Software Development Agent Stack (SDAS)

A ready-made library of 64 “skills” that teach Claude how to do real work for your team — code review, security audits, sales research, weekly status updates, and more. Includes a workflow orchestrator per department that chains the underlying skills into end-to-end flows, plus paired remediation skills in Security so findings get closed, not just reported.

You don’t need to be an AI expert to use this. If you can copy and paste a command, you can install it. If you can send a message in a chat app, you can use the skills.

What is this?

This is a folder of text files that teach Claude (Anthropic’s AI assistant) how to do specific tasks the way your team would want them done.

For example, you can install the code-review skill, then say to Claude “review this pull request” — and instead of giving you a generic AI answer, Claude will follow a structured checklist (security issues, performance problems, style issues, test gaps) and give you a review that looks like one a senior engineer would write.

We’ve written 64 of these skills across 8 departments (55 task skills, 9 workflow orchestrators; the Security department ships both scan/report skills and paired remediation skills plus a second orchestrator):

• 👩‍💻 Developers — review code, write tests, refactor safely, generate commit messages, debug, design APIs, write docs, bootstrap new projects
• 🔒 Security — run audits, scan for leaked secrets, check dependencies for known vulnerabilities, write pentest reports, scan containers, check SOC2 compliance
• 🚀 DevOps — deploy with canaries, generate CI/CD pipelines, write Terraform, build Helm charts, respond to incidents, find cloud cost waste
• 🛠 Infrastructure — set up Prometheus/Grafana, aggregate logs, manage SSL certs, diagnose network issues, design backups, check cluster health
• ✅ QA — generate Playwright/Cypress tests, audit API specs, measure Core Web Vitals, check WCAG accessibility, create test data, file bug reports
• 💼 Sales — research leads, analyse competitors, write proposals, draft outreach sequences, respond to RFPs, prep for meetings
