Quick Start

These projects are Claude Skills — structured AI prompt systems that run inside Claude.ai. No coding required.

# 1. Clone any project
git clone https://github.com/dougdevitre/access-to-health.git
# or: access-to-education, access-to-safety, access-to-housing,
#     access-to-services, access-to-jobs, access-to-business

# 2. Open Claude.ai -> Create a Project -> Upload SKILL.md as project knowledge

# 3. Start a conversation — the skill guides you from there

Each skill's SKILL.md file teaches Claude a specialized workflow — from navigating healthcare benefits to matching job seekers with WIOA programs across all 114 Missouri counties.

Want to see it in action? A short video walkthrough is coming soon. Watch this space or subscribe for updates.

Who Is This For?

Working on justice, peace, civics, community, food, energy, care, or relocation? See the full Project Directory.

Example Scenarios

These are illustrative examples of how the tools are designed to be used. They are not reports from real users.

Workforce caseworker. A caseworker could use access-to-jobs to review a client's options across WIOA training, childcare assistance, and CDL programs in one conversation, then confirm eligibility with each program.

Curriculum director. A K-8 curriculum director could use access-to-education to draft a semester of science lessons aligned to Missouri Learning Standards, with differentiated activities for each grade level to review and adapt.

Domestic violence advocate. An advocate could use access-to-safety to prepare for a safety-planning conversation: local shelter contacts, protective order steps, and a technology safety checklist to go through with the client.

Each scenario follows the same pattern: clone the repo, upload SKILL.md to a Claude Project, and start a conversation. Claude brings structured domain guidance; you bring the context and professional judgment. When working with client information, use de-identified details: no names, addresses, or case numbers.

Used one of these tools in your work? Tell us what worked and what didn't. We publish a story only with your written permission, and we can attribute it by role alone. Please leave out anything that could identify a client.

Ecosystem Overview

access-to is the central hub that connects a family of purpose-built tools. Most child repositories are standalone Claude Skills; others are live apps, games, APIs, or frameworks. Every project below is listed in .github/config/repos.json.

Cross-Project Relationships

The child projects are independent but complementary. A person navigating one access gap often faces others simultaneously.

Data Flow Architecture

Each child project follows the same pattern: a SKILL.md file teaches Claude a specialized workflow. The hub site serves as the discovery layer.

FAQ

<details> <summary><strong>Do I need to know how to code?</strong></summary> <br> No. These are Claude Skills — structured prompts that run inside <a href="https://claude.ai">Claude.ai</a>. You clone a repo, upload the <code>SKILL.md</code> file to a Claude Project, and start a conversation. No programming required. </details>

<details> <summary><strong>What is a Claude Skill?</strong></summary> <br> A Claude Skill is a <code>SKILL.md</code> file that teaches Claude a specialized workflow. It acts as project knowledge inside a Claude Project, guiding Claude to follow domain-specific steps — like generating court-ready documents or navigating WIOA workforce programs. </details>

<details> <summary><strong>Does this cost anything?</strong></summary> <br> The public tools are free and open source (MIT or Apache 2.0; see each repo's LICENSE). You do need a <a href="https://claude.ai">Claude.ai</a> account (free or paid) to use the skills. A paid Claude Pro plan is recommended for longer conversations and higher usage limits. </details>

<details> <summary><strong>Which project should I start with?</strong></summary> <br> See the <a href="#who-is-this-for">Who Is This For?</a> section above. Pick the project that matches your role or the access gap you're trying to close. Each project is standalone — you don't need to use them all. </details>

<details> <summary><strong>Can I use these outside of Missouri?</strong></summary> <br> Some projects are Missouri-specific (access-to-education, access-to-jobs, mo-start) because they reference state standards, WIOA regions, or Missouri county data. Others (access-to-health, access-to-safety, access-to-housing, access-to-services) are designed for nationwide use. Check the Scope column in the <a href="#project-directory">Project Directory</a>. </details>

<details> <summary><strong>How do the projects relate to each other?</strong></summary> <br> They're independent but complementary. A person navigating one access gap often faces others — a domestic violence survivor may need safety planning, housing support, and healthcare navigation simultaneously. See the <a href="#cross-project-relationships">Cross-Project Relationships</a> diagram for how they interconnect. </details>
