12 Engineering Excellence Skills for Claude Code - TDD, spec-driven development, validation, verification, and quality practices
Model the end-to-end system, constraints, and failure modes before touching code; use whenever a change spans multiple layers or unclear requirements.
Decompose work into safe, observable increments with feature flags, rollbacks, and communication baked in.
Design every change with traceability, diagnostics, and fast incident triage in mind across mobile, web, and web3 stacks.
Guard latency, memory, battery, bandwidth, and gas/compute budgets by measuring before and after every change.
Deliver changes with clear communication, reviewer-ready context, and follow-up accountability.

12 Engineering Excellence Skills for Claude Code. Battle-tested practices for TDD, spec-driven development, rigorous validation, and quality delivery.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
eng-tdd | RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle — write failing test first, minimal code to pass, then refactor |
eng-spec-driven | Spec-driven development — plan and document before coding |
eng-rigorous-validation | Reproducible testing, automated verification, evidence-driven sign-off |
eng-verification | Mandatory checklist before claiming work is complete |
eng-testing-anti-patterns | Prevent common testing mistakes (mock testing, test-only prod code) |
eng-performance | Guard latency, memory, and compute budgets with measurement |
eng-observability | Design changes with traceability, diagnostics, and fast incident triage |
eng-security-safety | Proactive threat modeling, least-privilege design, safety guardrails |
eng-user-impact | Anchor engineering decisions in user value and measurable outcomes |
eng-quality-handoff | Deliver changes with reviewer-ready context and follow-up accountability |
eng-holistic-systems | Model end-to-end systems and failure modes before coding |
eng-iterative-delivery | Decompose work into safe, observable increments |
