What it does
A set of skills from the author's working `.claude/skills/` folder. The core is the PIV loop: prime the codebase, plan, implement, validate, review, commit and open a PR. `piv-run-full-loop` runs the chain from one feature description. Alongside sit `prime-*` for loading the right context, `plan-*` for PRDs and architecture, `piv-investigate-issue` for root-cause analysis of a GitHub issue, `worktree-create` and `worktree-merge` for parallel work and meta-skills for building your own layer of rules, hooks and skills.
Who it is for. Claude Code developers who want a repeatable order of work from plan to review instead of one-off prompts.
Good fit when
- A large feature must be sliced into tickets and run through plan, build and check.
- A GitHub bug is analyzed on evidence rather than a hunch.
- Several branches run in parallel through git worktrees.
- You want your own set of rules and skills, not someone else's framework.
Not a fit when
- You need a rigid ready framework that needs no edits.
- The agent does not read the `.claude/skills/` folder.
- The task is a single edit and the chain is too heavy.
Example request
Take this feature through the PIV loop: prime on the repo, plan, implement, validate and prepare a PR.Limitations
The author calls the skills his own working set and advises reading and editing them. They are built around his agentic coding course. The plugin installs read-only, editable files come through `npx skills add`. Some skills open PRs and write to GitHub. The `piv-create-pr` and `piv-review-pr` skills write to GitHub and need configured access. They rest on the author's conventions, so in another project read and adjust them before the first run.
How to disable. Run `/plugin uninstall skills@cole-medin` or delete installed skill folders from `.claude/skills/`.
FAQ
How do I call a plugin skill?
With a namespace: `/skills:piv-implement`.
What if the plugin will not install over SSH?
On a `Permission denied (publickey)` error pass the HTTPS URL: `/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/coleam00/skills.git`, or set `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS=1`.
Can I take only some skills?
Yes. `npx skills add coleam00/skills --skill piv-plan-implementation piv-implement piv-validate` installs a chosen few.
Is the whole set needed for the loop?
No, but the loop core is `piv-plan-implementation`, `piv-implement` and `piv-validate`.
What does `plan-create-prd` do?
It interviews you into a problem-first PRD with no engineering decisions. Stack and data shape go to `plan-architecture`.
