What it does

Operations is an agent skill from travisjneuman/.claude. Operations excellence expertise for supply chain optimization, process improvement (Lean, Six Sigma), capacity planning, vendor management, quality assurance, and operational efficiency. Use when optimizing processes, managing supply chains, or improving operational performance.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/operations-excellence-skill.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Supply chain security, Operations and SOPs and QA and bug reports. The repository describes itself as: The Ultimate Claude Code Toolkit: 180 skills, 10 agents, 29 commands, 7 hooks, and 81 marketplace repos (11,000+ community skills). Drop-in ~/.claude config with a generated… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Optimizing processes
  • Managing supply chains
  • Improving operational performance

Example prompts

  • “Use the operations skill to operation excellence expertise for supply chain optimization, process improvement (Lean, Six Sigma), capacity planning…”
  • “/operations”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 139c07b. 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:

    • make

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Operations loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 596 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~14k

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.

Operational Excellence Frameworks

Lean Manufacturing Principles
THE 5 PRINCIPLES OF LEAN:
1. Value - Define from customer perspective
2. Value Stream - Map all steps, eliminate waste
3. Flow - Make value-creating steps flow smoothly
4. Pull - Let customer demand drive production
5. Perfection - Continuously improve toward perfection

What does Operations do?

Operations excellence expertise for supply chain optimization, process improvement (Lean, Six Sigma), capacity planning, vendor management, quality assurance, and operational efficiency. claude. Operations excellence expertise for supply chain optimization, process improvement (Lean, Six Sigma), capacity planning, vendor management, quality assurance, and operational efficiency.

When should I use Operations?

Operations fits situations like: optimizing processes; managing supply chains; improving operational performance.

How do I install Operations in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add travisjneuman/.claude --skill operations -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/operations in travisjneuman/.claude) into .claude/skills/operations in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Operations in Codex?

Can I use Operations in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add travisjneuman/.claude --skill operations -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/operations, .gemini/skills/operations, .github/skills/operations and .opencode/skills/operations in your project.

What does Operations need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Operations needs the command-line tools its instructions call (make).

Does Operations access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Operations safe to install?

What licence does Operations use?

Operations is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Operations use?

About 3.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 14k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 11k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
