Show HN: Skills – Making AI coding tools aware of government standards (anneschuth.nl)

A new system called "Skills" has been introduced for Claude Code, enabling AI coding tools to be aware of Dutch government standards in real-time. Traditionally, developers often overlook the existence of these standards, resulting in non-compliance during API development. Skills address this issue by allowing developers to install knowledge files, or "skills," that inform Claude about specific regulatory guidelines such as API Design Rules and OAuth NL. When a developer activates a skill related to their task, Claude can automatically apply the relevant standards without requiring the developer to manually reference documentation. This development is particularly significant for the AI/ML community as it empowers coding tools to embed crucial regulatory knowledge directly into the development workflow, improving compliance and efficiency. The Skills system features a plugin marketplace for sharing and implementing various standards, making it easier for developers to access and utilize these guidelines. Furthermore, Skills adhere to an open standard, ensuring compatibility across multiple platforms like Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot and OpenAI’s Codex, which may encourage broader adoption and cooperation in the tech community.
