One-Command Installer

npx apex-skills

Detects Claude Code and/or Kiro CLI, clones the repo, and symlinks skills + steering automatically. Requires Node.js 18+ and git.

Steering Workflows

Phased multi-skill playbooks for complex operations:

  • EKS design → build → upgrade → operation review pipelines
  • New-skill creation workflow with eval loop
  • Extensible hub-and-spoke architecture

Evaluation Framework

  • Triggering evals (does the right skill activate?)
  • Task evals (does the skill produce correct output?)
  • Hygiene checks (frontmatter, SIBLING_MAP, file references)
  • CI-gated via GitHub Actions

Install

npx apex-skills

Or manually:

git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/sample-apex-skills.git
cp -r sample-apex-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
