ai-skills

My list of AI skills that I have collected, either made myself or gathered from others.

Installing them for testing

make install symlinks every skill in this repo into ~/.claude/skills/, so Claude Code picks them up in any project. Because they are symlinks, editing a SKILL.md here takes effect in the next session — no re-install step.

make list                     # every skill, its source dir, and install status
make check                    # validate frontmatter before installing
make install                  # symlink all of them into ~/.claude/skills
make install SKILL=grill-me   # just one
make uninstall                # remove only the links this repo created
make reinstall                # uninstall then install

The install name comes from the name: in each SKILL.md, not the directory — so linear-issue/ installs as linear-issue-creator and zero-to-hero/files/ installs as zero-to-hero.

Options

Variable	Effect
SKILL=<name>	Limit install/uninstall to one skill (matches the skill name or its directory)
DEST=<dir>	Install somewhere else, e.g. DEST=../myproject/.claude/skills for a project-local install
FORCE=1	Move a conflicting real directory aside to <name>.bak instead of skipping it

make copy copies instead of symlinking — use it to hand someone a snapshot, not for testing, since copies go stale as soon as you edit the source.

Safety

install never overwrites a real directory in the destination (it skips and warns, unless FORCE=1), and uninstall only removes symlinks that point back into this repo. Skills installed from elsewhere are left alone.
