What are Claude Code Skills?

Claude Code Skills are reusable prompt templates stored as markdown files in your project's .claude/skills/ directory. They let you codify best practices and common workflows into slash commands that Claude follows consistently.

How do I create a Claude Code Skill?

Create a markdown file in .claude/skills/ with instructions for Claude. The filename becomes the command name — for example, .claude/skills/code-review.md can be invoked with /code-review during a Claude Code session.

Can I share skills with my team?

Yes. Skills stored in .claude/skills/ can be committed to version control so every team member has access to the same standardized workflows. You can also organize skills into subdirectories by category.

What is the difference between project and global skills?

Project skills (.claude/skills/) are specific to the current project and are committed to git. Global skills (~/.claude/skills/) are personal skills available across all your projects.

Overview

My personal plugin marketplace for Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding assistant.

Overview

This repository provides plugins for Claude Code, organized as a plugin marketplace. Plugins extend Claude Code with language conventions, workflow automation, service integrations, and custom behaviors.

It also contains my user configuration.

Prerequisites

Many plugins include TypeScript hooks and scripts that require Bun to run. See Bun's installation guide for setup instructions. Bun runs TypeScript natively and auto-installs missing dependencies on first run.

Plugins

Browse the `plugins/` directory to see available plugins. Each plugin has its own README describing its contents.

User

The `user/` directory contains user-level Claude Code configuration that gets symlinked to ~/.claude. This includes global instructions, settings (plugins, permissions, sandbox), and hooks that apply across all projects.

Development

To test a plugin locally without publishing:

bash

claude --plugin-dir ./plugins/<name> --setting-sources local

This isolates the session from user/project settings, loading only the specified plugin. Use this to verify changes before committing.
