Installation

Requirements

  • Node.js >=18.18.0
  • Claude Code installed and configured

Install

npx oh-my-sdd install

This is a true global install — it always writes to ~/.claude/skills/, regardless of which directory you run the command from. You only need to run it once per machine.

Running it installs 6 skills:

Skill Folder
oh-my-sdd ~/.claude/skills/oh-my-sdd/
oh-my-sdd-constitution ~/.claude/skills/oh-my-sdd-constitution/
oh-my-sdd-specify ~/.claude/skills/oh-my-sdd-specify/
oh-my-sdd-plan ~/.claude/skills/oh-my-sdd-plan/
oh-my-sdd-tasks ~/.claude/skills/oh-my-sdd-tasks/
oh-my-sdd-implement ~/.claude/skills/oh-my-sdd-implement/

Each folder also gets its own copy of the SDD knowledge base, so every skill is self-contained.

If the skills are already installed, the CLI asks whether you want to reinstall/update before touching anything.

Verify the install

npx oh-my-sdd status

This reports which of the 6 skills are present, and whether any installed file was modified manually since installation (using a SHA-256 manifest stored at ~/.claude/skills/.oh-my-sdd-manifest.json).

Uninstall

npx oh-my-sdd uninstall

Removes all 6 skill folders and the manifest file. Nothing else on your machine is touched — see Safety & Data.
