Workflow Skills
A curated collection of 10 workflow skills for building with AI coding agents.
Agent Memory Designer
Design a project's CLAUDE.md and memory hierarchy by exploring the repo to learn its real build/test/lint commands, architecture, and non-obvious gotchas, then writing a concise, skimmable memory that keeps only what belongs in context. Use when onboarding a repo to Claude Code with no CLAUDE.md, or when an existing one is bloated, stale, or being ignored.
Claude Settings Auditor
Audit every Claude Code settings layer — user, project, local, and managed — and report the effective merged configuration with its risks: over-broad Bash allows, missing deny rules for secrets, bypassPermissions defaults, unvetted MCP servers and hooks, and rules that never match. Use before trusting a new repo's checked-in settings, or to harden your own before handing the agent more autonomy.
Dev Container Designer
Design a reproducible dev environment (Dev Container / Docker) so onboarding is one command and 'works on my machine' dies — by detecting the project's real stack and versions, authoring a devcontainer.json (+ Dockerfile/compose) that pins the runtime to what the repo targets, wires dependent services, caches dependencies, and injects secrets instead of baking them. Use when new contributors struggle to set up the project, when environment drift causes inconsistent behavior, or when standardizing tooling across a team.
Dockerfile Optimizer
Shrink and harden an existing Dockerfile — multi-stage builds, cache-friendly layer order, a lean pinned base image, a .dockerignore, and a non-root runtime user — without changing what the image runs. Use when an image is too large, builds are slow because the cache never hits, or a scan flags the container running as root.
GitHub Actions Optimizer
Make a GitHub Actions workflow faster, cheaper, and harder to attack — by profiling where wall-clock and billed minutes actually go, then adding content-keyed caching, matrix/job parallelism, run-cancellation, and path filters, and hardening the supply chain (SHA-pinned actions, least-privilege GITHUB_TOKEN, safe fork-PR handling). Use when CI is slow or queues, when a repo burns Actions minutes, or before trusting a workflow that runs on untrusted pull requests.
Hook Writer
Turn a plain-language automation request — 'format every file Claude edits', 'block writes to migrations', 'notify me when input is needed' — into a working Claude Code hook: the right event, a safe tested script, and the settings.json registration at the right scope. Use when you want a hook but don't want to hand-write the matcher, stdin JSON parsing, and exit-code plumbing.
Human In The Loop Gate
Add a human approval checkpoint to an agent so it pauses before a risky or irreversible action (spending money, deleting data, sending messages, merging code) and resumes only after a human approves. Use when an agent acts autonomously on consequential operations.
Plugin Scaffolder
Scaffold a complete, valid Claude Code plugin from a description — the .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest, component directories (skills, agents, commands, hooks, MCP config), portable ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} wiring, a local test loop with --plugin-dir, and a marketplace.json for distribution. Use when turning scattered .claude/ customizations into one installable, versioned package.
Prompt Optimizer
Diagnose why a prompt underperforms and rewrite it with the technique that fixes it — clearer structure, few-shot examples, an explicit output contract, or reasoning scaffolding — returning an optimized prompt, the rationale for every change, and what to measure to confirm the lift. Use when a prompt is flaky, verbose, drifting in format, or just not good enough.
Skill Auditor
Audit an installed set of Claude Code skills for the failure modes that make them misfire — overlapping descriptions that misroute tasks, trigger phrasing that never matches, bloated bodies, missing boundaries, and over-broad tool grants — and return a prioritized fix list with rewritten descriptions. Use when a skill fires on the wrong tasks, never fires at all, or a skills folder has grown past what anyone reviews.
