skills
45 skills for Claude Code that make content — and refuse to let it read like a machine made it.
Prose editing that strips the tells. Prompt engineering for 40+ image, video and
music models, with optional one-command execution against the real APIs. And
orchestrators that carry a job the whole way: research question → carousel →
published post; raw price list → a proposal styled from the client's own website.
Russian-first, English throughout. Plain markdown, MIT, no required dependencies.
The writing tools, with before-and-after examples in English, Russian, Portuguese
and Spanish: mikefluff.com/skills.
The writer linter also runs in the browser, nothing installed and nothing sent
anywhere: paste a text and see the phrases that give a model away, in
English,
Russian,
Spanish and
Portuguese.
What it actually does
The same cold email, before and after cold-email → writer:
Subject: Quick question
Hi Patricia,
I hope this email finds you well! My name is David Kim and I'm the co-founder
and CEO of Nimbus, a B2B SaaS startup that's been disrupting the
developer-tools space for the past 22 months.
I've been a longtime admirer of your work at Magnet Ventures, and I was
incredibly impressed by your recent investment in DevForge. Given the
synergies I see between our work and your portfolio, I wanted to reach out
personally to introduce myself.
We've been growing rapidly — we now have a number of enterprise customers and
significant ARR. […]
Subject: $2.1M ARR in dev tools — fit for Magnet?
Hi Patricia,
Saw the DevForge round — congrats on leading. We're in an adjacent wedge:
pre-merge code-review automation for engineering teams of 20-200. $2.1M ARR
over 22 months, 12 enterprise customers including Stripe, Datadog, and
Cloudflare.
Raising A in Q3. Worth 20 min next week to see if Magnet would be a fit?
Happy to send the deck cold either way.
Best,
David Kim

Every cut is attributable to a rule, not to taste — "I hope this email finds you
well" to banned-patterns.md §Ceremony openers, the 24-word bio to
structure.md §Block 1. The full pair with every delta
is in the repo, along with three more.
There is also an offline linter, so the same rules can gate a commit with no API
call and no model in the loop:
$ python3 ~/.claude/skills/writer/scripts/lint.py draft.md
writer-lint: borderline (3 hits)
gate passed: no hard bans.
Hits:
L1:42 [caution] GPT_FILLER "it's important to note"
L2:30 [caution] GPT_FILLER "Let's dive into"
L6:1 [caution] AI_BRIDGE 'Moreover'
Exit codes are hook-shaped, so style-check can run it on staged files and stop
the commit — pre-commit walkthrough.
How it fits together
One skill does the prose work — writer — and eleven others
route through it rather than restating its rules. viral-text knows about hooks
and platforms; it does not know about em-dashes, because writer does. The same
shape holds for media: nine skills build on image-prompt.
That is the whole architecture. 45 skills: 1 base, 22 wrappers, 3 linters,
14 orchestrators, 3 meta.
Install
# Plugin marketplace — inside Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add Mikefluff/skills
/plugin install mikefluff-skills@mikefluff
# Curl — 5 seconds, no deps
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mikefluff/skills/main/install.sh | bash
The plugin route keeps the skills updatable from inside Claude Code
(/plugin marketplace update); the curl route drops them straight into
~/.claude/skills/. Either works — don't run both, or every skill appears twice.
Other methods (npm, Homebrew, Docker, local checkout, pinned version, custom prefix): docs/INSTALL.md.
Skills appear after Claude Code session restart. Discovery is automatic via the name: and description: fields in each skill's frontmatter — no ~/.claude/settings.json edits required.
API keys (for --execute mode — entirely optional): manage via /skills-keys add OPENAI_API_KEY ... inside Claude Code, or copy .env.example to ~/.skills.env. See Managing keys below.
