MengTo/Skills installation guide

Install MengTo/Skills for Claude Code on macOS Tahoe (Apple silicon)

What this repository is

**MengTo/Skills** is a library of portable, folder-based Agent Skills for design, frontend work, browser games, media sourcing, and reusable agent workflows. The repository describes each skill as a concise `SKILL.md` playbook, sometimes accompanied by references, articles, scripts, assets, or demos.

Claude Code classification

• **Mechanism:** context injection
• **Relationship to Claude Code:** optional skill/context library
• **Install mode:** Claude Code extension by copying or referencing selected skills
• **Setup effort:** low for Markdown-only skills; potentially higher for skills with scripts or external services
• **Confidence:** high

This classification is supported by the repository’s Claude Code guidance: reference a relevant skill from `CLAUDE.md`, copy it into a Claude skills setup, or open the selected `SKILL.md` directly as working context. No supplied file shows this repository adding an MCP server, hook, subagent runtime, model gateway, desktop interface, or executable Claude Code plugin. Its demonstrated extension mechanism is giving Claude Code task-specific written procedures.

Important limitation: there is no documented one-command installer

The repository says that install notes for Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor should be added once the preferred setup is stable. Therefore, the supplied first-party documentation does **not** support a package-manager command, marketplace command, shell installer, or fixed Claude skills directory.

Do not invent an installation command or assume a path such as a hidden folder in your home directory. The source-supported ways to use the collection with Claude Code are:

1. Open a specific `SKILL.md` as working context.
2. Reference the relevant skill from your project’s `CLAUDE.md`.
3. Copy the relevant skill folder into an existing Claude skills setup, if you already have one.

For a first-time or nontechnical user, opening one skill directly is the simplest and least disruptive option.

What you need

Before starting, have:

• A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS Tahoe.
• Access to the public repository at [https://github.com/MengTo/Skills](https://github.com/MengTo/Skills).
• Claude Code already available if you intend to use the skills in Claude Code.
• A project or task for which one of the skills is relevant.

The supplied repository files do not document how to install Claude Code itself, so that separate installation is outside this guide. They also do not state a minimum Claude Code version.

The base library is mainly Markdown and folders, so the evidence shows no Apple-silicon-specific binary, compiler, Rosetta requirement, or macOS package dependency. Individual skills can describe optional technologies or external services. For example, the ElevenLabs TTS skill uses an API key and a Python helper script, while web-design skills discuss libraries such as Three.js, GSAP, Vanta.js, and Matter.js. Selecting a skill does not automatically install those technologies.

Step 1: obtain the repository through GitHub

Open the public repository in your web browser:

[https://github.com/MengTo/Skills](https://github.com/MengTo/Skills)

Use GitHub’s normal download interface to download the repository as a ZIP archive. This avoids introducing an undocumented cloning command. After the download finishes:

1. Open Finder.
2. Go to **Downloads**.
3. Double-click the ZIP file if macOS has not already expanded it.
4. Move the expanded repository folder somewhere you can find it, such as a project-support folder in Documents.

The exact expanded folder name can vary, so this guide does not assume one.

Step 2: understand the folder layout

Open the repository folder in Finder. The skills are under `agent-skills`, organized into categories. The README reports 123 skills across five categories:

• `agent-skills/codex` — operational workflows such as reference analysis, browser capture, performance profiling, and voice generation.
• `agent-skills/game-development` — browser-game architecture, combat, assets, performance, testing, and release workflows.
• `agent-skills/media` — image-sourcing workflows.
• `agent-skills/ui` — design-first UI prompting.
• `agent-skills/web-design` — landing pages, styling, animation, WebGL, Three.js, and visual systems.

Each usable skill has a required `SKILL.md`. A skill folder may also contain:

• `REFERENCES.md` for links;
• `ARTICLE.md` for longer explanation;
• `assets` for supporting files;
• `scripts` for optional helpers;
• `demo` for visual or interaction examples.

Keep a selected folder together when it contains these supporting files. Copying only `SKILL.md` can omit references, scripts, assets, or demonstrations that the skill links to.

Step 3: choose the narrowest relevant skill

Do not load all 123 skills for every task. The repository explicitly recommends reading the narrowest matching skill first.

