Skills — dzhng

Skills — dzhng is a public MIT-licensed TypeScript repository of reusable AI-agent skills for software-development workflows. Its composable modules cover idea exploration, specification writing, implementation, code review, visual review and autonomous research, and can be installed with the skills CLI or copied into a compatible agent harness.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when an AI-agent workflow needs structured exploration, living specifications, repeated implementation and review, or experimental research rather than a single unstructured coding prompt.

Who it is for

  • Developers building software with Claude Code, Codex, opencode, Cursor or another skills-compatible harness.
  • Teams or individuals assembling specification-driven software-factory workflows.
  • Developers who need reusable research, implementation or review skills in a project.

Documented uses

  • Map uncertain requirements before implementation.
  • Turn explored decisions into a written feature specification.
  • Drive an implementation loop from a specification.
  • Review implementation choices, code and visual output.
  • Run experiments to compare approaches and produce a parameter-effect map.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and MIT-licensed. The README documents installation through npx, clone-based npm scripts and copying skill folders into a compatible harness.

  • Harness compatibility matters: the repository states that it works with Claude Code, Codex, opencode, Cursor and other harnesses that support skills.
  • The full workflow spans exploration, specification, implementation and review; individual skills can also be selected or copied separately.
  • Clone-based installation supports home-directory or repository targets and includes --only and --dry-run options.
  • The autonomous research workflow expects a defined evaluator, metric, baseline or improvement target; the skill asks for clarification when these are unclear.
  • The repository describes re-slicing plans when implementation makes a specification stale and consolidating implementation choices for review.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install the skills into a project

Set up the repository’s skills in a home directory or target project, with optional selection of named skills.

Before you start

  • A clone of the repository for the documented npm-based installation path.
  • A compatible agent harness that supports skills.
  • Node.js tooling capable of running the documented npm commands.

Steps

  1. Run the command below to install into ~/.agents/skills, linked from ~/.claude/skills.

    Documented command
    npm run install-skills
  2. Alternatively, run the command below to target a repository.

    Documented command
    npm run install-skills -- ../my-app
  3. Use the command below to select named skills.

    Documented command
    npm run install-skills -- --only write-spec,review ../my-app
  4. Run the command below to view available names and categories; use --dry-run to inspect the installation plan first.

    Documented command
    npm run list-skills

Expected outcome

The selected or complete skill set is placed in the documented skills locations, with the repository’s `.agents/skills` and `.claude/skills` arrangement used for Claude-compatible access.

Guide limitations

  • The supplied instructions do not document the complete syntax for every --list use case.
  • The setup steps do not establish compatibility with a particular harness beyond the repository’s stated skills-support requirement.
