rsc — 231 agent skills, one CLI, zero bloatA self-recommending skill catalog for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & Gemini. Describe what you want in plain language. It reads your repo, installs only the skills that fit — one at a time — and keeps your assistant equipped as you work.
From "document my company" to "ship a FastAPI service" to "grow my YouTube channel" — 231 skills across 21 domains, every one researched against live 2025-2026 sources and adversarially scored ≥ 8.5/10 before it shipped.
npx rsc # plain-language wizard — no jargon, installs what your project needs
Most skill packs dump hundreds of files into your context and call it a day. This one is the opposite bet:
fastapi without ever pulling go. Nothing you don't use touches your context.rsc consult) and the chat
(rsc-suggest, an always-on detector) watch what you're doing and propose the
next skill the moment a task needs it — a one-word confirm installs it.02-DOCS/ knowledge loop that learns from your own results.scripts/skill-rubric.md, written before any skill existed). The bar was
real: skills that scored 8.0 were sent back and fixed, not waved through.skills/<name>/ is the single source of truth. There are no bundles to argue
over: you start with a tiny floor and grow one piece at a time.
npx rsc # no install step — runs the latest published catalog
Run it inside any project and describe what you want. Working on the catalog itself? Clone and link:
git clone https://github.com/ericrisco/skills.git ~/rsc-skills
cd ~/rsc-skills && npm install && npm link
The first run installs the floor — orient + rsc-suggest (always-on) +
harness + init — and, in Claude Code, wires a SessionStart hook so your
assistant proposes new skills on its own from then on.

Two faces, one catalog (manifest.json):
rsc / rsc consult rank the catalog against your words
(an FTS index over each skill's description + tags), merge that with what they
detect in your repo, and expand via each skill's recommends.rsc-suggest is a tiny always-on skill. When a task would
benefit from a skill you don't have, it names it and (one-word confirm) runs
rsc add <id> for you. It's the floor — installed with every profile.Repo detection maps real signals to skills: package.json + next → nextjs;
go.mod → go; pyproject.toml → fastapi; *.sql/prisma/ → postgresdb;
Dockerfile/.github/ → docker/github-actions; and so on. An empty repo
just asks in plain language.

harness is the Karpathy chaos→knowledge engine — a
01-TOOLS/layer (one folder per provider, each with a workingtest_connection) and a02-DOCS/self-improving wiki. It governs software or a whole company. orient is the always-on compass that keeps a non-technical human oriented after every step.

skills/<name>/ is the source; the installer writes the right format for your
IDE (auto-detected, or --target):
| Target | Destination | Always-on detector |
|---|---|---|
claude | ~/.claude/skills/rsc/<id>/ | SessionStart hook in settings.json |
cursor | .cursor/rules/<id>.mdc | always-apply rule |
codex | .codex/rsc/<id>/ + AGENTS.md | block in AGENTS.md |
gemini | .gemini/rsc/<id>/ + GEMINI.md | block in GEMINI.md |
Each skill is a directory under skills/<name>/ whose SKILL.md frontmatter
drives both triggering and the installer's recommendations:
---
name: my-skill
description: Use when [specific triggers]… Triggers: 'phrase', 'frase'. NOT x (that is sibling).
tags: [keyword, keyword] # what the consult advisor searches over
recommends: [sibling-skill] # what the system offers to install next
profiles: [core, full] # optional: named-profile membership
origin: risco
---
The full agent-skill spec lives at agentskills.io/specification.
skills/<name>/ is the single source of truth — every skill is authored
there, once. After editing any skill:
npm run manifest # regenerate manifest.json from skills/*/SKILL.md
npm run validate # ajv-validate frontmatter + check recommends integrity
npm test # unit + integration tests
bash scripts/eval-lint.sh # validate every skills/*/evals/cases.yaml
manifest.json is generated, never hand-edited; CI runs npm run manifest:check
and fails if it's stale or the skill count drifts. Adding a skill is: create
skills/<id>/SKILL.md with tags + recommends, run npm run manifest, done —
the rubric to hold it to is scripts/skill-rubric.md.
