7 skills, pulled from how I actually run my companies. A skill is a protocol your AI loads and follows, every time. Each card shows what it does, when to use it, and the exact file to copy.
Start with The Handoff and The Lessons List. Those two change everything else.
Ends every session by saving state, so the next one starts warm instead of from zero.
When: At the end of any work session, and any time the AI's context is getting long.
Stress-tests a plan with one question at a time BEFORE any building starts.
When: Before starting anything expensive: a feature, a purchase, a launch, a pivot.
Blocks the word 'done' until there is proof for every part of the ask.
When: At the end of every task an AI did for you, before you trust or ship it.
Replaces guess-and-pray debugging with a fixed order: reproduce, isolate, prove, fix, prove again.
When: The moment anything behaves unexpectedly, before trying fixes.
The pre-launch gate: clean state, real build, live verification. Catches the 'it worked on my machine' family.
When: Right before anything goes live: a site, a post, a product change.
Turns every mistake into a one-line rule the AI reads on every future session. The list only grows.
When: Every time you correct the AI, or it catches its own mistake.
Mines your own work history each day for the 3 to 5 things actually worth remembering or sharing.
When: End of each working day, or every morning over yesterday's work.
A skill is not magic. It works because your AI reads it every time, so the good habit stops depending on your memory. Built for Claude Code, but the pattern works in any AI tool.
Pair these with the agent blueprints and the daily prompts. One vault, three tools.
