Deep Thought Skills — Productivity skill for Claude Code

deep-thought-skills

The `dt-*` workflow skills, packaged as a Claude Code plugin so every machine runs the same set.

They used to live in two hand-copied trees on one laptop: `~/Documents/claude-skills` for editing and `~/.claude/skills` for running. This repository is now the only copy. An edit is a commit, and every other machine picks it up with `claude plugin update`.

**Private on purpose.** Two skills carry internal LeoVegas detail: `dt-pr-slack-message` holds the `#pt-sports-frontend-prs` channel id and two colleagues' Slack ids, and `dt-test-account` holds internal staging hostnames and the testapp endpoint. Do not make this repository public with those in it.

Install

claude plugin marketplace add Casm101/deep-thought-skills

claude plugin install deep-thought@deep-thought-skills

`deep-thought@deep-thought-skills` reads as `@`. `Casm101/deep-thought-skills` is the GitHub repo and is used only by `marketplace add`.

Or declaratively, in `~/.claude/settings.json` (see [examples/consumer-settings.json](./examples/consumer-settings.json)):

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "deep-thought-skills": {
      "source": { "source": "github", "repo": "Casm101/deep-thought-skills" },
      "autoUpdate": true
    }
  },
  "enabledPlugins": { "deep-thought@deep-thought-skills": true }
}

The repo is private, so `autoUpdate` needs a token to authenticate at startup. Add `export GH_TOKEN=…` to `~/.zshrc`, or skip it and update manually with your normal `gh` login.

One-time, on the machine that already has them

Installing the plugin while `~/.claude/skills/dt-*` still exists gives you **every skill twice**, and the two copies drift the moment you edit one. Retire the local ones. This moves rather than deletes, and skips `dt-memory`, which is a symlink and stays:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills-retired && for d in ~/.claude/skills/dt-*; do [ -L "$d" ] || mv "$d" ~/.claude/skills-retired/; done
