- Install a full stack of MiniMax Code skills with a single script or via the marketplace
- Skills live in directories like .minimax/skills/ and are invoked with / commands in MiniMax Code
- The repo is MIT-licensed and can be used as a plugin marketplace or copied into ~/.agents/skills
What is it?
mcode-stack is a GitHub repository that provides MiniMax Code skills, checklists and workflows packaged as plugins or copy-paste directories. It is not a prompt collection but the actual daily habits the MiniMax Code team uses.
How does it work?
Each skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file; MiniMax Code scans skill directories (project-local or user-wide) and makes them available via / commands. You can install the whole stack with scripts/install.sh or add the repository as a marketplace in MiniMax Code.
What does it need to run?
You need a MiniMax Code environment with Claude or Codex on the PATH for the install script, and the usual skill directories (~/.agents/skills/, .minimax/skills/, etc.) for discovery.
By the numbers
- command count for quick start: one
- subdirectory per skill: one
- plugin installation method: one
The honest read
The repository lists the mechanics for installing and using the skills, but it provides no performance metrics, benchmark scores or quantitative evaluation of the agents themselves. All descriptions of how the habits improve code quality are qualitative and come from the MiniMax team’s own observations. No external validation or comparative data are provided.
What we don't know yet
- Exact download size of the repository
- Hardware requirements for running MiniMax Code agents
- Any quantitative impact on coding speed or quality
