# Clide Claude-Code skills Skills are reusable instruction packs Claude Code loads on demand. Each one lives in its own directory with a `SKILL.md` (frontmatter + body) and any helper scripts. This index is for humans skimming what's available; Claude discovers skills automatically from the directory structure. Only clide-specific skills live in this repo. Repo-agnostic skills (`d2-diagram`, `frame0-wireframe`, `skill-create`) live at user scope (`~/.claude/skills/`), as do the pql-distributed ones (`pql`, `clean-house`, installed via `pql init`). | Skill | Purpose | |---|---| | [`clide`](clide/SKILL.md) | Observe/drive the live clide UI through the `clide` CLI; discover the surface with `clide capabilities`. | | [`git-commit`](git-commit/SKILL.md) | Commit conventions for this repo — message style, CHANGELOG discipline (60-word cap), attribution trailer, safety rules. | | [`testmode`](testmode/SKILL.md) | Run and interpret the `ClideTestApp` platform integration harness; smoke-test after toolchain / IPC / PTY / theme / native changes. | | [`ui-design`](ui-design/SKILL.md) | Visual design guide — surface tokens, control geometry, Phosphor icons (`byName` + generated glyph table). | | [`whats-next`](whats-next/SKILL.md) | Dependency-driven batch selection against the pql backlog. Walks the initiative/epic tree, filters unblocked work, refines, optionally activates. | ## Adding a skill Use the `skill-create` skill (user scope; or follow its SKILL.md by hand). Clide-specific skills go here; repo-agnostic ones go to `~/.claude/skills/`. Add a row to the table above so the inventory stays accurate; the index is otherwise just a directory listing.
