Add contextual skills for development workflows #2454
Conversation
This implements a comprehensive skill system to provide context-aware documentation for development workflows: - activitypub-dev-cycle: Environment setup, testing, linting, and builds - activitypub-php-conventions: WordPress coding standards and patterns - activitypub-pr-workflow: PR creation and review processes - activitypub-federation: ActivityPub protocol specification - activitypub-testing: PHPUnit and Playwright test patterns - activitypub-release: Version management and releases - activitypub-integrations: Third-party plugin integration Skills use cross-references to reduce duplication while maintaining context-appropriate information. Federation skill focuses on protocol understanding rather than implementation details. Updates .gitignore to track shared skills while ignoring local overrides using the *.local.* pattern.

@pfefferle This will need some more work and polish, there's also still a lot of overlap. I'm curious if this would be helpful to make Claude work better for us. Curious for your feedback/thoughts. See |

I’m not entirely convinced yet. I like the idea of improving how we use AI, but I’d prefer a more generic approach. We’re both using Claude right now, but that could change, and I don’t think we should have to rebuild this whole structure every time we switch models. On top of that, the examples, class structure, and coding standards files feel like they duplicate what already exists in the codebase. The examples and structure are already reflected in the code, and our coding standards are defined in |
