Production-grade DSPy 3.2.x skills for coding agents. A synthesized, spec-compliant pack of five agent skills that turns Claude Code, Codex CLI, and any other agentskills.io-compatible agent into a DSPy expert.

• ✅ Validated against DSPy 3.2.1 (the real API, not inferred from stale docs)
• ✅ Single source of truth for both Claude Code and Codex CLI
• ✅ Progressive disclosure (short SKILL.md + deep reference.md)
• ✅ Runnable example_*.py scripts with offline --dry-run
• ✅ Includes a DSPy 3.2.x BetterTogether chaining example
• ✅ Plugin manifest + marketplace manifest for one-click install
• ✅ Validation tests for frontmatter spec, JSON schema, Python AST, skill-doc correctness, and version alignment

/plugin marketplace add intertwine/dspy-agent-skills
/plugin install dspy-agent-skills@dspy-agent-skills

The Vercel skills CLI currently expects a GitHub owner/repo, URL, well-known HTTPS endpoint, or local path as its source. The bare form npx skills add dspy-agent-skills is not resolvable unless the upstream CLI adds a source alias, so use intertwine/dspy-agent-skills.

git clone https://github.com/intertwine/dspy-agent-skills
cd dspy-agent-skills
./scripts/install.sh           # symlinks into ~/.claude/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/

Flags: --claude-only, --codex-only, --copy (copy instead of symlink), --uninstall, --dry-run.

Drop skills/* into ~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code) or ~/.agents/skills/ (Codex CLI). See docs/installation.md for all options.

In your agent, say:

"Build a DSPy sentiment classifier, optimize it with GEPA, and save the artifact."

The agent auto-loads dspy-advanced-workflow, which chains the other skills and outputs a full baseline → GEPA → export pipeline. No further prompting needed.

Three runnable demos under examples/ exercise every skill against real LMs and ship with committed baseline vs. GEPA-optimized numbers plus explicit 3.1.3 vs. 3.2.0 comparison notes.

The refreshed 01 and 02 artifacts use the paid pair openrouter/mistralai/ministral-3b-2512 + openrouter/qwen/qwen3-30b-a3b-instruct-2507. 03 stays on its historical DSPy 3.1.3 artifact because a clean DSPy 3.2.0 baseline on the same Liquid/Nemotron pair already reached 0.944, leaving little useful headroom for a replacement GEPA artifact. See examples/README.md and each example's version_comparison.md for the exact commands and caveats.

Every API claim is grounded in:

• https://dspy.ai/ (official docs, DSPy 3.2.x)
• https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills.md (Claude Code skill spec)
• https://developers.openai.com/codex/skills (Codex skill spec)

# Run validation suite
uv run --with pytest python -m pytest tests/ -v

# Smoke-test every example offline (no API key needed)
for f in skills/*/example_*.py; do uv run --with dspy python "$f" --dry-run; done

# Validate the current DSPy API surface used by these skills
env -u UV_EXCLUDE_NEWER uv run --with dspy==3.2.1 python scripts/check_dspy_surface.py

# Live GEPA run (requires OPENAI_API_KEY)
cd skills/dspy-advanced-workflow
OPENAI_API_KEY=... uv run --with dspy python example_pipeline.py --auto light

If uv run --with dspy resolves an older DSPy release instead of the current 3.2.1 wheel, check whether UV_EXCLUDE_NEWER or a stale package mirror is hiding the new release. The exact 3.2.1 override we validated for this repo is:

env -u UV_EXCLUDE_NEWER uv run --with dspy==3.2.1 python -c 'import dspy; print(dspy.__version__)'

• DSPy: 3.2.x (tested against 3.2.1; committed example artifacts remain explicitly labeled by the DSPy version that produced them)
• Claude Code: current (skill spec as of 2026-04-17)
• Codex CLI: current Agent Skills format
• Python: 3.10+
• Deno: required only for dspy.RLM examples (Pyodide sandbox)
