What it is

MiniMax Skills is a set of guidance packages (called skills) for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode. Each skill gives the agent structured instructions for a task, such as building a React or Next.js frontend, an Android or iOS app, a Flutter or React Native app, GLSL shaders, or PowerPoint, Excel, and Word files. Some skills also call MiniMax APIs for images, video, audio, and music.

  • Ask an AI agent to scaffold a Next.js frontend using the frontend-dev skill
  • Have the pptx-generator skill create a PowerPoint deck from scratch or edit an existing one
  • Use minimax-xlsx to create or analyze spreadsheets with formula recalculation
  • Generate a short song with minimax-music-gen, if you have MiniMax API access

Great for

  • Developers who already use Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or OpenCode and want guided templates for common app types
  • Frontend developers working with React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS
  • Mobile developers building Android (Kotlin/Compose) or iOS (SwiftUI/UIKit) apps
  • People who generate office documents such as PDFs, slide decks, or spreadsheets from an AI agent

Not ideal for

  • Users who do not use an AI coding agent, since the skills are loaded by those tools (README does not describe use outside them)
  • Teams that need a stable API, because the README says skills, APIs, and configuration formats may change without notice (Beta)
  • Users who want to avoid MiniMax's paid APIs, since several skills depend on MiniMax API access (the README does not describe pricing)

How to get it

  1. 1

    See the README

    You'll need: An AI coding tool such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or OpenCode · Git

    Claude Code: add marketplace

    claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills

    Claude Code: install plugin

    claude plugin install minimax-skills

    Cursor: clone repository

    git clone https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills.git ~/.cursor/minimax-skills

    Codex: clone repository

    git clone https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills.git ~/.codex/minimax-skills
  2. 2

    Run it

    • Install the skills for your AI coding tool using the commands in the README
    • Restart the tool so it discovers the skills
    • Ask the agent for a task that matches a skill, such as building a frontend or creating a PDF
  3. 3

    Get the most out of it

    • Read the per-tool INSTALL.md files (for example .cursor-plugin/INSTALL.md or .codex/INSTALL.md) for Windows setup and details
    • Check CONTRIBUTING.md if you want to add or change a skill
    • Run the validation script in .claude/skills/pr-review/scripts/validate_skills.py before submitting changes
    • Read CREDITS.md to see which community work some skills are based on

Downloads

Source code (.zip)main branch · straight from GitHub

Strengths

  • Covers many app and document types in one repository, with 17 listed skills
  • Installation steps are given for several popular AI coding tools
  • Released under the MIT license

Trade-offs

  • The README labels the project Beta and says skills and configuration may change without notice
  • Several skills depend on MiniMax APIs, and the README does not explain costs or setup for those APIs
  • The README does not show example outputs, so the quality of results is not documented here
