Creating a New Skill

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Define Purpose

User: "Create a skill for our deployment workflow"

Claude: [ccpm-skill-creator activates]

Let's create a custom CCPM skill for your deployment workflow.

First, let me understand the purpose:

Questions:
1. What does this skill do?
   → "Automates deployment checklist and notifications"

2. When should it activate?
   → "When deploying to staging or production"

3. Which CCPM commands does it work with?
   → "/ccpm:done for production deploys"

4. Does it write to external systems?
   → "Yes - posts to Slack, updates Jira"

5. Is it team-specific or project-specific?
   → "Team-specific - all projects use same deployment process"

Got it! Creating deployment workflow skill...

Step 2: Generate Skill Structure

Creating skill: acme-deployment

Directory structure:
skills/acme-deployment/
├── SKILL.md (main skill definition)
├── deployment-checklist.md (reference doc)
└── environments.md (staging vs production)

Generating SKILL.md with CCPM integration...

Step 3: Add CCPM Integration

---
name: acme-deployment
description: Automates Acme Corp deployment workflow with environment-specific checklists, Slack notifications, and Jira updates. Auto-activates when deploying to staging/production or running /ccpm:done. Enforces deployment checklist completion before external notifications.

# Acme Deployment Workflow

Custom deployment workflow for Acme Corp projects.

## When to Use

Auto-activates when:
- User mentions: "deploy to staging", "deploy to production", "ship it"
- Running `/ccpm:done` command
- Creating release PR

## Integration with CCPM

### Commands
- `/ccpm:done` - Triggers deployment checklist
- `/ccpm:verify` - Pre-deployment verification

### Skills
- `external-system-safety` - Confirms Slack/Jira writes
- `ccpm-code-review` - Ensures verification before deploy

## Instructions

### Deployment Checklist

Before any deployment:
1. ✅ All tests passing
2. ✅ Security scan complete
3. ✅ Performance benchmarks met
4. ✅ Database migrations tested
5. ✅ Rollback plan documented

### Staging Deployment

1. Run pre-deploy verification
2. Deploy to staging environment
3. Run smoke tests
4. Post to #engineering Slack
5. Update Jira with staging link

### Production Deployment

1. **REQUIRE CONFIRMATION** (safety critical)
2. Final verification check
3. Deploy to production
4. Run health checks
5. Post to #general Slack (with confirmation)
6. Update Jira to "Released" (with confirmation)
7. Celebrate! 🎉

### Safety Rules

**⛔ NEVER without confirmation:**
- Production deployments
- Slack posts to #general channel
- Jira status to "Released"

**✅ Always allowed:**
- Staging deployments
- Slack posts to #engineering
- Read operations

See [SAFETY_RULES.md](../../commands/SAFETY_RULES.md)

## Examples

[Team-specific deployment examples]

Step 4: Add Supporting Documentation

# deployment-checklist.md

- [ ] Database migrations run in staging
- [ ] Rollback procedure documented

## Staging Deployment

- [ ] Deploy to staging
- [ ] Smoke tests pass
- [ ] Manual QA complete
- [ ] Staging link shared in Slack

## Production Deployment

- [ ] Final verification
- [ ] Backup database (if schema changes)
- [ ] Deploy during maintenance window

- [ ] Rollback tested

## Post-Deployment

- [ ] Monitor error rates (15 minutes)
- [ ] Check performance metrics
- [ ] Update documentation
- [ ] Close Jira tickets
- [ ] Team notification

Step 5: Test Skill

Testing acme-deployment skill...

Test 1: Activation
Input: "Deploy to production"
✅ Skill activates
✅ Shows deployment checklist

Test 2: Safety
Input: "Post to Slack #general"
✅ external-system-safety blocks without confirmation
✅ Requires explicit "yes"

Test 3: Integration
Input: "/ccpm:done WORK-123"
✅ acme-deployment runs deployment checklist
✅ Integrates with completion workflow

All tests passing ✅

Skill ready to use!

Best Practices for Skill Creation

Do's

• ✅ Use clear, descriptive skill names
• ✅ Include comprehensive trigger phrases
• ✅ Reference CCPM commands explicitly
• ✅ Follow CCPM safety rules
• ✅ Add concrete examples
• ✅ Document external system writes
• ✅ Test skill activation

Don'ts

• ❌ Create overly broad skills
• ❌ Duplicate existing CCPM functionality
• ❌ Skip safety considerations
• ❌ Forget to document CCPM integration
• ❌ Use vague descriptions
• ❌ Hardcode company-specific values
• ❌ Ignore allowed-tools restrictions

Skill Naming Conventions

CCPM-Specific Skills

Prefix with ccpm-:

• ccpm-code-review
• ccpm-debugging
• ccpm-mcp-management

Team-Specific Skills

Prefix with team/company name:

• acme-deployment
• engineering-oncall
• mobile-release

Project-Specific Skills

Store in .claude/skills/ (not plugin):

• ecommerce-checkout
• auth-migration
• analytics-pipeline

Integration Patterns

Pattern 1: Command Integration

Skill activates alongside CCPM command:

---
name: team-pr-template
description: Adds team-specific PR template when running /ccpm:done
---

# Team PR Template

## Integration with CCPM

1. CCPM creates base PR
2. This skill adds team-specific template
3. Template includes:
   - Testing checklist
   - Security review
   - Performance impact
   - Documentation updates

Pattern 2: Hook Complement

Skill provides context for hook:

---
name: team-tdd-guide
description: Provides team-specific TDD guidance when tdd-enforcer hook blocks writes
---

# Team TDD Guide

## Integration with CCPM

Complements `tdd-enforcer` hook:
- Hook: Blocks write without tests
- This skill: Explains team's TDD patterns
- Together: Enforcement + education

Pattern 3: Safety Layer

Skill adds extra safety checks:

---
name: fintech-compliance
description: Enforces financial compliance rules on top of CCPM safety rules
---

Would you like to review the skill before using it?

Example 2: Creating Team Workflow

User: "Create a skill for our code review process"

Claude: [ccpm-skill-creator activates]

Creating team code review skill...

I see CCPM already has `ccpm-code-review` for verification.
Your custom skill can add team-specific practices on top.

Template created:
```yaml
---
name: acme-code-review
description: Acme Corp code review standards. Adds team-specific checks to ccpm-code-review. Requires architecture review for database changes, security review for auth code, and performance review for critical paths.
---

# Acme Code Review Standards

## Integration with CCPM

Extends `ccpm-code-review` with team rules:
- Database changes → Architecture review required
- Auth code → Security review required
- Critical path → Performance review required

## Instructions

[Team-specific review criteria]

Would you like to add more team-specific rules?
