Wtf does this do

This repository provides a set of custom skills for Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, focused on NATS JetStream, a messaging system that lets different parts of a software application send and receive data reliably in real time. The project is split into three skills you can install into your Claude-powered project. The first, "jetstream-architecture," helps Claude guide you through designing how messages flow in your system, things like who sends what, how messages are stored, and how different parts of your app receive and process them. The second, "jetstream-deployment," covers setting up the actual NATS JetStream infrastructure, whether on a single machine, a cluster of servers, or inside a Kubernetes environment (a system for running containerized apps at scale). It also addresses security settings like encrypted connections and user authentication. The third, "jetstream-operations," helps Claude assist with day-to-day maintenance: diagnosing delivery problems, tuning performance, and setting up monitoring dashboards. To use these skills, you copy the provided folders into your project's ".claude/skills/" directory. Once installed, Claude gains detailed knowledge of JetStream patterns and can give you context-aware help specific to your setup. The code examples in the skills are written in Go, JavaScript, and Python.
