villagesql-skills

Agent skills for working with VillageSQL. Skills run in Claude Code, agy, Codex, Cursor, Amp, Kiro, OpenCode, and OpenClaw.

Skills

More skills will be added here over time.

Prerequisites

The skills drive a live VillageSQL server on your machine. Install one as a prebuilt binary or a source build via the server installer:

curl -fsSL https://install.villagesql.com | bash

The villagesql/server Docker image carries the extension SDK, a C++ toolchain, and a vsql-build-extension.sh helper, so you can build and install an extension inside a container. What it does not carry is mysql-test-run.pl, the MTR orchestrator, so vsql-extension-builder cannot complete its test phase there — that phase needs an installer or source build on the host. See each skill’s README for its full requirements.

Installing

Quick install

curl -sSL https://villagesql.com/skills | bash

Detects which agents are installed and configures each one. Supports Claude Code, agy, Codex, Cursor, Amp, Kiro, OpenCode, and OpenClaw. Re-running updates in place.

Override locations with env vars:

VILLAGESQL_SKILLS_SRC=~/code/villagesql-skills \
CLAUDE_SKILLS_DIR=~/.claude/skills \
  curl -sSL https://villagesql.com/skills | bash

Claude Code plugin

From the official Claude Code plugin marketplace:

/plugin install vsql-extension-builder@claude-plugins-official

Or add this repo as a marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add villagesql/villagesql-skills
/plugin install villagesql@villagesql

Manual install (recommended for contributors)

Claude Code

git clone https://github.com/villagesql/villagesql-skills.git ~/code/villagesql-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
ln -s ~/code/villagesql-skills/skills/vsql-extension-builder ~/.claude/skills/vsql-extension-builder

Verify the skill is loaded by typing / in Claude Code — the skill name should appear in the slash command list.

agy

git clone https://github.com/villagesql/villagesql-skills.git ~/code/villagesql-skills
mkdir -p ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/plugins
ln -s ~/code/villagesql-skills ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/plugins/villagesql

agy reads plugin.json and discovers skills from the skills/ subdirectory.

OpenCode

git clone https://github.com/villagesql/villagesql-skills.git ~/code/villagesql-skills
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/skills
ln -s ~/code/villagesql-skills/skills/vsql-extension-builder ~/.config/opencode/skills/vsql-extension-builder

OpenClaw

git clone https://github.com/villagesql/villagesql-skills.git ~/code/villagesql-skills
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills
ln -s ~/code/villagesql-skills/skills/vsql-extension-builder ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/vsql-extension-builder

To update later (all agents share the same clone):

git -C ~/code/villagesql-skills pull

Skill layout

Each skill follows the standard Agent Skills directory layout:

skills/
└── /
    ├── SKILL.md           # entry point — frontmatter, workflow, gates
    └── references/        # detailed material loaded on demand
        └── *.md

SKILL.md is loaded eagerly when the skill triggers and stays thin and procedural. Detail-heavy material (standards, checklists, environment commands) lives in references/ and is read by the agent only when the relevant phase needs it.

Contributing

Issues and pull requests welcome. For substantive changes — new skills, workflow restructuring, new references — open an issue first to discuss the shape before writing the skill.

A few conventions:

• Keep SKILL.md thin. If a section exceeds a screen, ask whether it belongs in references/ instead.
• Reference files describe process and principles, not specific API names — names should be discovered from live sources during the workflow, not hardcoded in the skill.
• Match the voice of existing skills: terse, imperative, no marketing language.

Testing changes locally

The quick installer clones the repo to ~/.local/share/villagesql-skills/ and symlinks skills from there into your agent directories — not from your working clone. If you used the quick installer, your agent reads that managed copy, not your working branch.

To test local changes, re-point the Claude Code symlink directly to your clone:

rm ~/.claude/skills/vsql-extension-builder
ln -s ~/code/villagesql-skills/skills/vsql-extension-builder ~/.claude/skills/vsql-extension-builder

Branch switches are then live immediately. When you’re done, re-running the quick installer restores the managed copy.

If you add a new file to references/, call it out in your PR description — a maintainer will update the quick-install script to include it.
