Sprout Brain for Your Coding Agent

Gets the latest Sprout Brain partner skills onto your local coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others), teaches your agent what each skill is for, and sets up a daily refresh so they stay current. Picks the best install channel your machine already supports — Claude Code plugin marketplace, the cross-agent npx skills CLI, or a git clone fallback — and explains any prerequisites in plain language before running anything.

Sprout Brain for Your Coding Agent

About

Gets the latest Sprout Brain partner skills onto a developer's local coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, or other agents) from https://github.com/Sprout-Good-Habits/sprout-brain, has the agent learn what each skill is for and commit that to its own persistent memory, and sets up a daily local refresh so the skills stay current. Installs via the best channel the machine supports — Claude Code plugin marketplace, the cross-agent `npx skills` CLI, or a git clone + Python installer on bare machines — and explains the chosen path's prerequisites to the user in plain language before running anything. Use when a developer wants their home/coding agent to have — and keep having, and actually use — the newest Sprout Brain skills. Authored for the home agent; not a kid-facing activity.

How it works

  1. 1Explain, then install via the best channelProbes the machine, explains the chosen path and its prerequisites in plain language first, then installs Sprout Brain skills via the Claude Code plugin marketplace, the cross-agent npx skills CLI, or the classic git clone + Python installer on bare machines.
  2. 2Learn and remember themReads each skill plus the repo's llms.md and records what they do and when to use them into your agent's own persistent memory.
  3. 3Keep them current dailyWrites a refresh script matching the chosen install path (absolute binary paths, launchd/cron-safe) and schedules an idempotent daily job so the skills stay up to date automatically.

Inputs

Target coding agent(s)

Which local coding agent(s) to install into. Accepts `claude` (Claude Code → ~/.claude/skills), `codex` (Codex → ~/.codex/skills), or `all` (both). Ask the user which they use; if unspecified or unsure, use `all`.

target

Which skills (optional)

Optional filter for which Sprout Brain skills to install: a comma-separated list of skill folder names (e.g. `sprout-solutions-architect`). Most people want all of them, so leave blank to install every skill — that is the normal choice. Users won't know the folder names up front; the available names live in the repo's `llms.md`, so after cloning the agent can read it and offer the specific options if the user wants to pick a subset.
