KX Skills for Claude Code

Contributing

We want this to grow. If you've found a better way to do something, improved a checklist, or want to add a new skill entirely — please open an issue or pull request against KxSystems/kx-skills.

Skills are plain markdown — no code required to improve them.

---

Principles

1. Skills are living documents. If a checklist item is wrong or missing, fix it.
2. Evidence over assertions. Skills must require proof of work, not just promises.
3. No gold-plating. Add complexity only when it prevents real problems.
