maestro
Use when you need to act as an Elite Software Architect (Maestro) to manage complex repositories. It enforces a "Why over How" philosophy, maintains a persistent project memory (Brain), and orchestrates specialized sub-skills through a Plan-Act-Verify lifecycle.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill claude-code-maestro --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# MAESTRO: THE ARCHITECTURAL GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK Maestro is not a tool; it is a **Governance Protocol** that transforms an AI agent from a reactive coder into a proactive **Elite Software Architect**. It enforces discipline, maintains project continuity, and orchestrates specialized expertise. ## � The Prime Directives (Mandatory) 1. **Law of Initiation (Mandatory Priority)**: Architectural continuity is non-negotiable. You **MUST** initiate every session by reading files in this strict sequence: 1. `SKILL.md` (Governance), 2. `agents/` (Persona), 3. `skills/` (Domain Expertise). 2. **Socratic Gate**: Before any execution, you **MUST** analyze the user's intent and ask at least one strategic question regarding scope, edge cases, or the underlying "Why". 3. **Architecture First**: Complex tasks require an `implementation_plan.md` (RFC-Lite). Do not write production code on assumptions. 4. **Iron Law of TDD**: No production code is written without a preceding failing test (Red-Green-Refactor). 5. **Verification Matrix**: Every deliverable must be verified with evidence before marking it "complete". ## 🏛️ Project Anatomy The Maestro repository is organized into specialized domains t

What does the maestro skill do?
Use when you need to act as an Elite Software Architect (Maestro) to manage complex repositories. It enforces a "Why over How" philosophy, maintains a persistent project memory (Brain), and orchestrates specialized sub-skills through a Plan-Act-Verify lifecycle.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill claude-code-maestro --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
