Install
Skills CLI
npx skills add ykdojo/claude-code-tips
Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add ykdojo/claude-code-tips --skill gha — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/ykdojo/claude-code-tipscp -r "claude-code-tips/skills/gha" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the gha skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add ykdojo/claude-code-tips
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.
-
gha
Analyze GitHub Actions failures and identify root causes
skills/gha/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
half-clone
Clone the later half of the current conversation, discarding earlier context to reduce token usage while preserving recent work.
skills/half-clone/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
handoff
Write or update a handoff document so the next agent with fresh context can continue this work.
skills/handoff/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
hn-summarize
Fetch and summarize Hacker News / hckrnews.com top stories, articles, and their comment threads. Use when asked to summarize HN front-page stories, a specific HN story plus its discussion, or "the top N from hckrnews".
skills/hn-summarize/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
private-github-search
Full-text search across all of the user's GitHub repos (including private ones) using a local mirror and ripgrep. Use for "where did I put X", "which repo has X", or any search spanning the user's repos - gh search code / the REST API cannot reliably search private repos.
skills/private-github-search/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
quarter-clone
Clone the last quarter of the current conversation, discarding earlier context to reduce token usage while preserving recent work.
skills/quarter-clone/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
reddit-fetch
Fetch content from Reddit via its JSON API using a browser session (DuckDuckGo-hop unlock). Use when accessing Reddit URLs, researching topics on Reddit, or when Reddit returns 403/blocked errors.
skills/reddit-fetch/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
review-claudemd
Review recent conversations to find improvements for CLAUDE.md files.
skills/review-claudemd/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
version-check
Recommend which Claude Code version to run, or whether to update. Use when asked which Claude Code version is best/safe, whether to update now, whether a recent release is buggy, or what changed since the installed version.
skills/version-check/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
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.
