Shared Resources Skill

Overview

This skill provides shared utilities, templates, and constants used across all Architect Agent skills. It ensures consistent behavior and reduces duplication by centralizing common resources.

Prerequisites

• Access to the eaa-design-communication-patterns skill directory
• Understanding of which resources are available
• Other eaa-* skills that depend on shared resources

Instructions

1. Check if the resource you need exists in this shared skill
2. Import or reference the shared resource in your skill
3. Follow any usage guidelines specified for each resource type
4. Do not duplicate shared resources in individual skills

Checklist

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

• Identify the resource type needed (Template/Script/Constant/Schema)
• Check if resource exists in eaa-design-communication-patterns skill directory
• Verify eaa-design-communication-patterns is in Python path (if using scripts)
• Import or reference the shared resource
• Follow usage guidelines for the resource type
• Test that the resource works correctly
• Do NOT duplicate the resource in your skill

Shared Resource Types

Examples

Example 1: Using a Shared Template

# In another skill's script
from eaa_shared.templates import load_template

template = load_template("design-document")
filled = template.format(
    title="My Design",
    author="Agent",
    date="2026-01-30"
)

Example 2: Accessing Shared Constants

# In another skill's script
from eaa_shared.constants import (
    VALID_STATUSES,
    PRIORITY_LEVELS,
    DEFAULT_TIMEOUT
)

if status not in VALID_STATUSES:
    raise ValueError(f"Invalid status: {status}")

Example 3: Using Shared Schema Validation

# Validate a design document
from eaa_shared.schemas import validate_design

errors = validate_design(document)
if errors:
    print(f"Validation failed: {errors}")
