About
Kensio Software is a UK software company run by Hugh Grigg. We build and publish open-source tooling for coding agents - chiefly Claude Code skills, packaged so that an agent picks the right one up at the right moment and follows it without being told twice.

Why we publish these
The problem
The same explanation, every week
A coding agent will follow house conventions perfectly well once you have described them. The cost is that you describe them again on the next task, and the next, and the description drifts each time.
The shape of the fix
Write it down once, properly
A skill is a set of instructions with a description precise enough that the agent reaches for it unprompted. Getting that description right is most of the work, and it is the part that is easy to do badly.
What we found
Narrow beats comprehensive
A skill that covers one job triggers reliably. A skill that covers everything gets loaded for everything and helps with none of it, because the agent cannot tell when it applies.
Today
Published as we write them
Everything here came out of work we actually do. When a skill earns its place in our own projects, it goes into the marketplace and onto npm.
How we work
Triggering is a feature
A skill nobody loads is a skill that does nothing. Descriptions are written and tested against the phrasings people actually use.
One skill, one job
Scope is kept deliberately narrow, so that an agent can tell at a glance whether the skill applies to the task in front of it.
Versioned independently
Each plugin carries its own version and changelog, so upgrading one skill never quietly moves another.
Readable, not magic
The skills are plain Markdown in a public repository. Read them, fork them, adapt them to your own conventions.
Built in the open
The skills repository is public and Apache-2.0 licensed. If one of these is nearly right for your team but not quite, forking it and changing the parts that do not fit is the intended use, not a workaround.
