Claude Skills

Design and implement Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) with self-service capabilities, golden paths, and developer experience optimization. Covers platform strategy, IDP architecture (Backstage, Port), infrastructure orchestration (Crossplane), GitOps (Argo CD), and adoption patterns. Use when building developer platforms, improving DevEx, or establishing platform teams.

Operating production Kubernetes clusters effectively with resource management, advanced scheduling, networking, storage, security hardening, and autoscaling. Use when deploying workloads to Kubernetes, configuring cluster resources, implementing security policies, or troubleshooting operational issues.

When distributing traffic across multiple servers or regions, use this skill to select and configure the appropriate load balancing solution (L4/L7, cloud-managed, self-managed, or Kubernetes ingress) with proper health checks and session management.

Data ingestion patterns for loading data from cloud storage, APIs, files, and streaming sources into databases. Use when importing CSV/JSON/Parquet files, pulling from S3/GCS buckets, consuming API feeds, or building ETL pipelines.

Real-time communication patterns for live updates, collaboration, and presence. Use when building chat applications, collaborative tools, live dashboards, or streaming interfaces (LLM responses, metrics). Covers SSE (server-sent events for one-way streams), WebSocket (bidirectional communication), WebRTC (peer-to-peer video/audio), CRDTs (Yjs, Automerge for conflict-free collaboration), presence patterns, offline sync, and scaling strategies. Supports Python, Rust, Go, and TypeScript.

Generate comprehensive technical documentation including API docs (OpenAPI/Swagger), code documentation (TypeDoc/Sphinx), documentation sites (Docusaurus/MkDocs), Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and diagrams (Mermaid/PlantUML). Use when documenting APIs, libraries, systems architecture, or building developer-facing documentation sites.

Evaluate LLM systems using automated metrics, LLM-as-judge, and benchmarks. Use when testing prompt quality, validating RAG pipelines, measuring safety (hallucinations, bias), or comparing models for production deployment.

Optimizing vector embeddings for RAG systems through model selection, chunking strategies, caching, and performance tuning. Use when building semantic search, RAG pipelines, or document retrieval systems that require cost-effective, high-quality embeddings.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a feature", "create a spec", "start spec-driven development", "run research phase", "generate requirements", "create design", "plan tasks", "implement spec", "check spec status", or needs guidance on the spec-driven development workflow.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "verify a fix", "reproduce failure", "diagnose issue", "check BEFORE/AFTER state", "VF task", "reality check", or needs guidance on verifying fixes by reproducing failures before and after implementation.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "coordinator role", "delegate to subagent", "use Task tool", "never implement yourself", "subagent delegation", or needs guidance on proper delegation patterns for Ralph workflows.

Standard single-question adaptive interview loop used across all spec phases

Core principle that the main agent is a coordinator, not an implementer. All work must be delegated to subagents.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "ralph arguments", "quick mode", "commit spec", "max iterations", "ralph state file", "execution modes", "ralph loop integration", or needs guidance on common Ralph plugin arguments and state management patterns.

This skill should be used when the user asks about "output formatting", "concise responses", "Matt Pocock planning style", "scannable output", "action steps format", or needs guidance on communication and output formatting rules for Ralph agents.

Comprehensive understanding of the spec-kit methodology. Constitution-driven feature development with specify, plan, tasks, and implement phases.

Core Smart Ralph skill defining common arguments, execution modes, and shared behaviors across all Ralph plugins.

Output rules for all agents - concise, scannable, actionable. Based on Matt Pocock's planning principles.
