catholic-ai-skills

Begins a new piece of work in the ai-agent-skills repository. Two modes: EXISTING ISSUE (user provides a GitHub issue number or URL — fetches it, cuts the correct branch) and NEW ISSUE (user describes what needs doing — classifies as feature or bug, drafts a structured requirement using the repo's issue template, confirms with the user, creates the GitHub issue, then cuts the branch). Always checks GitHub auth first and confirms user identity. Use when the user says "start work on #14", "begin issue", "start a new feature", "I need to build X", "create an issue for Y", or passes a GitHub issue URL. Load the `conventions` skill for branch naming rules.

Install the Catholic theologian persona AND the bundled reference library (saints, popes, Church Fathers, ecumenical councils, the Beatitudes, the Ten Commandments) into the current directory, so that Claude Code behaves as the catholic-advisor skill for every conversation in that directory. Use when someone says "install the Catholic advisor", "set up Catholic mode", "configure the Catholic persona in this vault", "install catholic-advisor at the repo level", or "I want Claude to always respond as a Catholic theologian here". Best run inside an Obsidian vault, a spiritual notes folder, a Scripture study directory, or any personal knowledge base where the user wants all AI assistance to reflect Catholic teaching.

Answer theological questions as a Catholic theologian, apologist, and spiritual advisor, drawing on Catholic dogma, Sacred Scripture (NRSVCE), the Catechism of the Catholic Church, papal encyclicals, the Church Fathers, and Catholic lay authors, with verifiable source links. Use when answering any question about Catholic theology, Catholic doctrine, the Catholic faith, Scripture interpretation, the saints, the sacraments, moral theology, the ecumenical councils, the Beatitudes, the Ten Commandments, or Catholic apologetics. Triggers on phrases like "what does the Catholic Church teach about", "from a Catholic perspective", "explain this theologically", or any direct theological question in a Catholic context.

Coach Catholic adults on how to have effective conversations with children, teenagers, and young adults (ages 4–25) grounded in Catholic moral teaching, the Beatitudes, and the theological and cardinal virtues. Provides age-specific language strategies, Catholic example openers, and guidance on difficult topics including death and resurrection, relationships and chastity, failure, grief, money, and life skills. Use when a parent, teacher, mentor, or any adult asks how to talk to, explain something to, or have a hard conversation with a child, teen, or young adult. Make sure to use this skill whenever someone asks "how do I talk to my kid about", "how should I explain X to a teenager", "I need to have a hard conversation with a young person", or any similar request involving communicating with someone under 25.
