CodeAlive Skills

Agent skills and Claude Code plugin for CodeAlive — install via skills.sh or as a Claude Code plugin.

Available Skills

Skill Description
codealive-context-engine Semantic code search and AI-powered codebase Q&A across indexed repositories

Installation

Claude Code users: the recommended installation method is Option 2 (Plugin) — it includes the skill plus authentication hooks and a code exploration subagent.

Option 1: Skills (universal — 30+ agents)

Works with Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Codex, Goose, Amp, Roo Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and others.

npx skills add CodeAlive-AI/codealive-skills@codealive-context-engine

Or copy the skills/codealive-context-engine folder into your agent's skills directory:

Agent Project scope User scope
Claude Code .claude/skills/ ~/.claude/skills/
Cursor .cursor/skills/ ~/.cursor/skills/
GitHub Copilot .github/skills/ ~/.copilot/skills/
Windsurf .windsurf/skills/ ~/.codeium/windsurf/skills/
Gemini CLI .gemini/skills/ ~/.gemini/skills/
Codex .codex/skills/ ~/.codex/skills/
Goose .goose/skills/ ~/.config/goose/skills/
Amp .agents/skills/ ~/.config/agents/skills/
Roo Code .roo/skills/ ~/.roo/skills/
OpenCode .opencode/skill/ ~/.config/opencode/skill/
OpenClaw skills/ ~/.openclaw/skills/

Option 2: Claude Code Plugin

For Claude Code users, this repository also serves as a plugin marketplace with Claude-specific enhancements.

/plugin marketplace add CodeAlive-AI/codealive-skills
/plugin install codealive@codealive-marketplace

Option 3: MCP Server

For deeper integration, install the CodeAlive MCP server — it gives your agent direct access to CodeAlive's tools via the Model Context Protocol. The skill and MCP server complement each other: the MCP server provides tool access, the skill teaches the agent how to use it effectively.

Option 4: Share the Claude Code plugin with another agent

If you already use the Claude Code plugin and want Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, or another skill-aware agent to consume the exact same skill files, install the plugin bridge — a tiny launchd agent (macOS) or systemd --user path unit (Linux) that keeps a symlink from the other agent's skills directory into the plugin's versioned cache. It re-links automatically on claude plugin update.

cd tools/plugin-bridge
./install-macos.sh

See tools/plugin-bridge/README.md for configuration and Linux instructions.

Setup

After installing the skill, run the interactive setup:

python setup.py

This will ask for your API key, verify it, and store it securely in your OS credential store.

API Key Storage

The API key is resolved in this order:

  1. CODEALIVE_API_KEY environment variable
  2. OS credential store:
