Install
Skills CLI
npx skills add NTCoding/claude-skillz
Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add NTCoding/claude-skillz --skill architect-refine-critique — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/NTCoding/claude-skillzcp -r "claude-skillz/architect-refine-critique" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the architect-refine-critique skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add NTCoding/claude-skillz
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.
-
architect-refine-critique
Three-phase design review. Chain architect → refiner → critique subagents. Triggers on: 'design review', 'architecture review', '/arc', system design proposals, significant refactoring decisions, new service or module design.
architect-refine-critique/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
challenge-that
Force critical evaluation of proposals, requirements, or decisions by analyzing from multiple adversarial perspectives. Triggers on: accepting a proposal without pushback, 'sounds good', 'let's go with', design decisions with unstated tradeoffs, unchallenged assumptions, premature consensus. Invoke with /challenge-that.
challenge-that/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
concise-output
Enforces brevity and signal-over-noise in all outputs. Eliminates verbose explanations, filler phrases, and unnecessary elaboration. Triggers on: every response (governs output length and density when loaded).
concise-output/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
confidence-honesty
Force honest confidence assessment before claiming conclusions. Triggers on 'root cause identified', 'problem identified', 'complete clarity'. Express confidence as percentage, explain what's stopping 100%, validate assumptions before presenting.
confidence-honesty/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
create-tasks
Creates well-formed tasks following a template that engineers can implement. Triggers on: 'create tasks', 'define work items', 'break this down', creating tasks from PRD, converting requirements into actionable tasks, feature breakdown, sprint planning.
create-tasks/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
critical-peer-personality
Professional, skeptical communication style. Never over-enthusiastic, verifies before agreeing, challenges constructively, proposes instead of asking preferences. Expert peer who coaches, not serves. Triggers on: composing responses, agreeing with user, making recommendations, giving feedback.
critical-peer-personality/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
data-visualization
Comprehensive data visualization skill covering visual execution and technical implementation. Includes perceptual foundations, chart selection, layout algorithms, and library guidance. Triggers on: charts, graphs, dashboards, 'visualize', 'plot', data presentation, D3, Recharts, Victory.
data-visualization/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
fetching-circleci-logs
Fetches CircleCI job logs via the v1.1 API and displays step-level output. Focuses on failed steps. Use when: CI checks fail on a PR, user shares a CircleCI job URL, user asks to check build logs, 'circleci', 'build failed', 'CI failed', 'check the logs'.
fetching-circleci-logs/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
fix-it-never-work-around-it
Stops execution and fixes root cause when commands, builds, scripts, or tools fail unexpectedly. Triggers on workaround language: 'directly', 'instead', 'alternatively', 'skip', 'fall back', 'work around', 'isn't working', 'broken', 'manually'. Activates on any unexpected non-zero exit code or process failure.
fix-it-never-work-around-it/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
independent-research
Use when about to ask the user a factual question, propose a solution, diagnose an error, or choose between approaches. Triggers on: 'Do you have X installed?', 'What version?', 'Is X configured?', 'We should...', 'The fix is...', 'Options: 1...', 'Based on my understanding...', 'I believe X supports...'. Before deciding anything, spin up parallel subagents to WebSearch for current docs, communit…

lightweight-design-analysis
This skill analyzes code for design quality improvements across 8 dimensions: Naming, Object Calisthenics, Coupling & Cohesion, Immutability, Domain Integrity, Type System, Simplicity, and Performance. Ensures rigorous, evidence-based analysis by: (1) Understanding code flow first via implementation-analysis protocol, (2) Systematically evaluating each dimension with specific criteria, (3) Provid…
lightweight-design-analysis/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
lightweight-implementation-analysis-protocol
This skill should be used when fixing bugs, implementing features, debugging issues, or making code changes. Ensures understanding of code flow before implementation by: (1) Tracing execution path with specific file:line references, (2) Creating lightweight text diagrams showing class.method() flows, (3) Verifying understanding with user. Prevents wasted effort from assumptions or guessing. Trigg…
lightweight-implementation-analysis-protocol/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
lightweight-task-workflow
FOLLOW THE STATE MACHINE IN SKILL.MD. When user says 'continue': (1) FIRST: Run pwd, (2) Announce STATE: CHECK_STATUS, (3) Read .claude/session.md to check Status field, (4) Route based on Status. NEVER auto-advance tasks. NEVER use TodoWrite. NEVER create git commits.
lightweight-task-workflow/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
observability-first-debugging
Systematic debugging methodology that eliminates guessing and speculation. Add instrumentation to gather specific data that fully explains the problem. Evidence before hypothesis. Observation before solution. Triggers on: debugging, error investigation, 'why is this failing', unexpected behavior, test failures, non-zero exit codes, stack traces.
observability-first-debugging/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
questions-are-not-instructions
Engage with what the user said before taking action. Triggers on: questions ('?'), feedback ('this is wrong', 'that doesn't look right', 'there are issues'), challenges ('why did you', 'have you considered'), criticism ('this isn't working', 'I don't like'), observations ('I notice', 'it seems like'), naming a skill or concept. STOP and respond to the user's actual words before doing anything.

separation-of-concerns
Enforces code organization using features/ (verticals), platform/ (horizontals), and shell/ (thin wiring). Triggers on: code organization, file structure, where does this belong, new file creation, refactoring.
separation-of-concerns/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -

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.
