The skills and prompts working at Planes right now
A shared catalogue of what we've found to work in Claude for product, built and maintained by everyone at Planes. We've left the doors to The Hangar purposely unlocked, browse and steal to your heart's content.
Problem statement sharpener
Turn a vague problem description into a sharp, well-scoped statement with user context, root cause, and a measurable success signal.

Includes the build workflow and PDF export.
