The Claude Code Arsenal

# The Claude Code Arsenal

Five skills. That's most of the distance between you and the people who look faster at this.
They loaded five slots you didn't.

This is the ARSENAL kit: those exact five files, copied as-is out of a working
~/.claude/skills/ directory. No summaries, no rewrites for the audience. What runs here is what
you get.

## What's in the rack

`grill-me` — the plan interview. It asks you one question at a time, follows the branch you
were dodging, and attacks each claim as you make it. It stops when the open-questions list is
empty, and it writes the decisions and the risks to a markdown file so the plan exists outside
your head.

`prompt-forge` — the run scaffold. Its own thesis is that your raw ask is usually fine; what
separates a good run from a great one is the structure around it. So it doesn't rewrite your
sentence. It adds the six labelled parts that were missing: goal, context, freedoms, loop,
verify, and what "felt" means for this task.

`handoff` — tomorrow opens warm. Nothing in a normal setup hands a half-finished task to a
different session or a different terminal. This writes that document in one shot, so the next
window opens where you stopped instead of from zero.

`learn` — the lesson becomes callable. When you've just figured something out, this turns the
recipe into a named skill you can invoke later. It shows you a draft and waits: a first pass from
one session is a skeleton, not a finished skill, and it says so.

`session-search` — every past conversation, greppable. Every Claude Code session is logged as
JSONL under ~/.claude/projects/. This is full-text ripgrep across all of it: "did we discuss
X", "find that session where…". On the machine this kit came from that's 38 project folders deep.

1. Unzip. You get five folders, each holding one SKILL.md, plus this README.
2. Copy the five folders into ~/.claude/skills/:

   cp -R grill-me prompt-forge handoff learn session-search ~/.claude/skills/

1. Start a new session. Type /handoff to confirm the routing works.
2. session-search needs ripgrep: brew install ripgrep (or your platform's equivalent).

Installed is not learned. All five are slash-triggered, so nothing fires until you type it. Copying
the folders changes nothing on its own; the rack won't open itself. The compounding only starts
the third or fourth time you reach for one without thinking about it, and two of the five
(handoff, learn) exist specifically to make the *next* session better than this one, which
means their value is zero until there is a next session that reads them.

That's the honest shape of it. It is still the cheapest five files I know of.

Comment ARSENAL on the reel and I'll send it over — or just grab it at
sharpendaily.co/kit/arsenal. No email, no DM, nothing
expires.
