Skills for your coding agent

Give Claude Code or Codex taiku's own skills, so it can set you up, move your projects over, or build a plugin, and keep them current as taiku changes.

taiku comes with a few skills for coding agents: short instruction files an agent loads when a task matches. With them installed, you can ask Claude Code or Codex to "set me up with taiku" or "move my projects onto taiku" and it follows taiku's own steps instead of guessing.

SkillWhat it helps the agent do
taiku-getting-startedInstall taiku, sign in, start and share a first session
taiku-migrateMove one project, a second computer, or a whole laptop onto taiku
taiku-plugin-authoringBuild a taiku plugin with the SDK and get it loaded in a session
taiku-session-launchStart a session and hand back a link the agent can drive
taiku-verifyCheck that something it set up in taiku actually works

Install them

taiku skills install

This writes them into ~/.claude/skills and ~/.codex/skills, for whichever of the two you use on this machine (Claude Code if neither is set up yet). Name skills to install only some, and add --for claude, --for codex or --for all to choose the agent.

See where you stand

taiku skills

Each skill is listed per agent as current, out of date, changed by you, or not installed. If taiku.live runs a newer taiku with newer skill text than your CLI has, it says so.

Keeping them current

Every installed skill records which taiku release wrote it. When you update taiku, however you updated it, the next time you run it outside a taiku session (starting a session, taiku update and so on) it brings installed skills up to that release and tells you which ones it changed. It never installs a skill you did not install.

To get newer text from taiku.live before your next CLI update:

taiku skills update --from-server

A skill you edited yourself is never overwritten. taiku skills shows it as changed by you; pass --force to install or update if you want taiku's copy back.

Removing them

taiku skills remove

This removes taiku's copies and leaves any skill you changed, or wrote yourself under the same name.
