Analyzes codebases to suggest custom skills and agents for workflow automation.
Progress:
- [ ] Analyze codebase patterns
- [ ] Match to tooling templates
- [ ] Present suggestions
- [ ] Generate approved items
Run lightweight analysis:

Match detected patterns to suggestions:
| Signal | Skill Suggestion | Agent Suggestion | |--------|------------------|------------------| | Jest/Pytest/Mocha | testing-code | - | | REST routes | - | api-testing | | Prisma/migrations | db-migrations | - | | Dockerfile | deploying-code | - | | ESLint/Prettier | linting-code | - | | Auth patterns | - | security-review | | Many .md files | documenting-code | - | | PR workflow | - | code-reviewer |
See patterns/skills.md and patterns/agents.md for complete mappings.
Format suggestions for user review:
## Tooling Suggestions for {project}
Based on analysis of your codebase:
- Language: {detected}
- Framework: {detected}
- Existing tooling: {count} skills, {count} agents
### Recommended Skills
| # | Skill | Why | Priority |
|---|-------|-----|----------|
| 1 | {name} | {rationale} | P1 |
| 2 | {name} | {rationale} | P2 |
### Recommended Agents
| # | Agent | Why | Priority |
|---|-------|-----|----------|
| 1 | {name} | {rationale} | P1 |
Then ask user which to generate.
For each approved item:
Skills - Invoke creating-skills:
Use the creating-skills skill to create a {name} skill.
Purpose: {rationale}
Detected context:
- Framework: {framework}
- Test runner: {runner}
- Patterns: {patterns}
Generate a focused skill for this project.
Agents - Invoke creating-agents:
Use the creating-agents skill to create a {name} agent.
Purpose: {rationale}
Suggested tools: {tools}
Detected context:
- Project type: {type}
- Workflows: {workflows}
Generate a focused agent for this project.
See reference.md for detailed pattern definitions.
Compare detected needs against existing .claude/ configuration:
Detected workflows: Existing tooling:
- Testing (Jest) - (none)
- API (Express) - (none)
- CI (GitHub Actions) - (none)
Gaps: testing, api-testing, deployment
Only suggest tooling that fills gaps.
After generation, report:
## Tooling Created
| Type | Name | Location |
|------|------|----------|
| Skill | testing-code | .claude/skills/testing-code/ |
| Agent | code-reviewer | .claude/agents/code-reviewer.md |
### Restart Required
New skills and agents require a Claude restart to be available.
To continue where you left off:
\`\`\`bash
claude --continue
\`\`\`
### Next Steps
1. Restart Claude to load new tooling
2. Run `claude --continue` to resume
3. Review generated tooling in .claude/
4. Test skills with sample workflows
development
Apple Human Interface Guidelines for content display components. Use this skill when the user asks about charts component, collection view, image view, web view, color well, image well, activity view, lockup, data visualization, content display, displaying images, rendering web content, color pickers, or presenting collections of items in Apple apps. Also use when the user says how should I display charts, what's the best way to show images, should I use a web view, how do I build a grid of items, what component shows media, or how do I present a share sheet. Cross-references: hig-foundations for color/typography/accessibility, hig-patterns for data visualization patterns, hig-components-layout for structural containers, hig-platforms for platform-specific component behavior.
tools
Automate HelpDesk tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): list tickets, manage views, use canned responses, and configure custom fields. Always search tools first for current schemas.

GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server. This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully.
