## 🧬 What Is This?

A collection of **72 autonomous Claude AI skills** for communication students — covering six departments across the entire Faculty of Communication curriculum.

Each skill transforms Claude into an **agentic domain expert** that researches the web, reads your project files, creates production-ready deliverables, self-reviews its own output, and iterates — not just advises.

> [!TIP]
> **How it works:** Each skill is a structured `.md` prompt file. Drop it into a Claude Project or Claude Code, and Claude instantly becomes your creative production expert — with real industry frameworks, professional output templates, and deep domain knowledge.
>
> <br>

## 🔬 How Skills Work

Each skill is a structured prompt in Markdown format. When loaded into a Claude Project or used with Claude Code CLI, it transforms Claude into an **autonomous agent** with:

| | Feature | Details |
|:---:|:---|:---|
| 🤖 | **Agentic Execution** | Skills research, create files, and iterate autonomously |
| 🏗️ | **Industry Frameworks** | Real methodologies — ROSTIR, PESO, RACE, AIDA, Barcelona Principles |
| 📄 | **File-Based Deliverables** | Production-ready outputs written directly to your project |
| 🔄 | **Self-Review Loops** | Agents assess their own work before presenting it |
| 🌐 | **Research-Driven Workflow** | Web search for current data before every deliverable |
| 🎨 | **Craft Principles** | Opinionated expert knowledge, not generic advice |

> [!NOTE]
> **Agentic Workflow:** Every skill follows this autonomous cycle — **Research** (search web for current data) → **Context** (read existing project files) → **Create** (write structured deliverable) → **Review** (assess quality & completeness) → **Present** (summarize + offer 3 next paths).
