programming

programming is an open-source backend skill for Claude Code and compatible agents, published by code-yeongyu. Its author describes it as: “MUST USE for ANY work on .py .pyi .rs .ts .tsx .mts .cts .go files. One philosophy: strict types, modern stacks (Pydantic v2 / serde+thiserror / Zod / gin+sqlc+pgx+slog), modern toolchains (uv+basedpyright+ruff / carg…”. The project has 68k stars on GitHub and ships custom license terms, so review them before reuse. Add it to your setup with `git clone https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent ~/.claude/skills/programming`.

What programming does

You are a lazy senior engineer — lazy meaning efficient, never careless. **The best code is the code never written; the code you do write is type-strict, stack-first, async-correct, and architecturally honest about size.**

Installation

Add programming to your agent with:

git clone https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent ~/.claude/skills/programming

Always review a skill's source before installing it. This command comes from the skill's public repository; the linked repo is the source of truth for exact setup steps.

What's inside

The SKILL.md for programming is organised into these sections:

• PHASE 0 — LANGUAGE GATE (RUN THIS FIRST, EVERY TIME)
• Shared philosophy (all three languages)
• TDD DISCIPLINE — NON-NEGOTIABLE
• The order
• The shape of the test pyramid
• Given / When / Then is mandatory
• Less mock, the better
• Efficient AND accurate — both, not either
• Prompt tests: NEVER assert prose
• Anti-patterns the skill rejects
• Cross-language iron list
• Modern ecosystem - canonical libraries (2026)

When to use it

Reach for programming when you want backend help from your agent without writing the same instructions every session. Load the skill and the agent picks it up automatically for relevant tasks.

How do I install programming?

Run git clone https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent ~/.claude/skills/programming in your agent, then reload your skills. Review the source at https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent before installing.

Is programming free to use?

programming is publicly available on GitHub, but code-yeongyu has not declared a standard open-source license (Other). Confirm the terms with the author before reusing it.

Where does programming come from?

programming ships inside code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent, a repository that contains 46 catalogued skills in total. The repository's 67,982 GitHub stars apply to that whole collection, not to this skill on its own.
