Wiring Verification
npx skills add https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill wiring
When building infrastructure components, ensure they're actually invoked in the execution path.
Every module needs a clear entry point. Dead code is worse than no code - it creates maintenance burden and false confidence.
Before marking infrastructure "done", verify:
# Hook registered?
grep -r "orchestration" .claude/settings.json
# Skill activated?
grep -r "skill-name" .claude/skill-rules.json
# Script executable?
ls -la scripts/orchestrate.py
# Module imported?
grep -r "from orchestration_layer import" .
# Entry point (hook)
.claude/hooks/pre-tool-use.sh
↓
# Shell wrapper calls TypeScript
npx tsx pre-tool-use.ts
↓
# TypeScript calls Python script
spawn('scripts/orchestrate.py')
↓
# Script imports module
from orchestration_layer import dispatch
↓
# Module executes
dispatch(agent_type, task)
# Don't just unit test the module
pytest tests/unit/orchestration_layer_test.py # NOT ENOUGH
# Test the full invocation path
echo '{"tool": "Task"}' | .claude/hooks/pre-tool-use.sh # VERIFY THIS WORKS
## Wiring
- **Entry Point**: PreToolUse hook on Task tool
- **Registration**: `.claude/settings.json` line 45
- **Call Path**: hook → pre-tool-use.ts → scripts/orchestrate.py → orchestration_layer.py
- **Test**: `tests/integration/task_orchestration_test.py`
# BAD: Created orchestration_layer.py with 500 lines
# But nothing imports it or calls it
# Result: Dead code, wasted effort
# GOOD: Start with minimal wiring, then expand
# 1. Create hook (10 lines)
# 2. Test hook fires
# 3. Add script (20 lines)
# 4. Test script executes
# 5. Add module logic (iterate)
# BAD: Agent router has dispatch logic
# AND skill-rules.json has agent selection logic
# AND hooks have agent filtering logic
# Result: Three places to update, routing conflicts
# GOOD: Single source of truth for routing
# skill-rules.json activates skill → skill calls router → router dispatches
# BAD: Assume because you wrote the code, it's imported
from orchestration_layer import dispatch # Does this path exist?
# GOOD: Verify imports at integration test time
uv run python -c "from orchestration_layer import dispatch; print('OK')"
# BAD: Only unit test
pytest tests/unit/ # All pass, but nothing works end-to-end
# GOOD: Integration test the wiring
pytest tests/integration/ # Verify full call path
// .claude/settings.json - hook definition exists but not in hooks section
{
"hooks": {
"PreToolUse": [] // Empty! Your hook never fires
}
}
Fix: Add hook registration:
{
"hooks": {
"PreToolUse": [{
"matcher": ["Task"],
"hooks": [{
"type": "command",
"command": "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks/orchestration.sh"
}]
}]
}
}
# Script exists but can't execute
-rw-r--r-- scripts/orchestrate.py
# Fix: Make executable
chmod +x scripts/orchestrate.py
# Script tries to import but path is wrong
from orchestration_layer import dispatch
# ModuleNotFoundError
# Fix: Add to Python path or use proper package structure
sys.path.insert(0, str(Path(__file__).parent.parent))
# BAD: Router has beautiful mapping
AGENT_MAP = {
"implement": ImplementAgent,
"research": ResearchAgent,
# ... 18 agent types
}
# But no dispatch function uses the map
def route(task):
return "general-purpose" # Hardcoded! Map is dead code
# GOOD: Dispatch actually uses the map
def route(task):
agent_type = classify(task)
return AGENT_MAP[agent_type]

Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.
Analyzes job descriptions and generates tailored resumes that highlight relevant experience, skills, and achievements to maximize interview chances
Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.
Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
Take parcadei/wiring from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
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.
The instructions reference npx.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
