Custom Skills
Bootstrap and maintain a consistent Claude Code, MCP, and plugin setup across macOS, Linux, and Windows with one `ai-dev` CLI.
Overview
custom-skills is a plugin marketplace for the Build phase that provides the ai-dev CLI plus four plugins to automate Claude Code, MCP, and plugin environment setup.
What is this marketplace?
- Cross-platform `ai-dev` CLI installed via uv, pipx, or editable local checkout
- `ai-dev install` orchestrates Node.js, Git, Claude Code CLI checks, and global tools such as openspec and gemini-cli
- Marketplace bundles 4 plugins alongside documented AI dev environment setup (Traditional Chinese docs included)
- Editable `uv tool install -e` path for immediate iteration while developing the marketplace itself
- Unified maintenance entry point rather than hand-editing scattered MCP and plugin configs
- Marketplace lists 4 plugins
- Documented globals include openspec and gemini-cli during install
- Supports editable uv install for immediate code changes
Community signal: 5 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Indie developers lose days reconfiguring Claude Code, MCP servers, and plugins every time they switch machines or OS.
Who is it for?
Solo or small-team builders who want one cross-platform installer for Claude Code ecosystems and bundled custom plugins.
Skip if: Developers who only use a single cloud IDE with no local Claude Code, or teams with enterprise MDM-owned machine images already frozen.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Running ai-dev install yields a repeatable agent-ready workstation and registered marketplace plugins instead of fragmented manual steps.
- Installed ai-dev CLI with install and upgrade workflows
- Four marketplace plugins registered alongside a verified local AI dev baseline

Journey fit
First meaningful moment is Build when you stand up the agent environment; the same CLI also supports ongoing environment maintenance. Install checks Node, Git, Claude Code CLI, and global NPM tooling—core agent-tooling scaffolding before you ship features.
How it compares
Environment bootstrap CLI plus plugin bundle, not a single-domain skill like bookkeeping or video generation.

Who is Custom Skills for?
Builders on macOS, Linux, or Windows who use Claude Code and want automated setup for MCP, plugins, and related NPM tooling via ai-dev.

How do I add Custom Skills to my agent?
Install ai-dev with `uv tool install git+https://github.com/ValorVie/Custom Skills.git`, run `ai-dev install`, then add the marketplace plugins through Claude Code’s plugin commands per the bundled guide.
