playbooks

v0.13.11

Doctrine and knowledge playbooks as on-demand skills, repo-sweep for running a catalog of hygiene skills through a repository one commit per step, plus a maintainer-facing update skill. boris carries Boris Cherny's Claude Code workflow tips (howborisusesclaudecode.com), skill-authoring carries Anthropic's internal skill-authoring playbook, and fable-5 carries Claude Fable 5's operating doctrine (self-authored, no upstream). The boris and skill-authoring packs vendor a verbatim upstream baseline; /playbooks:update drift-checks and syncs those baselines centrally (maintainers).

Included Skills5

borisskills/boris/SKILL.md

Boris Cherny Claude Code workflow tips (howborisusesclaudecode.com). 127 tips across 115 sections on parallel sessions, planning, CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, permissions, autonomy, orchestration, loops, and context engineering. Use when: 'how does Boris use Claude Code', 'Claude Code workflow tips', 'optimize my CLAUDE.md', 'improve my Claude Code setup', 'parallel Claude sessions', 'hook ideas', or optimizing Claude Code setup, workflows, CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, or parallel sessions.

fable-5skills/fable-5/SKILL.md

Claude Fable 5's operating doctrine, authored by Fable 5 as standing instructions that arm the current session immediately, with chapters loading on demand at their trigger moments: calibration, reasoning moves, problem framing, planning, debugging, execution, orchestration, verification, communication, recovery, context economy, and trust boundaries. Use when: 'fable playbook', 'fable-5-playbook', 'operate like Fable', 'load the playbook', at the start of any substantive engineering session, or proactively before any multi-step task where judgment quality matters. Also hosts the per-model adaptation chapters (Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, Opus 5, Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5): use when running on any model other than Fable 5, or when adapting a repo's prompts or instructions to one of them: 'fable 5.1 adaptation', 'opus 5.5 adaptation', 'model delta', 'model adaptation chapter'.

repo-sweepskills/repo-sweep/SKILL.md

Run a playbook of hygiene skills through one repository per sweep: one branch, one draft PR whose body holds the step checklist, one commit per step, /clear between steps, resumable from any session or machine. Actions: plan (recommend run, rerun, or not-applicable per catalog entry, open the selection page, open the draft PR), next (run the first unticked step), review (file skill defects found in the last step). Use when: 'sweep this repo', 'run the hygiene playbook', 'repo sweep', 'next sweep step', 'continue the sweep', 'review the last sweep step'.

skill-authoringskills/skill-authoring/SKILL.md

Anthropic's internal skill-authoring playbook. 9 skill categories, gotchas-section pattern, progressive disclosure (SKILL.md hub + spoke files), description-as-trigger discipline, config.json first-run setup, persistent CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA storage, CLAUDE_EFFORT effort-aware behavior, helper scripts, on-demand session-scoped hooks, distribution, and composition. Use when: creating or reviewing a SKILL.md, choosing a skill's category or structure, writing its description or gotchas section, or asking for skill-authoring best practices: 'create a skill', 'how to write SKILL.md', 'skill best practices'.

updateskills/update/SKILL.md

Maintainer-facing drift-check and upstream sync for the playbooks plugin's vendored packs (boris, skill-authoring). Run only from a working-tree checkout. Actions: --check (default, read-only drift report) and --apply (refresh vendored baselines). Not for consumers, consumers update via /plugin marketplace update.
