Optimize Prompts With Proven Patterns
LLM prompts can fail through unclear instructions, weak examples, or missing evaluation. This skill provides templates, reasoning patterns, and optimization workflows for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.
Manage Context-Driven Development
AI-assisted projects lose consistency when context lives in scattered notes. This skill provides a structured Conductor workflow for product, stack, workflow, and track artifacts.
Build Startup Financial Models
Startup teams need financial plans that connect revenue, hiring, expenses, runway, and fundraising assumptions. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through structured 3-5 year projections and scenario planning.
Write Blameless Incident Postmortems
Incident reviews often lose key facts or produce vague follow-up work. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through timelines, root cause analysis, meetings, and action items.
Transform Data Into Decision Stories
Raw metrics often fail to guide stakeholder decisions. This skill turns analysis into clear narratives, visual structures, and action plans.
Apply Python Design Patterns
Python projects often grow complex when responsibilities mix and abstractions appear too early. This skill guides focused refactors using KISS, SRP, layering, composition, and dependency injection.
