Ape Skills

Skills for apes like us, so we can do our jobs better and make our lives easier.

Installation

Install a skill with `npx skills`.

npx skills add https://github.com/arpitbbhayani/ape-skills/tree/master/

For example, to install `ape-cut-fluff`:

npx skills add https://github.com/arpitbbhayani/ape-skills/tree/master/ape-cut-fluff

Or you can download the skill directory and copy it into your Claude skills folder:

cp -r ape-cut-fluff ~/.claude/skills/

Each subdirectory is a self-contained skill and can be installed individually.

Usage

Just say `ape ...` and the matching skill takes over. For example, `ape cut fluff` triggers the fluff-cutting skill.

You can also tag a skill explicitly with `/skill`, e.g. `/ape-cut-fluff`.
