Verticals — read the one that applies

SkillFiles & storage

Domain knowledge for SMB industry products, the vocabulary, the entities a spec must model, the incumbent to route around, and what a naive build gets wrong, one file per industry, plus local SEO and money-on-a-phone. Read the one file that applies before speccing or building the product.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the Verticals skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by avelikiy/great_cto in skills/verticals/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Each file below is the domain brief for one kind of product. They are references, not separate skills: one line in every session's skill list instead of twelve paragraphs, and the full text only when a product needs it.

How to read it

From a great_cto checkout the files sit next to this one (skills/verticals/<file>). From an installed plugin, resolve the newest cached version:

# <file> is the row that applies, e.g. retail
cat "$(ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/great_cto/*/skills/verticals/<file>.md 2>/dev/null | awk -F'/plugins/cache/' '{split($NF,p,"/"); print p[3], $0}' | sort -V | tail -1 | cut -d' ' -f2-)"

Apply what it says to the spec: its vocabulary in the names, its must-model entities in the data model, its "what a naive build gets wrong" list as review items. If no row fits, read nothing — a near-miss vertical imports the wrong rules.
