skill-quiver

A curated collection of 61 production-grade skills for AI-assisted development.

Claude Code primary. Model-agnostic where possible.

Quick Start

# Copy a skill into your project
cp skill-quiver/code/patterns/api-design/SKILL.md .claude/skills/api-design/SKILL.md

Or install the /quiver loader for interactive search and install.

Skill Types

Every skill has a type field in its frontmatter:

Type	Meaning	What it does when loaded
execution	Autonomous procedure	Drives work immediately — Claude follows steps
reference	Knowledge base	Provides context during work, not direction
persona	Role identity	Shapes approach and communication style
setup	One-time config	Run once, output persists across sessions

See MANIFEST.md for the full machine-readable skill index with types and weights.
