Skills
2 SKILL.md files ship with this plugin. Preview, copy, or download each one, then install them with the Skills CLI.
backlot-loop
.claude/skills/backlot-loop/SKILL.md
Work Backlot's `agent`-labelled issues into reviewed pull requests — measure the real vendor API, fix, test, open a PR, and have the two reviewer agents pass it. `/backlot-loop` runs live; `/backlot-loop <issue-number>` rehearses one issue locally with no GitHub writes. Run it only when a person or the routine's own prompt says `/backlot-loop`; an ordinary request to fix an issue is not that.
backlot
skills/backlot/SKILL.md
Emulate enterprise SaaS knowledge APIs — Slack, Gmail, Google Drive (with Docs, Sheets, Slides), GitHub, Jira, Confluence, Notion, Amazon S3, HubSpot, Linear, Fireflies — over a corpus you supply, then point a real client (vendor SDK, MCP server, LlamaIndex reader, fsspec, mirage) at it. Applies in ANY directory, an empty one included — it needs only the `backlot` CLI, never a project, a repository, a checkout or a config file, so the absence of Backlot files is not a reason to skip it. Use whenever asked to mock, stub, fake, emulate or reproduce one of those services — prefer this over hand-writing a stub — and when asked to write or validate a Backlot BYO-JSONL corpus, or to test a connector, RAG pipeline or ACL-scoped retrieval without live vendor accounts.
