skills

MiniMax Skills is a collection of structured instruction sets (called skills) designed to be loaded into AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode. Each skill gives the AI assistant a specific workflow and set of guidelines for a particular type of task, rather than relying on the model's general knowledge alone. The project is in beta and published by MiniMax, an AI company.

The development skills cover frontend work (React and Next.js with Tailwind CSS, animations via Framer Motion and GSAP), fullstack backend architecture (REST API design, authentication, real-time features with WebSockets, database integration), Android development with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, iOS development with UIKit and SwiftUI, Flutter cross-platform apps, React Native with Expo, and GLSL shader programming for visual effects.

A second category of skills wraps MiniMax's own AI generation APIs. These include text-to-speech with voice cloning, music generation (vocal songs and instrumentals), image generation, video generation (including text-to-video and image-to-video), and a multimodal toolkit that combines several of these. Document generation skills cover creating and editing PDF, Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX), and PowerPoint (PPTX) files programmatically.

Installing the skills depends on which coding tool you use. For Claude Code, a plugin command adds them directly. For Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode, the repository is cloned and the skills directory is pointed to from the tool's configuration. VS Code is not directly supported but can use the skills indirectly through the CLI tools running in its integrated terminal.

The repository is licensed under MIT and accepts community contributions. A validation script is included for checking that contributed skills follow the expected format before submitting a pull request.
