Goal Engineer Skill for Claude

Use when the user wants to AUTHOR an unattended dispatch for either: (1) a goal-driven evaluator-optimizer loop of the GENERATE-AND-SELECT kind (generate candidates → grade against a rubric → iterate by reason-code → keep the best; the human picks the final selection), or (2) a lean build-to-spec run whose build spec is ALREADY FROZEN (approved ADR / locked design / accepted machine-checkable AC) and the only missing piece is the unattended-execution wrapper. A fresh-session agent runs the dispatch hands-off while the human only watches traffic-light push notifications. Interview-style forcing questions lock the spec, then it emits a self-contained dispatch markdown + a channel-agnostic notification protocol. This is the upstream SPEC AUTHOR, NOT a runtime: the dispatch is run by Claude Code's /goal, a headless `-p` session, or any unattended agent — /goal is the engine, this writes what you feed it. It NEVER authors build specs, product decisions, or AC — creating a build spec / PRD from raw input is prd-create. NOT a time scheduler (/loop or cron), NOT a recurring-push registrar (skill-cron).

Skill Creator

by anthropics

vendor ×10

Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.

Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.

Dispatching Parallel Agents

by ZhanlinCui

×5

Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies

This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take kerberosclaw/goal-engineer from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
