A "Synthetic NASA" for Claude Code — 12 engineering specialists that give Claude deep domain knowledge in spacecraft design. Each skill contains:
- Expert persona with 20+ years experience in the domain
- Reference data — real specs, materials, constants (not hallucinated)
- Formulas & equations — vis-viva, link budgets, structural margins, thermal balance
- Worked examples — step-by-step calculations with real numbers
- Error catalogs — common pitfalls and how to avoid them
- Cross-skill connectors — skills reference each other for integrated design
