# opchain > opchain is a set of interconnected Claude Code / MCP skills that form a software-development pipeline: concept → spec → design → build → ship → operate. Each skill is a SKILL.md the model reads and follows. You invoke a skill by name; skills read each other's checkpoints when you chain them, so context carries forward across a session you drive. Install the skills into `.claude/skills/`, or point any MCP client (Codex, Claude Desktop, …) at the hosted server at https://opchain.dev/mcp. ## Skills - [OC · Agent Forge](https://opchain.dev/docs/oc-agent-forge/SKILL.md): Scaffold Claude Agent SDK apps — subagent topology, tool budgets, harness loops, agent eval. Tri-agent. - [OC · API Developer](https://opchain.dev/docs/oc-api-dev/SKILL.md): First-party API design, OpenAPI, versioning, SDKs. v1.2 files breaking-change + deprecation tickets; drift on PR. - [OC · App Architect](https://opchain.dev/docs/oc-app-architect/SKILL.md): Idea → spec → design → build → launch in one skill.

Willing to say don't. - [OC · Monitoring Ops](https://opchain.dev/docs/oc-monitoring-ops/SKILL.md): Post-deploy observability — uptime, errors, alerts, incidents. Opens PM incident tickets when alerts fire. - [OC · Orchestrator](https://opchain.dev/docs/oc-orchestrator/SKILL.md): Pipeline coordinator — registry, status, routing. v1.2 reads `pm_refs` across skills; routes by ticket id. - [OC · Prompt Ops](https://opchain.dev/docs/oc-prompt-ops/SKILL.md): Prompt-as-code — versioning, eval datasets, regression and drift detection for LLM prompts. - [OC · QA Ops](https://opchain.dev/docs/oc-qa-ops/SKILL.md): Test-pyramid design: coverage strategy, contract-test planning, load-test planning.
