stylusnexus / agent-plugins

Skills for agents that have to ship something.

agent-plugins is an open-source (MIT) plugin marketplace from Stylus Nexus: ten plugins and 62 skills that install natively into Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, and into about seventy other coding agents through the Skills CLI. Eight are skill packs for building, shipping, deciding what to build, and getting it noticed; two are tools.

Skill packs

Eight packs, grouped by the job rather than the technology. Each pack's README carries a rule-ownership table, so the skills inside it don't compete for the same trigger. Dashed chips are agents, which run in Claude Code.

The daily loop: read the issue, ground assumptions in the live database, prove it works, then review, merge, and promote. One issue or a batch.

The last mile: turning agent output into something a person wants to read, and getting their judgment back.

Built on one premise: a single model's confident answer is not evidence. Councils, arbitration, and specs checked against the actual codebase.

hardening

6 skills

The unglamorous pre-launch gates: a missing rate limit, an unsigned webhook, a compromised transitive dependency.

release-ops

5 skills

Deciding the version, waiting on CI, publishing, and keeping dependencies current between releases.

Building an accurate picture of a codebase, and the libraries it leans on, before committing to a change.

product-strategy

14 skills · 2 agents

Deciding what to build and why: vision, strategy, value, objectives, roadmaps, and discovery. A chief PM that teaches as it goes and labels evidence apart from assumption.

go-to-market

12 skills · 2 agents

Getting a product noticed on a small team's hours: positioning, copy, launches, community, outreach, email, and measurement. It drafts; it never posts or sends for you.

Tool plugins

Two plugins ship executable code rather than markdown, so they live in their own repositories and install from there.

work-plan

CLI + viewer

Track-aware daily planning over GitHub issues: shared tracks, AI clustering, coverage, and dependency-aware next-up. Pure-stdlib Python CLI plus an accessible VS Code viewer with a repo-qualified dependency graph.

defect-scan

15 languages

Language-aware defect hunter. Detects the stack, triages files by risk, runs the real analyzers (ruff, mypy, tsc, eslint, rubocop, brakeman), then reports findings in confidence tiers, correlated against existing issues.

Installing

Add the marketplace once, then take whichever packs you want. Plugins run code on your machine, so review a plugin's source before installing it.

Claude Code

Install in Claude Code

Terminal, VS Code, and JetBrains extensions share one config, so one install covers all three.

/plugin marketplace add stylusnexus/agent-plugins
/plugin install ship-pipeline@stylus-nexus

Skills carry the pack name: /ship-pipeline:prove-it. To get updates automatically, open /plugin → Marketplaces → stylus-nexus → Enable auto-update.

Codex

Install in Codex

CLI, app, and IDE extension. Codex reads its own index, so the same marketplace works unchanged.

codex plugin marketplace add stylusnexus/agent-plugins
codex plugin add ship-pipeline@stylus-nexus

Type $ship-pipeline:prove-it or run /skills. In the ChatGPT app, type @. To update, run codex plugin marketplace upgrade stylus-nexus, then the add command again.

~70 more

Install in Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI and more

Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Zed, opencode, Cline, Continue, Hermes, Goose, Warp, Aider and more. Detects which agents you already have.

npx skills add stylusnexus/agent-plugins
npx skills add stylusnexus/agent-plugins --skill prove-it deploy

Skills arrive without the pack name: /prove-it. Update with npx skills update. Covers all eight skill packs.

These packs have opinions.

They're repo-agnostic: every skill detects your conventions rather than assuming them, and defers to a repo-local version of itself when your project defines one. They still hold a point of view: evidence before "done", detect rather than assume, one rule per owner. Each README states the opinion plainly, so you can tell quickly whether it fits how you work.

Questions

How do I install agent-plugins in Claude Code?

Run /plugin marketplace add stylusnexus/agent-plugins, then /plugin install ship-pipeline@stylus-nexus for each pack you want. Skills then carry the pack name, as in /ship-pipeline:prove-it.

How do I install agent-plugins in Codex?

Run codex plugin marketplace add stylusnexus/agent-plugins, then codex plugin add ship-pipeline@stylus-nexus for each pack you want. Invoke a skill with $ship-pipeline:prove-it, or run /skills.

How do I install agent-plugins in Cursor, Copilot, or another agent?

Run npx skills add stylusnexus/agent-plugins. The Skills CLI detects which agents you have and writes the skills into each one; add --skill and skill names to take only some.

How do I keep agent-plugins up to date?

In Claude Code, enable auto-update for the stylus-nexus marketplace under /plugin, Marketplaces. In Codex, run codex plugin marketplace upgrade stylus-nexus, then add each pack again. With the Skills CLI, run npx skills update.

What is ship-pipeline?

ship-pipeline is the agent-plugins skill pack for the daily loop: it reads the issue, grounds assumptions in the live database, proves the change works, then reviews, merges, and promotes it, for one issue or a batch.

Why is a skill called /prove-it in one agent and /ship-pipeline:prove-it in another?

Claude Code and Codex plugins prefix skills with the pack name. Skills installed through the Skills CLI or npm have no prefix.
