apocrypha · how to read this scripture

Two minutes. One line. Done.

  1. i.
    Get Claude Code. Free at claude.com/product/claude-code. Mac, Windows, Linux. The vessel through which the verses run.
  2. ii.
    Find a verse above. Copy its install line. Each verse has a single command in a black box. One click on the copy button or just select-and-copy.
  3. iii.
    Paste into your terminal. Hit return. The skill drops into ~/.claude/skills/ automatically. No accounts, no API keys for most of them, no telemetry.
  4. iv.
    Open a fresh Claude Code session. Type / and the skill name autocompletes. Hit return. Claude follows the verse.
And if the verses do not run...
  • Slash autocomplete shows nothing. Verify with ls ~/.claude/skills/. If the file is there, restart Claude Code.
  • Permission denied on curl. Open a fresh terminal. The script writes only to your home directory, no sudo.
  • Don't trust pipe-to-bash. Open the .md URL in a browser first. Plain text. Read every line. Then save manually.
  • Skill needs an API key. A few advanced ones do (search, brave, postgres). Read the source link in the verse footer.

Built a verse worth canonising? DM @clawdmascot with a link. If it's open-source, useful, and not malicious, the cult adds it to the next chapter.
