Skills I actually run
The skill library.
A skill is a set of instructions Claude follows, written in plain English. You can read every one before installing it. Drop one in, then just say the trigger phrase in Claude Code.

Build
The software half. From first site to safe to ship.
day-zero
say: “build my first site”The guided first build. Ushers a complete beginner from empty folder to a live URL. One step at a time, asking before each next step.
install day-zeromkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/day-zero && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/day-zero/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/day-zero/SKILL.md
ship-check
say: “am I ready to ship?”Pre-flight before anyone else touches the app. The three checks every app needs, plus the extra locks for logins, money, and AI. Ends in SHIP or a blocker list.
install ship-checkmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/ship-check && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/ship-check/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/ship-check/SKILL.md
ladder-check
say: “how hard is this to build?”Places any app idea on the 7-rung difficulty ladder: the honest time shape, cost shape, the invisible work the demo hides. And the weekend-sized version of the same idea.
install ladder-checkmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/ladder-check && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/ladder-check/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/ladder-check/SKILL.md
pick-a-stack
say: “what stack should I use?”Places you in one of three columns for nine infrastructure jobs, names the swaps that have a real forcing function behind them, and talks you out of the rest. Most people should be on the starter stack and are being argued out of it by comment sections.
install pick-a-stackmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/pick-a-stack && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/pick-a-stack/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/pick-a-stack/SKILL.md
remake-a-site
say: “remake taylorswift.com as my artist site”Rung one, end to end. Learn the layout of a site you admire, then fill it with words and pictures that are yours. Runs the auth, repo, crawl, deploy and domain silently, and stops six times to make you decide the parts worth learning.
install remake-a-sitemkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/remake-a-site && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/remake-a-site/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/remake-a-site/SKILL.md
site-crawl
say: “crawl this site”Turns a site you admire into a design brief. Captures one page of every template (including the about and legal pages a page limit silently drops), the real hex values and fonts read from CSS with contrast already measured, and all media including the video hero that markdown makes invisible.
install site-crawlmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/site-crawl && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/site-crawl/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/site-crawl/SKILL.md
Design
The looks half. Brand and type, applied like an engineer.
use-my-brand
say: “use my brand”Fetches the brand kit and applies it exactly. Palette, type system, real logo SVGs, naming rules. No freestyling.
install use-my-brandmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/use-my-brand && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/use-my-brand/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/use-my-brand/SKILL.md
publish-brand-kit
say: “publish my brand kit”Turns locked brand decisions into the two-reader kit. A human page with live specimens and a machine-readable BRAND.md that never drift apart. Then sweeps the codebase for violations. Includes the self-violation checks and the enforcement grep.
install publish-brand-kitmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/publish-brand-kit && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/publish-brand-kit/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/publish-brand-kit/SKILL.md
font-match
say: “figure out a font group for me”Figures out a type system from who YOU are. Proposes 2–3 named identities, renders them as a live specimen using your own words, links where to get every font free, then iterates by dials (techier, warmer, louder) until it locks.
install font-matchmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/font-match && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/font-match/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/font-match/SKILL.md
Write
The words half.
plain-english
say: “make this plain english”The 12-year-old test, enforced. Every piece of jargon swapped for a plainer, MORE vivid replacement. With the canonical swap table.
install plain-englishmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/plain-english && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/plain-english/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/plain-english/SKILL.md
Focus
The brain half. Written for ADHD; useful for everyone.
adhd-focus
say: “help me focus”A body double for work blocks. One named task, a two-minute start, a hard timebox, a parking lot for every stray thought, and a no-shame restart when attention slips.
install adhd-focusmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/adhd-focus && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/adhd-focus/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/adhd-focus/SKILL.md
adhd-shutdown
say: “shutdown”The end-of-day ritual. Dump every open loop, sort once, park tomorrow's first move, name the wins, say the words. The brain releases what's been captured.
install adhd-shutdownmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/adhd-shutdown && curl -fsSL https://labs.routiq.ai/skills/adhd-shutdown/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/adhd-shutdown/SKILL.md
How skills work
- 1 · The install command puts a plain-English instruction file in
~/.claude/skills/. - 2 · Claude Code reads that folder when it starts.
- 3 · Say the trigger phrase. Claude loads the skill and follows it. No restart, no config.
