Claude Skills Collection

Custom Claude Code skills to replace heavy MCP servers with lightweight CLI wrappers.

Why This Repo?

Some MCP servers consume massive amounts of context. This repo provides lightweight skill alternatives that:

  • Only load when invoked (vs. always loaded MCPs)
  • Use standard CLI tools (tea, gh, etc.)
  • Save context budget for actual work
  • Can be shared across projects
