Claude Code Commands & Skills

The command library behind CogniSwitch's website — a ~50-page Next.js site run by one person with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, a headless CMS (Prismic), and about $20/month in tooling. No designer, agency, or page builder.

Each command covers one stage of the same pipeline a marketing team runs — brief, review, build, QA, ship. Work that would normally need a strategist, designer, QA lead, or DevOps engineer runs as a named, repeatable step instead.

Background on the approach: AI Boomi workshop, March 2026.

How it's organized

Three ideas shape the commands:

1. Describe intent instead of hand-writing prompts. Say what you want; the command builds the structured prompt and you refine it. (/prompt, /idea, /content)
2. One command per stage. Chain them rather than asking for everything in a single shot. (/dev → /review-local → /deploy)
3. Explicit handoffs. Each transition records what was done, what to check, and what comes next. (/end-session, /review-handoff, /sandbox)

The pipeline

The stages map onto a standard marketing workflow:

Stage	Marketing Team (2020)	Solo + AI (2026)
Concept	Concept note	/content, /idea
Design	Designer (2-3 versions)	/sandbox (strict / wild)
Review	PMM reviews	/review-handoff
Build	Engineer builds	/dev
QA	QA checks	/review-local
Ship	Deploy	/deploy

Using These

Copy individual commands or skills into your project's .claude/ folder:

# A command
cp commands/deploy.md your-project/.claude/commands/deploy.md

# A skill
cp -r skills/copyreview/ your-project/.claude/skills/copyreview/

Most of these are CogniSwitch-specific (Prismic, our design system, our editorial pipeline). Yours will look different. What transfers is the approach: document your process, give each stage a name, and let the AI execute the parts you've already figured out.
