Markers
Use this skill whenever you need the exact format, lifecycle, or strict rules for the agile-team-v2 code markers — `// AC: <criterion>` + `// TODO(impl-<feature-slug>, ac-<NNN>)` + `panic(\"not implemented\")` (inlined by the architect during scaffolding above each scaffolded function body that maps to an acceptance criterion) and `// SCENARIO: <narrative>` + `// TODO(impl-<feature-slug>, scenario-<NNN>)` + `t.Skip(\"not implemented\")` (inlined by the PM in passe 2 inside business test skeletons under `pm_test_territories`). Covers the strict marker format that `check.sh` enforces (kebab-case feature-slug, three-digit zero-padded NNN, exact `ac-` or `scenario-` prefix), the `pm_test_territories` glob block declared in `.architecture/CONVENTIONS.md` (where `// SCENARIO:` markers may live), the seven-step marker lifecycle (architect scaffolds → PM passe 2 → red → green → e2e-tester → reviewer pass 2 → TODO removed when feature done while `// AC:` stays as permanent record), and the marker-based task lookup procedure (`grep -rn TODO(impl-...)` to locate the scaffolded body or test skeleton — replaces v1 TASK.md/TASK-red.md/TASK-green.md/SCAFFOLD.md prose intermediaries). Loaded by every agent that touches markers in any way: architect (writes `// AC:`), PM (writes `// SCENARIO:`), red (locates AC and writes assertions), green (reads AC and removes TODO when done), e2e-tester (locates SCENARIO and writes e2e assertions), reviewer (Pass 2 verifies marker ↔ user-journey alignment), sprint-planner (lists tasks by code marker in SPRINT.md). Bug-detective is the only agent that does not load this skill — it reads `// AC:` from committed code post-mortem without needing the format spec.

From the source SKILL.md
The intent of every feature in agile-team-v2 lives in two marker conventions, declared in .architecture/CONVENTIONS.md. They are the contract between agents — replacing the v1 prose intermediaries (TASK.md, TASK-red.md, TASK-green.md, SCAFFOLD.md).
What this skill does
Markers is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the storytelling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/markers/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Markers Claude Code skill is built for content creators, marketers, copywriters, SEO professionals, and editorial teams. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 146,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

What does the Markers skill do?
Use this skill whenever you need the exact format, lifecycle, or strict rules for the agile-team-v2 code markers — `// AC: <criterion>` + `// TODO(impl-<feature-slug>, ac-<NNN>)` + `panic(\"not implemented\")` (inlined by the architect during scaffolding above each scaffolded function body that maps to an acceptance criterion) and `// SCENARIO: <narrative>` + `// TODO(impl-<feature-slug>, scenario-<NNN>)` + `t.Skip(\"not implemented\")` (inlined by the PM in passe 2 inside business test skeletons under `pm_test_territories`).

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Markers skill?
Use Markers when your Claude Code task falls under the Content category — specifically in the storytelling area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Markers" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/content/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Markers skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
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. Markers is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Content category. Learn more at
/learn/what-is-a-claude-skill/.
