Fine to try.

By nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection (GitHub) · design · 36 stars · scanned at commit 1691932

Use when choosing how to structure code for a recurring problem. Covers the patterns that earn their keep, the ones that usually do not, and how to recognize when a pattern is being applied for its own sake. Trigger on "should i use a strategy pattern here", "inheritance or composition", "this is over-abstracted", "every new type means touching ten files". Do not use for untangling one overly complex module — see the simple-design skill.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'design-patterns' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'design-patterns' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named design-patterns already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1691932edc17063d712a85d02bcc7a1cd3791057' -- 'skills/development/design-patterns' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/development/design-patterns' ~/.agents/skills/'design-patterns' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'design-patterns' ~/.claude/skills/'design-patterns' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
