zstackEngineering workflows for Codex, Claude Code, and Hermes

Quick install ​

Install Git, uv, and your chosen host first; uv resolves Python 3.14+ and the installer's dependencies. Clone the library; linked installations need a stable checkout path:

git clone https://github.com/fullerzz/agent-skills.git "$HOME/Code/agent-skills"
cd "$HOME/Code/agent-skills"

Use the native plugin commands for your host. Start a new host session afterward. Existing linked users should follow the Codex or Claude Code migration steps first.

claude plugin marketplace add "$PWD"
claude plugin install zstack@zstack-local

uv run scripts/package_plugin.py
codex plugin marketplace add "$PWD"
codex plugin add zstack@zstack-local

hermes plugins install fullerzz/agent-skills --no-enable
hermes plugins enable zstack

In Hermes, ask to load zstack:how with skill_view. Decline any Node dependency prompt; the plugin does not need the docs site's dependencies. See Hermes setup for installation from a draft PR and manual checks.

Select zstack:how in the Codex skill picker or invoke /zstack:how in Claude Code to check discovery. Review Codex hook trust separately; installation does not activate z-mode. See plugin setup, updates, and removal for Codex and Claude Code.

The linked installer supports both hosts with --host both and project scope with --project "/absolute/path/to/project". It installs native agent copies; the Codex plugin does not. See updates and safe removal before moving a linked checkout.
