Keenstone

Open-source skills that make your AI sharper.

Website · Distill · Install

Keenstone is a collection of Agent Skills: plain-Markdown instruction packs that teach an AI assistant a proven way to do something well. Each skill works in Claude (web, desktop, Cowork and Claude Code) and in any tool that supports the open SKILL.md standard, such as Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI. You can also paste one into ChatGPT or Gemini as custom instructions.

Skills

Skill	What it does
Distill	10 experts. 100 rules. Only what they agree on. Turns any problem into ranked rules, root principles and an action plan.

Install

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add shhadi/keenstone
/plugin install distill@keenstone

Claude (web and desktop): open Customize → Plugins, add the GitHub marketplace shhadi/keenstone, and install the skill from there.

Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents

npx skills add shhadi/keenstone --skill distill

ChatGPT, Gemini or any other chat AI: copy the skill's SKILL.md into your custom instructions (a Custom GPT, a Gem, or a project's instructions), then describe your problem.

Repository layout

.claude-plugin/marketplace.json   Catalog of every skill in this repo (Claude plugin marketplace)
site/                             The website, published to GitHub Pages
plugins/<name>/                   One plugin per skill
  .claude-plugin/plugin.json      Plugin manifest

  README.md, CHANGELOG.md
.github/workflows/                Website deploy and automatic releases

Every change lands through a pull request, so the history of each skill stays readable.

Releases

Each skill is versioned on its own, with tags named <skill>--v<version> (for example distill--v0.3.0). To release a new version, change two things in the same pull request:

1. Bump version in plugins/<skill>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json.
2. Rename the ## Unreleased heading in that skill's CHANGELOG.md to the new version.

When the pull request is merged, the Release skills workflow creates the tag and a GitHub release, using that changelog section as the release notes.
