The short version

What problem it solves

AI coding assistants write code fast, but they don't know your security and compliance expectations. Left alone they repeat common mistakes, and someone senior has to catch them in review.

These skills give the agent practitioner guidance it loads automatically when a task matches: NIST 800-171, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CMMC, threat modeling, DevSecOps pipelines, Azure and identity automation. AI-written work starts closer to what a senior engineer would ship.

Key features

  • 18 plugins and 71 Agent Skills across security, compliance, cloud infrastructure, identity automation, DevSecOps, AI and data, frontend, mobile, architecture, quality engineering, process and technical writing
  • Installs as a Claude Code plugin marketplace, one plugin at a time or all at once
  • Also ships on PyPI with a vibe-skills command that installs skills into ~/.claude/skills
  • Never overwrites skill folders you already have (use --force to replace)
  • No runtime dependencies: plain reference content plus a standard-library CLI
  • A manifest and front-matter validator for contributors

Quick start

From the README:

Install as a Claude Code marketplace
# Add the marketplace (from a local clone)
/plugin marketplace add /path/to/vibe-engineering-skills

# …or directly from the Git remote
/plugin marketplace add TheViziusGroup/vibe-engineering-skills

# Browse and install
/plugin
Install from PyPI
# Try it without installing
uvx --from vibe-engineering-skills vibe-skills list

# Install every skill into ~/.claude/skills
uvx --from vibe-engineering-skills vibe-skills install --all

# …or just one plugin's skills
uvx --from vibe-engineering-skills vibe-skills install security-principles

# Or install the CLI permanently
pip install vibe-engineering-skills
vibe-skills list

Commands are copied from the project's own README or files. For everything else, see the repository (opens in a new tab).
