claude

Shared Claude Code skills, configuration, and the team knowledge base for TOGA Technology projects.

Onboarding — install on a new machine

Do this once per developer. The harness has two independent parts: the ECC plugin (provides the ecc:* reviewer agents the TOGA agents delegate to) and the TOGA harness (npx toga-ai@latest, which installs the skills, agents, rules, and knowledge base). Install order between the two does not matter.

Prerequisites (must already be installed): • Node.js ≥ 18 — required by npx and the installer. • Git — required for /finish to push and for knowledge auto-updates. • Claude Code — the claude CLI.

Steps:

1. Open a terminal in VS Code and launch Claude Code: 2. Add the ECC marketplace and install the plugin, then reload: 3. Open a new terminal, and from inside the project repo you'll work in, run: This installs the harness into that project's .claude/ and clones the shared knowledge repo to ~/toga-tech. Run it once in each project folder you work in. 4. Start a new Claude Code session. Begin every session with /start TRUE-1234 (your ClickUp ticket id), and run /finish whenever you have something to add to the team knowledge base.

Push access is required to contribute. /finish pushes to _main on agilantsolutions/claude. Each developer must be a **collaborator on that repo with git credentials configured** (HTTPS token / credential manager or SSH). Without it, /finish still writes docs locally but the push fails silently — so the developer won't be contributing knowledge back. npx toga-ai@latest then delivers everyone's captured knowledge to the whole team on each run.

Skills

| Skill | Description |

| start | Start of session. /start TRUE-1234 (ClickUp ticket id only). Reads the ticket (apps, clients, task type, pseudocode) and loads the matching coding standards, framework-core architecture, repo knowledge, and client knowledge from knowledge/. | | finish | End of session. Writes the team KB, checks the ticket fields, and pushes, opens the PRs, and comments on the ticket. Figures out what you worked on, matches it against existing knowledge, and proposes create/update/retire changes for one-tap approval — then writes them and keeps registry.json, frontmatter, and INDEX files consistent. | | create-elastic-beanstalk | Interview for a new Elastic Beanstalk environment, then emit a ready-to-paste CloudShell create-environment command. |

The knowledge base (knowledge/)

The team's feature, workflow, client, and architecture knowledge lives under knowledge/, managed entirely by the start and finish skills. **Developers never hand-edit these files** — run /start TRUE-1234 to start a session and /finish to finish one.

• Framework partitions everything: 1.0/ (the App_ framework, core repo library) and 2.0/ (the _underscore framework, core repo _underscore). Each owns its apps/ and standards/. • App folders are keyed by repo name (2.0/apps/worker2/, …); the project name lives in registry.json and doc frontmatter. • Clients are shared at the top level (clients//), each doc tagging its framework. • registry.json maps **repo ↔ project ↔ framework ↔ role ↔ dependsOn**. Every repo implicitly depends on its framework core; dependsOn adds more. • See knowledge/CONVENTIONS.md for the full structure spec (the same spec is embedded in both skills).

knowledge.js

A dependency-free Node helper that keeps the mechanical parts deterministic (the skills call it):

validate enforces that registry.json, the folder layout, and every doc's frontmatter agree, and runs after every finish write.

Where local paths live

Absolute repo paths are machine-specific and are not stored in this repo. The skills keep them in Claude memory (reference entries team-repo-path and repo-path-), resolved lazily and asked for by repo name only when a session needs them. The first time a developer references a repo on a new machine, the skill asks "What is the path to the repository?" and remembers the answer.

How skills are deployed

Claude Code loads skills from .claude/skills/ at the project root. The skills in this repo are the source of truth — npx toga-ai@latest copies them into that directory.

Updating skills

Run this from the project root to install the latest skills, agents, rules, and knowledge:

Works on Mac and PC.

Adding a skill

1. Create a directory under skills/ with your skill name. 2. Add a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter (name, description) and the instructions. 3. Publish a new toga-ai version; teammates get it on npx toga-ai@latest. 4. Update the table above.
