MTHDS Skills

A Claude Code skills plugin for building, running, validating, and editing AI methods (.mthds bundle files) using the mthds-agent CLI.

MTHDS is an open standard for AI methods. Find methods on the hub: MTHDS Hub. Install the reference python runtime from Pipelex.

Skills

Skill	Description
/mthds-build	Build new AI method bundles from scratch. Supports both automated CLI build and guided 10-phase manual construction.
/mthds-check	Validate workflow bundles for issues. Reports problems without modifying files (read-only analysis).
/mthds-edit	Modify existing workflow bundles — change pipes, update prompts, rename concepts, add or remove steps.
/mthds-explain	Explain and document existing workflows. Walk through the execution flow in plain language.
/mthds-fix	Automatically fix validation errors in workflow bundles. Applies fixes and re-validates in a loop.
/mthds-run	Execute MTHDS methods and interpret their JSON output. Supports dry runs, mock inputs, and graph generation.
/mthds-inputs	Prepare inputs for workflows: placeholder templates, synthetic test data, user-provided files, or a mix.
/mthds-install	Install method packages from GitHub or local directories.
/mthds-pkg	Manage MTHDS packages — initialize, add dependencies, lock, install, update, and validate.
/mthds-publish	Publish methods to mthds.sh (telemetry only, no file writes).
/mthds-share	Share methods on social media (X, Reddit, LinkedIn). Pick specific platforms with --platform.
