "Build me a user dashboard"
Claude: *immediately generates 400 lines of code*
You: *spends 2 hours debugging, realizes it doesn't match requirements*

With Skillcraft

You: "Build me a user dashboard"
Claude (plan-first): "Before I write code, let me draft a plan:
  1. Requirements: What data should the dashboard show?
  2. Components: Auth check, data fetching, layout, charts
  3. Acceptance criteria: What does 'done' look like?
  Let's align before I write a line."

You: *approves plan, gets working code on first pass*

Who This Is For

• AI engineers who want workflow discipline, not just code generation
• PM-turned-engineers who think in systems, not just syntax
• Solo founders who need to be both the PM and the engineer
• Teams adopting Claude Code who want guardrails without bureaucracy

Design Principles

1. Composable, not coupled. Each skill works alone. No hidden dependencies.
2. Opinionated, not rigid. Strong defaults, easy overrides.
3. Product-grade, not demo-grade. Every skill tested in real shipping workflows.
4. Open standard. All skills use the SKILL.md format — works on Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and 30+ other tools.

Compatibility

Built on the Agent Skills open standard. Tested on:

• Claude Code (primary)
• Codex CLI
• Gemini CLI

Roadmap

See ROADMAP.md for the versioned, prioritized roadmap.

Next up:

• Cross-domain skill showcase (construction estimation, supply chain)
• Eval/test harness for skill quality scoring
• npx claude-skillcraft install CLI

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md. PRs welcome — especially for:

• New skills that fit the PM-eng bridge thesis
• Cross-platform compatibility testing
• Security audits of existing skills
