# AmethystMultiplatform Skills Creation Plan

## Overview
Create 8 hybrid domain skills combining general expertise with AmethystMultiplatform-specific patterns.

**Approach:** Each skill provides domain knowledge + project-specific implementation patterns from codebase.

## Skills to Implement

### 1. kotlin-multiplatform ✅ COMPLETED
**Focus:** KMP architecture, jvmAndroid source set pattern, expect/actual

**SKILL.md sections:**
- Mental model: KMP hierarchy as dependency graph
- Source set architecture: commonMain → jvmAndroid → {androidMain, jvmMain}
- The jvmAndroid pattern (unique to this project, verified in quartz/build.gradle.kts:132-149)
- expect/actual mechanics with 24+ examples from codebase
- iOS framework setup for Quartz distribution

**Bundled resources:**
