Install Sam's Skills
Tease:Install one workflow or bring in Sam’s whole collection.Lede:The open Skills CLI installs one canonical skill at a time; the marketplace bundle installs every skill currently published here.Why it matters:The narrow path keeps agent context small, while the bundle makes Sam’s full toolkit available under one collection namespace.Go deeper:Use the real commands below, then invoke the skill by its standalone or bundled name.
See what is available
Section titled “See what is available”npx skills add thatguysam/skills --listThe current repository publishes zach-prompting and htma-measure.
Install one skill
Section titled “Install one skill”npx skills add thatguysam/skills --skill zach-promptingnpx skills add thatguysam/skills --skill htma-measureInstall the collection in Codex
Section titled “Install the collection in Codex”codex plugin marketplace add thatguysam/skillscodex plugin add htma-measure@thatguysam-skillsThe stable plugin install key predates the multi-skill collection. Installing it loads every canonical directory under skills/; individual Codex skill selectors remain $zach-prompting and $htma-measure.
Install the collection in Claude Code
Section titled “Install the collection in Claude Code”claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/ThatGuySam/skills.gitclaude plugin install htma-measure@thatguysam-skillsThe HTTPS repository URL avoids depending on a configured GitHub SSH key. The stable install key and the command namespace serve different purposes: installation stays compatible, while skills inside the bundle use the sam prefix.
| Skill | Standalone Claude Code | Bundled Claude Code | Codex |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zach Prompting | /zach-prompting | /sam:zach-prompting | $zach-prompting |
| HTMA Measure | /htma-measure | /sam:htma-measure | $htma-measure |
After updating an existing Claude installation, run /reload-plugins or begin a new session before using the new namespace.
Verify the installation
Section titled “Verify the installation”claude plugin list --jsoncodex plugin list --jsonFor file-level verification, each installed skill should contain the same SKILL.md and supporting resources as its canonical directory in the public repository.
