the CLI for working with Claude Collective skills. it's the entry point for everything: installing skills, creating stacks, and creating custom skills and subagents

npx @claude-collective/cli init

what this does

Claude Code is okay out of the box, but it doesn't know your stack. the skills repository has 80+ in-depth modules covering react, hono, drizzle, posthog, and a lot more. each skill is atomic, comprehensive, and composable into agents and stacks

the CLI is how you work with all of it:

install skills as plugins or locally into your project
create stacks by bundling skills with a modular agent approach
scaffold new skills when you need something custom
set up your own marketplace if you're building for a team or org

getting started

# run the wizard - picks skills, sets up agents
npx @claude-collective/cli init

# or install globally
npm install -g @claude-collective/cli

requires node 18+ and Claude Code.

how skills work

a skill is focused knowledge for one technology. not surface-level docs but actual patterns, edge cases, the things you'd normally have to explain repeatedly

skills live in the claude-collective/skills repository, organized by category:

category	what's there
web	react, vue, angular, solidjs, next.js, remix, nuxt, scss-modules, cva, zustand, pinia, ngrx-signalstore, jotai, react-query, swr, trpc, graphql, react-hook-form, zod, shadcn-ui, radix-ui, tanstack-table, vitest, playwright, cypress, msw, framer-motion, storybook, accessibility
api	hono, express, fastify, drizzle, prisma, better-auth, posthog, resend, axiom+pino+sentry, github-actions
mobile	react-native, expo
cli	commander, oclif, yargs, clack, inquirer, ink
infra	turborepo, tooling, env config
meta	code reviewing, research methodology, investigation requirements, anti-over-engineering, context management

stacks

stacks bundle skills together with pre-configured agents. instead of picking 20 skills individually, grab a stack that matches your setup:

nextjs-fullstack - next.js + react + hono + drizzle + posthog + zustand + react-query
angular-stack - angular 19 + signals + ngrx signalstore + hono + drizzle
vue-stack - vue 3 composition API + pinia + hono + drizzle
nuxt-stack - nuxt + vue 3 full-stack + pinia + hono + drizzle
remix-stack - remix + react + hono + drizzle
solidjs-stack - solidjs + hono + drizzle
react-native-stack - react native + expo + zustand + react-query
meta-stack - agents for creating agents, skills, docs, and extracting patterns

each stack includes agents like web-developer, api-developer, web-reviewer, web-tester, web-researcher, pattern-scout, documentor - roles that use the right skills for the job.

installation options

as a plugin (recommended for personal use):

cc init
# interactive wizard lets you choose: plugin mode, local mode, or marketplace setup
# plugin mode installs to ./.claude/plugins/claude-collective/

locally in your project (for team sharing):

cc init
# select "local" mode in the wizard
# installs to ./.claude/ in your repo

your own marketplace (for orgs):

cc init
# select "marketplace" mode in the wizard
# scaffolds a marketplace you can customize and host

creating custom skills

if the existing skills don't cover what you need:

cc new skill my-custom-skill

this scaffolds the structure. a skill is just markdown with examples - no special tooling required.
