Agent Skills Collection

Curated Agent Skills with installable Claude Code plugins and directory-based skills for Pi, OpenCode, Codex, and other tools that load SKILL.md directories.

Installation

As Claude Code Marketplace Plugins

1. In Claude Code, go to Settings > Marketplace
2. Add marketplace from GitHub: dxta/claude-code-skills
3. Browse and install individual plugins

As a Git Submodule for Directory-Based Tools

Recommended neutral path:

git submodule add https://github.com/dxta/claude-code-skills.git ai/skills/mine

Then expose the repo to each tool with symlinks or an installer:

# OpenCode
ln -s ../ai/skills/mine ~/.config/opencode/skills

# Pi coding agent
ln -s /path/to/repo/ai/skills/mine ~/.pi/agent/skills/mine

# Codex
ln -s /path/to/repo/ai/skills/mine/core/systematic-debugging ~/.codex/skills/systematic-debugging

For multi-source setups, keep this repo as the public mine/ source and compose private or third-party skills outside this repository.

Repository Structure

This repository serves two use cases:

• Root-level skill sources -- Categories such as core/, frontend/, backend/, etc. contain skills in <category>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md layout. This is the source of truth and is compatible with tools that recursively load SKILL.md directories.
• plugins/ marketplace overlay -- Claude Code plugin packages. Each plugin has a .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest and a skills/ directory of symlinks pointing back to root-level sources. Some plugins also include agents/ and commands/ directories.

claude-code-skills/
  core/                        # Root-level skill sources
    collision-zone-thinking/
      SKILL.md
    ...
  frontend/
  backend/
  ...
  index.json                   # Full skill registry
  plugins/
    core-thinking/
      .claude-plugin/
        plugin.json            # Marketplace manifest
      skills/
        collision-zone-thinking -> ../../../core/collision-zone-thinking
        ...
    core-workflow/
      .claude-plugin/
        plugin.json
      skills/
      agents/
      commands/
    ...

Skills Not in Marketplace

Some root-level skills are intentionally available only when using the repository directly as a directory/submodule source.

Examples:

• aws/ -- AWS CDK, cost operations, and serverless EDA. Kept separate due to cloud-provider specificity; intended for explicit opt-in.
• packs/ -- Composite skill packs (feature-dev, fullstack-starter-pack) that reference skills across categories.
• Some local workflow skills may remain directory-only before they are packaged into marketplace plugins.

Development

Updating Skills

Edit skill files at root level, e.g.:

core/when-stuck/SKILL.md

Then regenerate plugin symlinks if plugin packaging changed:

scripts/sync-plugins.sh

Adding a New Skill

1. Create <category>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
2. Add an entry to index.json
3. Update the relevant plugin's symlinks and plugin.json if it should ship as a Claude Code plugin
4. Run scripts/sync-plugins.sh
