## What Are Claude Code Skills?

## What Are Skills?
|
||||
|
||||
Skills are modular instruction packages (plugins) that give AI coding agents domain expertise they don't have out of the box. Each skill includes a `SKILL.md` (instructions + workflows), Python CLI tools, and reference documentation — everything the agent needs to perform like a specialist.
|
||||
Skills are modular instruction packages that give AI coding agents domain expertise they don't have out of the box. Each skill includes:
|
||||
|
||||
**One repo, eleven platforms:** Works natively with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, Kilo Code, OpenCode, Augment, and Antigravity. All 254 Python tools are stdlib-only and verified working.
|
||||
- **SKILL.md** — structured instructions, workflows, and decision frameworks
|
||||
- **Python tools** — 254 CLI scripts (all stdlib-only, zero pip installs)
|
||||
- **Reference docs** — templates, checklists, and domain-specific knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
**One repo, eleven platforms.** Works natively with Claude Code, and converts to 10 other tools via `scripts/convert.sh`. All 254 Python tools run anywhere Python runs.

### Skills vs Agents vs Personas
|
||||
|
||||
| | Skills | Agents | Personas |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Purpose** | How to execute a task | What task to do | Who is thinking |
|
||||
| **Scope** | Single domain | Single domain | Cross-domain |
|
||||
| **Voice** | Neutral | Professional | Personality-driven |
|
||||
| **Example** | "Follow these steps for SEO" | "Run a security audit" | "Think like a startup CTO" |
|
||||
|
||||
All three work together. See [Orchestration](#orchestration) for how to combine them.

|
||||
## Personas
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-configured agent identities with curated skill loadouts, workflows, and distinct communication styles. Personas go beyond "use these skills" — they define how an agent thinks, prioritizes, and communicates.
|
||||
|
||||
| Persona | Domain | Best For |
|
||||
|---------|--------|----------|
|
||||
| [**Startup CTO**](agents/personas/startup-cto.md) | Engineering + Strategy | Architecture decisions, tech stack selection, team building, technical due diligence |
|
||||
| [**Growth Marketer**](agents/personas/growth-marketer.md) | Marketing + Growth | Content-led growth, launch strategy, channel optimization, bootstrapped marketing |
|
||||
| [**Solo Founder**](agents/personas/solo-founder.md) | Cross-domain | One-person startups, side projects, MVP building, wearing all hats |
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Claude Code
|
||||
cp agents/personas/startup-cto.md ~/.claude/agents/
|
||||
|
||||
# Any tool
|
||||
./scripts/convert.sh --tool cursor # Converts personas too
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See [agents/personas/](agents/personas/) for details. Create your own with [TEMPLATE.md](agents/personas/TEMPLATE.md).
|
||||

|

|
||||
## Orchestration
|
||||
|
||||
A lightweight protocol for coordinating personas, skills, and agents on work that crosses domain boundaries. No framework required.
|
||||
|
||||
**Four patterns:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Pattern | What | When |
|
||||
|---------|------|------|
|
||||
| **Solo Sprint** | Switch personas across project phases | Side projects, MVPs, solo founders |
|
||||
| **Domain Deep-Dive** | One persona + multiple stacked skills | Architecture reviews, compliance audits |
|
||||
| **Multi-Agent Handoff** | Personas review each other's output | High-stakes decisions, launch readiness |
|
||||
| **Skill Chain** | Sequential skills, no persona needed | Content pipelines, repeatable checklists |
|
||||
|
||||
**Example: 6-week product launch**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Week 1-2: startup-cto + aws-solution-architect + senior-frontend → Build
|
||||
Week 3-4: growth-marketer + launch-strategy + copywriting + seo-audit → Prepare
|
||||
Week 5-6: solo-founder + email-sequence + analytics-tracking → Ship and iterate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See [orchestration/ORCHESTRATION.md](orchestration/ORCHESTRATION.md) for the full protocol and examples.
