Beta — This project is under active development. Skills, APIs, and configuration formats may change without notice. We welcome feedback and contributions.

Development skills for AI coding agents. Plug into your favorite AI coding tool and get structured, production-quality guidance for frontend, fullstack, Android, iOS, and shader development.

Skills

Skill                               Description Source
frontend-dev Full-stack frontend development combining premium UI design, cinematic animations (Framer Motion, GSAP), AI-generated media assets via MiniMax API (image, video, audio, music, TTS), persuasive copywriting (AIDA framework), and generative art (p5.js, Three.js, Canvas). Tech stack: React / Next.js, Tailwind CSS. Official
fullstack-dev Full-stack backend architecture and frontend-backend integration. REST API design, auth flows (JWT, session, OAuth), real-time features (SSE, WebSocket), database integration (SQL / NoSQL), production hardening, and release checklist. Guided workflow: requirements → architecture → implementation. Official
android-native-dev Android native application development with Material Design 3. Kotlin / Jetpack Compose, adaptive layouts, Gradle configuration, accessibility (WCAG), build troubleshooting, performance optimization, and motion system. Official
ios-application-dev iOS application development guide covering UIKit, SnapKit, and SwiftUI. Touch targets, safe areas, navigation patterns, Dynamic Type, Dark Mode, accessibility, collection views, and Apple HIG compliance. Official
flutter-dev Flutter cross-platform development covering widget patterns, Riverpod/Bloc state management, GoRouter navigation, performance optimization, and testing strategies. Official
react-native-dev React Native and Expo development guide covering components, styling, animations, navigation, state management, forms, networking, performance optimization, testing, native capabilities, and engineering (project structure, deployment, SDK upgrades, CI/CD). Official
shader-dev Comprehensive GLSL shader techniques for creating stunning visual effects — ray marching, SDF modeling, fluid simulation, particle systems, procedural generation, lighting, post-processing, and more. ShaderToy-compatible. Official
gif-sticker-maker Convert photos (people, pets, objects, logos) into 4 animated GIF stickers with captions. Funko Pop / Pop Mart style, powered by MiniMax Image & Video Generation API. Official
minimax-pdf Generate, fill, and reformat PDF documents with a token-based design system. CREATE polished PDFs from scratch (15 cover styles), FILL existing form fields, or REFORMAT documents into a new design. Print-ready output with typography and color derived from document type. Official
pptx-generator Generate, edit, and read PowerPoint presentations. Create from scratch with PptxGenJS (cover, TOC, content, section divider, summary slides), edit existing PPTX via XML workflows, or extract text with markitdown. Official
minimax-xlsx Open, create, read, analyze, edit, or validate Excel/spreadsheet files (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv). Covers creating new xlsx from scratch via XML templates, reading and analyzing with pandas, editing existing files with zero format loss, formula recalculation, validation, and professional financial formatting. Official
minimax-docx Professional DOCX document creation, editing, and formatting using OpenXML SDK (.NET). Three pipelines: create new documents from scratch, fill/edit content in existing documents, or apply template formatting with XSD validation gate-check. Official
vision-analysis Analyze, describe, and extract information from images using vision AI models. Supports describe, OCR, UI mockup review, chart data extraction, and object detection. Powered by MiniMax VL API with OpenAI GPT-4V fallback. Community
minimax-multimodal-toolkit Generate voice, music, video, and image content via MiniMax APIs — the unified entry for MiniMax multimodal use cases. Covers TTS (text-to-speech, voice cloning, voice design, multi-segment), music (songs, instrumentals), video (text-to-video, image-to-video, start-end frame, subject reference, templates, long-form multi-scene), image (text-to-image, image-to-image with character reference), and media processing (convert, concat, trim, extract) via FFmpeg. Official
minimax-music-gen Generate vocal songs, instrumentals, and covers using MiniMax Music API. Two modes: Basic (one-liner in, song out) and Advanced Control (edit lyrics, refine prompt, plan structure). Supports lyrics generation, style vocabulary, streaming playback, and iterative feedback. Official
buddy-sings Let your Claude Code pet (/buddy) sing a personalized song. Interprets the pet's name and personality into a unique cached vocal identity, auto-gathers context (conversation, memory, git history) for themed lyrics, and generates music via minimax-music-gen. Official
minimax-music-playlist Generate personalized playlists by analyzing your music taste. Builds a taste profile (genre, mood, language, vocal preferences), plans a themed tracklist, generates songs with album cover art, and refines the profile from feedback. Official

Installation

Claude Code

claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills
claude plugin install minimax-skills

Cursor

git clone https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills.git ~/.cursor/minimax-skills

Add to your Cursor settings — point the skills path to ~/.cursor/minimax-skills/skills/. For Windows setup and verification, see .cursor-plugin/INSTALL.md.

Codex

git clone https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills.git ~/.codex/minimax-skills

mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills
ln -s ~/.codex/minimax-skills/skills ~/.agents/skills/minimax-skills

Restart Codex to discover the skills. See .codex/INSTALL.md for Windows instructions and details.

OpenCode

git clone https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills.git ~/.minimax-skills

mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/skills
ln -s ~/.minimax-skills/skills/* ~/.config/opencode/skills/

Restart OpenCode to discover the skills. See .opencode/INSTALL.md for details.

VS Code

This repository does not currently ship a standalone VS Code extension.

If you use VS Code, the supported approach is to run one of the supported CLI tools inside the integrated terminal:

If you want native local-skills configuration from this repo, use Cursor and follow .cursor-plugin/INSTALL.md.

What is this?MiniMax Skills is a collection of plug-in 'skill' packages that give AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode) structured, production-quality guidance for frontend, fullstack, Android, iOS, Flutter, React Native, shader work, and MiniMax-API-powered media generation (images, video, music, TTS, documents).
Is this a standalone agent or something you plug into existing tools?It is not an agent itself — it's a set of skill packages you plug into an existing AI coding tool so it follows structured, domain-specific guidance instead of ad-hoc instructions.
How do I install the skills into my coding tool?Installation differs by tool: Cursor needs its skills path pointed to ~/.cursor/minimax-skills/skills/ (Windows steps in .cursor-plugin/INSTALL.md), while Codex and OpenCode just need a restart to auto-discover the skills; there is no standalone VS Code extension.
Which coding agents are supported?Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode are supported directly. VS Code users are expected to run one of those CLI tools inside the integrated terminal instead of a dedicated extension.
Is this ready for production use?No — the project explicitly labels itself Beta and under active development, meaning skill formats and APIs may change without notice.
Do the media-generation skills need a MiniMax API key?Yes — skills like minimax-multimodal-toolkit, minimax-music-gen, and gif-sticker-maker generate images, video, music, and speech by calling the MiniMax API, so you need access to that service.
What document formats can these skills produce?There are dedicated skills for PDF (minimax-pdf), Word (minimax-docx via OpenXML SDK), Excel (minimax-xlsx), and PowerPoint (pptx-generator via PptxGenJS), each covering creation, editing, and reformatting of existing files.
What is the buddy-sings skill?It lets your Claude Code pet ('/buddy') sing a personalized song, turning its name and personality plus gathered conversation/memory/git context into themed lyrics generated with minimax-music-gen.
