Productivity Claude Skills
3 457 productivity skills from 510 authors. They keep notes, tasks, calendars and plans in order. Half of them fit into 1 851 tokens or less — that is what one costs your context window when the agent loads it. 479 ship runnable scripts rather than instructions alone. 51 of them cannot work without an MCP server, most often rube. We also found 364 copies of these same skills sitting in other people's repositories — counted once here, not 364 times.

Use as stage 1 of the Butterbase journey, when the user has only a rough idea ("I want to build something that..."). Conducts a concrete, one-question-at-a-time brainstorm that surfaces who the user is, what they do first, what the must-haves are, and inline-tags Butterbase capabilities (→ manage_schema, → deploy_function, etc.). Produces docs/butterbase/01-idea.md.
Analyze context and decide on continuation via Stop hook. Use when determining if work should continue, analyzing completion status, making continuation decisions, or implementing the Two-Claude pattern.
Use when designing an autonomous agent, planning agent architecture, building a scheduled automation, or creating a Claude Code agent workflow. Triggers: 'design an agent', 'build an automation', 'agent architecture', 'automate this workflow', 'create a scheduled agent', 'shell script agent'.
Design effective AI agent systems with clear architecture, capability planning, and tool integration. Use when building agent systems, designing agent workflows, planning tool ecosystems, defining agent roles and boundaries, or architecting multi-agent systems. Covers agent patterns, agentic loops, capability design, and system composition.
Use when the user asks to design multi-agent systems, create agent architectures, define agent communication patterns, or build autonomous agent workflows.
Plans a reversible architecture migration with compatibility, data movement, rollout, and rollback. Use for current-to-target transitions; not execution, generic planning, or delivery review.
Creates a project baseline of architecture drivers and constraints. Use before design or planning; not for target design, plan review, implementation, or architecture audit.
Creates a decision-complete target system design from requirements and constraints. Use before implementation planning; not for requirements baselines, reviews, audits, or code changes.
Records one architecture decision with context, alternatives, tradeoffs, and consequences. Use for a significant choice; not for broad design, audit, or implementation.
Evaluates new product directions using current demand, acquisition, competition, economics, and validation evidence. Use before commitment; not for backlog or implementation planning.
Build production procedural mesh systems in Three.js. Use for complete hard-surface object assemblies, tilted shell lofts, UV-owned apertures, sculpted rail and frame profiles, oriented branch rings, semantic mesh writers, deliberate skins and caps, fin lofts, custom normals, material slots, instancing decisions, and close-inspection geometry budgets.
Explain and configure individual spacing algorithms using student performance data and forgetting curves. Use when personalising retention schedules in adaptive learning platforms.
Classify curriculum content into Know, Understand, and Do categories to align teaching and assessment approaches. Use when planning units, writing objectives, or selecting assessment methods.
Analyse student work against criteria to identify specific gaps between current performance and learning objectives. Use when reviewing submissions, planning feedback, or diagnosing learning needs.
Design a project-based learning brief with a driving question, milestones, and assessment criteria. Use when planning PBL units, inquiry projects, or extended investigations.
Analyse the language demands of a classroom task to identify barriers for EAL and multilingual learners. Use when adapting tasks, planning support, or assessing linguistic accessibility.
Modify a lesson plan using SIOP sheltered instruction principles to support language learners across all four skills. Use when planning lessons for classes that include EAL students.
Structure a direct experience into a full learning cycle with concrete experience, reflection, and conceptual transfer. Use when planning field trips, simulations, or practical tasks.
Map curriculum connections across multiple subjects for a real-world problem or authentic context. Use when planning cross-curricular projects or connecting content to real issues.
Design a structured outdoor learning sequence embedding curriculum objectives in an available outdoor space. Use when planning lessons in school grounds, parks, or local natural environments.
Design a service-learning project connecting genuine community need with embedded curriculum learning. Use when planning community projects, civic engagement, or social action units.
Design a checking-for-understanding protocol with specific techniques for each lesson stage. Use when planning systematic comprehension checks during explicit or direct instruction.
Design a lesson opening that activates prior knowledge and connects previous learning to today's content. Use when planning lesson starters, retrieval openers, or advance organisers.
Design a pedagogical documentation protocol for making children's learning processes visible and shareable. Use when documenting learning, communicating with families, or planning next steps.
Design formative assessments that make students' historical thinking visible — revealing whether they source, close-read, contextualise, and corroborate. Use when assessing historical thinking skills or planning a diagnostic.
Design a teacher think-aloud that models historical thinking strategies with a specific document. Use when planning explicit strategy instruction or when students follow a protocol without understanding the underlying reasoning.
Analyse text complexity across quantitative, qualitative, and reader-task dimensions with scaffolding recommendations. Use when selecting texts, assessing readability, or planning reading support.
Redesign a blocked topic sequence into an interleaved plan with mixed practice across related topics. Use when planning units, homework schedules, or revision programmes.
Design a spaced retrieval schedule for any topic list and timeline. Use when planning units, term sequences, or revision programmes.
Design a learning task where mixed-age students work together with mutual benefit for all age groups. Use when planning cross-age tutoring, vertical grouping, or multi-year group activities.
Design an uninterrupted work cycle with choice-based activities structured within a realistic time block. Use when planning Montessori-style independent work periods or extended choice time.
Coordinates UDL and differentiation tools through a universal-first hierarchy: barrier removal before targeted differentiation before individualised accommodation. Use when planning accessible learning.
Structure a decision or design challenge through multiple perspectives before committing to action. Use as a synthesis step after scoping, mapping, and dilemma navigation when a group needs a wiser next step.
Design a single-point rubric with one criterion and open columns for evidence. Use for student self-assessment, peer feedback, teacher formative feedback, or pre-task planning. Works with any learning target, with or without a band system.
Design a focused lesson observation protocol with specific look-fors and evidence collection methods. Use when planning peer observations, coaching visits, or developmental classroom visits.
Design a complete lesson study cycle from research question through collaborative planning to research lesson. Use when planning jugyou kenkyuu or collaborative teacher inquiry into practice.
Design a professional development session using adult learning principles with active teacher engagement. Use when planning INSET days, CPD workshops, or staff training sessions.
Develop TPACK for integrating a specific technology or AI tool into subject teaching with pedagogical alignment. Use when adopting new ed-tech, reviewing AI tools, or planning technology integration.
Select and configure a structured discussion protocol matched to the purpose, topic, and group readiness. Use when planning classroom discussions, Socratic seminars, or structured debate.
Design a diagnostic hinge question that reveals whether students understand enough to move on. Use when planning key checkpoints mid-lesson during explicit or direct instruction.
Agentic Workflow Pattern
Content marketing strategy - content audit, editorial calendar, SEO optimization, content funnel (TOFU/MOFU/BOFU), performance metrics, developer content, social media planning
CTO-level advisory - build vs buy decisions, tech debt quantification, team scaling, ADRs, technology evaluation (RICE), budget planning, TCO, vendor management, DORA/SPACE metrics
PR size-based review depth, performance review checklist, architecture conformance checks, and framework-specific review patterns.
Phase transition validation with artifact checklists, PASS/FAIL/CONDITIONAL gates for workflows
Interactive workspace discovery - learn what tools, workflows, agents, and hooks are available
Hierarchical memory organization for multi-session context retention. Wings (projects) > Rooms (domains) > Drawers (decisions). Semantic search across all memories with zero cloud dependency.
Use this skill when context compression is imminent, when resuming a session, or when preserving critical decisions across long tasks. Provides a durable notepad that survives compaction and lets any agent pick up exactly where the previous context left off.
