swekit (Duck Skills)

A Claude Code skill ecosystem for structured software development workflows.

Skills

Skill	Purpose	Triggers
brainstorming	Vague idea → research direction	"I want to build...", "How might we...", unclear requirements
research	Evaluate options, gather context	Package selection, architecture decisions, gray areas
planning	Break work into phases and tasks	Feature specs, bug fixes requiring multiple changes
executing	Run tasks with subagents	Phase plan ready, independent tasks to parallelize
reviewing	Verify work against spec	Implementation complete, before merge
debugging	Root cause analysis	Errors, test failures, unexpected behavior
prompt-leverage	Structure effective prompts	Delegating to subagents, complex task handoffs

Workflow

brainstorming → research → planning → executing → reviewing

git submodule add https://github.com/duchm1606/swekit.git .claude/skills/duck

Updating

cd ~/.claude/skills/duck  # or your install location
git pull

Usage

Skills are invoked automatically when Claude detects matching triggers, or manually:

/duck:brainstorming    # Start with vague idea
/duck:research         # Evaluate packages/approaches
/duck:planning         # Create phase plan
/duck:executing        # Run with subagents
/duck:reviewing        # Verify against spec
/duck:debugging        # Root cause analysis

Inspirations

Built by studying and adapting from:

• GET SHIT DONE — context engineering, deep brainstorming
• Superpowers — TDD discipline, subagent isolation, systematic debugging
• Khuym — beads task graph, validation gates
• ClaudeKit Engineer — multi-agent research, domain skills library
