Convert Cookbook and documentation into Claude Code Skills

[jhs]

Overview

Convert the Cookbook and potentially other documentation into Claude Code Skills to provide better interactive guidance for development tasks.

Background

Claude Code Skills allow packaging reusable workflows and knowledge into executable tools that Claude can invoke contextually. Our existing documentation, particularly the Cookbook, contains patterns that would work well as skills.

Potential Skills to Create

1. Cookbook patterns - Common development patterns from Documentation/Cookbook.md
2. Isomorphic development workflows - Synchronized Python/TypeScript development patterns
3. Testing patterns - BDD test creation following our isomorphic testing guidelines
4. Builder API patterns - Common field definition and validation setups

Benefits

• Interactive, context-aware guidance for common tasks
• Reduced need to reference documentation manually
• Consistent implementation patterns across the codebase
• Better integration with Claude Code workflows
