Установка

Выберите клиент

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "woodshed-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/gaearon/woodshed",
        "~/.claude/skills/woodshed"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Откройте Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Перезапустите после сохранения.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "woodshed-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/gaearon/woodshed",
        "~/.claude/skills/woodshed"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor использует ту же схему mcpServers, что и Claude Desktop. Конфиг проекта приоритетнее глобального.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "woodshed-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/gaearon/woodshed",
        "~/.claude/skills/woodshed"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Щёлкните значок MCP Servers на боковой панели Cline, затем "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "woodshed-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/gaearon/woodshed",
        "~/.claude/skills/woodshed"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Тот же формат, что и Claude Desktop. Перезапустите Windsurf для применения.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "woodshed-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/gaearon/woodshed",
        "~/.claude/skills/woodshed"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue использует массив объектов серверов, а не map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "woodshed-skill": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/gaearon/woodshed",
          "~/.claude/skills/woodshed"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Добавьте в context_servers. Zed перезагружается автоматически.

claude mcp add woodshed-skill -- git clone https://github.com/gaearon/woodshed ~/.claude/skills/woodshed

Однострочная команда. Проверить: claude mcp list. Удалить: claude mcp remove.

Сценарии использования

Реальные сценарии: woodshed

Author a new skill and iterate it to 'actually works'

👤 Skill authors who've noticed their first drafts don't survive real use ⏱ ~120 min advanced

Когда использовать: You have an idea for a skill but every time you write one, it degrades after 3 uses.

Предварительные требования

Skill installed — git clone https://github.com/gaearon/woodshed ~/.claude/skills/woodshed

Поток

Scaffold

Use woodshed. Create a new skill called 'changelog-writer' that turns git logs into user-facing changelogs.✓ Скопировано

→ skills/changelog-writer/ created with SKILL.md
Create test cases

Generate 5 diverse test inputs.✓ Скопировано

→ tests/ folder with 5 sample git log fixtures
Run and rate

Run the skill on each. Show me the output; I'll rate.✓ Скопировано

→ Outputs presented with rating slots
Iterate based on ratings

Based on my ratings, suggest prompt changes to SKILL.md. Don't apply yet.✓ Скопировано

→ Proposed diff with rationale per change

Итог: A skill that works on your real use cases, not just the demo.

Подводные камни

Overfitting to test cases — Hold out some tests; re-run after every iteration to catch regressions

Сочетать с: filesystem

Improve a skill that's been disappointing you

👤 Anyone with a skill installed they're unhappy with ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Когда использовать: You have a skill that half-works and you can't tell why.

Поток

Characterize the failures

Use woodshed. Here's a skill I installed. Here are 3 sessions where it underperformed. Diagnose.✓ Скопировано

→ Pattern in failures — instruction gap, example gap, framing issue
Propose fixes

Propose minimal SKILL.md edits to address those patterns.✓ Скопировано

→ Specific diffs

Итог: A skill you can trust.

Комбинации

Сочетайте с другими MCP — эффект x10

woodshed-skill + skill-fetch-skill

Find skills with skill-fetch, improve them with woodshed

Find a changelog-writer skill; install; run woodshed on it to tune for my repo.✓ Скопировано

woodshed-skill + filesystem

Persist iteration history across sessions

Keep woodshed logs in skills/<name>/.woodshed/ for traceability.✓ Скопировано

Инструменты

Что предоставляет этот MCP

Инструмент	Входные данные	Когда вызывать
scaffold_skill	skill name, goal	New skill
run_tests	skill + test set	Evaluating
capture_rating	rating + notes	After each test
iterate_prompt	skill + ratings	After a rating round

Стоимость и лимиты

Во что обходится

Квота API: None
Токенов на вызов: High during iteration (many test runs)
Деньги: Free (Claude API usage applies)
Совет: Keep test sets small — 5 tests beats 50 that never get reviewed.

Безопасность

Права, секреты, радиус поражения

Хранение учётных данных: None

Исходящий трафик: None from skill

Устранение неполадок

Частые ошибки и исправления

Iteration keeps changing but doesn't improve

Your test set is too narrow; add diverse cases

Skill works in woodshed but not in real use

Production prompts differ from test fixtures; add real-session logs to the test set

Альтернативы

woodshed в сравнении

Альтернатива	Когда использовать	Компромисс
Hand-tuning SKILL.md without loop	Simple skills with obvious prompts	Slower convergence; easier to miss regressions
claude-skills-vault-skill	You want ready-made skills, not authoring tools	Different goal
