Free Claude Code skills that give Claude staff-engineer instincts for shipping real apps.
A small, opinionated toolkit: scaffold a production-shaped full-stack app in seconds, and keep your dev machine's toolchain honest — all with best practices baked in (Docker, Doppler secrets, OrbStack domains, pre-commit checks, parallel CI).
/plugin marketplace add squidcode/staffengineer
/plugin install staff-engineer@staffengineer
Then just talk to Claude — e.g. "scaffold a new app called orbit" or "check my devops toolchain".
| Skill | What it does |

- squidci — GitHub Actions CI/CD (build amd64 → push DOCR → deploy)
- squidmon — New Relic (APM, Browser, logs, dashboard, alerts)
- squidpush — real-time messaging (Pusher / self-hosted Soketi)
