Install & config
Client config (built from the install command this repo gives)
{
"mcpServers": {
"ruinosus-house-lights": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["house-lights"]
}
}
}Parsed from the README we fetched on 2026-11-03; 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": {
"ruinosus-house-lights": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["house-lights"]
}
}
}Same server, but VS Code keeps it under <code>servers</code>.
Claude Code (command line)
claude mcp add --transport stdio ruinosus-house-lights -- npx house-lights
Claude Code does not read a config file; add the server with this command.

The lights that come up so everyone can see. Six skills for Claude that show an idea to people — by
drawing it, playing it, mapping it or comparing it — each one an HTML file that opens offline.
A Claude Code plugin of Agent Skills , also for claude.ai, the Claude API and other
tools that load skills. Open the gallery to play every example.
## The six skills
| Skill | Ask for | You get |
| chalk-talk | "explain compound interest by drawing it" | a hand-drawn lesson that appears stroke by stroke, chapter by chapter, with values you can move |
| back-of-napkin | "draw the architecture so I can present it to the client" | a pitch, an architecture, a decision, data, a timeline or a story drawn to be shown — it opens presenting, and becomes a PowerPoint |
| dress-rehearsal | "make a drill from our checkout runbook" | an incident drill to play, with a clock and choices, and a debrief of what the runbook does not say |
| gates-and-handoffs | "who approves what in our delivery?" | a team's way of working — stages, gates, roles, outputs — as a checkable file, a map, a workbook and a lesson |
| service-blueprint | "where does our onboarding hurt?" | a customer journey and who makes each moment happen on stage, backstage and in the systems |
| cast-list | "which of our Copilot Studio agents is off the pattern?" | the agents compared: what repeats, who is off it, the contract, the telemetry, what nobody uses — a map, a workbook to decide in, and a lesson; Node alone, no model |
Claude picks the skill by what you ask. To call one by name: /house-lights:back-of-napkin ….
## Install
Claude Code — all six at once:
/plugin marketplace add ruinosus/house-lights
/plugin install house-lights@house-lights
VS Code (GitHub Copilot) — the same plugin, in agent mode: run Chat: Add Plugin Marketplace with
ruinosus/house-lights (or add it to chat.plugins.marketplaces in your settings), then install house-lights from
Agent Customizations › Browse. The Copilot CLI takes the same marketplace:
copilot plugin marketplace add ruinosus/house-lights
copilot plugin install house-lights@house-lights
claude.ai — each skill is a zip in the latest release
(chalk-talk.zip, back-of-napkin.zip, …): Settings › Capabilities › Skills › Upload, with code execution on.
Claude API: the same zips with the Skills API. Other tools (Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI…): copy
skills/ where the tool reads skills; they need Node.js 18 or later.
npm — the same builds, outside Claude:
npx house-lights back-of-napkin pitch.chalk --pptx steps
npx house-lights gates-and-handoffs team.way.yaml --all
npx house-lights cast-list agents/ --all
The drawing engine alone, to embed lessons in a page, is the chalk-talk
package (it also powers the VS Code and Obsidian extensions).
## Moved here
These skills had a repository each until 1.0.0. stage-door is now gates-and-handoffs and front-of-house is
service-blueprint; their files keep working (the formats did not change). If you installed one of the old
plugins, install house-lights instead and remove the old one (/plugin uninstall @ ); the npm packages