Examples:

• For professional timeline or scroll animation, start with `agent-skills/web-design/gsap/SKILL.md`.
• For a complete WebGL scene, start with `agent-skills/web-design/threejs/SKILL.md`.
• For utility-first interface styling, use `agent-skills/web-design/tailwindcss/SKILL.md`.
• For a lightweight globe, use `agent-skills/web-design/cobejs/SKILL.md`.
• For a complete playable action-RPG slice, use `agent-skills/game-development/build-isometric-arpg/SKILL.md`.
• For browser-game testing, use `agent-skills/game-development/test-playable-web-games/SKILL.md`.

The game-development README includes a selection table and explains boundaries between related skills. Consult it before combining several game skills.

If you are comfortable with Terminal and have already navigated into the downloaded repository folder, the repository supplies this command as the source-of-truth listing of skill files:

find agent-skills -name SKILL.md | sort

This command only lists and sorts matching files. It does not install, modify, or execute any skill.

Step 4: use a skill directly in Claude Code

The safest documented setup requires no permanent installation:

1. In Finder, navigate to the selected skill folder.
2. Open its `SKILL.md` and review the description and “When to use” section.
3. Open your project in Claude Code.
4. Make the selected `SKILL.md` available as working context for the task.
5. Ask Claude Code to use that skill for the work you are requesting.

This direct-context method follows the repository’s explicit Claude Code guidance and lets you test a skill before making it part of a project setup.

Treat each skill as a procedure, not as software that has already installed its examples or dependencies. Code blocks in a skill can be implementation recipes rather than installation commands. Use them only when they match your project and request.

Step 5: optionally reference a skill from `CLAUDE.md`

For repeated use in one project, the repository supports referencing the relevant skill from `CLAUDE.md`.

Because the supplied documentation does not prescribe the wording, path syntax, or a command for editing that file, make this change manually:

1. Locate your project’s existing `CLAUDE.md`.
2. Add a clear reference to the selected skill or skill folder.
3. Preserve the complete skill folder if it has linked supporting material.
4. Start a new Claude Code task and confirm that the intended skill is being used.

Do not create or edit `CLAUDE.md` with an invented shell command. If your project has no established `CLAUDE.md` workflow, continue using the direct-context method instead.

Step 6: optionally copy into an existing Claude skills setup

The README also permits copying a skill into a Claude skills setup, but it does not document the setup’s filesystem location. If you already have a working Claude skills arrangement, use its established location and conventions. Copy the entire selected folder with Finder rather than guessing a hidden path or running an unsupported command.

If you do not already have such a setup, skip this option. Directly opening `SKILL.md` remains fully consistent with the repository’s instructions.

Verify the setup

Verification is simple because the base integration is contextual:

1. Confirm that Claude Code can access the chosen `SKILL.md`.
2. Ask for a task that clearly matches its stated trigger.
3. Check whether the response follows the skill’s workflow, defaults, pitfalls, and acceptance checks.
4. If supporting files are referenced, confirm that they remained beside `SKILL.md`.
5. If results are too broad, remove unrelated skills and keep only the narrowest matching one.

There is no documented repository-wide test or installation-status command.

Updating or removing the skills

To update a browser-downloaded copy, return to the GitHub repository, download a current ZIP, and replace your old copy after preserving any local changes. The metadata identifies `main` as the default branch, but the supplied files do not document a user-facing update command.

To remove the integration:

• Stop attaching or opening the skill as context.
• Remove its reference from your project’s `CLAUDE.md`, if you added one.
• Delete any copied skill folder from your pre-existing Claude skills setup.
• Delete the downloaded repository folder if you no longer need it.

No uninstaller is required for the Markdown-only direct-context approach.

Safety and scope notes

• Review a skill before using it, especially if it includes scripts, API calls, third-party CDN resources, or account configuration.
• Do not assume every example is a macOS installation step.
• Do not place secrets in the repository. The ElevenLabs skill specifically keeps API keys and account-specific profiles outside the reusable skill.
• External libraries and services may have their own prerequisites, accounts, costs, and compatibility constraints; those are not installed by this repository.
• The repository is MIT-licensed according to its metadata and README.

At this point, the collection is ready for its documented Claude Code use: select a narrow `SKILL.md`, provide it as working context, and apply it only to a matching task.
