About automotive-skills-suite

A curated set of 152 installable Claude skills (76 builder + 76 confirmation reviewer pairs) that automate structured xlsx deliverables across the automotive engineering lifecycle. Covers ISO 26262 functional safety, ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity, ISO 21448 SOTIF for ADAS/AV, AIAG-VDA quality (APQP, DFMEA, PFMEA, Control Plan, PPAP), Automotive SPICE, communication protocols (DBC, LDF, ARXML, FlexRay, Automotive Ethernet, K-Matrix), diagnostics (UDS, DTC catalog, CDD, ODX, DEM), AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive, calibration (A2L, DCM, cross-supplier exchange), MBSE with ARCADIA, SysML diagrams, V&V plans, chain-integrated program management, and continuous improvement (8D, 5-Why, fishbone, MSA Gauge R&R, SPC). Each skill is an installable .skill file for Cowork/Claude Desktop; every artifact-producing skill has a matching reviewer that outputs a visual dashboard with KPI tiles, charts, and findings tables. The chain ensures downstream skills consume upstream xlsx outputs as stable file contracts.

Key Features

Every artifact-producing skill paired with a confirmation reviewer

Reviewer outputs include visual dashboard with KPI tiles, charts, and findings tables

Chain-integrated: downstream skills consume upstream xlsx outputs as stable file contracts

Quickstart: download skill, save in Claude Desktop, trigger by phrase

Includes program management (risk register, gate review, WP roll-up) and continuous improvement (8D, 5-Why, fishbone, MSA, SPC)

Pros & Cons

Pros

Comprehensive coverage of automotive engineering standards and domains
Builder and reviewer pairs ensure quality and cross-checking of deliverables
Chain design enforces traceability between upstream and downstream artifacts
Open source and free to use; no licensing costs
Skills are modular and installable individually or as a bundle
Produces standard xlsx deliverables, compatible with existing workflows

Cons

Requires Claude Desktop (Cowork) to install and run the .skill files
May require familiarity with Claude skill installation and trigger phrasing
Chain dependency means missing an upstream skill could break downstream execution
Documentation is primarily on GitHub; no dedicated user guide or support channel

FAQ

What is the Automotive Engineering Suite?

A collection of 152 installable Claude skills (76 builder + 76 reviewer) that automate structured xlsx deliverables for automotive safety, cybersecurity, quality, communication, diagnostics, AUTOSAR, calibration, MBSE, SysML, V&V, program management, and continuous improvement.

How do I install and use a skill?

Download the .skill file from the skills/ directory or the full bundle from Releases. In Claude Desktop / Cowork, click 'Save skill' and select the file. Then trigger the skill by phrasing a request matching the skill's triggering description (e.g., 'Build a HARA for a new ECU project — Electronic Stability Control').

What is the 'chain' concept?

The chain refers to the sequence of skills where each downstream skill consumes the upstream skill's xlsx output as a stable file-format contract. This ensures traceability and consistency across the engineering lifecycle.

What standards are covered?

ISO 26262 functional safety, ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity, ISO 21448 SOTIF, AIAG-VDA quality (APQP/PPAP/FMEA), Automotive SPICE, AUTOSAR, and others.

Is this tool free?

Yes, it is an open-source repository on GitHub released under a license (MIT). There is no cost to download or use the skills.
