Skills
Claude Code skills package Clustersco know-how into instructions Claude follows for a specific
task. They ship as the clustersco-standards plugin, so the team installs them once.
/plugin install clustersco-standards@clustersco
What's in it
Focused, independently-triggering skills — each activates for the task at hand.
| Skill | Triggers for |
|---|---|
project-architecture | CORE/MODULES/APPS layering, repos, version.yml, submodules, assembly, deploy |
git-strategy | single-trunk develop, branching, releases, tags, hotfix, support, promotion |
governance | Jira / Confluence / Compass — projects, boards, workflows, gates, releases, JSM |
design-system | the house style — color tokens, light/dark theming, components |
ui-ux | interaction, navigation, motion, and WCAG-AA accessibility |
new-app | scaffold a new app/product |
new-module | scaffold a reusable module |
cut-release | drive a release: develop → tag → promote |
onboard-client | add a client via Client/Account — never a fork |
Installed, they appear namespaced as clustersco-standards:git-strategy, and so on. The content of
these skills mirrors this documentation site — the Engineering Standards,
Design, and Playbooks.
Anatomy
One skill = a folder with a SKILL.md (a name + description front matter, then lean instructions),
with deep detail in reference/ files loaded on demand. Keep the description sharp — it's the
trigger that makes Claude pick the right skill.
