Genshijin Skills — Setup Guide¶
Source: interfacex-co-jp/genshijin GitHub: interfacex-co-jp/genshijin Skills: 7 skills · 19.2K total installs Category: Agent Communication First Seen: April 7, 2026 (catalogued August 18, 2026 sweep) Quality Tier: 🟢 Production — Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass, and Snyk Pass on the genshijin flagship; 310 GitHub stars; #2 on the hot page at sweep time
Genshijin (原始人, "primitive man") is a Japanese concise-reply framework for coding agents. The core skill enforces brutal brevity — all technical content kept, all filler removed — with three persistent modes (通常 normal, 丁寧 polite, 極限 extreme) switched via a slash command, and it stays active across turns, resisting politeness regression and filler drift. Six companion skills extend it into a full workflow: genshijin-commit (concise conventional commits), genshijin-review (terse code review), genshijin-compress (context compression), genshijin-help, genshijin-stats, and genshijin-crew (multi-agent crew coordination). The cluster sits at #2 on the skills.sh hot page with genshijin-commit at +13 installs in one hour.
Installation¶
npx skills add interfacex-co-jp/genshijin
Individual skills install with the explicit repo form:
npx skills add https://github.com/interfacex-co-jp/genshijin --skill genshijin
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Node.js + npx | For the skill installer |
| Japanese-capable agent | The SKILL.md content ships in Japanese; the framework works for any language output but the instruction text is Japanese |

| genshijin-compress | 2.7K | Context compression for long sessions |
| genshijin-review | 2.7K | Terse code review feedback |
| genshijin-help | 2.7K | Usage help for the framework |
| genshijin-stats | 2.7K | Reply-length and mode statistics |

CorpusIQ Use Cases¶
| Use Case | How |
|---|---|
| Token discipline | genshijin and genshijin-compress align with our field-filtering and memory-compaction token strategy |
| Consistent commit style | genshijin-commit enforces concise conventional commits across agent-built repos |
| Multi-agent coordination | genshijin-crew maps to multi-agent orchestration workflows |
| Reply hygiene | Mode persistence prevents filler drift on long-running agent sessions |
Limitations / Verification¶
- Security audits on the genshijin flagship: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass, Snyk Pass
- Publisher-page total verified (19.2K across 7 skills); 310 GitHub stars as of the sweep
- Below the 20K install guide bar — drafted on #2 hot-page position, +13 one-hour momentum on genshijin-commit, and Japanese corporate publisher (interfacex-co-jp)
- SKILL.md instruction text is Japanese — the skills.sh excerpt and install content carry over untranslated and agents must handle the original-language instructions (same handling as the wecomteam suites)
npx skills add interfacex-co-jp/genshijin # verify install works
