61 deterministic skills enabling Claude AI to generate flawless Frappe/ERPNext code.
Covers ~95% of the Frappe Framework surface area across 7 categories.
Built on the Agent Skills open standard.

## π― Why This Exists
Claude is powerful, but without domain-specific guidance it generates Frappe/ERPNext code that *looks* correct but **fails in production**.
**The #1 cause of AI-generated Frappe failures:**
```python
# β WRONG - This fails silently in Server Scripts
from frappe.utils import nowdate
today = nowdate()
# β
CORRECT - Server Scripts block all imports
today = frappe.utils.nowdate()
```
This package encodes **61 hard-won lessons** like this into deterministic skills that Claude follows automatically.
