Solid Skills

Professional software engineering skills for AI coding agents. Transforms code into senior-engineer quality software through SOLID principles, TDD, clean code practices, and professional software design.

Skills follow the Agent Skills format.

Available Skills

solid

Transform junior-level code into senior-engineer quality software. Primarily designed for TypeScript and NestJS projects, but applicable to any object-oriented codebase.

Use when:

• Writing any code (features, fixes, utilities)
• Refactoring existing code
• Planning or designing architecture
• Reviewing code quality
• Debugging issues
• Creating tests
• Making design decisions

Core principles:

Principle	Focus
TDD	Red-Green-Refactor cycle, tests before code
SOLID	Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion
Clean Code	Meaningful names, small functions, no comments needed
Design Patterns	Creational, Structural, Behavioral patterns
Architecture	Vertical slicing, dependency rule, clean architecture

Reference documentation included:

• solid-principles.md - SOLID principles with TypeScript examples
• tdd.md - Test-Driven Development practices
• testing.md - Testing strategies and patterns
• clean-code.md - Clean code guidelines
• code-smells.md - Code smell detection and fixes
• design-patterns.md - GoF patterns with examples
• architecture.md - Clean architecture principles
• object-design.md - Object stereotypes and responsibilities
• complexity.md - Managing essential vs accidental complexity

Key features:

• Enforces TDD workflow (write failing test first)
• Detects and fixes code smells automatically
• Applies SOLID principles to every class and function
• Uses value objects for domain primitives (IDs, emails, money)
• Follows Law of Demeter and Tell Don't Ask
• Keeps methods under 10 lines, classes under 50 lines

Installation

Usage

Skills are automatically available once installed. The agent will use them when relevant tasks are detected.

Examples:

• "Implement a user registration feature"
• "Refactor this service to follow SOLID principles"
• "Review this code for quality issues"
• "Add tests for this module"
• "Design the architecture for a payment system"
