Claude Code skills for founders building with AI

I help founders who build with Claude Code write the skills that keep AI-generated code secure, consistent and well structured from the first commit. You keep the speed of AI-assisted development without piling up code that nobody can maintain.

You need this if

  • You are building your product with Claude Code or another AI coding tool, and there is no senior engineer on the team yet.
  • Every new feature comes out with a different style and a different structure.
  • You are not sure the AI is handling secrets, authentication and user input safely.
  • You want to move fast now without paying for it later with a rewrite.

What you get

  • Security skills: rules for secrets, authentication, authorization, input validation and dependencies, applied on every change.
  • Architecture skills: the patterns that fit your product, such as layering, domain boundaries, event-driven flows where they make sense and infrastructure as code on AWS, written down so the AI follows them.
  • Code hygiene skills: conventions, tests first, linting and review checklists, so the codebase stays consistent as it grows.
  • CLAUDE.md and hooks: project instructions and automatic checks that run before code lands.
  • A walkthrough for you and your team on how to use the skills and how to write new ones.

How it works

  1. Call. We look at your product, your stack and how you use AI today.
  2. Review. I read the code you already have and pick the rules that matter most for you.
  3. Skills. I write and test the skills, CLAUDE.md and hooks inside your repository.
  4. Handover. I show you how to use them and how to extend them as the product grows.

Why me

  • At Travelware I set up the Claude Code skills, agents and hooks the whole team uses every day, covering architecture, infrastructure, frontend, testing and code review.
  • I have designed and built production systems for more than 10 years: 120 microservices at brumbrum, an event-driven serverless platform at Macai.
  • I specialize in AI for companies: MCP servers, Claude Code with skills, agents and automations, and RAG over company data.
  • I know what breaks when a startup grows, because I have been there from first commit to exit.

FAQ

What is a Claude Code skill?

A skill is a folder of instructions, and optionally scripts, that Claude Code loads when a task needs it. You teach the AI your rules once, instead of repeating them in every prompt.

Do I need skills if I am a solo founder?

That is when they help most. Nobody else reviews the code, so the rules have to live where the AI reads them on every change.

Do skills work with my stack?

Skills are plain text, so they are not tied to a language or framework. I write them for the stack you actually use.

Can you also fix the code I already have?

Yes. If the codebase already has problems, I start with a vibe coding cleanup and then add the skills that keep it clean.
