Skills For Real Engineers
A set of agent skills for coding tools such as Claude Code and Codex that encode the author's day-to-day engineering practices.
Skills For Real Engineers is a collection of agent skills the author uses for real engineering work rather than open-ended prompting. The skills are designed to be small, easy to adapt and composable, and are described as working with any underlying model.
The skills install in two ways: as a managed, read-only Claude Code plugin that updates automatically, or through a separate skills.sh installer that copies editable skill files directly into a project so they can be modified. Installing both leaves every skill duplicated, so the project recommends picking one approach.
After installation, a setup skill asks the user which issue tracker to use (GitHub, Linear or local files), which labels to apply when triaging tickets, and where to save any documentation the skills create.
