git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mcollina/skills.git
cp -r skills/skills/node ~/.claude/skills/node # personal, or .claude/skills in a projectIn the Claude apps, zip the node folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).
ChatGPT / Codex
Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mcollina/skills.git
