Solanasis Claude Skills Acquisition Plan

Date: March 15, 2026 (updated) Purpose: Evaluate and prioritize Claude Code skills/plugins for Cowork — mapped to Solanasis operations and client delivery Status: REVIEWED & READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION Reviews completed: 4 senior reviewer passes + built-in vs third-party overlap analysis

Overlap Analysis Summary (Senior Reviewer Verified)

Already installed plugins (legal, productivity, brand-voice, cowork-plugin-management, core skills) do NOT conflict with any planned marketplace installs. All complement each other.

Skills to SKIP:

  • ❌ Security Auditor Skill — Redundant with Operations compliance-tracking
  • ❌ SEO Machine — Overlaps with Universal SEO at core; defer unless publishing pipeline needed

Everything else: APPROVED for installation. No unnecessary third-party skills found. All serve either a different layer (strategy vs execution) or a unique capability not covered by built-in plugins.

How This Document Works

  • Checkbox = Want to pull in — Check the ones we decide to install
  • Priority Ratings: P1 (install first), P2 (install soon), P3 (nice to have)
  • Verified: Each marketplace skill has been read in full to confirm actual capabilities
  • GitHub repos: Verified for maintenance status, stars, license, and actual content
  • Sources for each skill are listed so we can verify before installing

Context Window & Performance Considerations

Before we go crazy installing everything, here’s how skills affect performance:

  • Skill descriptions (the trigger text) load at session start — consumes ~2% of context window
  • Full skill content only loads when invoked — no cost until used
  • At 128K context, ~2,560 characters are budgeted for skill descriptions
  • Practical limit: 10-15 actively model-invocable skills before you start seeing “Excluded skills” warnings
  • Mitigation: Set disable-model-invocation: true for manual-only skills to save context budget
  • Cowork plugins are automatically available once installed — their skills appear in the skill menu

Pro tip: This means we should be strategic, not greedy. Install what we’ll use weekly, not “just in case” skills.

Phase 1: Core Operations & Growth Engine (Week 1)

#WhatTypeWhy First
1Operations plugin (all 6 skills)MarketplaceDirect service delivery — this IS Solanasis
2Sales plugin (all 6 skills)MarketplaceGrowth hacking engine — revenue depends on this
3Engineering: documentation + incident-responseMarketplaceClient delivery essentials

Context budget impact: ~12 skills × ~200 chars each = ~2,400 chars. Under budget.

Cross-reference: The Master Setup Plan (solanasis-cowork-master-setup-plan.md) expanded Phase 1 to 20 skills across 6 plugins (adding Marketing, Customer Support, Engineering, Data). The master plan uses Model Invocation Mapping (8 manual-only, 12 auto-invoke) to manage context budget. Follow the master setup plan for the definitive Phase 1 scope.

Phase 2: Growth Marketing & Content (Week 2)

#WhatTypeWhy

Pro Tips

  1. Marketplace plugins first — Zero friction, already downloaded, professional quality (Anthropic-built)
  2. Don’t install everything at once — Context window has real limits (~15 model-invocable skills max before degradation)
  3. Set disable-model-invocation: true on skills you’ll only invoke manually — saves context budget
  4. Custom skills > generic skills — A Solanasis security assessment skill will outperform a generic one every time. Build these in Phase 4.
  5. Skills are composable — Chain account-research + call-prep + draft-outreach as one prospecting workflow
  6. The skill description is everything — It determines auto-invocation. Bad descriptions = skills that never fire or fire wrong
  7. Test before trusting — Run each new skill through a real workflow before client delivery
  8. Wyre Technology MSP MCP could be the highest-ROI investment — direct PSA/RMM integration. Dedicate a session to evaluate.
  9. The data-context-extractor meta-skill is brilliant — for each client engagement, build a skill that understands THEIR specific data warehouse
  10. Keep this document updated — Check off skills as they’re installed, add notes on what works and what doesn’t
