Description

@kanfil

Summary

Add Anthropic's 9-category Skill Types Taxonomy to the LevelUp extension to guide CDR classification during discovery.

Motivation

When discovering CDRs, teams need guidance on what type of skill to build. Anthropic's Claude Code team documented a 9-category taxonomy that helps answer "What type of skill should this be?"

Reference: Lessons from Building Claude Code: How We Use Skills

Proposed Changes

1. Update CDR Template (templates/cdr.md)

Add "Type" field to CDR schema:

  • Library & API Reference
  • Product Verification
  • Data Fetching & Analysis
  • Business Process Automation
  • Code Scaffolding & Templates
  • Code Quality & Review
  • CI/CD & Deployment
  • Runbooks
  • Infrastructure Operations

2. Update Extension Defaults (extension.yml)

Add type field to CDR defaults.

3. Document in README

Add "Skill Types Taxonomy" section with guidance on when to use each type.

4. Update init Command

Suggest skill type during CDR discovery.
