Summary

This skill provides a collection of tools and plugins to enhance the Claude Code ecosystem, including code quality analysis, testing automation, productivity enhancements, and DevOps workflows.

It allows developers to install only the specific plugins they need, such as accessibility auditing, codebase auditing, or skill creation, directly from the marketplace.

Overview

Skills and hooks for Claude Code - code quality analysis, testing automation, productivity tools, and DevOps workflows

Quick Start

Install via Marketplace

bash

# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add cskiro/claudex

# Install individual plugins
/plugin install accessibility-audit@claudex
/plugin install codebase-auditor@claudex
/plugin install skill-creator@claudex
# ... or any other plugin

Each skill is its own plugin - install only what you need.

Repository Structure
