Addy Osmani's Agent Skills

A third-party plugin from Addy Osmani with twenty-five skills for building software with a coding agent. Most follow the work from spec to launch: plan it, build in small steps, test as you go, review, debug, and ship. Others help along the way. They cover security, speed, monitoring, docs, git, and setting a quality bar your agent can't quietly lower. We didn't write it and haven't reviewed it.

Install

Install the plugin

Plugins install through Claude Code’s plugin marketplace. Two commands, no files to place by hand.

  1. 1

    Add the marketplace

    Run this once in Claude Code. It registers the marketplace this plugin installs from (addy-agent-skills), so every plugin in it becomes installable.

    /plugin marketplace add addyosmani/agent-skills
  2. 2

    Install the plugin

    Installs this plugin and everything it bundles. Restart Claude Code afterwards so it picks the new skills up.

    /plugin install agent-skills@addy-agent-skills

Addy Osmani publishes this plugin from his own addy-agent-skills marketplace. We list it here because it’s a real set of engineering skills people search for. We didn’t write it and haven’t reviewed it.

Most of the skills follow a change from start to finish. You write a spec and a plan, build in small steps, and test each step. Then you review the code, debug what breaks, and get it ready to ship.

Others cover the parts that are easy to skip: security, speed, monitoring, docs, and a clean git history. Some help when you’re not sure what you want yet. One refines a rough idea. Another interviews you until the real ask is clear. A few keep your agent honest, like checking its work against official docs and holding it to a written quality bar.
