About the Book

There are thousands of agent skills on GitHub, and most come with a short README written for developers. Finding out whether one fits your work means installing it, running it, and cleaning up when it does not.

This guidebook does that sorting for you. It picks 53 skills worth your time across business, marketing, data analysis, design, development, operations, agent workflows, and vibe coding, and runs each one in both Claude Code and Codex.

Every skill chapter gives you the same five things, in the same order:

  1. Who it fits: situations rated good, okay, or poor fit, with a reason for each
  2. Install: the commands for Claude Code and for Codex
  3. First run: what to type and what the skill does step by step
  4. What makes it useful, and what to watch out for
  5. Sources: repository, license, and the files quoted

Foundation chapters explain agents, skills, subagents, MCP, and hooks in plain language, show how the two tools read the same SKILL.md, and walk you through sharing one skill folder between them. A roadmap by role (planning, design, development, marketing, operations, research) tells you which skills to read first.

Who it is for: developers, indie hackers, and solo founders who use Claude Code or Codex and want to stop writing the same instructions every session.

About 280 pages. Reference versions: Claude Code v2.1.273 and Codex v0.153.4. This is the English edition of a guidebook first published in Korean in September 2026.

PDF and EPUB. Pay what you want from $19 (suggested $29). You get every future edition free: both tools change fast, and the book is revised as they do. Leanpub refunds 100% within 60 days.
