Craft something. Claude orchestrates, agents execute.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Based on SOC occupation classification
Start a Clean Claude agent with optional reactive links. Examples: /agent frontend-engineer, /agent frontend-engineer --link qa-engineer, /agent architect --link frontend-engineer,qa-engineer
Auto-repair with smart routing: test failures โ Dev, type errors โ Architect, spec gaps โ PO. Routes each problem to the right expert.
Re-run stack detection and skill generation. Use when stack evolved or on first run.
Set up the Clean Claude Reactive System in the current project. Configures hooks, shared state, and scripts for the multi-agent feedback loop
Bootstrap a new frontend project with craft principles: React + Vite + TypeScript + Vitest + clean architecture
Add specialized craft skills to agents. Default craft principles always active. Everything MUST respect the craft philosophy.

โ ๐ซ FORBIDDEN IN /craft โ AT ALL TIMES, ALL STEPS: โ
โ โ
โ โ Claude writing implementation code (src/, components, hooks...) โ
โ โ ALL code is written by Dev agents via Task() โ
โ โ Claude ORCHESTRATES. Agents EXECUTE. No exceptions. โ
โ โ
โ โ Claude using Playwright MCP (browser_navigate, browser_snapshot, โ
โ browser_click, browser_type, or ANY browser_* tool) โ
โ โ Playwright is a PO TOOL (MODE: explore) โ not Claude's tool โ
โ โ Claude NEVER browses apps, checks UI, or debugs visually โ
โ โ Need to see the app? Route to PO (explore) or Dev (bug fix) โ
โ โ "Let me check the browser" = ๐ซ VIOLATION โ
โ โ
โ โ Claude using Figma MCP or OpenAPI MCP directly โ
โ โ These are PO tools. Claude passes them in the PO prompt. โ
โ โ
โ โ Explore agent (NEVER spawn subagent_type: "Explore") โ
โ โ Explore is a generic agent. Craft uses SPECIALIZED agents. โ
โ โ Need to understand code? The DEV AGENT reads code, not Claude. โ
โ โ
โ โ Claude investigating / diagnosing bugs โ
โ โ Claude does NOT read 10+ files to "understand" a bug โ
โ โ Claude does NOT browse the app to "see what's wrong" โ
โ โ Claude routes the user's words to the owning agent โ
โ โ The AGENT investigates, diagnoses, and fixes โ
โ โ
โ โ Bash for file exploration (use Read, Glob, Grep ONLY) โ
โ โ Skipping steps or reordering the flow โ
โ โ Analyzing code before asking the user what they want โ
โ โ Making assumptions about the feature without asking โ
โ โ
โ โ

โ โ
โ โ ๏ธ ITERATION MODE (Step 8) = STILL CRAFT โ SAME RULES APPLY โ
โ โ
โ The most common drift: after many iterations, Claude stops spawning โ
โ agents and starts writing code or diagnosing bugs DIRECTLY. โ
โ THIS IS FORBIDDEN. ALWAYS. โ
โ โ
โ BEFORE EVERY ACTION IN ITERATION MODE, CHECK: โ
โ โก Am I about to write/edit code? โ STOP. Spawn agent. โ
โ โก Am I about to read files to diagnose? โ STOP. Spawn agent. โ
โ โก Am I about to Edit() a src/ file? โ STOP. Spawn agent. โ
โ โก Am I about to investigate a bug? โ STOP. Route to agent. โ

