Install & config
Client config (built from the install command this repo gives)
{
"mcpServers": {
"anshkaliya18-sherpa": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["sherpa-skill"]
}
}
}Parsed from the README we fetched on 2026-11-05; we have not executed it.
command/args come from the install command the repository states. When it is ambiguous, the project README wins.
VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json - the key is servers)
{
"servers": {
"anshkaliya18-sherpa": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["sherpa-skill"]
}
}
}Same server, but VS Code keeps it under <code>servers</code>.
Claude Code (command line)
claude mcp add --transport stdio anshkaliya18-sherpa -- npx sherpa-skill
Claude Code does not read a config file; add the server with this command.

Build the right thing. Prove it works. Show why it matters.
Sherpa is a portable Agent Skill and plugin for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, OpenCode, and Kilo Code. It mentors hackathon projects from rules and idea selection through planning, implementation, testing, and submission.
bash
npm install -g sherpa-skill
sherpa install
Then in your agent:
text
/sherpa suggest
/sherpa plan
/sherpa demo
/sherpa submission
What you get right away:
One install: works in Claude Code and OpenCode; project state lives in .sherpa/ and survives restarts and context switches.
Evidence-led: facts vs assumptions, with UNKNOWN when information is missing — no invented details.
Human approval gates: Sherpa recommends, never silently picks an idea or writes code without you confirming.
Full lifecycle: idea → plan → build → verify → demo → submission → postmortem.
## Install
The npm package is published as sherpa-skill (the name sherpa is already taken on npm).
### Option 1: npm (recommended)
bash
npm install -g sherpa-skill
sherpa install
This installs the Sherpa skill for both Claude Code and OpenCode, plus the sherpa distribution CLI. To preview without writing files:
bash
sherpa install --dry-run
To install only the skill (skip the CLI):
bash
sherpa install --no-cli
To remove:
bash
sherpa uninstall
The npm sherpa launcher supports install, migrate, and uninstall, and forwards update, doctor, audit, clean, help, and --version to the bundled management CLI. Management commands require Python 3.
Install with --global to call sherpa directly. For a local install, prefix commands with npx sherpa-skill, for example npx sherpa-skill doctor.
Node.js is required to run the npm package. package.json does not declare an engines field, so no specific Node version is pinned — use a current LTS release.
### Option 2: Other install methods (release installers)
The release installers download a versioned GitHub Releases archive, verify its SHA-256 checksum, and install the skill and CLI:
macOS / Linux:
bash
curl -fsSL https://github.com/Anshkaliya18/sherpa/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash
Windows PowerShell:
powershell
irm https://github.com/Anshkaliya18/sherpa/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex
Both installers target ~/.claude/skills/sherpa/ (Claude Code) and ~/.config/opencode/skills/sherpa/ (OpenCode) by default and never touch your project data or .sherpa/ directories.
## See it in action
The following is an illustrative example, not a guaranteed transcript. It shows how a vague team idea becomes a scoped plan using real /sherpa operations.
Before — a vague team idea:
> "We should build something for campus accessibility. Maybe an app?"
After — walking the idea through Sherpa operations:
text
/sherpa suggest ideas for campus accessibility
# -> Surfaces candidate ideas with pros/cons, risks, and judging-impact notes.
# Human picks one; Sherpa never auto-selects.
/sherpa evaluate the chosen idea
# -> Compares candidates against evidence and criteria, then recommends.
/sherpa plan
# -> Writes an implementation-ready engineering plan to .sherpa/.
# Architecture is not auto-approved and no code is written yet.
/sherpa demo
# -> Produces a judge-oriented demo preparation plan from validated evidence.
