Install
Skills CLI
npx skills add JayPokale/Chisle
Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add JayPokale/Chisle --skill chisle-audit — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/JayPokale/Chislecp -r "Chisle/skills/chisle-audit" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the chisle-audit skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add JayPokale/Chisle
Run inside Claude Code if the repository ships a plugin marketplace, then pick plugins from /plugin.
Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
chisle-audit
One-shot efficiency audit of a file, diff, or whole repo across BOTH axes at once: over-engineered code (reinvented stdlib, needless abstractions, speculative config) AND bloated prose (verbose comments, padded docstrings, redundant doc sections). Neither a pure code-minimizer nor a pure prose compressor does both in one pass. That's the point. Ranked report, biggest saving first; changes nothing…

chisle-help
Quick-reference card for Chisle commands. One-shot display, not a persistent mode. Use when the user says "chisle help", "how do I use chisle", "what chisle commands", or invokes /chisle-help.
skills/chisle-help/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
chisle-review
Review a diff or file through the Chisle lens: flag over-engineering, speculative abstractions, reinvented stdlib, and verbose code that a lazier approach would shrink. One finding per line, no praise. Use when the user says "chisle review", "review this for bloat", or invokes /chisle-review.
skills/chisle-review/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
chisle
Maximum-efficiency dev mode. Terse, precise prose with zero fluff combined with YAGNI/ladder-first code decisions. One persona: the senior dev who deletes code for fun and bills by the syllable. Trigger: /chisle. Deactivate: "stop chisle" / "normal mode". Use when user says "chisle mode", "activate chisle", "chislify", "be efficient", "be minimal", "no fluff", "yagni", or invokes /chisle.

No skill matches that filter.
Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
