This page used to describe a folder-loading model: orient, pick a task file from
tasks/, load the relevant markdown, generate, validate against a checklist. That
model predates the skills. It asked a person to do the routing, and it asked an
agent to read documentation that has since been superseded by sources that cannot
drift.
Today the routing is automatic. The Helix Claude Code plugin ships twelve skills and an MCP server; Claude loads the skill whose description matches the task, and the skill states the rule and points at the next one. Component facts — variants, props, required ARIA attributes, token bindings — come from the MCP server, computed from metadata, so there is nothing to keep in sync by reading.
Install it, then work normally: Working with agents.
The five task playbooks that lived in tasks/ (create a component, review UI,
prototype, migrate, document) were retired on 2026-09-14. Each is owned by a skill
now — helix-component-usage and helix-compound-components for building,
helix-ux for review, helix-patterns for composition, helix-setup for adoption.
They remain in this repository's git history.
