Guided, jargon-free starting point for people with no schema and no database yet — a short 7-question wizard that turns "I want to build an app" into a concrete engine recommendation and a first data model. Zero artifacts required. Use when the user has nothing to audit, asks how to begin, says they're not technical, or doesn't know what database or schema they need.

130 other projects use a version of this.

  • CoralGameSkill

    setup-engine

    Configure the project's game engine and version. Pins the engine in CLAUDE.md, detects knowledge gaps, and populates engine reference docs via WebSearch when the version is beyond the LLM's training data.

  • CoralGameSkill

    team-audio

    Orchestrate audio team: audio-director + sound-designer + technical-artist + gameplay-programmer for full audio pipeline from direction to implementation.

    Also in 13 projects that use this

  • lilangMaxSkill

    create-stories

    Break a single epic into implementable story files. Reads the epic, its GDD, governing ADRs, and control manifest. Each story embeds its GDD requirement TR-ID, ADR guidance, acceptance criteria, story type, and test evidence path. Run after /create-epics for each epic.

  • lilangMaxSkill

    story-done

    End-of-story completion review. Reads the story file, verifies each acceptance criterion against the implementation, checks for GDD/ADR deviations, prompts code review, updates story status to Complete, and surfaces the next ready story from the sprint.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 117 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Follow the 7-question wizard in references/design-wizard.md (the canonical question set and the mapping from answers → paradigm/engine).

    line 16
  2. Distinctive:

    Never fabricate prices, performance numbers, or row counts.

    line 31
  3. Distinctive:

    If an answer is missing, ask — don't assume.

    line 32

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 117 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

/claude-db:start

The front door for someone with zero artifacts — no schema, no migrations, no database. It asks a short, plain-language wizard and ends with a concrete recommendation. No jargon: no "normalization", "cardinality", or "partition key" in the questions.

$ARGUMENTS = an optional one-line description. If present, pre-fill what you can and skip questions already answered.

How to run it

Follow the 7-question wizard in references/design-wizard.md (the canonical question set and the mapping from answers → paradigm/engine). Ask the questions conversationally, one cluster at a time, in plain words — roughly:

  1. What are you building, in one sentence?
  2. What are the main things you'll store (people, orders, messages, posts…)?
  3. How do those things relate to each other?
  4. What will you do most — look one thing up, list/search many, or crunch numbers over lots of rows?
  5. How much data and how many users, roughly (a hobby project, a startup, or huge)?
  6. Any hard rules — must never lose a record, must be fast above all, has to handle money or personal data?
  7. What are you comfortable running or paying for (managed/serverless vs self-hosted)?

What to produce

  • A plain-language recommendation: which database to start with, in one sentence, and why — defaulting to the boring, safe choice (usually Postgres) unless an answer genuinely points elsewhere.
  • A starter data model for the main things named, with the obvious relationships and the few constraints/keys that keep data clean — described in words, with a simple diagram.
  • A clear next step: "Save this as your schema, then run /claude-db:audit to score it" or "Run /claude-db:design for the full technical layer."

Honesty

  • Never fabricate prices, performance numbers, or row counts; describe trade-offs in plain qualitative terms.
  • If an answer is missing, ask — don't assume. Respond in the user's language (EN/ES).

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
