Explains the standard Mini Infra workflow and which skill to reach for at each step — brainstorm → plan → execute → review → ship — plus the worktree and diagnostic helpers that wrap around it. Use this skill whenever the user asks "what's the workflow", "which skill do I use for X", "how do I work on a feature/task", "what skills do I have", "remind me of the flow", "help me with skills", "what's next", "where am I in the process", or any equivalent ask for a workflow refresher or a pointer to the right skill. Also use it when the user is mid-flow and seems unsure which skill comes next (e.g. they just finished a review and ask "now what?"). Do **not** trigger for questions about Claude Code itself (slash commands, hooks, MCP) — those go to claude-code-guide — and do **not** trigger when the user has already named the specific skill they want to run.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill is a map, not an executor. It tells the user (or you) which skill to reach for at each step of the standard Mini Infra workflow. When in doubt, print the relevant section verbatim — the user is asking for a reminder, not a re-derivation.

What this skill does

Help Skills is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ai-tooling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/help-skills/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Help Skills Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 157,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
