skills 🧠

The agent skill collection of Kevin Veen-Birkenbach. Every skill is pinned in skills-lock.json for reproducible installs. First-party skills live under skills/ and are layered on top of the locked ones at install time. Compatible with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and other agents.

Requirements 📦

• Node.js (provides npx skills).
• jq (only required for make update).

Installation 🚀

Install the skills globally into your home (~/.agents/skills and ~/.claude/skills):

make install

Copy the skills into a specific project (<repo>/.agents/skills and <repo>/.claude/skills):

make project TARGET=/path/to/repo

Both commands also enable the caveman and ponytail plugins in the target's .claude/settings.json so their modes auto-activate on session start; existing settings are preserved.

Restart your agent afterwards so it loads the new skills.

Maintenance 🔧

Refresh every skill to its latest version and rewrite skills-lock.json:

make update

Validate skills-lock.json and shellcheck the scripts (also run by CI on every push and after every update):

make test
