How it works
Each .md file is a Claude Code skill — a prompt that loads into Claude's context when triggered. Claude detects from your request which skill applies and uses it automatically. You can also invoke any skill directly with /skill-name.
Skills live at ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md after install.
Contributing
PRs welcome. Each skill is a single .md file with this structure:
--- name: your-skill-name description: One clear sentence on what the skill does. Then trigger phrases — when should Claude activate this automatically? Be specific. --- # Skill content here
The description field drives automatic activation — write it so Claude knows exactly when to reach for this skill.
