comments-clean purges explanatory comments before every operator-requested stage or commit and penalizes own violations into persistent memory; commit-no-verify commits the exact staging index with hooks skipped, the invocation itself being the per-commit authorization; commit-next chains both and stages the next logical bundle with an explain and confidence briefing; explain walks code and its collaborators in execution order and offers a Mermaid schema in the affected README; help-skills lists every project, global and plugin skill with triggers and composition.

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 formake 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
