create-branch
About
This Claude Skill automatically creates timestamped Git branches with standardized prefixes (feat, fix, refact) for feature work, bug fixes, or refactoring. It executes a Bash command to generate a branch named with the prefix and current timestamp, then checks out the new branch. Developers should use it within Claude Code to quickly initialize properly-named topic branches for development tasks.

Documentation
Create Branch
Create a new timestamped topic branch.
Instructions
Create a timestamped branch with the given prefix:
git checkout -b "<prefix>-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
Valid Prefixes
- feat - New feature
- fix - Bug fix
- refact - Refactoring
Output
The script outputs the created branch name:
feat-20260120-205418
The branch is automatically checked out after creation.

algorithmic-art
MetaThis Claude Skill creates original algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameters. It generates .md files for algorithmic philosophies, plus .html and .js files for interactive generative art implementations. Use it when developers need to create flow fields, particle systems, or other computational art while avoiding copyright issues.
subagent-driven-development
DevelopmentThis skill executes implementation plans by dispatching a fresh subagent for each independent task, with code review between tasks. It enables fast iteration while maintaining quality gates through this review process. Use it when working on mostly independent tasks within the same session to ensure continuous progress with built-in quality checks.
executing-plans
DesignUse the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.
cost-optimization
OtherThis Claude Skill helps developers optimize cloud costs through resource rightsizing, tagging strategies, and spending analysis. It provides a framework for reducing cloud expenses and implementing cost governance across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Use it when you need to analyze infrastructure costs, right-size resources, or meet budget constraints.
