Workflow skills
for Claude Code.
Five free skills that teach Claude Code discipline, not just power. Clarify before acting. Plan before coding. Verify before claiming done. Built by Harrison Painter, AI strategist at LaunchReady.ai.
What is inside
-
Brainstorm First
Clarifies what you actually want before taking any action. Restates the request, asks two or three targeted questions, and waits for answers before proceeding.
Fires on: any new task or feature request. -
Plan Before Building
Writes a short implementation plan and gets your approval before touching any code. Lists every file it will create or modify. No surprises.
Fires on: multi-step requests, new features, refactors. -
Verify Before Done
Runs tests, checks files exist, and verifies output before claiming a task is complete. Reports what it checked and what it found. Ends the era of "Done!" with broken code.
Fires on: every task completion. -
Push Back
Challenges assumptions and researches before recommending tools, libraries, or approaches. States trade-offs instead of agreeing reflexively. Admits uncertainty instead of guessing.
Fires on: opinions, recommendations, technical choices. -
Session Journal
Saves what was accomplished, what is pending, and what it learned at the end of each session. Reads the journal at the start of the next one so context carries over.
Fires on: session start and end.
