We just published a bunch of our agent skills! We’ve been creating these ad hoc as we work on projects, but we finally pulled them all together into a single consolidated list. Check out our thoughtbot/skills GitHub repo for details about using them.
It’s pretty cool to see these skills downloaded from my coworkers’ heads and into a format that Claude can use. Many of them were inspired by classic posts on this blog and by our style guides. We briefly considered keeping all these skills private: why share our secret recipes? And honestly some of them feel like a real power-up in the right hands. But we’ve got a culture of open source and it feels right to share them with our dev community.
I’m a big fan of /dependabot-review which I use to decide which Dependabot PRs are safe to merge. I’ve also been using /test-driven-development — vibe-coding often results in a bunch of terrible tests and endless mocking, but this red-green-refactor workflow keeps it in check.
I also want to shout out some other skills we’ve been using a lot: Matt Pocock’s /wait-what and /grill-me-with-docs along with Expo’s skills for React Native.
So let us know if you find any of these skills useful, and put up a pull request if you’ve got improvements!
