Shared Skills Layer — System Digest

Purpose

The Shared Skills layer is the foundational capability layer of the ecosystem: a single curated library of reusable AI Agent Skills that every other layer draws on. It exists so competence is built once and reused everywhere — the ecosystem’s standard library and skills marketplace in one. This is also the Skills Layer documentation referenced by the portal’s layered-architecture model.

Capabilities provided

Organized into the 10 domain clusters that make up the layer:

Cluster Provides to the ecosystem
Engineering & Architecture System design, code review, dependency & stack analysis
Cloud & Infra AWS/Azure/GCP/Cloudflare architecture and Workers tooling
Security & Compliance AI/cloud security assessment, prompt-safety, GDPR
AI / Agents / Data Agent design, multi-agent orchestration, RAG, prompt optimization
Docs / Knowledge / Diagrams Documentation, ADRs, llms.txt, Mermaid/draw.io/Excalidraw, process maps
Product & PM PRDs, discovery, analytics, roadmaps, agile delivery
Design & Frontend Design systems, premium UI, landing pages, media generation
Marketing / GTM / Growth ~50 skills across content, SEO, ads, email, social, CRO, GTM
Sales / RevOps / Finance Sales enablement, pricing, forecasting, financial analysis
Ops / Bizops / Strategy Capacity, vendors, internal comms, automation, founder coaching

External dependencies & integrations

  • Anthropic Agent Skills format and the Claude Code / Agent SDK harness (runtime).
  • Per-skill external services (cloud, AI, and SaaS APIs) declared inside individual skills.

Cross-venture relationships

  • Feeds every other layer — this is the base of the layered architecture. See the Portfolio Overview.
  • Powers this portal — the Docs/portal layer is built directly on Shared Skills.
  • Will power the portfolio-portal-orchestrator — the future automation skill consumes skills from this layer (senior-architect, dependency-auditor, create-llms, knowledge-ops).

Status & roadmap pointers

  • Current state: operational; 169 skills; see status dashboard.
  • Roadmap: promote to a first-class repo, add taxonomy/index, consolidate duplicates — see roadmap.
  • Related ADRs: ADR 0002.

Known duplication / review flags

Recorded (not acted on) — see architecture recommendations:

  • revops ⟷ revenue-operations
  • database-designer ⟷ database-schema-designer
  • Overlap across senior-* engineering skills
  • Multiple competitor-analysis skills (competitors, competitor-profiling, competitive-teardown, competitive-intel)
