Install Code

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill code

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads code when the request matches its description.

03

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the code skill”. In Codex, type $code.

Code Harness

When this skill triggers, call the code tool from the ejentum MCP server. Pass a 1-2 sentence framing of WHAT you are coding or reviewing as the query argument. Include the failure risk to avoid where possible.

Good query: review a Python refactor that converts raise UserNotFound to silent default return; tests still pass Bad query: look at this code

The tool returns a structured scaffold containing:

  • [CODE FAILURE]: engineering failure pattern to avoid
  • [ENGINEERING PROCEDURE]: steps to follow
  • [REASONING TOPOLOGY]: decision flow
  • [CORRECT PATTERN]: shape correct code should take
  • [VERIFICATION]: self-check
  • Amplify: and Suppress: signals

Absorb internally. Do NOT echo bracket labels in the user-facing reply. Apply the scaffold's failure-pattern check against your draft before responding; if your code exhibits the named failure, rewrite.

If the API is unreachable, proceed with native engineering. The scaffold enhances; it is not a hard dependency.

Latency cost: ~1 second. Benefit: catches the kinds of behavioral changes and silent contract violations that look plausible but break under real conditions.

Tips for Code

  • • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
  • • It is part of a pack with 30 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
  • • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.

Questions about Code

What does the Code skill do?

Use BEFORE generating, refactoring, reviewing, or debugging code. Trigger phrases include "write a function/script/class for X", "review this code/diff/PR", "refactor this", "debug this error", "is this implementation correct", "what's wrong with this code", "improve this code", "translate from X to Y", or any prompt with a code block the user wants you to act on.

How do I install Code?

Run "npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill code" in your project. The skills CLI installs it for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ other agents. In Claude on the web, upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Customize > Skills.

Does Code work in Cursor and Codex?

Yes. Code uses the open SKILL.md format, so it works in Claude Code, Claude, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and other agents that support agent skills.

Is Code free?

Code is open source on GitHub under the MIT license. It is free to install; check the license before commercial use.

Who made Code?

Code is published by jeremylongshore in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository, together with 29 other skills.
