What it does
Methodology Curator is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Surface expert frameworks. Use when creating or evaluating skills, hooks, or agents.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `modules/code-review.md`, `modules/debugging.md` and `modules/decision-making.md`).
It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Evaluating skills
Example prompts
- “/methodology-curator”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Grounded TDD scenarios: Test against the methodology's expected behaviors
- Principled anti-rationalization: Counter excuses using the methodology's logic
- Authoritative references: Cite masters in skill documentation
- Consistent terminology: Use the methodology's vocabulary
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Methodology Curator loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 578 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Methodology Curator
Overview
Identifying the best way to approach a domain is often more difficult than the technical scaffolding itself. This skill surfaces frameworks from domain masters to prevent reinventing established processes and identify methodology gaps in existing work. It should be used as a brief initial check before brainstorming or evaluation begins.
Workflow Integration
When starting new work, score every domain below by how many of its terms the task uses and load the top two modules, not the first that fits. Mapping free text onto a category runs about three candidates per correct one (TRIZ-GPT, arXiv 2408.05897, measured on contradiction parameters), so a single pick is wrong often enough that the second module is worth its tokens. Say which two were loaded and why the others were not. Select principles that fit your context and document them in a methodology brief before proceeding to creation.
For existing work, determine what the skill or hook is trying to teach and compare it against established frameworks. This gap analysis identifies opportunities to add missing principles or align terminology with recognized standards. Surgically add methodology rather than rewriting from scratch to maintain authority and effectiveness.
Domain Modules
Each module in the modules/ directory provides a curated list of masters, key works, and actionable frameworks. These resources include selection guides and anti-patterns to avoid for each domain.
- Instruction Design:
modules/instruction-design.md- Teaching techniques and behavioral objectives. - Code Review:
modules/code-review.md- Review methodologies and feedback patterns. - Debugging:
modules/debugging.md- Systematic troubleshooting frameworks. - Testing:
modules/testing.md- TDD masters and test design patterns. - Knowledge Management:
modules/knowledge-management.md- Note-taking and knowledge systems. - Decision Making:
modules/decision-making.md- Mental models and decision frameworks.
When to Skip
Skip for Creation when:
- You're implementing a well-defined spec
- The domain is highly specific to your codebase
- You've already researched methodologies externally
- Creating a simple utility with no pedagogical component
Skip for Evaluation when:
- Fixing syntax/structural issues (use
/validate-plugininstead) - The work is purely mechanical (no methodology to ground)
- Already performed a recent methodology audit
- Quick bug fixes that don't change the approach
When NOT To Use
- Scoring a finished skill (use
abstract:skills-eval) - The mechanics of writing one (use
abstract:skill-authoring)

Domain Modules
Each module contains:
- Masters: Recognized experts in the domain
- Key Works: Essential books/papers/talks
- Frameworks: Actionable methodologies
- Selection Guide: When to use each approach
- Anti-patterns: What to avoid
Adding New Domains
To expand the masters database, create a new module following this template:
# [Domain Name] Masters
## Masters Overview
| Expert | Key Contribution | Best For |
|--------|-----------------|----------|
| Name | Framework/Book | Context |
## Detailed Frameworks
### [Framework 1]
**Source**: [Expert] - [Work]
**Core Idea**: [One sentence]
**Key Principles**:
- Principle 1
- Principle 2
**Use When**: [Context]
**Avoid When**: [Anti-context]
## Selection Matrix
[Decision guide for choosing between frameworks]Integration with Skill Authoring
After curating methodologies, the skill authoring workflow benefits from:
- Grounded TDD scenarios: Test against the methodology's expected behaviors
- Principled anti-rationalization: Counter excuses using the methodology's logic
- Authoritative references: Cite masters in skill documentation
- Consistent terminology: Use the methodology's vocabulary

For Creation
/create-skill- Skill creation workflow (use after this)/create-hook- Hook creation workflowsuperpowers:brainstorming- Refine approach after methodology selectionskill-authoring- Detailed skill writing guidance
For Evaluation
/skills-eval- Evaluate skill quality (complements methodology audit)/analyze-skill- Analyze skill complexitypensive:code-reviewer- Code review (uses code-review domain)
Exit Criteria
- The domain is identified by name (e.g., "Instruction Design", "Debugging") and at least one
module from
modules/is loaded and consulted. - A methodology brief is produced naming at least one expert, their key framework, and a "Use When / Avoid When" statement applicable to the current work.
- If the task falls under a "Skip" condition (well-defined spec, purely mechanical fix), the skip is stated explicitly rather than silently omitted.
- Any framework selected references one of the documented modules
(
instruction-design.md,code-review.md,debugging.md,testing.md,knowledge-management.md, ordecision-making.md) rather than an invented source.
