A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Yarstack is a workflow stack for disciplined coding agents. It helps an agent frame ambiguous work, plan safely, implement with strict maintainability standards, review quality and risk, ship through CI, and leave useful project context behind.
Built for engineers who want agent help without losing control of scope, code quality, or dirty worktrees.
Shipping skills check dirty-worktree scope and stage only confirmed paths by default.
Yarstack turns broad requests into repeatable engineering passes:
| Surface | Status | Install path |
|---|---|---|
| Individual skills | Available now | npx skills add https://github.com/yarlson/skills/tree/main/<skill-name> |
| Full Yarstack core plugin | Available now | claude plugin install yarstack-core@yarstack |
| Claude plugin marketplace | Available now | claude plugin marketplace add yarlson/skills |
| Direct repo clone or vendoring | Available now | Clone this repo and copy the skill folders your agent host supports |
claude plugin marketplace add yarlson/skills
claude plugin install yarstack-core@yarstackIndividual skill names use the yarstack-* namespace to avoid collisions with generic installed skills from other catalogs.

Each skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file: YAML frontmatter plus a prompt that defines the agent's workflow. Some skills also include scripts or templates for deterministic operations.
Install the specific skills you want, then invoke them by describing the work. Examples: "review my changes", "write an implementation plan", "review my infra code", or "document this critical user journey".
scripts/validate-skills.shRun this before release-oriented skill changes. It checks skill directory shape, SKILL.md frontmatter names, per-skill README titles and install links, root README references, and core plugin skill paths.
