RampStack Skills

by rampstackco · rampstackco/claude-skills

Cover the full website lifecycle with one skill pack — brand voice, design, content, SEO, dev, ops, growth, research — agnostic to stack.

RampStack's skills pack covers everything a small website needs across its lifecycle. Stack-agnostic so the same skills work whether you ship Next.js, Astro, or static HTML.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json  · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rampstack-skills": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/rampstackco/claude-skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Restart after saving.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "rampstack-skills": {
      "command": "git",

      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor uses the same mcpServers schema as Claude Desktop. Project config wins over global.

  "mcpServers": {
    "rampstack-skills": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/rampstackco/claude-skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Click the MCP Servers icon in the Cline sidebar, then "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rampstack-skills": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/rampstackco/claude-skills"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Same shape as Claude Desktop. Restart Windsurf to pick up changes.

~/.continue/config.json
{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "rampstack-skills",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/rampstackco/claude-skills"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue uses an array of server objects rather than a map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json
{
  "context_servers": {
    "rampstack-skills": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/rampstackco/claude-skills"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to context_servers. Zed hot-reloads on save.

claude mcp add rampstack-skills -- git clone https://github.com/rampstackco/claude-skills

One-liner. Verify with claude mcp list. Remove with claude mcp remove.
