AJBM Skills for Claude Code

A collection of generally useful Claude Code skills that work across all Anthropic surfaces. These skills are not workflow-specific—they're universal productivity boosters for anyone using Claude Code.

Model compatibility: All skills are tuned for Opus 4.7 (current). They also work on Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6. The 4.7 tuning means more literal instruction-following, fewer redundant tool calls, and reasoning nudges calibrated to the new effort parameter. See CHANGELOG.md for details.

Skills Included

Development (ajbm-dev, v1.3.0)

Skill	Description
systematic-debugging	Four-phase debugging framework: root cause → pattern analysis → hypothesis → implementation. No fixes without understanding.
testing-best-practices	Comprehensive testing quality: 15 evidence-based principles, Testing Trophy strategy, AI oracle prevention, disciplined mocking, and honest reporting.
test-driven-development	Strict TDD enforcement: write failing test first, watch it fail, write minimal code to pass. No production code without a failing test.
setup-linter	Auto-detect, install, and configure project-specific linting with a Stop hook. Supports JS/TS, Python, Rust, Go, Deno.
prompt-craft	19 research-backed prompting techniques with model-specific guidance (Claude 4.6/4.7, GPT-5, o1/o3, DeepSeek, Gemini 3, Kimi K2, Qwen). Modes: Analyze, Craft, Teach, Quick Fix.
authoring-skills	Complete guide for writing skills—SKILL.md best practices, plugin development, triggers, hooks, Anthropic guidelines.
be-creative	Applies Verbalized Sampling (Zhang et al. 2024) — generates multiple low-probability candidates before selecting output. Counteracts centroid bias from alignment training. Reports 1.6–2.1× diversity, ~25% quality gain.
thinking	Router for five analytical modes: first-principles, iterative-depth (multi-lens), council (debate), red-team (adversarial), science (hypothesis-test cycles). Each mode has its own workflows.
pai-skill-transfer	Methodology for porting PAI-embedded skills into standard Claude Code plugins. Strip/rewrite/keep/add checklist, decision heuristics for ambiguous cases, QC grep commands.
skill-distiller	Extracts guidance patterns from conversations (corrections, questions, quality gates, analysis modes) and distills them into permanent replayable skills.
content-analysis	Content-adaptive wisdom extraction from videos/podcasts/articles/YouTube. Detects which wisdom domains exist in the source and builds custom sections rather than forcing fixed headers.
docs-research-specialist (agent)	Looks up current documentation, API syntax, library best practices. Prevents hallucinated or outdated implementations. Exa MCP > Context7 > WebFetch priority.
clean-code-reviewer (agent)	Analyzes code against Robert C. Martin's Clean Code principles. Produces tiered remediation reports (🟢/🟡/🔴). Activated via setup-linter.

Interview & Spec (ajbm-interview, v2.0.0)

Skill	Description
interview	Transform rough ideas into implementation-ready specs. Seven workflows: DevSpec, BusinessIdea, DocumentDraft, DesignReview, Ideation, DevilsAdvocate, QuickClarify. Evolves from Critical Challenger to Expert Partner.

Communication (ajbm-communication, v1.0.0)

Skill	Description
tactical-empathy	Chris Voss negotiation methodology — situation analysis (produces dossier files) and sparring (roleplay with inline [COACH:] coaching). Salary, deals, difficult conversations, persuasion.

Agent Alignment (ajbm-agent-align, v1.0.0)

Skill	Description
agent-align	AI-to-AI delegation alignment — verifies context, constraints, and intent survive handoffs in multi-agent systems. Four levels (Inline, Quick, Full, Deep).

Business (ajbm-business, v1.0.0)

Skill	Description
hormozi-pitch	Alex Hormozi's $100M Offers methodology for creating irresistible offers, pricing, guarantees, and value propositions.
x-post-writer	Twitter/X copywriting system for high-engagement social media content with viral frameworks and examples.

Social (ajbm-social, v1.0.0)

Skill	Description
twitter-cli	Read from and write to Twitter/X — fetch bookmarks, search tweets, read timelines, view profiles, post tweets. Cookie-based auth, no API key needed.

Security (ajbm-security, v1.0.0)

Blocks dangerous bash commands and sensitive file access via the smart-guard PreToolUse hook. No skills — it's a guardrail plugin. Enable/disable via /plugin.
