Codacy Skills for Claude

A collection of Claude skills that teach Claude how to use the Codacy CLI to improve code quality workflows.

Skills

Skill	Description
codacy-cloud-cli	Use the Codacy Cloud CLI to query issues, findings, pull requests, tools, and patterns
codacy-code-review	Enrich code reviews with Codacy data — issues, coverage, security, duplication
configure-codacy	Tailor Codacy configuration to your project and reduce noise
setup-coverage	Set up test coverage reporting and upload to Codacy
codacy-analysis-cli	Run local static analysis using the Codacy Analysis CLI

Requirements

• Codacy CLI installed (npm install -g @codacy/codacy-cloud-cli)
• Codacy Analysis CLI installed (npm install -g @codacy/analysis-cli)
• CODACY_API_TOKEN environment variable set (obtain from Codacy > My Account > Access Management > Account API Tokens) or use the codacy login command (interactive login)

Installation

Claude Code (recommended)

Install all Codacy skills in one step via the plugin marketplace:

claude plugin marketplace add codacy/codacy-skills
claude plugin install codacy-skills@codacy

Or install from a local clone:

git clone https://github.com/codacy/codacy-skills
claude plugin marketplace add ./codacy-skills
claude plugin install codacy-skills@codacy

Claude.ai

1. Download the skill folder you want (e.g. codacy-cloud-cli/)
2. Zip it
3. Go to Claude.ai > Settings > Capabilities > Skills > Upload skill

Local development

If you installed the plugin from the marketplace, Claude Code will use the published version — not your local edits. To test local changes, use --plugin-dir to load the plugin directly from your working copy:

# from the repo directory
claude --plugin-dir .

# or from anywhere, using the path
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/codacy-skills

This bypasses the marketplace entirely. Your local SKILL.md files are what Claude sees.

Development workflow

1. Start Claude Code with --plugin-dir as above
2. Edit your skill files under skills/
3. Run /reload-plugins inside the session to pick up changes (no restart needed)
4. Test your skills

Avoiding conflicts with the marketplace version

If you have the marketplace plugin installed and want to be sure you're always hitting local code, uninstall the marketplace copy:

claude plugin uninstall codacy-skills@codacy

Reinstall it when you're done developing:

claude plugin install codacy-skills@codacy
