@sam saw you used Claude a bit.. what's your thoughts on adding an `AGENTS.md`/ CLAUDE.md to the repo?

[sam]

would be a great idea

[sam]

theres skills too

[sam]

[Emil Kantis]

I'm gonna do a /init and see what it spits out.. hope it doesn't burn all my quota blob joy

[sam]

haha 🙂

[Emil Kantis]

Hard to tell if this is useful.. Generated with Opus 4.6

CLAUDE.md

[sam]

oh interesting, so you're adding a claude file for people working ON kotest

[sam]

that's great

[sam]

I was thinking we could also make a skill that people who use kotest in their projects can use

[Emil Kantis]

Ohh, that's also a cool idea!

[Emil Kantis]

teach it how to run tests, interpret results, etc

[sam]

yes

[Emil Kantis]

Maybe also other skills for adding tests?

[sam]

over time we make the skill better so claude knows more about kotest's capabilities

[Emil Kantis]

Is there any marketplace for skills where you can publish stuff?

[sam]

sort of. It's like github actions

[sam]

you just publish it to git and then you can "install" it like you reference a github action inside your github workflows

[Emil Kantis]

ah okay

[Alfonso Ristorato]

should we collectively come up with something to put in here https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-agent-skills?

I am trying my luck with a lib I created, as they seem to want to collect various kotlin skills, and it would be quite good to have kotest in there 🙂
lots of the stuff @Alex Kuznetsov has written in cookbook could potentially be re-used or referenced too

[Emil Kantis]

We could try out using the Claude skill-creator skill? 😄

[Alfonso Ristorato]

jokes aside, yes we can try if that is a thing 🙂

[sam]

Sounds like a great idea

[Alfonso Ristorato]

I will start a PR within kotest for the skill - will be empty for now and we can all give it a go and iterate before proposing it to the kotlin ppl

[Alfonso Ristorato]

go nuts with your agents 🙂 https://github.com/kotest/kotest/pull/5754

[sam]

I've never made one before

[sam]

Are we all just contributing to the same file?

[Alfonso Ristorato]

I would say to create your own dir within the skills dir - I have added this info in the guide

[sam]

Ahh k I'm at happy hour will look later
