Project Skill Builder

Overview

project-skill-builder helps create skills tailored to specific projects, codebases, or organizational contexts by combining universal skill patterns with project-specific knowledge.

Purpose: Build skills customized for specific project needs

Approach: Universal patterns (from skill-builder-generic) + Project-specific knowledge = Custom skills

Project Skill Builder Workflow (5 steps):

Analyze Project Context - Understand codebase, patterns, domain, team needs
Identify Skill Opportunities - Where would skills add most value?
Design Project Patterns - Adapt universal patterns to project specifics
Build Custom Skill - Use development-workflow with project context
Validate and Deploy - Test in project, validate effectiveness

When to Use

Creating skills for specific codebase patterns
Capturing team knowledge in skills
Building domain-specific workflows
Project onboarding automation
Team-specific development patterns

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Project Context

Understand:

Codebase architecture and patterns
Tech stack and conventions
Team workflows and practices
Domain-specific requirements
Common pain points

Output: Project context document

Step 2: Identify Skill Opportunities

Find:

Repetitive tasks (automation opportunities)
Undocumented knowledge (capture in skills)
Team workflows (standardization opportunities)
Onboarding needs (knowledge transfer)

Output: Skill opportunity list (prioritized)

Step 3: Design Project Patterns

Adapt:

Universal patterns → Project-specific implementations
Generic examples → Project-specific examples
Standard workflows → Team workflows

Output: Project-specific skill design

Step 4: Build Custom Skill

Use: development-workflow with project context

Research: Project patterns (not generic)
Planning: Project-specific architecture
Implementation: Project examples and workflows

Output: Project-specific skill

Step 5: Validate and Deploy

Test: In actual project context Validate: Effective for team/project Deploy: To project .claude/skills/

Output: Deployed, validated project skill

Examples

Project-Specific Skill Types:

API integration workflows (project's specific APIs)
Deployment procedures (project's infrastructure)
Code patterns (project's architecture patterns)
Testing frameworks (project's test setup)
Review checklists (team's review standards)

Quick Reference

Workflow

Analyze Project → Identify Opportunities → Design Patterns →
Build with development-workflow → Validate in Project

Integration

Uses: development-workflow, skill-researcher (for project patterns) Produces: Project-specific skills Deploys to: .claude/skills/ in project repository

project-skill-builder enables creation of skills tailored to specific project needs and team contexts.
