職人 · Shokunin

62 engineering skills + persistent AI memory. One command. Zero servers.

v4.2.3 adds freshness decay (time-weighted memory), claim verification (verify_file_path MCP tool), 12 MCP tools (was 8), and 30+ bug fixes.

職人 (shokunin) means artisan in Japanese. These skills aim for that standard: every detail crafted, every edge case handled, every workflow automated.

Ecosystem

OpenCode + VS Code + WezTerm
  62 skills + superpowers plugin + 4 subagents

  AI: OpenCode Go (default) + Ollama (local fallback)
  Update system: declarative manifest with drift detection
  Windows (PowerShell) + Linux (bash)

Skills

62 skills across 10 domains. Each skill teaches the agent how to handle a specific domain: with decision tables, error patterns, production checklists, anti-patterns, and cited sources. Not generic prompts. Real engineering guides.

The Docker skill is 1,422 words with a multi-stage Node.js template, BuildKit cache optimization, distroless base images, and CVE scanning. The auth skill references OWASP directly. The database one has real EXPLAIN ANALYZE output. Frontend skills include Emil Kowalski patterns (Sonner, Vaul), Paul Bakaus principles (Impeccable), and Leon Lin variance engines (Taste). Skills are validated by CI on every push: frontmatter, workflow, error handling, sources. All mandatory.
