What You'll Build

By the end of this workshop you will have:

  • A CLAUDE.md with project-specific instructions
  • Playwright and Jira MCP servers connected
  • A custom /implement-ticket skill that reads a Jira ticket and automates implementation
  • Experience with bundled skills (/simplify, /batch) for code cleanup and parallel refactoring
  • A /dev-workflow orchestrator skill that chains /create-ticket, /expand-ticket, /implement-ticket, and /qa-ticket into a full dev lifecycle pipeline
