Skills

Atelier installs custom agent skills that Claude Code uses to brainstorm ideas, plan work, implement tasks, verify results, and revise documents. You can use Atelier entirely through the UI, but the buttons on the kanban board and editor are powered by these skills.

Skills are portable agent capabilities. Atelier invokes them for you when you click actions like Plan, Implement, Verify, or Revise, and you can also run them directly from Claude Code with slash commands such as /atelier-plan or /atelier-verify.

How skills fit Atelier

1. Capture — You add ideas to the backlog (no skill).
2. Brainstorm — Use the Brainstorm Skill to explore an idea and capture analysis notes inline.
3. Plan — Use the Planning Skill to turn a todo into a plan and optional tasks.
4. Implement — Use the Implement Skill to implement each task.
5. Verify — Use the Verify Skill per task (mode=task), then for the plan (mode=plan).
6. Revise — Use the Revise Skill to refine any markdown document with targeted AI-assisted edits. Common after planning, but works at any stage.
7. Explore — Use the Explore Skill to create grounded walkthroughs of code, docs, architecture, data flow, or operational procedures.

See the Guides for step-by-step usage from Atelier’s UI. See the individual skill reference pages for exact inputs, outputs, and invocation details.
