Skills and Prompt Registry

A versioned garden of Claude skills and prompts. Each entry has an owner, a use case, a version and test results. Prompts and skills are treated as engineering assets, not chat history.

Status Lifecycle

seed -> draft -> tested -> approved -> deprecated

Everything in this pack starts as seed. Nothing reaches approved without an owner and a passing test record.

Start Here

Read 00-setup/cold-start-guide.md. It takes you from an empty repo to a public sample registry in five phases.

Owner

Thomas Cherickal owns and curates the seed entries in 00 to 03. Public skills in 04 keep their original authors as owners, with Thomas Cherickal as curator.

Second Brain
