# Shared Patterns

Reusable patterns and templates for skill and hook development.

## Purpose

This skill provides shared patterns that are referenced by other skills in the abstract plugin. It follows DRY principles by centralizing common patterns.

## Pattern Categories

### Validation Patterns

See [modules/validation-patterns.md](modules/validation-patterns.md) for:
- Input validation templates
- Schema validation patterns
- Error reporting formats

### Error Handling

See [modules/error-handling.md](modules/error-handling.md) for:
- Exception hierarchies
- Error message formatting
- Recovery strategies

### Testing Templates

See [modules/testing-templates.md](modules/testing-templates.md) for:
- Unit test scaffolding
- Integration test patterns
- Mock fixtures

### Workflow Patterns

See [modules/workflow-patterns.md](modules/workflow-patterns.md) for:
- Checklist templates
- Feedback loop patterns
- Progressive disclosure structures

## Usage

Reference these patterns from other skills:

```markdown
For validation patterns, see the `shared-patterns` skill's
[validation-patterns](../shared-patterns/modules/validation-patterns.md) module.
```
**Verification:** Run the command with `--help` flag to verify availability.
## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Command not found**
Ensure all dependencies are installed and in PATH

**Permission errors**
Check file permissions and run with appropriate privileges

**Unexpected behavior**
Enable verbose logging with `--verbose` flag

Workflow & Productivity

Meeting Prep

3891
from openclaw/skills

Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.

Use when: (1) A command or operation fails unexpectedly, (2) User corrects Claude ('No, that's wrong...', 'Actually...'), (3) User requests a capability that doesn't exist, (4) An external API or tool fails, (5) Claude realizes its knowledge is outdated or incorrect, (6) A better approach is discovered for a recurring task. Also review learnings before major tasks.
