Covers the craft arc (intent, layout, roughing, fitting, finishing, inspection), the distinction between process knowledge and product knowledge, and how craft traditions encode error-correction in their sequencing. Use when designing a new trade process, diagnosing a faltering one, or teaching craft structure to a learner.

From the source SKILL.md

Craft is not a residual category of "work that isn't knowledge work." It is its own discipline with its own epistemology — a body of knowledge that lives in hand, eye, and workshop practice as well as in drawings and specifications. This skill catalogs the structural moves that skilled craft practitioners use to take a problem from intent to finished object, and the reasons those moves survive across centuries and trades.

What this skill does

Craft Methodology is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/craft-methodology/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when designing a new trade process, diagnosing a faltering one, or teaching craft structure to a learner.
