conda-build

skills

Reusable agent skills and plugin adapters maintained by lizhangmai.

This repository publishes ordinary SKILL.md skills and the thin plugin metadata needed by Codex and Claude Code. The runtime content lives under plugins/<plugin>/skills/<skill>/; generic skills installers can discover the same skills directly from the repository.

Install

Use any one of these equivalent installation paths. For Monata simulation workflows, install both monata-sim-env and conda-build.

Open Skills CLI

Use the Open Skills CLI for agents that support plain skills or do not have a dedicated plugin marketplace:

npx skills@latest add lizhangmai/skills --skill monata-sim-env --skill conda-build

To inspect what the repository exposes before installing:

npx skills@latest add lizhangmai/skills --list

Pass --agent <agent-name> when you want to target a specific installed agent.

Codex Plugin Marketplace

Add this repository as a Codex plugin marketplace:

codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/lizhangmai/skills --ref main
codex plugin list --marketplace lizhangmai --available --json
codex plugin add monata-sim-env@lizhangmai
codex plugin add conda-build@lizhangmai

After installing, start a new Codex thread in the target project directory and ask Codex:

Use the monata-sim-env skill to set up this Monata environment.
CONDA_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR=<absolute-path-you-choose>

Replace <absolute-path-you-choose> with a real absolute path before sending the prompt. The skill inspects the Monata workspace before choosing tool packages; the current Monata baseline is ngspice plus openvaf-r.

Update the marketplace snapshot when this repository changes:

codex plugin marketplace upgrade lizhangmai
codex plugin remove monata-sim-env@lizhangmai
codex plugin add monata-sim-env@lizhangmai
codex plugin remove conda-build@lizhangmai
codex plugin add conda-build@lizhangmai

Claude Code Plugin Marketplace

Add this repository as a Claude Code plugin marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/lizhangmai/skills
/plugin marketplace update lizhangmai
/plugin install monata-sim-env@lizhangmai
/plugin install conda-build@lizhangmai
/reload-plugins

Then ask Claude Code:

Use the monata-sim-env skill to set up this Monata environment.
CONDA_BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR=<absolute-path-you-choose>

Repository Helper

For local development or offline testing of this repository, use the helper script to install plain SKILL.md directories:

python3 scripts/install.py --list
python3 scripts/install.py --target codex --skill monata-sim-env
python3 scripts/install.py --target codex --skill conda-build

Use symlinks during local skill development:

python3 scripts/install.py --target codex --skill monata-sim-env --mode symlink --force

Plugins

Plugin	Audience	Purpose
monata-sim-env	Monata users	Inspect a Monata workspace, set up a pixi environment, build or reuse the needed local circuit-tool packages, and verify ngspice plus OpenVAF tooling.
conda-build	Package maintainers and advanced users	Manage local self-use conda channels with rattler-build, including build, test, inspect, render, debug, patch, bump, rebuild, and publish guidance.

Maintainer-only release workflows should live outside this public skills repository so generic skill installers do not expose them to ordinary users.

The Open Skills CLI discovers the nested SKILL.md directories, while Codex and Claude Code use their plugin manifests at each plugin root.

Validate

Before publishing changes:

npx skills@latest add . --list
python3 scripts/validate.py
python3.10 ~/.codex/skills/.system/plugin-creator/scripts/validate_plugin.py plugins/monata-sim-env
python3.10 ~/.codex/skills/.system/plugin-creator/scripts/validate_plugin.py plugins/conda-build
claude plugin validate .
claude plugin validate plugins/monata-sim-env
claude plugin validate plugins/conda-build

Use any Python 3.10+ executable for the Codex plugin validator.

Publishing Boundary

This repository should contain reusable skills, helper scripts, references, and public recipes. It should not vendor third-party simulator source trees, compiled EDA tools, private tokens, internal release credentials, or machine-specific storage paths.
