📚 Documentation


🚀 Installation

```bash
npm install @skene/skills-directory
```

Install Skills

```bash

Install all skills (Claude + Cursor)

npx skills-directory install --target all

Install for specific platform

npx skills-directory install --target claude
npx skills-directory install --target cursor

Check installation status

npx skills-directory status
```


🧪 Quick Start

For AI Agents (Claude Code, Cursor)

AI agents will automatically read:

  • `AGENTS.md` - Build commands and conventions
  • `.cursorrules` - Project-specific instructions
  • `mcp.json` - Model Context Protocol configuration

For Developers

```bash

Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/SkeneTechnologies/skene-cookbook.git
cd skene-cookbook

Option 1: Use dev container (recommended)

Open in VS Code/Cursor → "Reopen in Container"

Option 2: Manual setup

npm ci
pytest tests/ -v

Run evaluations

python3 eval_harness/run_evals.py

Verify metrics

npm run verify:metrics
```


🔒 Security

  • 5-layer protection system (gitignore, git attributes, pre-commit, custom validation, CI/CD)
  • Pre-commit hooks with `detect-secrets` enforced
  • No credentials in git history (verified by TruffleHog and Gitleaks)
  • Skills classified by risk level: Low, Medium, High, Critical

📊 Repository Stats

  • Skills: 764 (382 executable + 382 reference)
  • Skill Chains: 36 ready-to-use recipes
  • Test Coverage: 32.36% (unit tests: 97/97 passing)
  • Domains: 10 (PLG, marketing, sales, CS, security, scientific, etc.)
  • License: MIT

📝 Breaking Changes

Git History Rewritten

The git history has been cleaned to remove sensitive data. If you have an existing clone:
```bash

Backup any local changes first

git stash

Re-clone the repository

cd ..
rm -rf skene-cookbook
git clone https://github.com/SkeneTechnologies/skene-cookbook.git
cd skene-cookbook

Restore your changes

git stash pop # if you had local changes
```

New Configuration Files

  • `.cursorrules` - Read by Cursor AI automatically
  • `mcp.json` - Used by MCP-compatible AI agents
  • `.devcontainer/` - Used by VS Code/Cursor for dev containers

These files change the project structure but don't affect core functionality.
