It's a Next.js frontend with a FastAPI backend, Postgres, Jest and pytest for tests, and ESLint plus Black for linting. I haven't set anything up yet. Can you look through the codebase and recommend which hooks, subagents, skills, or MCP servers I should add first?” **example-2** “My team has been using Claude Code for a few months on a Rust CLI project with GitHub Actions CI and a lot of generated protobuf code. It feels like we're repeating the same prompts constantly, like running clippy, updating changelogs, and writing release notes. Can you analyze the repo and suggest automations that would streamline our workflow?” ## Install Download the .zip and unzip it. Put its files, in a folder named `claude-automation-recommender`, here: Claude Code · `~/.claude/skills/` · Every project. For one project only, use .claude/skills/ inside it. Codex · `~/.agents/skills/` · Every project. For one repository only, use .agents/skills/ inside it. Cursor · `~/.cursor/skills/` · Cursor also reads the Claude Code and Codex folders above. Then start a new session and ask for what the skill does. Other agents that read SKILL.md have their own skills folder; check their docs. Or [install from your agent](https://carteblanche.com/connect.md): ask it to install `claude-automation-recommender` from Carte Blanche. ## Badge for your README Carte Blanche: Verified Paste this into the skill’s README. It links to this page, and shows how the listing stands whenever it’s loaded. ``` [![Carte Blanche](https://carteblanche.com/badge/claude-automation-recommender.svg)](https://carteblanche.com/skills/claude-automation-recommender) ``` ## About this test - **tested**: 7 Nov 2026 - **version tested**: v1 - **cases**: 2 - **tries per case**: 1 try per case - **run without the skill**: yes - **cases written by**: Carte Blanche - **size**: 42908 characters What this shows, and what it doesn’t How 2 models answered these 2 requests, with and without the skill. It says nothing about other models, and it doesn’t limit what your own agent can do. [How we test](https://carteblanche.com/how-it-works.md)
