shipkit-get-skills

shipkit-get-skills is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stefan-stepzero/shipkit. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,943 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for finding and installing skills and plugins made for the Claude Code ecosystem. Skills add task-specific instructions, while plugins can bundle skills and other files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding add-ons for tasks such as testing, documentation, APIs, Git workflows, security, and interface design, then offering installation options.
Why use it?
It helps developers discover available add-ons by describing what they need instead of remembering marketplace names and installation commands.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

shipkit-get-skills scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 338 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

shipkit-get-skills - Skill & Plugin Discovery

Purpose: Discover and install skills and plugins via conversational interface.

Core value: Discovery through conversation, not CLI memorization.


Two Distribution Channels

Source Best For Install Command
Official Plugins Git workflow, PR review, security, UI design /plugin install X@claude-code-plugins
skills.sh Domain-specific skills (testing, docs, APIs) npx skills add owner/repo

When user asks "what's available":

  • For plugins → Read references/official-plugins.md
  • For skills → Read references/community-skills.md

Why This Skill Exists

You don't naturally know what skills exist in the ecosystem.

Without Skill With Skill
User must know about skills.sh User says "I need help with X"
User runs CLI commands manually Claude searches and offers to install
User parses terminal output Results presented conversationally

When to Invoke

User says:

  • "Find skills for X"
  • "Is there a skill for testing?"
  • "I need help with commit messages"
  • "Get skills", "Search skills"
  • "Install a skill for API docs"
  • "What plugins are available?"
  • "Show me official plugins"
  • "Install the frontend-design plugin"

Auto-suggest when:

  • User struggles with a task that likely has a community skill
  • User asks "is there a better way to do X?"

For catalog questions:

  • Plugins → Load references/official-plugins.md
  • Community skills → Load references/community-skills.md

Prerequisites

Required:

  • Node.js installed (for npx skills CLI)
  • Internet connection

If npx not available:

  • Offer manual install instructions
  • Guide user to clone and copy skill folder

Process

Step 1: Understand Intent & Choose Source

When user mentions a need, determine if it's a plugin or skill need:

Need Source
Git commits, PRs, code review Official plugins
Frontend/UI work Official plugins (frontend-design)
Security concerns Official plugins (security-guidance)
Custom hooks Official plugins (hookify)
Domain-specific (testing, docs, APIs) skills.sh

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
