Verticals — read the one that applies
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.
| Product is for… | Read |
|---|---|
| HVAC, plumbing, cleaning, landscaping — dispatch, quoting, booking | home-services.md |
| Agencies, consulting, creative — proposals, portals, time + invoicing | professional-services.md |
| Restaurants, cafés — ordering, reservations, loyalty, shifts | restaurants.md |
| SMB storefronts — catalog, inventory, pricing, cart recovery | retail.md |
| Residential real estate — listings, lead CRM, transactions, property management | real-estate.md |
| Studios, gyms, coaches — class booking, membership, content | fitness.md |
| Creators, marketing — scheduling, analytics, monetization, sponsorships | creator.md |
| HR, recruiting — ATS, onboarding, scheduling, surveys | hr-recruiting.md |
| Contractors, field crews — bids, project logs, subcontractors | construction.md |
| Shipping, warehouse-lite, routes, purchase orders | logistics.md |
| An app that holds a balance or moves money on a phone (orthogonal to the rows above) | fintech-mobile.md |
| Public pages that must be found in local or product search | local-seo.md |
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.
