OctoLab's catalog of agent skills that teach coding agents — Claude Code, Codex and others — to use OctoLab command-line tools.
Each skill ships with its tool: it lives in the tool's repository, is released with the binary, and the tool's release workflow copies it here, the same way octolab/homebrew-tap receives the binaries. A skill teaches an agent how to use a tool; install the tool itself separately.
Register the catalog once, then install the skills you need.
| Agent | Register | Install a skill | Update |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | claude plugin marketplace add octolab/skills |
claude plugin install <tool>@octolab |
claude plugin update <tool>@octolab |
| Codex | codex plugin marketplace add octolab/skills |
codex plugin add <tool>@octolab |
codex plugin marketplace upgrade octolab |
| Any agent, via skills.sh | — | npx skills add octolab/skills --skill <tool> |
npx skills update |
Install every skill at once with npx skills add octolab/skills --skill '*'.
Add -a claude-code -a codex to choose agents and -g to install for your user
instead of the current project.
A skill's version is the version of the tool it was written for, and it states
which binaries it supports in metadata.tool-version-range: up to the next
breaking release, which before 1.0 is the next minor version. A skill always
starts by checking the installed binary with <tool> version.
main holds the latest release of every skill, so updating a skill can move
it past what an older binary supports; the skill then tells the agent to use
the copy embedded in the binary instead. Codex upgrades registered catalogs
when a session starts; Claude Code does so only if you turn on auto-update.
Each release is also tagged <tool>--v<version>. To keep one skill on a
release (X.Y.Z stands for the version you need):
npx skills add 'octolab/skills#<tool>--vX.Y.Z' --skill <tool>Registering the catalog at a tag pins the whole catalog, every tool included:
claude plugin marketplace add 'octolab/skills#<tool>--vX.Y.Z' or
codex plugin marketplace add octolab/skills --ref <tool>--vX.Y.Z. Codex
refuses to change the ref of a catalog that is already registered: run
codex plugin marketplace remove octolab first.
A tool that embeds its skill installs the copy that matches the binary, offline:
<tool> skill install --agent claude-code or --agent codex.
Use one channel per agent. Two copies of a skill — say, a plugin and an installed copy — both load, and an outdated one can mislead the agent.