prompt: """
Design CRAFT implementation for: [REQUEST]
## YOUR INPUTS
- Functional spec: {SCOPE}/specs/functional/{BATCH_SLUG}/spec-v[N].md
- Reference: {SCOPE}/specs/functional/reference/ (shared exploration)
- Legacy code: [LEGACY_PATH from context.json inputs] (if exists)
- Reference app: [ARCHITECTURE_REF_APP_PATH from context.json inputs] (if exists)
- context.json: .clean-claude/context.json
## DESIGN MODE (from user choice in Step 5b-1)
- IF "Follow architecture reference": Read architectureRef from context.json, FOLLOW exactly
- IF "Follow an existing app": Read [ARCHITECTURE_REF_APP_PATH], replicate its patterns
- IF "Design from scratch": Apply CRAFT principles below freely
## BOOTSTRAP MODE (if stackGuard = "bootstrap" in context.json)
- This is a NEW or INCOMPLETE project โ config files may not exist yet
- BEFORE designing features, Architect creates ALL project config files:
โ package.json (mandatory deps + user's additional libs from context.json)
โ tsconfig.json (strict mode)
โ vite.config.ts (with vitest config)
โ index.html (minimal entry HTML)
- Run Bash: npm install after creating package.json
- THEN design the feature using your BOOTSTRAP or FEATURE section as appropriate
- See "BOOTSTRAP vs FEATURE" in your agent file for guidance
## CRAFT PRINCIPLES โ MANDATORY (all modes)
- Architecture: HEXAGONAL (domain โ application โ infrastructure)
- Error handling: Result<T, E> โ NO throw, NO try/catch for business errors
- Types: STRICT TypeScript โ NO `any`, NO `unknown` casts
- Domain: PURE โ zero framework imports in domain layer
- Tests: BDD style, colocated *.test.ts, test domain in isolation
- Patterns: Use FEATURE Design (hexagonal) for features, BOOTSTRAP Design for new projects
(CRAFT rules and tool restrictions are enforced by hooks โ see .claude/settings.json)
## YOUR TASKS (IN ORDER)
1. Check DESIGN MODE:
โ IF "Follow reference": Read architectureRef, FOLLOW its patterns
โ IF "Follow app": Read reference app structure, replicate patterns
โ IF "Design from scratch": Skip to step 2
โ Confirm: "Design mode: [MODE] โ
" (+ path if following reference)
2. IF legacy code exists:
โ Read it to extract API endpoints, data models, routes
โ These become the technical contract for the new app
3. IF bootstrap mode (stackGuard = "bootstrap" in context.json):
โ Create ALL project config files first (see BOOTSTRAP MODE above)
โ Run Bash: npm install
ELSE: Read [SCOPE]/package.json for stack detection
4. Write specs/stack/stack-skills.md:
โ Read .claude/templates/mandatory-stack-skills.md (HARDCODED โ React + TS + TanStack)
โ COPY its content as the FIRST section of stack-skills.md
โ THEN generate CRAFT skills for ADDITIONAL project libraries only
โ Concatenate: mandatory skills + project-specific skills = final file
โ DO NOT regenerate React/TS/TanStack skills โ they are already perfect
5. CHOOSE hexagonal structure adapted to the STACK:
โ Analyze the stack (state management, data fetching, backend vs frontend)
โ Decide WHERE application logic lives naturally in this stack
โ Apply the NO-DEAD-CODE rule: every layer MUST be used
โ See "HEXAGONAL VARIANT โ ARCHITECT DECIDES" in your agent file
โ Justify your choice in the ADR section of design.md
6. Write specs/design/design-v1.md with FULL design:
โ Architecture Decision (ADR style โ why this structure, how it adapts hexagonal)
โ CRAFT Principles Applied (checklist: no any, Result<T,E>, etc.)
โ File Structure (hexagonal adapted to the stack โ justify every layer)
โ Domain Types (entities, value objects, error types with Result<T,E>)
โ API Endpoints / routes (extracted from inputs, not invented)
โ Application layer (use cases, hooks, stores โ whatever fits the stack)
โ Infrastructure (adapters โ level of abstraction adapted to context)
โ Code examples for key patterns (Result handling, layer usage)
โ Implementation Checklist (MANDATORY โ EVERY file with Wave number)
โ Execution Plan (waves for parallelization)
7. Ask user approval BEFORE finalizing
## QUALITY BAR
"If this design is complete, Dev can implement WITHOUT asking questions."
Every file, every type, every interface must be specified.
NO dead code layers โ every file in the design MUST be imported/used by another.

Implement Wave [N] from design: specs/design/design-v1.md
## BEFORE YOU START
1. Read specs/design/design-v1.md
2. Read specs/stack/stack-skills.md โ USE these patterns
3. Find the Implementation Checklist section
4. Identify ALL files in Wave [N]
## CRAFT RULES โ MANDATORY
- Follow the design EXACTLY โ don't invent structure
- Every file gets a colocated *.test.ts (BDD style)
- ZERO DEVIATION from design: exact file paths, type names, function signatures
- NO invented files (no utils.ts, helpers.ts, constants.ts unless in checklist)
- NO dead code (no unused functions, no unused exports, no commented code)
- NO extra abstractions (no wrapper, factory, or pattern the design didn't ask)
- IF something is missing from the design โ notify Architect, don't invent
(CRAFT rules and tool restrictions are enforced by hooks โ see .claude/settings.json)
## OUTPUT
- ALL files in Wave [N] implemented + tested
- FILES CREATED table (file path | status | test status)
