wondelai-skills: 65 Business and Craft Skills Distilled from Bestselling Books

Your agent has read the engineering canon; it has never run a design sprint, priced an offer, or run the Mom Test on your assumptions. wondelai/skills fixes the other half of the shelf: 65 agent skills for Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agentskills.io-compatible agents — 51 expert frameworks distilled from bestselling books and style guides, plus 14 metaskills that orchestrate them into guided journeys.

Why This Skill Matters

The catalog spans ten plugin collections: product strategy (Jobs to Be Done, the Mom Test, Negotiation), UX design (Refactoring UI, iOS HIG, Hooked, Lean UX), marketing and CRO (StoryBrand, Contagious, 1-Page Marketing), sales and influence (Predictable Revenue, $100M Offers), product innovation (Lean Startup, Design Sprint, Inspired), strategy and growth (Crossing the Chasm, Blue Ocean Strategy, Obviously Awesome), team motivation (Drive), code craftsmanship (Clean Code, Pragmatic Programmer, Working with Legacy Code), systems architecture (DDIA, Release It!, Clean Architecture) — and the metaskills that tie them together.

The metaskills are the differentiator. Each one is a guided journey — create, improve, or grow a business, website, or app; remove technical debt; optimize a conversion flow — that asks you the decision questions phase by phase and keeps its state in your project's docs/ folder, so a journey survives across sessions instead of dying with the context window.

Installation

Add the marketplace and install the collections you need:

/plugin marketplace add wondelai/skills
/plugin install metaskills@wondelai-skills
/plugin install product-strategy@wondelai-skills

Or pull everything through the standard installer:

npx skills add wondelai/skills --all --global

Individual skills work too — npx skills add wondelai/skills/jobs-to-be-done --global — and the whole catalog is browsable at skills.wondel.ai.

Real Workflow: Run a Guided Journey

1. Install the metaskills collection plus the topical collections your journey needs — the growth journey draws on strategy and marketing frameworks.
2. Start the journey in your agent ("help me grow my website" for the growth metaskill). It interviews you phase by phase, asks the decision questions, and writes its state into docs/ as it goes.
3. Close the session whenever you like. Next session, the journey picks up where it left off — the state file, not the chat history, is the source of truth.

Tips

• Install collections, not the whole pack: ten collections cover very different jobs, and the README's comments tell you which books live in each.
• The code-craftsmanship and systems-architecture collections overlap with the engineering books you may already have as rules — pick one source of truth per book.
• Pair a metaskill with its frameworks: the journey orchestrates, the individual skills deep-dive when you want the full model.

When Not to Use This

Book frameworks compress judgment into checklists; they are starting structure, not strategy — the Mom Test script still can't interview your customers for you. And if your only need is the engineering side, the code collections duplicate ground other rule packs cover; the distinctive value here is the business half.
