Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when an agent task calls for deliberate investigation, analysis, validation or iterative improvement; the README says direct-execution tasks do not trigger downstream skills.
Who it is for
- AI-agent builders adding reusable reasoning methods to existing assistants.
- Users of supported agent hosts who want structured procedures for research, prioritization, feedback and self-review.
Documented uses
- Prompt an agent to gather information before reaching a conclusion.
- Help an agent identify a complex problem’s main contradiction and focus effort.
- Give an agent procedures for validating plans, incorporating feedback and reviewing completed work.
- Coordinate multiple methods through workflow combinations.
Requirements & limits
- The README documents an npx installer, a Claude Code marketplace route and manual copying of skill directories.
- The entry skill is described as automatically injected at session start after installation, with other skills loaded when appropriate.
- Manual command files are intended for assistants that support Markdown slash commands; other assistants can open the corresponding files directly.
- The repository specifies an MIT license and JavaScript as its primary language.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install Qiushi-Skill with the npx installer
Install the skill collection for a supported host using its interactive installer.
Before you start
- Node.js for the npx installation method.
Steps
Run the command below to detect installed hosts and write the skills to the corresponding directories.
npx qiushi-skillAlternatively, specify a host and scope with the command below.
npx qiushi-skill install --target claude-code --scope userFor multiple hosts, use the command below.
npx qiushi-skill install --target cursor,codex,opencode,openclaw,hermes,nanobot --scope userRun the command below to check the installation.
npx qiushi-skill validate
Expected outcome
The skills are installed for the selected host or hosts, and the documented validation command is available to check the installation.
Guide limitations
- The repository documentation lists supported targets and their native directories in its platform guide.
- Without Node.js, the documented alternative is to copy directories under
skills/into the host's skills directory; this recipe does not specify individual host directory paths.
Install Qiushi-Skill through Claude Code Marketplace
Add the Qiushi-Skill marketplace and install the collection in Claude Code.
Before you start
- Claude Code with support for its marketplace and plugin commands.
Steps
Run
/plugin marketplace add HughYau/qiushi-skill.Run
/plugin install qiushi-skill@qiushi-skill.After installation, the entry skill is described as automatically injected at the start of each session.
Expected outcome
Qiushi-Skill is installed through Claude Code Marketplace, with its entry skill set to load at session start.
Guide limitations
- This installation route is specifically documented for Claude Code.
- The documented session behavior describes automatic entry-skill injection; it does not establish that every downstream skill is loaded automatically.
