Code Generation Skills

A collection of skills for creating and running code generators using ribosome framework

Installation

Install with the skills CLI — it works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and other agents:

# Install both skills into the current project (./.claude/skills/)
npx skills add DavidValin/codegen-skills

# Install globally, for every project (~/.claude/skills/)
npx skills add DavidValin/codegen-skills -g

# Preview what the repository contains without installing
npx skills add DavidValin/codegen-skills --list

# Install a single skill
npx skills add DavidValin/codegen-skills --skill run-ribosome-codegen

# Non-interactive install, e.g. in CI
npx skills add DavidValin/codegen-skills --skill '*' -g -a claude-code -y

Other useful commands:

npx skills list                        # show installed skills
npx skills remove create-ribosome-codegen run-ribosome-codegen

Manual installation

Copy the skill directories into your agent's skills directory:

git clone https://github.com/DavidValin/codegen-skills
cp -r codegen-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

Requirements

Both skills drive Ribosome, which must be installed separately. Pick the script matching the control language you generate with, make it executable and put it on your PATH:

Control language	Script
JavaScript	ribosome.js
Ruby	ribosome.rb
Python	ribosome.py

curl -L -o ~/.local/bin/ribosome.js \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sustrik/ribosome/804e945655a92847b1eb2934ae6f78d19366181e/ribosome.js
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/ribosome.js
ribosome.js --version

Verify a skill is available by asking your agent to run a Ribosome generator, or with npx skills list.

Skills

Create Ribosome Code Generator

Creates reusable Ribosome-based code generators that accept input data and generate source code or other text artifacts.

• Create Ribosome Code Generator

Run Ribosome Code Generator

Runs an existing Ribosome code generator with input data and handles the resulting generated output.

• Run Ribosome Code Generator

Workflow
