# Contributing to Claude Code Skills
|
||||
|
||||
Thank you for your interest in contributing! This repository is the largest open-source Claude Code skills & agent plugins library (6,800+ stars, 205 production-ready skills).
|
||||
|
||||
**Before you start:** Read [CONVENTIONS.md](CONVENTIONS.md) — it contains the mandatory technical rules that every contribution must follow. PRs that violate conventions will be closed.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Target Branch: `dev`
|
||||
|
||||
**All PRs must target the `dev` branch.** PRs targeting `main` will be closed automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/claude-skills.git
|
||||
cd claude-skills
|
||||
git remote add upstream https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git
|
||||
git fetch upstream dev
|
||||
git checkout -b feature/my-skill upstream/dev
|
||||
```

|
||||
## What We Accept
|
||||
|
||||
### New Skills
|
||||
|
||||
Add domain expertise that doesn't already exist in the repo:
|
||||
- Engineering tools and workflows
|
||||
- Marketing, sales, customer success patterns
|
||||
- Product management frameworks
|
||||
- Regulatory and compliance (ISO, SOC, GDPR, FDA)
|
||||
- Business functions (finance, HR, operations)
|
||||
|
||||
**Before building:** Check existing skills to avoid overlap. Open an issue to discuss if unsure.
|
||||
|
||||
### Improvements to Existing Skills
|
||||
|
||||
- Better workflows and actionable patterns
|
||||
- Additional Python automation scripts
|
||||
- New reference material
|
||||
- More code examples and cross-references
|
||||
- Bug fixes in scripts or documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### Bug Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
- Python scripts that fail `--help`
|
||||
- Broken cross-references between skills
|
||||
- Incorrect information in reference docs
|
||||

|
||||
## What We Do NOT Accept
|
||||
|
||||
| Type | Reason |
|
||||
|------|--------|
|
||||
| Links to external repos/tools in README | No 3rd party promotion |
|
||||
| Skills requiring paid API keys | Must work without external services |
|
||||
| Scripts with pip dependencies | stdlib-only Python |
|
||||
| PRs that change the skill count (205) | Curated number |
|
||||
| PRs modifying `.codex/`, `.gemini/`, `marketplace.json` | Auto-generated files |
|
||||
| Bloated diffs with fork merge history | Rebase on `dev` first |
|
||||
| Generic advice without actionable frameworks | Must be executable by an AI agent |
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Skill Creation Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Create the directory
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Example: new engineering skill
|
||||
mkdir -p engineering/my-new-skill/scripts
|
||||
mkdir -p engineering/my-new-skill/references
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Write SKILL.md
|
||||
|
||||
**Frontmatter — only `name` and `description`:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: "my-new-skill"
|
||||
description: "Use when the user asks to [specific trigger]. Covers [key capabilities]."
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Important:** Do NOT add `license`, `metadata`, `triggers`, `version`, `author`, or any other fields. See [CONVENTIONS.md](CONVENTIONS.md) for the full specification.
|
||||
|
||||
**Content must be:**
|
||||
- Under 500 lines (move detailed content to `references/`)
|
||||
- Opinionated (recommend specific approaches)
|
||||
- Actionable (agent can execute, not just advise)
|
||||
- Include anti-patterns and cross-references sections
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Write Python scripts (optional but valuable)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env python3
|
||||
"""Tool Name — brief description."""
|
||||
|
||||
import argparse
|
||||
import json
|
||||
import sys
|
||||
|
||||
def main():
|
||||
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Tool description")
|
||||
parser.add_argument("input", help="Input file or value")
|
||||
parser.add_argument("--json", action="store_true", help="Output as JSON")
|
||||
parser.add_argument("--verbose", action="store_true", help="Verbose output")
|
||||
args = parser.parse_args()
|
||||
|
||||
# Your logic here
|
||||
result = {"status": "ok"}
|
||||
|
||||
if args.json:
|
||||
print(json.dumps(result, indent=2))
|
||||
else:
|
||||
print(f"Result: {result['status']}")
|
||||
|
||||
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
||||
main()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Script rules:** stdlib-only, argparse, `--help`, `--json`, proper exit codes (0/1/2). See [CONVENTIONS.md](CONVENTIONS.md) for full requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Add reference docs (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
Place detailed material in `references/`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
my-new-skill/references/
|
||||
├── patterns.md # Detailed patterns and examples
|
||||
├── best-practices.md # Best practices guide
|
||||
└── decision-matrix.md # Comparison tables
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Reference them from SKILL.md:
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
> See [references/patterns.md](references/patterns.md) for detailed patterns.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Validate before submitting
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Structure validation
|
||||
python3 engineering/skill-tester/scripts/skill_validator.py <your-skill-path>
|
||||
|
||||
# Script testing
|
||||
python3 engineering/skill-tester/scripts/script_tester.py <your-skill-path> --verbose
|
||||
|
||||
# Security audit
|
||||
python3 engineering/skill-security-auditor/scripts/skill_security_auditor.py <your-skill-path> --strict
|
||||
```
