Coding agent essentials

Your coding agent plans before it builds, tests before it claims, and finds the cause before it fixes.

The 6 skills, and why each one

Instructions only: 4 of 6 · the other 2 also run scripts or commands — each entry says which

  • brainstorming

    Before any new feature, it makes the agent ask what you actually want and agree a design with you.

    obraIncludes 4 scripts
  • grilling

    The agent interviews you about a plan, one round of questions at a time, until nothing is left assumed.

    mattpocockInstructions only
  • writing-plans

    Turns an agreed design into a step-by-step plan the agent follows, before code is touched.

    obraRuns terminal commands
  • test-driven-development

    Write the failing test, then the code — so 'done' means a test passed, not that it looks done.

    obraRuns terminal commands
  • systematic-debugging

    Finds the root cause of a bug before proposing a fix, instead of guessing patches.

    obraIncludes 2 scripts
  • code-review-and-quality

    A review across correctness, readability, security and performance before you merge.

For each one: copy everything in that GitHub folder into ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ (make the folders if needed; if a folder of that name already exists, ask me before replacing it). Use git or download the files, whichever works on this computer.
Each link points at the exact version Launch7 checked — install that version, not a newer one.
Do not run any scripts from the skills while installing them.
When you're done, list what you installed and remind me to start a new Claude Code session so the skills load.

(From my Launch7 stack: https://launch7.in/stacks/coding-agent-essentials/)

    Works on Windows, macOS and Linux. Your AI asks before it runs anything.

  2. Start a new Claude Code session. Each skill is used when a task matches it — you don’t have to name it.

For macOS, Linux, or Git Bash on Windows.

All 6 in one download. Every skill’s whole folder, scripts included, to copy into ~/.claude/skills. Steps inside.

launch7-coding-agent-essentials-for-claude-code.zip

Packed in your browser straight from GitHub — nothing passes through Launch7.

Every link in the message points at the version Launch7 checked, where the skill’s page says it is pinned. Launch7 has not run these end to end.
