Skills

All skills are model-invoked: Claude picks them from their description.

SkillBucketWhat it is for
work-planningplanningshaping work in any tracker (Linear, Jira, GitHub, others): specs, work items, phases, projects, updates
project-knowledgeknowledgea decision log and research pages in the team's wiki, Notion, Linear, Obsidian or Confluence
painting-craftcraftdrawing and painting in code to a gallery standard, with a screenshot review loop
jira-ticketarchivedJira tickets and acceptance criteria
draft-ticketarchivedend-to-end Jira ticket drafting
github-issuearchivedGitHub issues holding a Jira ticket's engineering detail
linear-planningarchivedLinear-only predecessor of work-planning (not shipped)
linear-projectarchivedLinear-only predecessor of work-planning (not shipped)
project-wikiarchivedGitHub-wiki-only predecessor of project-knowledge

The archived skills were written for one project and still name its files. Shipped skills stay tool-neutral: tool specifics go in a skill's adapters, and a project's own facts stay in that project.

painting-craft: before and after

The same two prompts, each run once in a fresh session: the original skill on the left, the current painting-craft on the right. Nothing was touched up by hand.

"Paint a 1600x1000 SVG of a knight asleep against an oak tree at dusk, in a Romantic oil-painting look."

Knight at dusk, full picture: before and after

At 2× zoom, where the viewer looks. The knight is a 3D figure lit by the low sun, with separate plates, mail in rows and a visor, instead of a mannequin of tubes:

Knight at dusk, 2x crop: before and after

"Draw a night city street as a 1600x1000 SVG: a car passes behind a row of trees on the near verge. Flat vector style, but it must not look cheap."

Night street, full picture: before and after

At 2× zoom, a crown is clumps hung on a branch skeleton, in three values with broken edges, instead of a pile of round blobs:

Night street, 2x crop of a tree: before and after

What changed: build recipes for the parts that fail up close (references/recipes.md), studies of each hero element against fetched public-domain references before composing (scripts/refs.py, scripts/compare.py), the bundled 3D figure renderer, a paint pass that unifies painted styles (scripts/paintpass.py), and delivery at twice the display size.
