How do Claude Code skills encode Drupal expertise?

Direct answer

A skill is a versioned instruction module that Claude Code loads at runtime — coding standards, review protocols, accessibility checklists written down once and applied the same way on every project. Zivtech maintains a library of 80+ skills; the installed working set as of June 2026 is 101 modules.

The library breaks down to 36 reviewers (critics), 33 planners, 13 executors, 4 writers and builders, and 15 other specialists. The ratio is the point: reviewers outnumber executors almost three to one, because review is the governing layer of AI-assisted delivery, not an afterthought.

Bar chart: 101 installed Claude Code skill modules on 2026-06-10 — 36 reviewers, 33 planners, 13 executors, 4 writers and builders, 15 other specialists.
The skill library by role, counted 2026-06-10.

The skill library itself is private today. The platform core that loads and governs skills is public, so the mechanism is inspectable even where the library is not.

What is evidence-based discovery for a Drupal site?

Direct answer

Evidence-based discovery replaces assumption-driven scoping by testing the actual system before writing recommendations: every editorial form exercised, the support history read, the codebase audited — so the proposal cites observed evidence instead of pattern-matching from past projects.

On a recent research-institution engagement, that meant browser-testing all 17 editorial forms on the live site, reading six years of support history, and auditing the existing Drupal codebase before a single recommendation was written. The resulting proposal ran 12,000 words, and every recommendation traced back to something observed: a form that broke, a ticket pattern, a dependency blocking the upgrade path.

AI agents make this economically possible — they do the comprehensive, tedious part while senior people spend their hours on judgment. Joyus Recon packages the same approach: architecture discovery from a single public URL up through full codebase access.

Can AI review Drupal code automatically?

Direct answer

Yes. The working pattern: Claude Code runs on every pull request via GitHub Actions, the diff is filtered to custom code only, findings are scored by severity, and results post as PR comments before any human review starts.

What makes this more than a linter is the skill layer. Skills encode Drupal coding standards, security checks, and accessibility requirements as versioned instruction modules, so the reviewer applies the same architectural judgment on every change — the things generic static analysis misses entirely.

This is not a thought experiment: the pattern runs today in continuous integration on a long-running Drupal 10 + React digital library that Zivtech maintains, with senior engineers making the final call on every finding.
