Claude Skills

Drop-in skills and plugins for Claude Code that turn it into a specialist.
Autonomous QA • iOS design • AI image generation • DTC copywriting • Landing page architecture

What Are Skills?

Skills are markdown instruction files that give Claude Code deep domain expertise. Install one and Claude gains an opinionated, battle-tested workflow for that domain — not just knowledge, but judgment.

Each skill is a SKILL.md file (with optional reference docs) that you drop into ~/.claude/skills/. Claude Code loads them automatically.

Plugins

Autonomous QA

	Plugin	What It Does
	qa-monkey	A suspicious, curious QA engineer that continuously probes your project for bugs nobody else caught. 6 specialist agents (Invariant Checker, Silent Failure Hunter, Drift Detector, Data Integrity Auditor, Test Gap Finder, Visual Auditor) investigate with confidence-scored, evidence-backed findings. Ralph-loop iteration, Puppeteer screenshots, multi-hypothesis testing. Born from catching real production bugs — the hard way.

Plugins vs Skills: Plugins have commands (/qa-monkey), hooks, and agents. Skills are passive instruction files. Both live in this repo.

Skills

Design & Development

	Skill	What It Does
	ios-frontend-design	An opinionated creative director for iOS apps. Produces distinctive SwiftUI interfaces that honor HIG while rejecting the generic "AI-generated app" look. Includes anti-slop patterns, color palette methodology, adaptive layout system, and worked examples.

AI Image Generation

	Skill	What It Does
	ad-creator	Generates ad images using Google's Nano Banana (Gemini) API. Comes with a Python generation script, 40 proven DTC ad templates (social proof, comparison, UGC, editorial, and more), and an interactive prompt-crafting workflow.

DTC Copywriting & Conversion

	Skill	What It Does
	conversion-architect	20 mental models for auditing and architecting DTC landing pages. Covers MECLABS diagnostics, belief chains, emotional sequencing, objection mapping, and more. The strategic foundation layer for all copywriting skills.
	copywriting-strategist	Generates campaign angles using the Angle Generation Machine methodology. Includes Schwartz's 7 techniques, 25 headline formulas, emotional triggers library, and a systematic process for turning brand knowledge into high-converting hooks.

How the copywriting skills work together

┌─────────────────────────┐
│   conversion-architect  │  Audit existing pages or
│   (20 Mental Models)    │  architect new ones
└──────────┬──────────────┘
           │
           ▼
┌─────────────────────────┐
│  copywriting-strategist │  Generate strategic angles
│  (Angle Generation)     │  and headline variations
└──────────┬──────────────┘
           │
           ▼
     [ Your copy ]

Start with conversion-architect to diagnose what's wrong or plan what to build. Then use copywriting-strategist to generate the angles and headlines.

Installation

Install QA Monkey (plugin)

git clone https://github.com/lisovet/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/skills/qa-monkey ~/.claude/plugins/qa-monkey

Then restart Claude Code and run /qa-monkey to start investigating.

Install all skills

git clone https://github.com/lisovet/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

Install a single skill

git clone https://github.com/lisovet/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/skills/ios-frontend-design ~/.claude/skills/

Lightweight install (SKILL.md only — no references)

For skills without reference files (ios-frontend-design only):

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/ios-frontend-design
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lisovet/claude-skills/main/skills/ios-frontend-design/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.claude/skills/ios-frontend-design/SKILL.md

Note: ad-creator, conversion-architect, and copywriting-strategist have references/ directories that the skill reads at runtime. Use git clone + cp -r for those — a single curl won't get the supporting files.

Verify

After copying, restart Claude Code. The skill appears automatically — invoke it with /<skill-name> or let it activate based on context.
