relativity-builder-skills

AI skills for developers building on the Relativity platform, maintained by Relativity's Developer Services team. This is the public counterpart to our internal skills catalog: things Claude (or another AI coding assistant) should know how to do when you're working against Relativity's APIs and SDKs, so you don't have to rediscover them yourself.

Using the skills

How you consume this repo depends on your AI client.

Claude Code

Skills here are distributed as a plugin via this repo's marketplace.

One-time setup

In the Claude Code terminal, run:

/plugin marketplace add relativitydev/relativity-builder-skills
/plugin install relativity-builder-skills@relativity-builder-skills

From the Desktop app, you can do the same thing without the terminal: click the + button next to the prompt box, open the plugins section, and add the marketplace/install the plugin from there.

That's it — the skills are now available. Claude will use them automatically when relevant, or you can invoke one directly, e.g. /relativity-builder-skills:some-skill.

If a command you just installed or updated doesn't show up right away, run /reload-plugins. It works in the Desktop app as well as the terminal, though you have to type it into the session yourself. If it warns that reloading would re-read the conversation, rerun it as /reload-plugins --force. Restarting Claude Code (fully quit and reopen the Desktop app, or start a new terminal session) also works if the reload doesn't pick the change up.

Getting updates

• Manual (works for everyone, no setup): run this whenever you want the latest skills —

  /plugin marketplace update relativity-builder-skills
  /plugin update relativity-builder-skills@relativity-builder-skills
  

• Automatic (optional, one-time setup): Claude Code enables auto-update by default only for official Anthropic marketplaces. Third-party ones like this repo ship with it disabled, so turn it on with /plugin → Marketplaces → select relativity-builder-skills → Enable auto-update. Because this repo is public, that's the only setup step — unlike a private marketplace, background refreshes can fetch it with no credential.

  Once enabled, Claude Code checks for updates shortly after a session starts, with a random delay of up to ten minutes. The session you're in keeps the versions it loaded at launch, so a new skill shows up either when you run /reload-plugins or in your next session, not mid-turn.

  Whichever you skip, /plugin marketplace update relativity-builder-skills always works as the fallback.

Uninstalling

/plugin uninstall relativity-builder-skills@relativity-builder-skills

Other AI clients

The plugin/marketplace mechanism above is specific to Claude Code. Until we add first-class support for other clients, the best way to use these skills elsewhere is to pull down the repo and point your tool at it directly:

git clone https://github.com/relativitydev/relativity-builder-skills.git

Each skill lives under skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md as a self-contained Markdown file: frontmatter (name, description) followed by instructions. Most AI coding assistants can be pointed at a specific file, or have its contents pasted into context, and will follow it for the rest of the session. Check your client's docs for how it prefers to ingest custom instructions or context files.
