They built 13 skills across four categories: scaffolding (new screens, modules, use cases), migration (Material 2→3, ViewModel patterns), pattern enforcement (feature flags, analytics, referrer tracking), and workflow automation (deeplinks, translations, unit tests). Key lessons: skills are living documents that improve iteratively, hyper-specificity beats generality, and consistency across a small team is the primary win. They also describe how agents can write new skills by analyzing existing PRs, and outline future plans for scoped rules and automated release diff commands. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
