Skein — Development skill for Claude Code
Every agent running across every repository, grouped by project — and a read-only door so the agents can check who else is in a file before they write it.
How to install Skein
This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no
exact command to give. Open rambaarde/skein and copy the folder into
~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.
What Skein does

README
skeins
**Every agent running across every repository, grouped by project — and a read-only door so the agents can check who else is in a file before they write it.**
Two agents, one repo. One edits `src/auth/session.ts`; twenty minutes later the other rewrites the same function from a stale picture. Neither could have known.
Dashboards scope to the **session**. You work in **projects**, and collisions happen *between* sessions — where a session-shaped tool cannot look.
No daemon. No account. No telemetry. Nothing leaves the machine.
npm i -g skeins

The one line that is the product
Everything else here is a dashboard, and five other tools already have one. This is the part none of them can do — injected into an agent's session before it writes, without anyone asking for it:
