What's Included

• Skills: Specialized agent capabilities for specific domains (e.g., stripe-implementer, nestjs-expert)
• Commands: Workflow commands for structured tasks (e.g., code-review, deploy, mvp-plan)
• Scripts: Validation, generation, and migration tooling

Installation

Quick Install (Recommended)

# Install all skills globally for Claude Code and Codex
npx skills add shipshitdev/skills -g --agent claude-code codex --skill '*' -y

# Install specific skills
npx skills add shipshitdev/skills -g --skill stripe-implementer -y

# List available skills
npx skills add shipshitdev/skills --list

Do NOT use --all — it installs to every agent the CLI knows about (30+).
Always use --agent to target only the agents you use.

Project-local Install

npx skills add shipshitdev/skills --agent claude-code codex

Claude Code Plugin (Alternative)

/plugin marketplace add shipshitdev/skills
/plugin install shipshitdev-startup@shipshitdev    # or any category bundle

How Skills Adapt to Projects

Skills are adaptive - they scan project documentation to understand:

• Project architecture and structure
• Brand voice and tone
• Existing patterns and conventions
• Terminology and style

If a project has its own skill, the generic skill will collaborate with or defer to it.

Publishing & CI/CD

When you push to master, GitHub Actions automatically regenerates the bundles/ directory to keep marketplace plugins in sync with skills.
