Design-pattern skills (moved to standalone repositories)
June 12, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
This directory previously hosted AKC's design-pattern skills: long-form "how" guidance paired 1:1 with the ADRs that motivate them. They are now published as standalone, installable skill repositories โ the same distribution model as the six cycle skills. The paired ADRs (the "why") remain in this repository.
| Skill | Repository | Paired ADR(s) | One-line summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| when-code-when-llm | shimo4228/when-code-when-llm | ADR-0008 | Per-task decision: is this property structural or semantic? |
| code-and-llm-collaboration | shimo4228/code-and-llm-collaboration | ADR-0008 | Per-pipeline decision: four layering patterns for mixing deterministic code and LLM calls |
| signal-first-research | shimo4228/signal-first-research | ADR-0010 | Design a research intake filter that admits only information likely to change your next action |
Installing
Each repository follows the standard Agent Skills layout
(skills/<name>/SKILL.md):
# manual copy
cp -r skills/<skill-name> ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>
# or via SkillsMP
/skills add shimo4228/<skill-name>
Why they moved
Hosting installable skills two levels deep under docs/ made them hard
to discover and impossible to install with standard tooling. Moving each
to its own repository matches the cycle-skill distribution model while
the ADR pairing survives as cross-links: each skill's README and
references section points back to its ADR here, and the table above
points forward.
