Learn: guides and explainers

Long-form guides that go deeper than the catalog. Start with the explainer if skills are new to you, then move on to installation, curated picks, and the case for a marketplace.

• What are agent skills?

  Start here. A plain-English explainer on what a skill is, how it triggers, and how bundles work on Claude Code and Codex.

• How to install skills from GitHub

  Step-by-step walkthrough of /plugin marketplace add and /plugin install, plus update, uninstall, and troubleshooting.

• Best CI/CD skills for Claude Code

  Curated picks from the ci-cd bundle grouped by workflow: GitHub Actions, GitLab, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Docker.

• Why use a skills marketplace?

  The case for a curated marketplace — reuse, version pinning, portability across agents — and the honest tradeoffs.

• Case study: the well-documented skill

  Evidence-first, low-drift documentation in action — maturity levels, audit-first fixes, and illustrations of the before-and-after layout.

• Claude Code skills vs Codex skills

  Side-by-side comparison of how the two platforms install, trigger, and extend skills.

• Build your own skills, hooks, agents, and commands

  Use the SDLC authoring tools in the shared-skills bundle to create, lint, validate, and ship your own Claude Code artifacts.
