Hex Line tools (9, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
bulk_replaceSearch-and-replace text across multiple files inside an explicit root path. Use for renames and refactors when the project scope is known.
changesSemantic diff against git ref (default: HEAD). Returns canonical status, summary, next_action, changed symbols, and graph-backed risk hints when available.
edit_fileApply hash-verified partial edits to one file. Batch ALL hunks for the same file into ONE call via the `edits` array -- separate sequential edit_file calls on one file go stale and conflict (the most common edit failure). Carry base_revision only for a genuinely later follow-up after the file changed. Anchors accept tag.N, a bare line number, or unique line content (auto-resolved); range_checksum
grep_searchSearch file contents with ripgrep. Default: summary-first discovery output; use `content` with `edit_ready=true` when you need verified edit hunks.
inspect_pathInspect a file or directory path. Files return compact metadata; directories return a gitignore-aware tree or pattern matches.
outlineAST-based structural outline with hash anchors for direct edit_file usage. Supports JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C#, and PHP code files plus markdown headings (.md/.mdx, fence-aware).
read_fileRead file with progressive disclosure. Default: minimal plain partial read for discovery; enable edit-ready metadata explicitly when preparing a verified edit.
verifyCheck if held checksums are still valid without rereading. Use before delayed or mixed-tool follow-up edits; returns canonical status, next_action, and reread guidance.
write_filewrite actionCreate a new file or overwrite existing. Creates parent dirs. For existing files prefer edit_file (shows diff, verifies hashes).

Claude-Codex Skills
Give your AI agent a clear finish line.
You ask for a fix and get a new abstraction. A review lists generic advice. The agent says “done,” but you still have to work out what it checked.
These skills give Claude Code and Codex a concrete way to finish the task: establish the intended outcome, work within scope, verify the result, and make remaining gaps explicit. Choose the skill for the problem in front of you.

What changes in your workflow
- A clearer target. Turn an idea, bug report, or incident into an outcome the agent can check.
- Focused work. Reuse existing capabilities, fix the owning cause, and remove what the change makes obsolete.
- A result you can assess. See the evidence, failed or unavailable checks, and remaining risks behind the verdict.
- Control over consequential actions. Reviews report findings; implementation stays within the agreed scope; publication and deployment follow their authorization boundaries.
Choose a route
Start where you need help. Each skill works independently; a small fix does not require a full lifecycle or audit.
For a larger task, combine only the steps needed to resolve decisions and produce evidence. Supplied requirements, existing designs, and current tests are valid starting points. Implementation includes its own verification; a separate test-building or review skill is optional.
Install
For a feature or fix, start with implementation-suite. Replace it with another plugin from Choose a route for a different task.
Claude Code:

/plugin install implementation-suite@levnikolaevich-skills-marketplace
/reload-pluginsCodex:
codex plugin marketplace add levnikolaevich/claude-code-skills
codex plugin add implementation-suite@levnikolaevich-skills-marketplaceInvoke a skill by its full name: /implementation-suite:ln-41-surgical-change-implementer in Claude Code or $ln-41-surgical-change-implementer in Codex, followed by your task. For example: “Fix the total calculation when an item has a discount. Preserve the current rounding rules.”
