Install

Pick the section that matches your tool. The plugin marketplace path (Claude Code only) needs no setup. The symlink-based installs share a one-time setup so they compose cleanly across multiple AI tools.

Plugin marketplace (Claude Code, easiest)

Inside a Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add ribrewguy/agent-skills
/plugin install rest-api-design@ribrewguy-skills
/plugin install structured-code-review@ribrewguy-skills

Run /plugin marketplace update ribrewguy-skills to pull updates. Auto-update on session start is off by default for third-party marketplaces. Flip it on in the /plugin UI if you want it.

Once installed, each skill fires automatically when a task matches its description, or you can invoke it explicitly with /<skill-name>.

The remaining tools want a directory or file to point at. Clone the repo wherever you keep dev tooling, then export REPO so the snippets in the per-tool pages resolve. (Add the export to your shell rc if you want it persistent.)

# wherever you keep cloned repos, adjust to taste
git clone git@github.com:ribrewguy/agent-skills.git
export REPO="$(pwd)/agent-skills"

After that, every ln -s "$REPO/..." snippet in the per-tool pages can be pasted as-is.

If you use more than one AI tool, set up the canonical-home pattern first. GitHub Copilot CLI reads ~/.agents/skills/ natively, and the others get pointed at it with one line each. git pull then updates every tool from a single source.

Per-tool pages

Verifying it works

In a fresh session of whichever tool you installed it in, drop a prompt that should trigger one of the skills:

“Review this endpoint: POST /api/createOrder returning 200 { order_id: '...' }. What’s wrong?”

If rest-api-design is loaded, the output will catch the verb in the URL, the wrong success status, the missing Location header, and the snake_case response key. If structured-code-review is also loaded, those findings come back severity-tagged in a Findings:-prefixed preamble.

Without either skill, you’ll get a looser answer that misses some of these or treats them all with equal weight.
