FAQ
What is a Claude Code productivity skill?
A package that teaches your agent a working discipline — planning before execution, verifying before claiming done, structuring multi-step tasks.
What does verification-before-completion do?
It stops your agent from saying "done" without evidence. One of the highest-leverage habits you can install — most AI mistakes happen in the gap between claimed and actual completion.
Are these skills hard to set up?
No — one-line install, no external accounts, no API keys. They're pure methodology encoded as instructions.
