Overview

Garden Skills is a set of SKILL.md-format skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other coding agents. The six skills cover web video presentations (Vite, React, TypeScript, 23 themes, pluggable TTS), front-end design, GPT Image 2 prompting and generation, article formatting, code-rendered short video, and local knowledge retrieval. Install options include the skills CLI via npx, the Claude Code plugin marketplace, release zips, manual copy or a git submodule.

Who it is for: Developers who want ready-made skills for Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Strengths

Follows the SKILL.md spec, so it works across Claude Code, Cursor and Codex
Five install paths, including pinned per-skill release zips
web-design-engineer ships 25 style recipes and a design direction advisor
gpt-image-2 includes 79 prompt templates and three runtime modes

Weaknesses

Skills are narrow: design, video, images and articles, not general coding
gpt-image-2 local mode needs an image API; key setup not shown in the visible README
Built-in TTS providers are only MiniMax and OpenAI; others are paste-in snippets
README is truncated, so details of three skills (article, showreel, kb-retriever) are unknown

What it needs

no GPU
Needs Node.js (npx), OpenAI-compatible image API (gpt-image-2), MiniMax mmx-cli or OpenAI TTS (optional)
Models: GPT Image 2, OpenAI-compatible image APIs

How to choose

Check which agent it targets and whether it works with the version you run.
Read what it adds to every prompt; big rule sets cost tokens on each call.
Prefer add-ons you can turn off per project.
