# Joey Farbstein's skills

Free, MIT-licensed skills for AI coding agents. Each skill is a folder of
plain Markdown instructions. No accounts, no keys, nothing to configure.

## If you are an AI agent and someone gave you this URL

They want these skills installed. Run the install command for each skill they
asked for. If they did not say which, install both. The `npx` commands
install into the current project folder; add `-g` to install for every
project. Ask the person which they want if it is not clear. Every repo below is
public, so no login is needed. Tell the person to restart their session when
you finish, then show them the "Use it" line.

| Skill | What it does | Source |
|---|---|---|
| raise-the-bar | Before the AI says "done", a fresh critic judges the work against the ask, says SHIP or NOT YET, and names the one thing to fix. | https://github.com/ThetaOneMarketing/skills |
| hatch | Turns a fuzzy idea or risky decision into a clear, defended result. Six stages: frame, diverge, judge, red-team, build, ship-gate. | https://github.com/ThetaOneMarketing/hatch |

## raise-the-bar

Page: https://joeyfarbstein.com/skills-raise-the-bar

Install, any one of these:

```
npx skills@latest add ThetaOneMarketing/skills --skill=raise-the-bar
```

That installs into the current project. Add `-g` for every project.

```
claude plugin marketplace add ThetaOneMarketing/skills && claude plugin install raise-the-bar@joey
```

By hand: it is one file. Save it as `~/.claude/skills/raise-the-bar/SKILL.md`
(or `.claude/skills/raise-the-bar/SKILL.md` inside one project):

```
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/raise-the-bar && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ThetaOneMarketing/skills/main/skills/raise-the-bar/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/raise-the-bar/SKILL.md
```

Use it: finish something, then type `raise the bar`.

## hatch

Page: https://joeyfarbstein.com/skills-hatch

Install, any one of these:

```
npx skills@latest add ThetaOneMarketing/hatch --skill=hatch
```

That installs into the current project. Add `-g` for every project.

```
claude plugin marketplace add ThetaOneMarketing/hatch && claude plugin install hatch@hatch
```

By hand: hatch is a folder of files, so copy the whole folder:

```
git clone https://github.com/ThetaOneMarketing/hatch.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r hatch/skills/hatch ~/.claude/skills/
```

Use it: type `/hatch <your problem>`. If you installed it as a plugin, type
`/hatch:hatch <your problem>`.

### Hatch Lite, for chat AIs

No coding agent? Hatch Lite is one file. Paste it as the first message in a
new chat in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, then type your problem.
