What Would Carsten Do — Communication skill for Claude Code

YouTube Knowledge Base, Carsten Lützen Edition

A Claude skill that turns Carsten Lützen's YouTube channel into a queryable knowledge base of facilitation, retrospective, and agile coaching techniques. 375 videos, each distilled into a structured knowledge card with methods, steps, facilitator tips, and links back to the source video.

What this is

Carsten Lützen has published a huge library of short videos on how to run retrospectives, design workshops, facilitate meetings, and coach teams. This skill lets Claude consult that library on your behalf. When you ask about workshop design, a stuck retro, psychological safety, or similar topics, Claude silently checks the knowledge base and weaves relevant techniques into its answer, with links to the original videos so you can dive deeper.

The bundle contains:

• SKILL.md, the skill definition Claude reads
• index_compact.tsv, a lightweight tab-separated catalog (~90 KB)
• index.json, the full catalog with one-liners and tags
• videos/carsten-lutzen/, one knowledge card per video (375 cards)
• processing/, the pipeline used to build the cards, see "Extending"
