Skills
A collection of skills that extend Claude's capabilities for specialized tasks.
Available Skills
| Skill | Description |
|---|
| dns-troubleshooter | It's not DNS / There's no way it's DNS / It was DNS. Diagnose DNS issues including delegation verification, SPF validation, record conflicts, and authoritative vs local DNS comparison |
| design-memo | Produce polished, self-contained HTML design memos with Tufte-inspired layout and scrollytelling — the default output for any plan, design, or architecture proposal |
Copilot Compatible: All skills in this repository work with both Claude and GitHub Copilot (December 2025+).

Install Script
Use the install script for manual installation. Every platform flag accepts a skill name; omit it to install every skill in skills/:
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/statik/skills.git
cd skills
# Install every skill to a specific platform
./install.sh --claude # Claude Code
./install.sh --codex # Codex CLI
./install.sh --opencode # OpenCode
./install.sh --desktop # Claude Desktop
./install.sh --copilot --all-skills /path/to/proj # GitHub Copilot in a project
./install.sh --all # All global locations
# Or install just one skill
./install.sh --claude design-memo
./install.sh --copilot dns-troubleshooter /path/to/proj
# Or use just recipes (skill defaults to "all")
just install-claude # all skills
just install-claude design-memo # one skill
just install-all
Installation
Skills can be added to Claude in several ways depending on your environment.
Claude Code (CLI)
Option 1: Plugin install (recommended)
/plugin marketplace add statik/skills
/plugin install design-memo@statik-skills # or
/plugin install dns-troubleshooter@statik-skills
Option 2: Manual install
Pick which skill(s) you want — examples below use $SKILL so the command applies to either.
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/statik/skills.git
cd skills
SKILL=design-memo # or dns-troubleshooter
Copy to a project:
cp -r skills/$SKILL /path/to/your/project/.claude/skills/
Or add globally to ~/.claude/skills/:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/$SKILL ~/.claude/skills/
Codex CLI
Codex loads skills from $CODEX_HOME/skills (defaults to ~/.codex/skills):
# Codex requires OPENAI_API_KEY
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"
SKILL=design-memo # or dns-troubleshooter
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
cp -r skills/$SKILL ~/.codex/skills/
To run Codex with the skill available:
codex exec "Check if the SPF record for example.com is valid."
codex exec "Draft a design memo for the new auth service."
OpenCode
OpenCode natively supports skills in the same format. Pick a skill and copy it to one of these locations:
SKILL=design-memo # or dns-troubleshooter
Project-level (recommended):
# Native skills directory (OpenCode v1.0.190+)
cp -r skills/$SKILL /path/to/your/project/skill/
# Or the .opencode directory
cp -r skills/$SKILL /path/to/your/project/.opencode/skills/
Global installation:
# XDG config location (Linux/macOS)
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/skills
cp -r skills/$SKILL ~/.config/opencode/skills/
# Alternative global location
mkdir -p ~/.opencode/skills
cp -r skills/$SKILL ~/.opencode/skills/
VS Code with GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot supports Agent Skills as of December 2025. Skills can be installed in multiple locations:
Option 1: GitHub Skills directory (recommended)
your-project/
├── .github/
│ └── skills/
│ ├── design-memo/
│ │ └── SKILL.md
│ └── dns-troubleshooter/
│ ├── SKILL.md
│ └── references/
│ └── spf.md
└── ... your code
Option 2: Claude Skills directory (also supported)
Copilot automatically discovers skills in .claude/skills/:
your-project/
├── .claude/
│ └── skills/
│ ├── design-memo/
│ └── dns-troubleshooter/
└── ... your code
