What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps Claude Code delegate narrowly scoped engineering and documentation tasks to IBM Bob Shell without sacrificing architectural control, validation, or integration safety.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Task Fit Assessment: Distinguishes suitable Bob tasks such as documentation, boilerplate, DTOs, bounded refactors, and exploratory work from architecture-heavy or cross-layer tasks.
- Controlled Delegation: Provides single-shot prompt templates, runtime checks, scope boundaries, and draft-output workflows for Bob Shell CLI.
- Validation and Fallbacks: Verifies contracts, real test seams, repository conventions, and scope compliance before accepting, salvaging, or rejecting Bob's output.
- Use Case: Ask the Skill to generate a first-pass serializer in an isolated file, capture the result as a draft, and validate it against the repository's existing interfaces before integration.
Quick Start
Ask the skill to delegate a bounded documentation, boilerplate, or exploratory task to IBM Bob Shell and validate the captured output before applying it.
