How theeranon/jamesskills works
JamesSkills is a portable library of AI collaboration workflows, distributed as Claude Code plugins and made available to other AI hosts. The user-facing path is a person invoking a skill or command, then receiving guided reasoning, research, coaching, or a deliverable; some workflows consult registered knowledge lenses or offer interactive tools over MCP. The README documents three distinct pillars and further skills beyond sampled source. The graph preserves these documented capabilities, while edges are limited to relationships directly supported by excerpts or README statements; most prompt-driven skill handoffs are not source-verified.
