3 Claude Code skills that make Claude Code actually smart

Learn from every session. Stop losing your context. Make Claude follow real workflows. Three skills, ready to install.

/retrospective Learn from each interaction. Self-improvement loop, every time.
/handoff Stop making your Claude Code dumb. Never lose your work.
/skill-management Make Claude follow complex orchestrated workflows. Skill creator skill.

How it works

/retrospective - learn from every session

Run it at the end of a session. It scans the conversation for corrections, redone work, missing steps, and new patterns that worked.

Then it proposes specific changes to your existing skills - new rules, fallback steps, anti-patterns to avoid. You approve, the skills update. Next session is smarter than the last.

/retrospective                    # analyze current session
/retrospective video              # focus on one skill
/handoff - stop losing your work

Whenever your context window gets too full, transfer the work to a fresh agent. Two modes:

immediate - builds the handoff prompt and puts it on your clipboard. Paste in the next session and continue.

park - writes the handoff into the session file itself. Resume later by reopening the session.

Either way, your work is preserved as a structured Progress entry. The session file is the persistent record.

/skill-management - the meta-skill

The skill that helps you create skills. Lean SKILL.md as a router, with stages pointing to workflow files. Each workflow is a playbook for one specific operation.

Progressive disclosure: only the metadata sits in context. Full SKILL.md loads when triggered. Bundled scripts and references load when needed.

├── SKILL.md      # router + minimal docs
├── workflows/    # step-by-step procedures
├── scripts/      # helper scripts
└── references/   # on-demand docs

Skills come from your actual usage. Do the work first - record a video, prepare a workshop, ship a feature. Package it as a skill afterwards while context is fresh.
