ronny
The first stack in MCode Stack: the workflows and self-check skills of
Ronny, R&D lead of MiniMax Code. Most skills pair with an article in the
MCode Engineering Notes series (see ../../notes/).
Install
In Claude Code, one command installs this stack. In a shell:
claude plugin install ronny --marketplace MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack
Inside a session:
/plugin install ronny --marketplace MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack
Older Claude Code can add the marketplace first, then install:
/plugin marketplace add MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack
/plugin install ronny@mcode-stack
In Codex, add the marketplace, then install from the Plugins Directory or the CLI:
codex plugin marketplace add MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack
codex plugin add ronny@mcode-stack
In MiniMax Code, copy this whole directory into the local plugin directory
shown by mcode plugin marketplace list, or copy single skills into
~/.agents/skills/. See the repository README.
Skills
| Skill | What it does | Notes |
|---|---|---|
independent-review | Review a diff from a clean context: only diff, requirement and test results; structured findings verified before fixing | 01 |
subagent-split-check | Decide whether work goes to a subagent or stays in the main loop; merge existing subagents back step by step | 01 |
harness-experiment | Run a harness change as an experiment: small eval, one change, repeated runs, flipped tasks | 01, 02, 05 |
tool-budget-audit | Measure what tools cost in context and pick between trimming, tool search and programmatic tool calling | 02 |
long-session-check | Drop, summarize or write to file; when to compact vs. start fresh; review compaction and memory design | 03 |
handoff-doc | Write a hand-off doc (goal, decisions, ruled out, next step) so a new session can pick up | 01, 03 |
long-command-check | Ten-point audit of how an agent runs long shell commands and background tasks | 04 |
context-tax-audit | Inventory what is injected into every request and how it affects the prompt cache | 05 |
trajectory-review | Review how the agent got its result, not only whether it passed | - |
