Release Skills Version License

Language-agnostic agent skills for git/GitHub workflows, code quality, and project tooling — with first-class JS/TS support. Each skill ships with modular, independently editable rules for deep, opinionated guidance.

Why These Skills

  • Language-aware, JS/TS-first — Skills detect the project's language and adapt. The general workflow/audit skills work in any language; the ecosystem tooling (setup, deps, testing) is polyglot — JS/TS is the best-supported path, with Python and Go covered via per-language references/.
  • Modular rules architecture — Each skill ships with standalone rule files in rules/ directories. Rules can be added, removed, or edited independently without touching the main skill logic.
  • Opinionated audit workflows — Skills like security, github-actions, tailwind, and refactor produce structured severity-graded reports, then auto-fix issues.
  • Secret scanning built in — The commit, security, and setup skills enforce secret detection as a first-class concern (GitLeaks by default, TruffleHog accepted).
  • Convention-aware — Skills detect your project's existing conventions (language, commit format, package manager, project structure, git host) and adapt automatically.

Skills

Install the plugin for your agent, then invoke skills through that agent's native skill or command interface.

Git

Skill Description
commit Clean git commits with conventional commit detection and secret scanning
create-branch Create and checkout a branch with naming validation and GitHub/GitLab issue linking

GitHub

Skill Description
create-pr Push branch and create a pull/merge request (GitHub or GitLab) with structured description and auto-assignment
github-issues Create, update, query, and comment on issues (GitHub, or GitLab via glab)
github-actions Create and audit GitHub Actions workflows with SHA pinning, permissions, and caching checks

Code Quality

Skill Description
deps Harden the dependency supply chain — detects the ecosystem (JS/TS, Python, Go) for pinning, vulnerability scanning, and CI gates
refactor Audit and refactor code for dead code, deep nesting, and design patterns (language-agnostic; TS/JS idiom rules for TS/JS files)
security OWASP Top 10 security audit with secret detection and dependency vulnerability scanning
tailwind Audit and fix Tailwind CSS v4 anti-patterns for spacing, 8px grid, mobile-first, and GPU animations
testing Write and run unit/component tests — detects the language and test runner (JS/TS, Python, Go)

Project

Skill Description
setup Set up the ecosystem's lint/format/git-hooks/secret-scanning toolchain — detects the language (JS/TS, Python, Go)
project-structure Audit project directory structure for colocation, grouping, and anti-pattern detection
naming-format Audit and fix filename and export naming conventions for consistency
update-project Update and maintain CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, README.md, agents, skills, and rules to match current project state

Xcode Skills

The separate xcode-skills collection contains seven skills authored by Apple and exported with xcrun agent skills export from Xcode 27.0 (build 27A5218g). The exported directory is published unchanged; Tartiner Labs maintains only the plugin wrapper and marketplace metadata outside it.

Skill Description
adopt-c-bounds-safety Adopt and debug the C bounds-safety language extension
audit-xcode-security-settings Audit and enable security-oriented Xcode build settings
device-interaction Verify apps on a device or simulator through screenshots and UI interaction
modernize-tests Modernize XCTest and Swift Testing suites
swiftui-specialist Apply Apple's SwiftUI best practices
swiftui-whats-new-27 Use SwiftUI APIs and migration guidance for SDK 27
uikit-app-modernization Modernize UIKit apps for multi-window environments

Install the collection through its native plugin identity:

# Codex
codex plugin add xcode-skills@tartinerlabs

# Claude Code
claude plugin install xcode-skills@tartinerlabs

# Direct installer
pnpm dlx skills add https://github.com/tartinerlabs/skills/tree/main/xcode-skills

In Codex and Claude Code, skills use the xcode-skills:<skill-name> namespace. In Cursor, install xcode-skills from the tartinerlabs marketplace.

The guidance can be read by any compatible agent, but some workflows expect Xcode's agent runtime, including Xcode project tools, device interaction, or subagent support. Those workflows require Xcode or equivalent runtime capabilities.

Agents

Agents invoke skills autonomously with an isolated worktree. Invoke with claude agent run <name>.

