Lecl(a)use Skills

A curated subset of the skills I built while developing applications in Ruby, Swift, Go, JavaScript, Python, Kotlin, and others across various projects. These are the ones I managed to make reusable for colleagues and friends.

I typically prompt in Dutch but write English code, so these skills are a mix of both. The export-skill skill can translate if needed.

Platform notes

Some skills require macOS-specific tools:

clipboard

Rich text mode (/clipboard slack) requires pbcopy-html, a Swift script included in skills/clipboard/:

ln -s "$(pwd)/skills/clipboard/pbcopy-html.swift" /usr/local/bin/pbcopy-html

Plain text mode uses the built-in pbcopy and works out of the box on macOS.

saysay

Speech mode requires macOS say and two scripts included in skills/saysay/:

ln -s "$(pwd)/skills/saysay/saysay" /usr/local/bin/saysay
ln -s "$(pwd)/skills/saysay/say-phonetic" /usr/local/bin/say-phonetic

Phonetic mappings are stored per user in ~/.local/share/saysay/phonetics.json (XDG).

screen-recording

Requires Playwright installed globally:

npm install -g playwright

Plugin versioning

Every plugin's version in packages/<name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json follows the format 1.0.{commits}, where commits is the number of commits that touched packages/<name>/ or skills/<name>/. Versions bump automatically via the repo's pre-commit hook.

Recovery after rebase or manual edits:

bin/plugin-versions --check   # Report drift
bin/plugin-versions --write   # Fix drift
