Ring

💍 The Ring - Skills Library for AI Agents

**Proven engineering practices, enforced through skills.**

Ring is a comprehensive skills library and workflow system for AI agents that transforms how AI assistants approach software development. Currently implemented as a **Claude Code plugin marketplace** with **6 active plugins** and **96 skills** (see `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` for current versions), the skills themselves are agent-agnostic and can be used with any AI agent system. Ring provides battle-tested patterns, mandatory workflows, and systematic approaches across the entire software delivery value chain.

✨ Why Ring?

Without Ring, AI assistants often:

• Skip tests and jump straight to implementation
• Make changes without understanding root causes
• Claim tasks are complete without verification
• Forget to check for existing solutions
• Repeat known mistakes

Ring solves this by:

• Enforcing proven workflows - Test-driven development, systematic debugging, proper planning
• Providing 96 specialized skills (24 core + 34 dev-team + 16 product planning + 7 FinOps regulatory + 6 technical writing + 9 PMO)
• 41 specialized agents - 10 review/planning + 15 developer + 4 product research + 3 FinOps regulatory + 3 technical writing + 6 PMO
• Automating skill discovery - Skills load automatically at session start
• Preventing common failures - Built-in anti-patterns and mandatory checklists

🧭 Project Identity

**Ring is Lerian-first, open-source-friendly.** Design decisions prioritize the Lerian engineering team's daily needs while keeping the architecture clean and reusable for external adoption. This means:

• Lerian-specific skills stay active — Brazilian regulatory compliance (finops-team), internal integrations, and domain-specific workflows remain in the marketplace because the team uses them
• **The architecture is unive
