Skills by Mike Reams

Agent skills for enterprise architecture and engineering review, the originals from mikereams.com/ai. Each folder is a SKILL.md (plus any files it uses) that works with Claude Code and other agents that read the open skill format.

Install

With the skills CLI (installs into the current project; add -g for every project):

npx skills add solventarchitect/skills --skill capability-mapping

Or copy a folder into your agent's skills directory, for example .claude/skills/capability-mapping/. Read a skill before you install it.

Install as a Claude Code plugin

The nine Blueprint Catalog skills also come as one plugin, blueprint-catalog, which sets up the catalog's read-only MCP server with them, so there is nothing to configure:

/plugin install blueprint-catalog --marketplace solventarchitect/skills

That one line needs Claude Code 2.1.275 or later. On an older version, add the marketplace first:

claude plugin marketplace add solventarchitect/skills
claude plugin install blueprint-catalog@solventarchitect

The plugin holds the skills marked CC BY 4.0 below. The MIT skills install with the skills CLI, as above.

The nine CC BY 4.0 skills use the Blueprint Catalog, a free capability catalog, through its read-only MCP server or HTTPS API. They need no key and nothing to install.

Where these come from

This repo is a mirror. Each skill has one published copy, on mikereams.com/ai or the Blueprint Catalog, and scripts/sync.mjs copies it here from the list at mikereams.com/ai/skills.json. Don't edit a skill here. Change it at its source, then run:

node scripts/sync.mjs           # update the copies here
node scripts/sync.mjs --check   # exit 1 if anything here differs from the source

Licence

MIT (see LICENSE), except where a folder has its own LICENSE.md or NOTICE: the nine Blueprint Catalog skills are CC BY 4.0 (keep the credit and source link), and code-review bundles third-party parts listed in its NOTICE.
