The team currently keeps the directory in .gitignore to allow individual tinkering, but wants a way to include shared skills while excluding half-finished personal work. The post seeks technical and communication solutions from other teams.", "body_md": "My team wants to adopt a shared set of skills in our codebase: design rules, reusable component references, copy guidelines, etc. Currently, we've kept .claude/skills in .gitignore, since devs constantly tinker with their own set of skills, and we want to keep encouraging that. So, if we remove it from .gitignore, everyone gets the shared skills automatically- but doing so pulls in everyone's half-finished, personal, or irrelevant experiments into the shared codebase.\n\nHow have other teams solved this? It's feeling like a combination of technical solution but also communication: keep your dirty skills outside of commits. Would love to hear what's actually worked!\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48737209](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48737209)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 2", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-how-do-you-share-skills-across-your-dev-team", "canonical_source": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48737209", "published_at": "2026-06-30 18:33:01+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-30 18:50:51.142450+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Hacker News", ".claude"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-how-do-you-share-skills-across-your-dev-team", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-how-do-you-share-skills-across-your-dev-team.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-how-do-you-share-skills-across-your-dev-team.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-how-do-you-share-skills-across-your-dev-team.jsonld"}}
