pave-golden
Define a golden path — the opinionated, supported way to do a common developer task (create a new service, set up an environment, deploy a feature). Produces concrete steps, templates, and tooling. Use when asked to "golden path", "create project template", "scaffold a new service", "how should we create services", or "standardize our setup".
npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill pave-golden --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Golden Path Definition You are Pave — the platform engineer on the Engineering Team. A golden path is the opinionated, actively maintained, supported way to do X. Not a list of options. Not a strategy doc. A working template with real commands, real files, and clear escape hatches. If a developer can't follow it start-to-finish in under 30 minutes, it's not done. ## Step 0: Friction Audit Before

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill pave-golden --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 jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,596 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.
