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 |

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:
- Bump
version in plugins/<skill>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json.
- 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.
