Florian BRUNIAUX 00cb973bdb docs: add Talk Preparation Pipeline workflow + skill templates
6-stage pipeline: raw material → conference talk → Kimi AI slides.

New files:
- guide/workflows/talk-pipeline.md — Full workflow guide (REX vs Concept
  modes, stage-by-stage breakdown, CHECKPOINT mechanics, Kimi handoff,
  real-world DevWithAI example, 5 design patterns documented)
- examples/skills/talk-pipeline/ — 7 SKILL.md files + orchestrator + 2
  templates (feedback-draft.md, kimi-prompt-template.md)

Updated:
- README.md — badges 164→172 templates, Feb 20 date, 13→14 skills
- guide/workflows/README.md — Talk Pipeline entry under Design & Content
- machine-readable/reference.yaml — 16 new entries for pipeline components
- CHANGELOG.md — [Unreleased] entry

Design patterns showcased: skill chaining + file-based state, tool
permission scoping (Bash only Stage 2), human-in-the-loop CHECKPOINT
(Stage 4), AI-to-AI handoff (Claude → Kimi), dual execution modes
(REX/Concept).

Claude Code Workflows

Step-by-step guides for common development patterns with Claude Code.


🔍 Search & Discovery

Search Tools Mastery NEW

Master the art of code search by combining rg, grepai, Serena & ast-grep

Learn when to use each tool, how to combine them for maximum efficiency, and real-world workflows including:

  • Exploring unknown codebases
  • Large-scale refactoring
  • Security audits
  • Framework migrations
  • Performance optimization

Key Topics:

  • Quick decision matrix
  • Complete feature comparison
  • 5 combined workflows
  • Performance benchmarks
  • Common pitfalls
  • Tool selection cheatsheet

🎯 Development Workflows

Plan-Driven Development

Structure complex tasks with planning mode before execution.

When to use: Multi-step features, architectural changes, uncertainty about approach

TDD with Claude

Test-Driven Development workflow: write tests first, implement after.

When to use: Critical functionality, regression prevention, API design

Spec-First Development

Write specifications before code for better requirements clarity.

When to use: Team collaboration, complex features, documentation-first projects

Iterative Refinement

Improve code through multiple refinement cycles.

When to use: Quality improvements, performance optimization, code cleanup

Skeleton Projects NEW

Use existing battle-tested repositories as scaffolding for new projects.

When to use: Starting new projects, standardizing team patterns, rapid prototyping from proven foundations

Team AI Instructions

Scale CLAUDE.md across a multi-developer, multi-tool team with profile-based module assembly.

When to use: Team 5+ devs, multiple AI tools (Claude Code + Cursor/Windsurf), mixed OS


🎨 Design & Content

Design to Code

Convert design mockups (Figma, wireframes) into working code.

When to use: Frontend development, UI implementation, design system work

PDF Generation

Generate professional PDFs using Quarto/Typst with Claude Code.

When to use: Reports, documentation, whitepapers, technical documents

Talk Preparation Pipeline NEW

6-stage skill pipeline: raw material → structured talk → AI-generated slides via Kimi.

When to use: Conference talks, meetup presentations, internal tech talks — from article, transcript, or notes

TTS Setup

Configure Text-to-Speech for Claude Code responses (Agent Vibes integration).

When to use: Audio feedback, accessibility, hands-free coding


🔬 Code Exploration

Exploration Workflow

Systematically explore and understand unfamiliar codebases.

When to use: New projects, legacy code, documentation gaps
