What specific engineering practices are covered?

It includes 14 specialized skills covering Test-Driven Development (TDD), SOLID principles, Refactoring, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and RFC documentation.

Can I use this for architectural planning?

Yes, it includes specialized workflows for RFC technical design, consensus building, and documenting architectural decisions (ADRs).

How do I see the full list of engineering skills?

Once activated, you can run 'cat ~/.claude/skills/engineering/INDEX.md' within Claude Code to browse the full category index and usage triggers.

What is progressive loading in this skill?

Progressive loading allows the skill to start as a lightweight gateway and only load detailed documentation or specific workflow files when you actually need them, keeping your context window clean.

How does the Engineering Practice Discovery skill activate?

The skill automatically activates whenever Claude Code detects you are working on software engineering tasks such as code reviews, documentation, or technical leadership.

Collaboration Tools

Surfaces essential software engineering skills and best practices for code quality, architecture, and team collaboration.

About

This skill acts as a comprehensive discovery gateway that automatically activates when performing professional software engineering tasks within Claude Code. It provides a structured path to load deeper domain-specific expertise, organizing 14 specialized sub-skills into areas like development practices, RFC documentation, and technical leadership. By enabling progressive loading, it ensures that developers have immediate access to guidance on SOLID principles, TDD, refactoring, and Domain-Driven Design precisely when they need it most, without overloading the context window with unnecessary data.
