Thinkwise Software Factory skills library

This repository contains a collection of Claude Code skills for working with Thinkwise Software Factory models. Each skill is a reference guide or workflow that Claude loads automatically when a relevant task comes up — for example, creating a control procedure, setting up a cube, configuring a process flow, or reviewing a data model against Thinkwise naming conventions.

These skills are intended to be used together with an MCP connector that provides Software Factory access.

This repo is a Claude Code plugin marketplace (thinkwise) that ships one plugin, thinkwise-sf, containing all the skills. Each skill lives in its own folder under skills/ and contains a SKILL.md file describing what it does and when Claude should use it, plus any supporting reference material it needs.

From a terminal (PowerShell, bash) use the Claude CLI commands to add this plugin:

claude plugin marketplace add Thinkwise/software-factory-skills
claude plugin install thinkwise-sf@thinkwise

To pull in new or updated skills later:

claude plugin marketplace update thinkwise

To have everyone who works in a given project prompted to install the plugin, add this to that project's .claude/settings.json:

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "thinkwise": {
      "source": { "source": "github", "repo": "Thinkwise/software-factory-skills" }
    }
  },
  "enabledPlugins": {
    "thinkwise-sf@thinkwise": true
  }
}

You can also copy (or symlink) individual skill folders from skills/ into one of Claude Code's skill locations, keeping the folder name intact:

~/.claude/skills/thinkwise-sf-cubes/SKILL.md
~/.claude/skills/thinkwise-sf-tasks/SKILL.md
...

If you installed skills manually before, remove those copies once you install the plugin so you don't end up with duplicates.

For claude.ai, each skill is also available as a zip in zip files/ for upload.

Most of these skills are reference guides Claude invokes automatically based on their description when your request matches (e.g. asking it to create a cube, a process flow, or a control procedure). You generally don't need to invoke them by name — just describe what you want to do in your Software Factory model, and Claude will pull in the relevant skill before making changes.

When installed as a plugin, skills are namespaced if you invoke them explicitly, e.g. /thinkwise-sf:thinkwise-sf-cubes.

• Add a new skill as a new folder under skills/ with a SKILL.md.
• Bump version in .claude-plugin/plugin.json when you change or add skills, so installed users receive the update.
