How to Use This Skill
When Creating Commands
Instead of writing from scratch:
description: ???
What should this do?
Use command patterns from common-commands.json :
description: Run development server with hot-reload argument-hint: [--port PORT] allowed-tools: Bash(*)
Start the {FRAMEWORK} development server with hot-reload enabled.
Arguments:
- $1: Port number (optional, defaults to {DEFAULT_PORT})
Usage:
/{COMMAND}- Start on default port/{COMMAND} 8080- Start on custom port
This will:
- Check if port is available
- Start development server
- Display access URL
When Creating Agents
Instead of starting blank:
name: ??? description: ???
What should this agent do?
Use agent patterns from common-agents.json :
name: {framework}-security description: PROACTIVELY review {FRAMEWORK} code for security vulnerabilities, OWASP risks, and framework-specific security issues. MUST BE USED when reviewing authentication, permissions, user input handling, or when explicitly requested for security review. tools: Read, Grep, Bash model: sonnet
You are a {FRAMEWORK} security expert specializing in identifying and preventing security vulnerabilities.
Your Responsibilities
- OWASP Top 10 Prevention
- SQL Injection / NoSQL Injection
- XSS (Cross-Site Scripting)
- CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery)
- Authentication/Authorization flaws ...
When Creating Documentation
Use templates from documentation-templates/ :
Read documentation-templates/README_template.md and fill in framework-specific content:
-
Replace {FRAMEWORK_NAME} with actual framework
-
Replace {VERSION} with version info
-
Fill in {FEATURES_LIST} with actual features
-
Customize {PROJECT_STRUCTURE} with real directory tree
-
Add actual commands to {COMMANDS_TABLE}
When Choosing Template Scope
Reference reference.md for guidance:
For a minimal starter:
-
5-6 essential commands (dev, test, lint, format, create-*)
-
3 core agents (security, framework-expert, test-generator)
-
1-2 skills (basic patterns, simple generator)
For a standard template:
-
10-12 commands (add DB commands, deployment, etc.)
-
5-6 agents (add performance, domain-specific agents)
-
3-4 skills (advanced patterns, validators)
For a comprehensive template:
-
12-15 commands (add CI/CD, monitoring, advanced ops)
-
6-8 agents (add architecture, optimization, specialized)
-
4-5 skills (complete pattern library)
When Using Presets
Load a preset from presets/ directory:
// presets/minimal-backend-api.json { "template_type": "backend-api", "depth": "minimal", "commands": ["dev", "test", "lint", "format", "create-route"], "agents": ["security", "api-expert", "test-generator"], "skills": ["api-patterns"], "features": { "database": true, "auth": false, "real_time": false, "file_uploads": false } }
Use this as a starting point and customize based on specific framework and user requirements.

Working with Patterns
Step 1: Identify Similar Templates
Before creating a new template, find existing templates that are similar:
New Python backend → Study Django, Flask, FastAPI templates New JavaScript frontend → Study React template New data application → Study Streamlit template New scraping tool → Study Scrapy template New desktop app → Study Tkinter template
Step 2: Extract Relevant Patterns
Look at the similar template's:
-
.claude/commands/
-
What commands do they have?
-
.claude/agents/
-
What agent roles are defined?
-
.claude/skills/
-
What skills are provided?
-
CLAUDE.md
-
What sections and content structure?
-
README.md
-
How is it organized?
Step 3: Adapt to New Framework
Take patterns and customize:
-
Replace framework names
-
Adjust tool/package names
-
Modify code examples
-
Update best practices
-
Adapt conventions
Step 4: Validate Completeness
Check against reference patterns:
-
✅ Have 10-12 commands covering all categories?
-
✅ Have 5-6 agents covering all roles?
-
✅ Have 3-4 skills covering key needs?
-
✅ Documentation is comprehensive?
-
✅ Framework files are included?
Best Practices
- Don't Reinvent the Wheel
If a pattern exists in another template and can be adapted, use it. This ensures consistency and quality.
Example: The security agent pattern works for all frameworks - just change framework-specific vulnerabilities.
- Maintain Pattern Consistency
When creating similar components across templates:
-
Use the same naming conventions
-
Use the same frontmatter fields
-
Use the same section structures
-
Use similar examples and explanations
- Learn from Complete Templates
The 6 complete templates (Django, React, Flask, Tkinter, Streamlit, Scrapy) are excellent:
-
Study their structures before creating new templates
-
Copy their documentation styles
-
Reuse their agent methodologies
-
Adapt their skill patterns
- Use Presets as Starting Points
For quick template creation:
-
Select appropriate preset (backend, frontend, desktop, data)
-
Load preset configuration
-
Customize for specific framework
-
Expand based on user requirements
-
Validate completeness
- Reference Documentation
Point users to:
-
reference.md for quantitative patterns
-
common-commands.json for command structures
-
common-agents.json for agent templates
-
documentation-templates/ for doc structures

Success Metrics
This skill is successful when:
-
✅ New templates follow the same patterns as existing ones
-
✅ Template creation is faster (reuse vs create from scratch)
-
✅ Template quality is consistent across frameworks
-
✅ Common components (security agent, etc.) are standardized
