Installation¶

Two commands. No build step. No configuration.

Option 1: Clone & Copy (Recommended)¶

git clone https://github.com/jord0-cmd/jord0.skills.git
cp -r jord0.skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

That's it. All 12 skills are installed. Start a Claude Code session and use them immediately.

NOTIFY is the only skill with dependencies

NOTIFY needs BurntToast (WSL) or libnotify (Linux) for desktop notifications. Everything else works out of the box. See NOTIFY Setup below.

Option 2: Copy Individual Skills¶

Don't want all 12? Grab just the ones you need:

git clone https://github.com/jord0-cmd/jord0.skills.git
cp -r jord0.skills/skills/PORTAL ~/.claude/skills/PORTAL

Without cloning (curl)¶

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/PORTAL
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jord0-cmd/jord0.skills/main/skills/PORTAL/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.claude/skills/PORTAL/SKILL.md

Option 3: Direct Plugin¶

Load the entire repo as a plugin directory:

git clone https://github.com/jord0-cmd/jord0.skills.git
claude --plugin-dir ./jord0.skills

This loads all 12 skills for the current session. Make it permanent with a shell alias:

alias claude='claude --plugin-dir ~/path/to/jord0.skills'

Coming Soon: Plugin Marketplace¶

We've submitted to the Anthropic plugin marketplace. Once approved, you'll be able to install with:

/plugin marketplace add jord0-cmd/jord0.skills
/plugin install jord0-skills@jord0-skills

This will enable automatic updates via /plugin update. Watch the repo for announcements.

Verify Installation¶

Start a Claude Code session and run:

/help

Your installed skills should appear in the available skills list. Test one:

/strict

Should respond acknowledging the coding standards are loaded.

NOTIFY Setup¶

NOTIFY is the only skill with external dependencies. It sends real desktop notifications from Claude Code.

WSL (Windows)Ubuntu / DebianFedoraArchmacOS

Open PowerShell as Administrator
Install BurntToast:
```
Install-Module -Name BurntToast -Force
```
Verify:
```
Get-Module -ListAvailable BurntToast
```
Requires Windows 10 1903+ or Windows 11.

sudo apt install libnotify-bin

sudo dnf install libnotify

sudo pacman -S libnotify

No dependencies needed. Basic notifications only (no interactive buttons or progress bars).

Test NOTIFY¶

python3 ~/.claude/skills/NOTIFY/scripts/toast.py "Test" "NOTIFY is working"

You should see a desktop notification appear.

Storage Directories¶

Some skills create local directories for persistent data. These are created automatically on first use:

Skill	Directory	What's Stored
PORTAL	`portals/`	Context snapshots
RECON	`knowledge/research/`	Research reports
RECALL	`knowledge/`	Knowledge base index
ECHO	`echoes/`	Decision records

Cross-machine sync

Put these directories in a git-tracked location and they'll sync across machines. See the Cross-Machine Workflow recipe for details.
