Brainstorm First
Clarifies what you actually want before taking any action. Restates your request, asks 2-3 targeted questions, and waits for answers before proceeding.
Triggers on: any new task or feature requestPlan Before Building
Writes a short implementation plan and gets your approval before touching any code or files. Lists every file it will create or modify. No surprises.
Triggers on: multi-step requests, new features, refactorsVerify Before Done
Runs tests, checks files exist, and verifies output before claiming a task is complete. Reports what it checked and the results. No more "Done!" with broken code.
Triggers on: every task completionPush Back
Challenges assumptions and researches before recommending tools, libraries, or approaches. States trade-offs instead of just agreeing. Admits uncertainty instead of guessing.
Triggers on: opinions, recommendations, technical choicesSession Journal
Saves what was accomplished, what's pending, and what it learned at the end of each session. Reads the journal at the start of the next session so you pick up where you left off.
Triggers on: session start and endInstall in

Common
questions.
Skills are markdown files that give Claude Code specific behavioral instructions. When you place them in your project's .claude/skills/ directory, Claude Code automatically loads them and follows the instructions. No configuration needed. No plugins required.
No. You just need Claude Code installed. The skills are plain text files that you drop into a folder. If you can drag and drop a file, you can install the Skills Pack.

Yes. Skills are just markdown files. Open any SKILL.md file in a text editor, change whatever you want, and save. Claude Code picks up your changes the next time you start a session.
