What's inside
Skill(4 skills)
/anchor-intakeInterrogate a written engineering implementation brief before work starts. Use when a user brings a ticket, PRD, design note, or substantive engineering task brief and wants to begin implementation planning; force every fixed rubric element to be accounted, cite present/weak/anchor-reproReproduce a behavioral bug before fixing it, record the failing probe, and verify the fix with the same probe. Use for bug reports, failing tests, crashes, hangs, regressions, wrong output, and observable behavior that should change./anchor-vetEvidence-gated diff review for PRs, branches, commit ranges, staged code changes, and merge readiness checks. Use when an AI reviewer must review a concrete git-anchored diff, judge whether code is safe to merge, inspect a PR URL or branch, cross-examine PR or commit claims,/anchor-vizDraw a faithful architecture or structure diagram of a real codebase or project by scanning the actual repo, never guessing. Use for system architecture, request lifecycle, data model, state transitions, type structure, draw the architecture, map this project, 画架构图.
README
techne
τέχνη · /ˈtɛk.niː/ · "TEK-nee"
Ancient Greek for craft · skill · art: the practical know-how of making and doing, and the shared root of both technique and technology. Aristotle placed technē (knowing how) beside epistēmē (knowing that).
Skills and agents for the AI era.
Website: techne.wangyun.fan.
Chinese version: README-CN.md.
What This Is
techne is a curated library of skills and agent assets for practical AI-era work. A techne skill is not a prompt snippet. It is a forced cognitive move: a small procedure that makes an AI collaborator investigate, judge, write, code, or ship in a way it often skips under pressure.
The project keeps one shared source of truth in skills/. Host-specific files
stay thin: Claude Code plugin metadata, Cursor and Gemini manifests, and install
instructions for Codex, Kimi, and other Agent Skills hosts all point back to the
same skill bodies.
Skills
The current seeded skills use the anchor-* prefix because each one anchors AI
work to evidence it cannot self-report or fake: a source tree, run ledger, git
diff, or written brief.
anchor-viz— investigate a real codebase by diagramming it. It routes one user request across architecture, interaction, data-model, state-model, and type-structure diagrams, then validates and builds a local viewer. See skills/anchor-viz/README.md for detailed usage.anchor-repro— force bug fixes through a failing reproduction first, then verify with the same probe after the fix. See skills/anchor-repro/README.md for detailed usage.anchor-vet— force code review through computed scope, accounted blast radius, verified claims/findings, and admissible verdicts before approving or requesting changes. See skills/anchor-vet/README.md for detailed usage.anchor-intake— interrogate a written engineering implementation brief before work starts, accounting the fixed rubric, surfacing gaps/traps/questions, and emitting an intent-level plan. See skills/anchor-intake/README.md for detailed usage.
Install
Recommended: ask your AI agent. Paste this into Claude Code or Codex:
Install techne for my current agent by following https://github.com/lynxlangya/techne/blob/main/INSTALL.md, then verify the techne skills are available.
The agent reads INSTALL.md, detects your harness (Claude / Codex / Cursor / Gemini / Kimi), runs the right install path, and confirms the skill works.
Manual: per-harness commands and the universal npx skills fallback are in
INSTALL.md.
For Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add lynxlangya/techne
/plugin install techne@techne-dev
/reload-plugins
For Codex:
npx skills add lynxlangya/techne -a codex -g -y
See WORKFLOW.md for the delivery process and ROADMAP.md for the product map.
Documentation
Public-facing documentation is split by language:
README.mdis the default English document.README-CN.mdis the Chinese companion document.
The same convention applies to skill usage guides when a Chinese version is
needed, for example skills/anchor-viz/README.md and skills/anchor-viz/README-CN.md.
