BLDG Skills

Matt Nicosia's skill library, published as a Claude Code plugin marketplace.

This repo is the source of truth. Do not treat ~/.claude/skills as the canonical copy.

Install

claude plugin marketplace add mattnicosia/bldg-skills
claude plugin install bldg-construction@bldg-skills

Install any plugin from the table below by name. A plugin is the install unit: one command brings in every skill inside it, and claude plugin update keeps it current. Nothing is copied into a second location, so nothing drifts.

Plugins

| Plugin | Skills | Whose | What it is | |---|---|---|---| | alex-hormozi | 8 | Alex Hormozi | Skills built on Alex Hormozi's frameworks: grand slam offers, lead magnets, lead machines and money models, with their interview companions. Mirror maintained by Matt Nicosia. | | bldg-agent-ops | 2 | | Running agents: session worksheets and workflow scaffolding. | | bldg-coding | 7 | | Coding skills: review, debugging, architecture and the caveman pass. | | bldg-construction | 17 | | Construction estimating: drawing indexing, scope of work generation in Excel and PDF, bid leveling, proposals and job folder setup. | | bldg-creative | 2 | | Creative work: image prompting, voice, and the gauntlet loop. | | bldg-distills | 12 | | Distilled one-page methods pulled out of longer sources. | | bldg-documents | 1 | | Document generation and release. | | bldg-house | 4 | | House build skills: project and site level-ups, page teardowns, and the cloud sync auditor. | | bldg-maker-school | 46 | | The Maker School library: growth, offers, funnels, outreach and operating skills. | | bldg-marketing | 25 | | Marketing: funnels, positioning, SEO, ads, content and speed to lead. | | bldg-social | 4 | | Social: posting, scheduling and the scroll-stop technique. | | bldg-strategy | 7 | | Strategy: idea scoring, prediction, competitive work and planning. | | bldg-website-design | 9 | | Website design and build: frontend design, motion, cloning and upgrades. | | corey-ganim | 3 | Corey Ganim | Corey Ganim's Build With AI set, v3.1.1, from Return My Time. Claude Cowork workspace onboarding, an AI readiness self-assessment on the Audit-Optimize-Automate framework, and a session context loader. The self-assessment is the paid, community-only version. | | matt-pocock | 37 | Matt Pocock | Matt Pocock's skill collection, mirrored at 1.3.1. TypeScript, testing, code review and the productivity set. Mirror maintained by Matt Nicosia; upstream docs in upstream/. | | pocock-guide | mod | | A side pane for beginners on Matt Pocock's flow: it shows the step you are on, what it is for, and one Next step button. It nudges you to grill an idea before asking for code. Install it beside matt-pocock, the v1.3.1 mirror above. The official marketplace's mattpocock-skills is older and lacks /implement-spec, /pr and /retro. It also stops Claude from running destructive git (pushing to main, force pushing, reset --hard, clean -f, branch -D, checkout ., restore ., gh pr merge); turn that off with the gitGuard option on a reviewer's machine. Open it with /mod-pocock. |

The plugins with a name in the Whose column are other people's work, mirrored here and named after their author so it is obvious at a glance whose thinking you are running. Each keeps its own plugin so it can be refreshed as a unit, and whatever upstream docs came with it live in that plugin's upstream/ folder.

corey-ganim is the paid, community version of Build With AI 3.1.1 from Return My Time. Its upstream repo no longer resolves publicly, so this mirror may be the only reachable copy.

Other tools

Plugins are a Claude Code mechanism. For Codex, Cursor or anything else that reads a SKILL.md folder, install.sh is the bridge:

./install.sh --list                 # every skill, as <plugin>/<skill>
./install.sh --library --link       # symlink them all into the local agent skill dirs

Use --link, not the default copy. A copy drifts from the repo; a symlink cannot.

Layout

    .claude-plugin/plugin.json      # name, description, version
    skills/<skill>/SKILL.md         # the skills themselves
    archive/                        # non-skill files that came with the category

Notes

• Ratio figures in plugins/bldg-construction/skills/sow-generator/references/trade-checklists.md are unverified placeholders, converted from metric source material written for another market. Replace them with BLDG Estimating job history and mark them VERIFIED. Until then any output using them must be labeled ESTIMATED -- unverified ratio.
• library/_ARCHIVE holds retired skills and is not part of any plugin.
