mcode-stack
The workflows and skills the MiniMax Code team runs every day to build MiniMax Code — fifteen engineering-habit skills in the ronny stack plus a second author's stack, installable as one plugin into Claude Code or Codex.
mcode-stack is not a prompt collection: it is what people on the MiniMax Code team actually run, each piece a SKILL.md skill or checklist that installs straight into MiniMax Code — and, since the skills use the common format, into Claude Code and Codex too. The ronny stack, by the MiniMax Code R&D lead, holds fifteen skills organized by moment in the day: plan and split (subagent-split-check decides subagent versus main loop, engineering-small-prs splits large features into reviewable PRs, engineering-change-descriptions writes PR and commit descriptions), context and tools (tool-budget-audit measures what tools cost in context, context-tax-audit shows what gets injected into every request and what it does to the prompt cache), long sessions (long-session-check, handoff-doc, and long-command-check, a ten-point audit of long shell commands and background tasks), review (independent-review runs on a clean context with only the diff, the requirement and test results; plus engineering-code-review, engineering-review-comments and engineering-review-feedback) and experiments and hotfixes (harness-experiment: a small eval, one change at a time, look at the flipped tasks; trajectory-review looks at how the agent got its result; engineering-emergency-changes decides whether a hotfix is a real emergency). The jiachen stack adds lifting-loops, which finds the loops where you keep acting as a manual step for your agents, and making-content, which turns notes into Xiaohongshu image posts and short vertical videos. Each skill pairs with an article in the team's MCode Engineering Notes column (five so far, from subagent context management to the one field that breaks a whole prefix cache). Install the whole stack as a plugin — claude plugin install ronny --marketplace MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack — or copy a single skill folder into ~/.agents/skills/. MIT, except the engineering-* skills adapted from Google Engineering Practices, which stay under CC-BY 3.0.
What it does
- Fifteen skills in the ronny stack, arranged by moment in the day — plan and split, context and tools, long sessions, review, experiments and hotfixes
- Review from a clean context — independent-review sees only the diff, the requirement and test results, so it does not inherit the author's reasoning
- Context hygiene made measurable — tool-budget-audit costs every tool in context, context-tax-audit shows what each request injects and what it does to the prompt cache
- One command installs a whole stack as a plugin — claude plugin install ronny --marketplace MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack; use jiachen in place of ronny for the second stack
- Runnable counterpart to the MCode Engineering Notes column — five articles, each mapped to the skills that implement it
When to use it
Teams standardizing how they work with coding agents: adopt the ronny stack as a review gate (independent-review plus engineering-small-prs), audit context spend when sessions get slow or expensive, or hand long-running work over with handoff-doc so a fresh session picks it up. The repo ships a validate CI workflow, and the same skills run in MiniMax Code, Claude Code and Codex.
Getting started
claude plugin install ronny --marketplace MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack # in a Claude Code session: /plugin install ronny --marketplace MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack # older Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack /plugin install ronny@mcode-stack # Codex: codex plugin marketplace add MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack codex plugin add ronny@mcode-stack # one skill only: git clone https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack.git ~/mcode-stack mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills cp -R ~/mcode-stack/stacks/ronny/skills/long-command-check ~/.agents/skills/ Use jiachen in place of ronny for that stack.
Things to know
Created 2026-10-28 (493 stars as of writing). This repository holds workflows and skills only — MiniMax Code itself lives in MiniMax-AI/minimax-code. Pull requests are accepted only from repository collaborators; if you are not one, open an issue first. MIT except where a stack's NOTICE.md says otherwise: the engineering-* skills are adapted from Google Engineering Practices and stay under CC-BY 3.0. Marketplace-based install in MiniMax Code desktop is rolling out gradually, so your version may not have it yet — the skills still run anywhere SKILL.md skills are supported.
