stripe-best-practices

Guides Stripe integration decisions across API selection (Checkout Sessions vs PaymentIntents), Connect platform setup (Accounts v2, controller properties), billing/subscriptions, tax and registrations (Stripe Tax, automatic_tax, product tax codes), Treasury financial accounts, integration options (Checkout, Payment Element), migrating from deprecated Stripe APIs, and security best practices (API key management, restricted keys, webhooks, OAuth). Use when building, modifying, or reviewing any Stripe integration, including accepting payments, building marketplaces, integrating Stripe, processing payments, setting up subscriptions, collecting sales tax, VAT, or GST, creating connected accounts, or implementing secure key handling.

Quality

Content

86%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-organized, concise SKILL.md that routes to real reference files and surfaces critical guardrails with validation-style preconditions. Minor gaps in inline executable code and explicit numbered workflows keep it just short of perfect on actionability and workflow clarity.

Suggestions

Add one or two short inline code snippets for the most common integration (e.g., a minimal Checkout Session create call) so the body is copy-paste ready without always opening a reference.

Consider adding an explicit numbered workflow (e.g., 1. route 2. read reference 3. implement 4. validate) to make the multi-step process for any Stripe integration more concrete.

Surface a brief "before you write code" checklist so the conditional rules aggregate into a single verifiable validation step.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean routing table and critical-rules list with no padding; assumes Claude's competence and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows; every section earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete commands and exact API paths ("stripe sandbox create", "/v2/core/accounts", "integration_identifier") but most executable code lives in the reference files rather than inline in the body, leaving minor gaps.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Conditional critical rules act as validation checkpoints ("Before enabling automatic_tax… read the tax reference and confirm the user has an active registration"), but there is no explicit numbered multi-step workflow with feedback loops.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Clear overview with a well-signaled routing table pointing to one-level-deep <references/*.md> files, all of which exist; content appropriately split for easy navigation.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific, third-person description that comprehensively covers Stripe integration domains with natural trigger terms and an explicit Use-when clause. No vague fluff or over-claims.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete domains and actions ("API selection (Checkout Sessions vs PaymentIntents)", "Connect platform setup (Accounts v2, controller properties)", "billing/subscriptions", "tax and registrations", "Treasury financial accounts", "migrating from deprecated Stripe APIs", "security best practices"), giving comprehensive coverage.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers what ("Guides Stripe integration decisions across…") and when ("Use when building, modifying, or reviewing any Stripe integration, including…") with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural terms including synonyms: "accepting payments, building marketplaces, integrating Stripe, processing payments, setting up subscriptions, collecting sales tax, VAT, or GST, creating connected accounts, or implementing secure key handling" — exactly what a user would say.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clearly Stripe-specific niche with distinct triggers (Stripe Tax, Connect, Treasury, RAKs); minimal conflict risk with other skills.
