Claude Code Skills

Five skills in .claude/skills/ give Claude deep context about Liquid, accessibility, coding standards, and Kona's architecture. Invoke them with slash commands in any Claude Code session running inside the project.

Universal skills have no Kona-specific paths. Project skills reference Kona's directory structure, Tailwind setup, and island architecture.

How to use

Slash commands

Type the slash command at the Claude Code prompt:

> /shopify-liquid-kona-new section newsletter-signup

Implicit activation

Skills also activate automatically based on context. Ask Claude to write Liquid, fix accessibility issues, or manage translations — the relevant skill loads without an explicit command.

Chaining skills

Skills compose together. For example, creating a new section might use:

  1. /shopify-liquid-kona-new — scaffold the component
  2. /shopify-liquid — reference for schema settings and filters
  3. /shopify-liquid-a11y — accessible markup patterns
  4. /shopify-liquid-translator — generate translations for new keys

Skill files

Each skill directory contains:

  • skill.json — metadata (name, description)
  • SKILL.md — the full prompt content Claude receives
