emacs-skills
Claude Code skills for Emacs integration.
These skills enable tighter integration with agents running inside Emacs, for example agent-shell.
Skills
/dired
Open files from the latest agent interaction in an Emacs dired buffer via emacsclient.
- Same directory: Opens dired at the parent directory with the relevant files marked, showing them in context alongside sibling files.
- Multiple directories: Creates a curated
*agent-files*dired buffer containing only the relevant files, using relative paths from a common ancestor.
/open
Open files from the latest agent interaction in Emacs buffers via emacsclient. Jumps to a specific line when relevant.
/select
Open a file in Emacs and select the region most relevant to the current discussion. Ready to act on immediately: narrow, copy, refactor, etc.
/highlight
Highlight relevant regions in a file in Emacs with a temporary read-only minor mode. Press q to exit and remove highlights.
/describe
Look up Emacs documentation using the appropriate mechanism: describe-function, describe-variable, describe-key, describe-symbol, apropos, apropos-documentation, info, or shortdoc.
/gnuplot
Plot data from the current context using gnuplot. Queries the Emacs foreground color and generates a transparent PNG that renders inline.
/matplotlib
Plot data from the current context using matplotlib (via uv run). Queries the Emacs foreground color and generates a transparent PNG that renders inline. No permanent install needed — uses uv to run matplotlib on the fly.
/github-activity
Analyze a GitHub project's recent activity (PRs and issues) and produce a succinct, chart-backed health report — throughput, backlog burn-rate, and responsiveness. Renders matplotlib charts inline.
/plantuml
Create diagrams from the current context using PlantUML. Applies the Emacs foreground color via skinparam for readable text on your Emacs background.
/d2
Create diagrams from the current context using D2. Uses the dark theme with the Emacs foreground color applied to nodes and edges.
/mermaid
Create diagrams from the current context using Mermaid. Applies the Emacs foreground color via theme variable overrides for readable text on your Emacs background.
/swiftui-preview
Render SwiftUI code from the current context to a PNG via swiftc + SwiftUI's ImageRenderer. Outputs the resulting image inline. Requires Swift and macOS.
/xcode-build-simulator
Build the Xcode workspace/project under the current working directory for the iOS Simulator (generic destination). Auto-detects the workspace/project and scheme.
/xcode-build-device
Build the Xcode workspace/project under the current working directory for a physical iOS device (generic destination). Requires a configured signing team.
/xcode-run-simulator
Build, install, and launch the app on an iOS Simulator. Reuses an already-booted simulator if present; otherwise boots the latest available iPhone and opens Simulator.app.
/xcode-run-device
Build, install, and launch the app on a wired-connected iOS device via Xcode 15+ devicectl. Requires a configured signing team and a trusted, paired device.
emacsclient (auto)
Always prefer emacsclient over emacs when the agent needs to interact with Emacs. This skill is not a slash command; it activates automatically.
file-links (auto)
Format file references as markdown links with GitHub-style #L line numbers (e.g., [file.el:42](path/to/file.el#L42)). Activates automatically.
mappu (auto)
Search Apple Maps for restaurants, cafes, businesses, or landmarks via the mappu CLI when the user asks about a place or context implies a location lookup. Always uses --near; asks "Near where?" if no location is established. Returns a numbered map snapshot plus per-result image, website link, category, and address. Activates automatically. Requires mappu on $PATH.
Requirements
- Emacs running a server (
M-x server-startor(server-start)in your init file) emacsclientavailable on$PATH
