toolbox
Pre/post dev toolbox — named bundles of skills/agents loaded before development work and councils of experts invoked after. Run /toolbox or the toolbox.py CLI to list, activate, initialize, export, import, and validate toolboxes. Invoke at the start or end of a dev session, when setting up a new repo, or when sharing toolboxes with a team.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# toolbox Named bundles of skills/agents that run **before** (`pre`) or **after** (`post`) a development task. Learn patterns from past work and propose new bundles.

What does the toolbox skill do?
Pre/post dev toolbox — named bundles of skills/agents loaded before development work and councils of experts invoked after. Run /toolbox or the toolbox.py CLI to list, activate, initialize, export, import, and validate toolboxes. Invoke at the start or end of a dev session, when setting up a new repo, or when sharing toolboxes with a team.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add stevesolun/ctx --skill toolbox --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From stevesolun/ctx, a repository with 569 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
