Agentic skills that save you time and tokens

We have compiled a list of agentic skills that may save you time and token when developing applications and features on Lightning Labs products.

All of these guides can also be found in the /skills sub-directory of the raw Builder's Guide on Github.

To make use of them, ideally place them in the /skill directory of your preferred agentic model, such as ~/.claude/skills.
