skills

Skills for Real Engineers. Straight from my .agents directory.

Skills

Skill	What it does
deslop	Strips AI-generated slop out of the changes on a branch: narrating comments, unasked-for defensive code, any/unknown casts, single-use wrappers, mock-heavy tests. Behaviour stays identical.
babysit-pr	Takes an open PR you wrote through review and CI rounds: fixes the real findings, answers and resolves the rest, pushes, and stops at green and approved or at a stop point you set. Merges only when you ask.

Install

Quick start

# every skill, into every agent it detects, no prompts
npx skills add anolilab/skills --all

# or pick interactively
npx skills add anolilab/skills

Add -g to install globally (available in every project) instead of into the current project only.

A specific agent

Pass -a with the agent's slug. Repeat it to target several at once.

npx skills add anolilab/skills -a claude-code
npx skills add anolilab/skills -a codex
npx skills add anolilab/skills -a opencode

# several at once
npx skills add anolilab/skills -a claude-code -a codex -a opencode

# every detected agent
npx skills add anolilab/skills --agent '*'

Where the files land:

Agent	-a slug	Project path	Global path (-g)
Claude Code	claude-code	.claude/skills/	~/.claude/skills/
Codex	codex	.agents/skills/	~/.codex/skills/
OpenCode	opencode	.agents/skills/	~/.config/opencode/skills/
Cursor	cursor	.agents/skills/	~/.cursor/skills/
Gemini CLI	gemini-cli	.agents/skills/	~/.gemini/skills/
GitHub Copilot	github-copilot	.agents/skills/	~/.copilot/skills/
Amp	amp	.agents/skills/	~/.config/agents/skills/
Zed, Cline, Warp	zed, cline, warp	.agents/skills/	~/.agents/skills/

Around 77 agents are supported in total. npx skills add anolilab/skills --list shows what is in this repo before you install anything.

One skill only

npx skills add anolilab/skills --skill deslop

Claude Code plugin

Each skill is packaged as its own plugin, so you install only what you want. The plugin route also brings the hook that runs deslop automatically (see below), which the npx route does not.

/plugin marketplace add anolilab/skills
/plugin install deslop@anolilab

Without installing

npx skills use anolilab/skills --skill deslop --agent claude-code

Running deslop automatically

Installed as a Claude Code plugin, deslop runs on its own. A Stop hook checks the branch when a turn ends, and if code changed it sends Claude back to do a deslop pass before finishing.

It triggers once per set of changes, not once per turn, and it does nothing when the branch is clean, when the directory is not a git repo, or when that exact diff already went through a pass.

To turn it off without uninstalling:

export DESLOP_AUTO=0

Installing through npx skills add gives you the skill without the hook, so it fires only when Claude judges it relevant or when you ask for it by name.

Layout

One self-contained plugin directory per capability, each owning its skills, hooks, and evals.

.claude-plugin/
└── marketplace.json     # lists every plugin by directory
deslop/
├── .claude-plugin/plugin.json
├── evals/               # graded cases for the skill
├── hooks/               # hooks.json + the Stop hook script
└── skills/deslop/
    ├── SKILL.md         # name + description frontmatter, then the instructions
    └── references/      # loaded on demand rather than up front

The npx installer copies only skills/, so hooks and evals sit at the plugin level where they belong to the plugin rather than to the skill.

Contributing

AGENTS.md has the rules for adding a skill: frontmatter limits, how to write a description that actually gets matched, when to split content into references/, and the bar for hooks and evals. Validate before opening a PR:

python3 scripts/validate-package.py
claude plugin validate . --strict
npx skills add . --list

CI runs all three on every pull request, plus a shell syntax check and a step that executes every eval scaffold. Pull request titles follow Conventional Commits.
