Study Repos First

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: education-learning  ·  Last updated:
The Lossless Group's discipline of pinning a curated collection of upstream repos (a "study") around a domain question *before* designing or coding in that domain. Use when starting work that touches conventions, file formats, schemas, protocols, or any decision where prior art exists; when the user mentions "study", "studies/", "reference collection", "prior art", "pin a submodule", or names of existing studies (open-specs-and-standards, memory-layers-for-agents, data-analytics-specifications-and-standards); when scaffolding a new study, extending one, or deciding whether something belongs in a study vs. a project. Encodes the "read upstream code, don't paraphrase from training data" behavior.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill is foundational and iterative. It will be expanded as we work through real studies together. Treat the contents as the current best understanding, not the final word.

What this skill does

Study Repos First is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the education-learning sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/study-repos-first/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when starting work that touches conventions, file formats, schemas, protocols, or any decision where prior art exists; when the user mentions "study", "studies/", "reference collection", "prior art", "pin a submodule", or names of existing studies (open-specs-and-standards, memory-layers-for-agents, data-analytics-specifications-and-standards); when scaffolding a new study, extending one, or deciding whether something belongs in a study vs. a project.

Who uses this skill
