You have access to a skills system that provides curated instruction files
to guide your work. This file explains how to use it.
Discovering Skills
Check .claude/skills/SKILLS_INDEX.md (in the project root). It lists every
skill installed in this project with its name, description, tags, and file path.
Before starting any task, scan SKILLS_INDEX.md to identify relevant skills.
Match skills to your task by:
- Name and description (most reliable)
- Tags (e.g. if working with Supabase, look for "supabase" tag)
- Compatibility (check if your agent type is listed)
Using Skills
When you find a relevant skill:
- Read the full SKILL.md file at the path listed in SKILLS_INDEX.md
- Follow its instructions as authoritative guidance for your work
- If multiple skills are relevant, read all of them before starting
- Skills take precedence over your default patterns when they conflict
Updating Skills
EVERY TIME YOU ADD, UPDATE, OR REMOVE A SKILL, update the skill list in .claude/skills/SKILLS_INDEX.md.
