Rename notice: Spellbook was formerly Claude Arsenal. Claude Code remains a first-class target; the new name reflects the broader roadmap for Claude Code, Codex, and cross-runtime agent skills. See the migration note for details.


Quick Start

Start with one job-shaped workflow. The maintained skills CLI lets you choose the supported coding agents during installation and installs only these four skills:

npx skills add majiayu000/spellbook --skill frontend-design --skill app-ui-design --skill ui-design-system --skill figma-to-react

Use npx skills add majiayu000/spellbook --list to inspect the catalog before installing. See Pick a Workflow for four other focused starting points.

Advanced Cross-Runtime Installer

install.sh remains available when you want explicit Claude Code/Codex target paths or need to install the repository's Claude Code agents as well as skills.

# Install all skills and supported agents into both maintained runtimes
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/majiayu000/spellbook/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --target all

# Or clone the repository and select skills explicitly
git clone https://github.com/majiayu000/spellbook.git
cd spellbook
./install.sh --target all --skills typescript-project,python-project,devops-excellence

Verify Installation

  • Claude Code: type / to see your installed skills.
  • Codex: restart Codex so it reloads ~/.agents/skills.

Runtime Targets

Spellbook keeps the skill source in one place and installs it into the runtime you use.

| Target | Installed To | Status | |--------|--------------|--------| | Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills plus ~/.claude/agents | Skills and agents supported | | Codex | ~/.agents/skills | Skills supported; agents skipped | | All | Both Claude Code and Codex paths | Recommended for multi-tool users |

Claude Code remains a first-class target and search entry. The project was formerly known as Claude Arsenal; the new Spellbook name reflects the broader goal: reusable skills that can travel across coding agents. Older Spellbook versions installed Codex skills under ~/.codex/skills; reinstall with the current installer to use the documented Codex user-level skill path.


Pick a Workflow

Start with a small bundle that matches the job, then add more skills when the workflow sticks.

| Workflow | Install | Good for | |---|---|---| | Frontend and UI | npx skills add majiayu000/spellbook --skill frontend-design --skill app-ui-design --skill ui-design-system --skill figma-to-react | Product UI, landing pages, design systems, Figma handoff | | Code quality | npx skills add majiayu000/spellbook --skill codebase-audit --skill flowguard --skill systematic-debugging --skill review-gate | Audits, guarded delivery, root-cause debugging, pre-landing review | | Ops and release | npx skills add majiayu000/spellbook --skill release-engineering --skill server-security --skill clash-doctor --skill system-doctor | Release planning, server hardening, and local or network diagnosis | | Product and docs | npx skills add majiayu000/spellbook --skill product-discovery --skill prd-master --skill technical-spec --skill product-analytics | Discovery, PRDs, technical specs, metrics plans | | Agent workflows | npx skills add majiayu000/spellbook --skill codex-agent --skill multi-ai-research --skill flowguard --skill vibeguard | Cross-review, multi-AI research, context handoff, anti-hallucination checks |

High-signal individual skills to try first: github-trending, harmonyos-app, app-ui-design, product-discovery, xiaohongshu, codebase-audit, and server-security.

Why Spellbook

  • Cross-runtime install: one source tree can install into Claude Code and Codex.
  • Validated registry: every installable skill is checked by python3 scripts/validate_skills.py --check.
  • Progressive disclosure: larger skills use references/, templates/, scripts/, and eval files instead of one giant prompt.
  • Practical coverage: engineering, operations, product, UI, content, and agent workflows live in one catalog.

Skills

The generated full skill inventory lives in Skill Registry. Skill layout rules live in Skill Format Policy. Skill authoring quality rules live in Skill Quality Playbook.

Search the Registry

# Free-text query (AND semantics across name, description, category, tags)
python3 scripts/validate_skills.py search rust testing

# Filter by tag
python3 scripts/validate_skills.py search --tag agent

# Restrict to a description language
python3 scripts/validate_skills.py search --language zh deploy

# Machine-readable output
python3 scripts/validate_skills.py search --tag react --json

The tag index lives in registry/tags.json for tooling and dashboards. Curated overrides for skills the keyword heuristic cannot infer live in registry/tag_overrides.yml.
