Our review
This skill integrates a Claude global skill into a project's development guidelines by reading the skill, categorizing it as frontend or backend, writing a dedicated section in .trellis/spec/{target}/doc.md, adding template examples, and updating the index.
Strengths
- Structures skill knowledge into maintainable guideline documents
- Uses the .template suffix to prevent IDE errors on example files
- Clearly categorizes skills into frontend or backend targets
- Provides a detailed integration report with tech stack compatibility
Limitations
- Only supports a predefined set of skill categories
- Depends on the .trellis directory structure and the openskills tool
- Does not directly generate or modify project code
Use when you want to make a reusable Claude skill part of a project's documented development standards.
Do not use if you need immediate project code generation or if your project does not follow the .trellis specification structure.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill instructs reading existing skills, updating documentation, creating example templates, and installing dependencies as part of integration. No destructive commands, exfiltration, or obfuscation are present. Commands like 'openskills read' and package manager installs are legitimate and typical for development workflows.

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
