Creates TypeScript-compliant code skeletons with TODO placeholders — type definitions, function signatures, and test structure — leaving implementation details for later completion in Steps 0-1 (Design Discovery + Skeleton Creation) of the TDD lifecycle. Coherence Mandate. Every edit must produce one continuous, deliberate work. Rewrite over restructure, restructure over integrate, never append. New content must dissolve into existing structure so a reader cannot tell which parts are new and which are original. Visible patch seams, parallel code paths, addendum sections, vestigial helpers,…
Draft Code is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the languages sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/draft-code/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when starting new implementations, creating code scaffolds, or preparing test structure for TDD.
The Draft Code Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 176,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/draft-code/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Draft Code is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
