For engineers using Claude: from test-first code to review, clean commit, PR & release. — built in-house by Skill Me.
Reach for this when you want the craft around a change to stay disciplined instead of rushed. It runs the whole arc: write code test-first with a full worked red-green-refactor cycle, enforce honestly strict TypeScript (the exact tsconfig flags plus a flag-by-flag migration path for loose codebases), self-review the diff as six ordered passes with concrete red flags, then turn it into a clean conventional commit, a reviewer-ready PR description, and a Keep-a-Changelog entry whose version bump follows mechanically from the categories - so the parts engineers get judged on come out consistent rather than improvised at the end.

- Git Commit Writer — Generates conventional commit messages from diffs with scope, breaking change flags, and issue refs. (external — see source)
- PR Description Writer — Turns a git diff into a structured pull request description with motivation, changes, and test plan. (external — see source)
- Changelog Generator — Generate or update a repository CHANGELOG.md in Keep a Changelog format from git history - grouping commits since the last tag into Added/Changed/Deprecated/Removed/Fixed/Security, rewriting them as user-facing entries, and recommending the semantic version bump.
- README Generator — Generates a complete, professional README from a codebase scan - badges, usage, API docs, contributing guide. (external — see source)
- Code Review Checklist — Run a systematic multi-pass code review - correctness, design, security, performance, tests - and report findings ordered by severity with concrete, respectful suggestions.
- TypeScript Strict Mode — Write and review TypeScript as if strict mode plus the hardening flags (noUncheckedIndexedAccess, exactOptionalPropertyTypes) are enforced, and migrate loose codebases to full strictness flag by flag without breaking the build.
- TDD Expert — Drive development with strict Red-Green-Refactor discipline - write one failing test, write the minimum code to pass it, refactor on green - including test-list planning and a worked kata cycle.
- Karpathy Behavioral Rules — Four hard rules that stop Claude from silently over-engineering, making wrong assumptions, or touching code it was never supposed to. (external — see source)
