Tools that make the safe path the easy path: skills that teach your AI how Notre Dame builds software, and vetted third-party resources for going further.

ND Skills

Skills are machine-readable conventions your AI tooling loads as context — so the AI starts from Notre Dame's standards instead of generic ones, and you stop re-explaining the same conventions in every chat. Reference them from your CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md and they're simply part of how your AI works. (How to install skills)
