Using CodeAssist Skills

Core Principle

Before starting a task, check if any skills apply. Skills are documented best practices that help you work more effectively.

First Response Protocol

For each request:

  1. Check: Review available skills in .claude/skills/
  2. Read: If a skill applies, read the skill file
  3. Announce: State which skill you're using
    • Example: "I'm using the code-review skill to review these changes"
  4. Follow: Execute the skill's protocol

Why Use Skills

Skills represent tested approaches that:

  • Provide consistent patterns across projects
  • Include important safety checks
  • Prevent common mistakes
  • Save time by avoiding rework

Skill Categories

  • brainstorming - Discuss approach before implementation
  • writing-plans - Break work into tasks
  • executing-plans - Execute with verification
  • code-review - Review before completing

Safety

  • database-backup - Backup before database operations
  • verification-before-completion - Final checks before declaring done

Testing

  • test-driven-development - Write tests first
  • condition-based-waiting - Avoid flaky tests
