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.

Various skills for AI agents (in claude skills format).

Installation

Claude Code/Desktop

Step 1: Add this marketplace to Claude Code:

bash

/plugin marketplace add ypares/agent-skills
   # Lowercase here. GitHub is case-insensitive, claude marketplaces aren't

Step 2: Activate the plugins you want to use:

bash

/plugin   # Opens a TUI to choose which ones to activate

Other Agent Harnesses

Besides Claude Code/Desktop, you can use these skills in any agent harness via openskills, which is also Nix-packaged in nix-ai-tools.

Using `rigup.nix`

This repository also exposes the Skills via Nix, as riglet modules for the rigup Agent Rig System (EXPERIMENTAL). See `rigup.nix` for more information.

Tips about using them

working-with-jj

Did you know your agent can have its own jj config? This can be useful to ensure:

•It sees regular git diffs (instead of the more compact jj color-words default diff formatter which it isn't used to)
•It uses the default and more usual builtin_log_compact template instead of your custom log template
•It does not try to use your $EDITOR

See `this file` as an example. You can just start the harness (e.g. claude-code) with:

JJ_CONFIG=/abs/path/to/agent/jj-config.toml claude ...

(The just claude recipe in the `justfile` does that)

nix-profile-manager

Also see the just claude recipe in the `justfile`.
