Spike: Investigate how downstream teams can consume ai-helpers skills without duplicating work #63

@patternfly-jira-sync

Description

@patternfly-jira-sync

Multiple teams (Firefly, UXD SDLC) are independently building skill libraries across separate repos. ai-helpers should be the shared foundation they build on top of — reviewed, maintained, and distributable through a governed contribution process.

Two-tier model already exists:

  • patternfly/ai-helpers (GitHub) — public PF skills
  • uxd/ai-helpers (GitLab) — UXD superset layered on top

No install/update mechanism exists today for downstream repos to consume ai-helpers skills automatically. This spike investigates what's technically possible and recommends an integration path.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Research how Claude Code plugins/marketplaces are consumed by downstream repos today (marketplace config, symlinks, git submodules, etc.)
  • Identify viable integration paths and trade-offs of each
  • Define what belongs in ai-helpers (shared foundation) vs what stays team-specific
  • Validate the two-tier GitHub/GitLab model supports distribution without sync conflicts or internal content leaks
  • Recommend an integration path — implementation is a separate issue
