Our review
This skill adapts a global Claude skill into a project's development guidelines, updating documentation and examples rather than generating code directly.
Strengths
- Ensures consistency by translating skills into project-specific guidelines
- Organizes examples in a structured way
- Provides a clear workflow and report
Limitations
- Does not produce actual code, only guidelines
- Requires the target project to have a .trellis structure
- Depends on the skill being available via openskills
When you want to codify a reusable Claude skill into your project's official guidelines so that all agents follow the same patterns.
If you need immediate code generation or if your project doesn't use the .trellis documentation structure.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill provides instructions for integrating other skills into project documentation and guidelines. It uses standard commands like openskills read, mkdir, and npm install for legitimate purposes, with no destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated actions. The content is transparent and does not instruct disabling safety mechanisms.

Examples
/trellis:integrate-skill frontend-design/trellis:integrate-skill mcp-builder/trellis:integrate-skill webapp-testingIntegrate Claude Skill into Project Guidelines
Adapt and integrate a Claude global skill into your project's development guidelines (not directly into project code).
Usage
/trellis:integrate-skill <skill-name>
Examples:
/trellis:integrate-skill frontend-design
/trellis:integrate-skill mcp-builder
Core Principle
[!] Important: The goal of skill integration is to update development guidelines, not to generate project code directly.
- Guidelines content -> Write to
.trellis/spec/{target}/doc.md- Code examples -> Place in
.trellis/spec/{target}/examples/skills/<skill-name>/- Example files -> Use
.templatesuffix (e.g.,component.tsx.template) to avoid IDE errorsWhere
{target}isfrontendorbackend, determined by skill type.
Execution Steps
1. Read Skill Content
openskills read <skill-name>
If the skill doesn't exist, prompt user to check available skills:
# Available skills are listed in AGENTS.md under <available_skills>
2. Determine Integration Target
Based on skill type, determine which guidelines to update:
| Skill Category | Integration Target |
|----------------|-------------------|
| UI/Frontend (frontend-design, web-artifacts-builder) | .trellis/spec/frontend/ |
| Backend/API (mcp-builder) | .trellis/spec/backend/ |
| Documentation (doc-coauthoring, docx, pdf) | .trellis/ or create dedicated guidelines |
| Testing (webapp-testing) | .trellis/spec/frontend/ (E2E) |
3. Analyze Skill Content
Extract from the skill:
- Core concepts: How the skill works and key concepts
- Best practices: Recommended approaches
- Code patterns: Reusable code templates
- Caveats: Common issues and solutions
4. Execute Integration
4.1 Update Guidelines Document
Add a new section to the corresponding doc.md:
@@@section:skill-<skill-name>
## # <Skill Name> Integration Guide
### Overview
[Core functionality and use cases of the skill]
### Project Adaptation
[How to use this skill in the current project]
### Usage Steps
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
### Caveats
- [Project-specific constraints]
- [Differences from default behavior]
### Reference Examples
See `examples/skills/<skill-name>/`
@@@/section:skill-<skill-name>
4.2 Create Examples Directory (if code examples exist)
# Directory structure ({target} = frontend or backend)
.trellis/spec/{target}/
|-- doc.md # Add skill-related section
|-- index.md # Update index
+-- examples/
+-- skills/
+-- <skill-name>/
|-- README.md # Example documentation
|-- example-1.ts.template # Code example (use .template suffix)
+-- example-2.tsx.template
File naming conventions:
- Code files:
<name>.<ext>.template(e.g.,component.tsx.template) - Config files:
<name>.config.template(e.g.,tailwind.config.template) - Documentation:
README.md(normal suffix)
4.3 Update Index File
Add to the Quick Navigation table in index.md:
| <Skill-related task> | <Section name> | `skill-<skill-name>` |
5. Generate Integration Report
Skill Integration Report: <skill-name>
# Overview
- Skill description: [Functionality description]
- Integration target:
.trellis/spec/{target}/
# Tech Stack Compatibility
| Skill Requirement | Project Status | Compatibility | |-------------------|----------------|---------------| | [Tech 1] | [Project tech] | [OK]/[!]/[X] |
# Integration Locations
| Type | Path |
|------|------|
| Guidelines doc | .trellis/spec/{target}/doc.md (section: skill-<name>) |
| Code examples | .trellis/spec/{target}/examples/skills/<name>/ |
| Index update | .trellis/spec/{target}/index.md |
{target}=frontendorbackend
# Dependencies (if needed)
# Install required dependencies (adjust for your package manager)
npm install <package>
# or
pnpm add <package>
# or
yarn add <package>
[OK] Completed Changes
- [ ] Added
@@@section:skill-<name>section todoc.md - [ ] Added index entry to
index.md - [ ] Created example files in
examples/skills/<name>/ - [ ] Example files use
.templatesuffix
# Related Guidelines
- [Existing related section IDs]
6. Optional: Create Usage Command
If this skill is frequently used, create a shortcut command:
/trellis:create-command use-<skill-name> Use <skill-name> skill following project guidelines