Agent Description
deps Autonomous supply chain hardening — runs the deps skill in an isolated worktree and outputs a structured summary

Installation

Claude Code Plugin

claude plugin install tartinerlabs/skills

Codex Plugin

This repository includes repo-scoped Codex plugin metadata in plugins/tartinerlabs/.codex-plugin/plugin.json and .agents/plugins/marketplace.json.

To use it in Codex:

  1. Open this repository in Codex
  2. Restart Codex if needed so it reloads the repo marketplace
  3. Open the plugin directory and install tartinerlabs from the repo marketplace

Cursor Plugin

This repository includes Cursor plugin metadata in plugins/tartinerlabs/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json and .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json.

For local development, install the plugin with Cursor's plugin flow or copy the repository into Cursor's local plugin directory:

mkdir -p ~/.cursor/plugins/local
ln -s "$(pwd)" ~/.cursor/plugins/local/tartinerlabs

The shared skills/ directory is exposed to Cursor directly. Claude-specific hooks are intentionally not declared in the Cursor manifest.

Skills

Install all skills:

pnpm dlx skills add tartinerlabs/skills

Install a single skill:

pnpm dlx skills add tartinerlabs/skills/commit

Install a subset for specific workflows:

# Git and GitHub workflow skills only
pnpm dlx skills add tartinerlabs/skills/commit
pnpm dlx skills add tartinerlabs/skills/create-branch
pnpm dlx skills add tartinerlabs/skills/create-pr
pnpm dlx skills add tartinerlabs/skills/github-issues

# Security-focused subset
pnpm dlx skills add tartinerlabs/skills/security
pnpm dlx skills add tartinerlabs/skills/commit
pnpm dlx skills add tartinerlabs/skills/setup

Context7

pnpm dlx ctx7 skills install /tartinerlabs/skills --all --universal

OpenCode

Note: The OpenCode plugin is currently in Beta and might not work.

Add to opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": ["@tartinerlabs/skills"]
}

Plugin Metadata

Plugin manifests are maintained manually on purpose.

Each plugin lives in its own plugins/<name>/ wrapper holding the three per-channel manifests plus a skills symlink; both plugins/tartinerlabs/ and plugins/xcode-skills/ use this identical shape, and every marketplace references its plugins as ./plugins/<name>.

  • Codex metadata lives in plugins/tartinerlabs/.codex-plugin/plugin.json and .agents/plugins/marketplace.json
  • Claude metadata lives in plugins/tartinerlabs/.claude-plugin/plugin.json and .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
  • Cursor metadata lives in plugins/tartinerlabs/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json and .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json
  • Antigravity metadata lives in plugins/tartinerlabs/.antigravity-plugin/plugin.json
  • The separate Xcode collection is wrapped by plugins/xcode-skills/, which links to the untouched xcode-skills/ export
  • package.json.version is the shared source of truth across plugin manifests; semantic-release syncs manifest versions during release

Architecture

Skills use a modular rules pattern, with per-language guides loaded on demand. Each skill directory contains:

skills/<name>/
  SKILL.md          # Skill definition with frontmatter; detects the language and routes
  rules/            # Independent, editable rule files (universal checks + the JS/TS path)
    some-rule.md    # Severity, examples, fix instructions
  references/       # Per-language guides, loaded only when that language is detected
    python.md       # e.g. the Python path for setup/deps/testing
    go.md           # e.g. the Go path

agents/<name>.md    # Optional Claude Code agents that invoke skills autonomously

For the polyglot skills (setup, deps, testing), SKILL.md detects the project's language from its manifest and loads only the matching guide — JS/TS lives in the first-class modular rules/, and other ecosystems live in references/<lang>.md, so a JS project never loads Go content.

This means you can:

  • Customise a rule's severity or examples without forking the skill
  • Add project-specific rules by dropping a new .md file in rules/, or a new language by adding references/<lang>.md
  • Remove rules you disagree with

Skill Format

Each skill is a directory with a SKILL.md file following the Agent Skills spec.
