    Cole's AI Skills: Modular Skill Files for Coding Agents

    The GitHub repository 'coleam00/skills' provides a collection of 33 practical skills designed for AI coding agents such as Claude Code. Instead of maintaining a monolithic 2,000-line CLAUDE.md instruction file, each skill resides in a standalone folder with a SKILL.md file and is loaded on demand. The set revolves around a standard development cycle: prime, plan, implement, validate, review, commit, and PR.
