feat(skills): rename shortcuts skill and auto-enable caveman/ponytail on install
Rename the portable conversation-shortcut skill from agent-shortcuts to
shortcuts and re-prefix every token to soc* (sobu, soco, socobu, socon,
sona, sote) so each token mirrors its command and never places two
consonants next to each other. make install and make project now also
register the caveman and ponytail marketplaces and enable both plugins in
the target's .claude/settings.json so their SessionStart hooks activate
every session; the merge is non-destructive, idempotent, and leaves an
unparseable settings.json untouched.

- skills/shortcuts/SKILL.md: new name and soc* token table
- tests/test_shortcuts.py: assert present, sorted, soc-prefixed, no cluster
- remove skills/agent-shortcuts and tests/test_agent_shortcuts.py
- scripts/enable-plugins.js: node JSON merge helper
- scripts/install.sh: run the helper after copying skills
- README.md: document the auto-enable behavior

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

This collection is part of a wider toolset for managing IT and infrastructure:

  • alias — shell aliases for common commands.
  • package-managerpkgmgr, a single command to install and manage these repositories.
  • infinito-nexus — automation platform for self-hosted infrastructure.
