Project Skill Prompt
# Project-Specific Skill Extraction Prompt
**Where to use:** Claude Code (VS Code extension or terminal), opened
inside your actual project folder - it needs real repo context.

## Prompt
\`\`\`
I want you to create a PROJECT-SPECIFIC skill file for this codebase,
complementing a general workflow skill I already have installed globally.
Step 1: Review this project's structure, conventions, testing setup, and
any patterns specific to how code should be written, verified, or tested
here.
Step 2: Perform one small representative task in this repo (e.g., a small
refactor, bug fix, or feature addition), narrating:
1. Project-specific conventions you're following (naming, structure, style)
2. Which test commands/tools you run to verify correctness in THIS repo
3. Any repo-specific gotchas, build steps, or verification steps that
differ from generic best practice
Step 3: Write a SKILL.md that captures ONLY what is specific to this
project - do not repeat generic planning/verification advice, since that's
handled by a separate global skill. This file should focus on: this repo's
structure, this repo's test/build commands, this repo's conventions, and
any project-specific gotchas.
Format requirements:
- YAML frontmatter with "name" (use something distinct like
"repo-specific-conventions") and "description"
- Concise markdown sections
- Concrete commands (exact test/build/lint commands used in this repo)
Save the output as .claude/skills/repo-specific-conventions/SKILL.md in
this project.

## Result
Saves directly to:
\`\`\`
.claude/skills/repo-specific-conventions/SKILL.md
\`\`\`when to use it
