What it does

Engineering Advanced Skills is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Index of 37 advanced engineering agent skills for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenClaw. Use when browsing or choosing among the POWERFUL-tier engineering skills: agent design, RAG, MCP servers, CI/CD, database design, observability, security auditing, changelog/release automation, reliability (SLO/chaos/flags/operators), platform ops.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Database schema design, Site reliability engineering and Changelog and release notes. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Choosing among the POWERFUL-tier engineering skills: agent design
  • Database design
  • Security auditing
  • Changelog/release automation

Example prompts

  • “/engineering-advanced-skills”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Engineering Advanced Skills loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 321 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
