software-engineering-skills
Collection of agents, commands and skills for software engineering.
Some skills were collected from authors listed in the Resources section and some were crafted from study notes and practical examples.
The goal is to enable any agent to develop software using the industry's consolidated knowledge.
Plugins are available for specific stacks: Java, Node.js, Python, Angular, React, DevOps tooling, and more.
[!NOTE]
All plugins depend on programming-skills as a base. Install it first before any other plugin.
