Agent playbooks,
loaded on demand.
Nock Skills is the open-source library of operational patterns for AI agent fleets: handoff protocols, review pipelines, and standing orders, packaged as SKILL.md files an agent loads exactly when it needs them.
Animated demo: an agent runs npx skills add nocktechnologies/nock-skills; a SKILL.md file streams in and loads into the agent's context window.
Patterns that
just work.
Each skill is a plain Markdown file, versioned, reviewable, and committed to your repo so policy ships with your code.
When a task is marked done, write the brief and notify the next agent: the protocol does it, every time.
# handoff-protocol when: task complete do: brief + notify next
Multi-stage review pipelines (verify, critique, approve) run before anything merges to main.
# review-pipeline stages: verify, critique gate: approve to merge
Durable rules every agent follows. Commit once; the whole fleet obeys from the next boot.
# standing-orders rule: verify before merge rule: log every decision
From install
to first skill loaded.
Nock Skills is a repo of SKILL.md files. Add them with the Skills CLI, copy a folder into your project, or clone the repo and point your agent at a SKILL.md by path.
Get the skills
Run npx skills add nocktechnologies/nock-skills to install them into your agent's skills folder, or git clone the repo into ~/.claude/skills/nock-skills.
Add a skill to your project
Copy a skill folder into .claude/skills/ in your repo. Commit it like any other file.
Call a skill when you need it
Name the skill in your prompt, run it as a slash command if your setup supports it, or point the agent at its SKILL.md path.
Write your own
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md. Author one the same way and keep it next to the rest.
Install
One line. No accounts. No telemetry.
# clone into your Claude Code skills folder $ git clone https://github.com/nocktechnologies/nock-skills ~/.claude/skills/nock-skills # or use the Skills CLI $ npx skills add nocktechnologies/nock-skills # after a clone, point your agent at a skill by path Use the skill at ~/.claude/skills/nock-skills/scope-guard/SKILL.md
One fleet.
Same playbooks.
These skills were extracted from running our own fleet of 25 named agents.
Stop reinventing
the workflow.
Ship a playbook.
The rest of the fleet.
Nock Skills is the playbook. It sits alongside the fence, the memory, and the dashboard that runs the fleet.
Filesystem, network, and secret fencing for AI agents. Every limit stated per platform.
