Dev-Claude-Skills

CodeNinja's private catalog of Claude Code skills, shipped as a private npm package on GitHub Packages.

One command to browse and install skills into your Claude Code environment.

Public mirror (no auth required):

npx @waqasrana04/dev-claude-skills

CodeNinja internal (GitHub Packages, requires PAT):

npx @codeninjainc/dev-claude-skills

You get an interactive picker — choose a stack (MERN, Next.js, Dev Tooling, Official Anthropic, Community), multi-select the skills you want, and they land in ~/.claude/skills/ (or ./.claude/skills/ with --project).

What's inside

• skills/official/ — mirror of anthropics/skills
• skills/community/ — curated picks from skills.sh and vercel-labs
• skills/patterns/mern/ — MERN pattern skills (react-component, express-route, mongoose-model, jwt-auth, next-api-route)
• skills/patterns/nextjs/ — Next.js best practices (server components, data fetching, server actions, middleware, metadata)
• skills/patterns/architecture/ — DDD, atomic, clean, repository, event-driven
• skills/patterns/backend/ — REST API design, caching, DB migrations, microservices boundaries
• skills/patterns/testing/ — unit, integration, e2e (Playwright)
• skills/patterns/devtools/ — husky + lint-staged + prettier bootstrapper

Install the CLI

One-time auth — add a GitHub PAT with read:packages scope to ~/.npmrc:

//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=<YOUR_GH_PAT>
@codeninjainc:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com

Then:

npx @codeninjainc/dev-claude-skills        # interactive picker
npx @codeninjainc/dev-claude-skills list   # show catalog
npx @codeninjainc/dev-claude-skills add react-component jwt-auth

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md and docs/DEVELOPER-GUIDE.md. TL;DR:

1. Add a skill at skills/patterns/<stack>/<name>/SKILL.md (or a new source under sources/).
2. Open a PR — CI validates the frontmatter and lints the CLI.
3. Merge to main → pipeline publishes a new package version to GitHub Packages, org-wide.

Pipeline

• PR → validate skills + lint + manifest check + diff comment.
• Merge to main → rebuild manifest, bump version, publish to GitHub Packages, Slack/Teams notify.
• Weekly cron → pull upstream skill updates from anthropics/skills / skills.sh, open auto-PR.

See docs/PUBLISHING.md for the full flow.
