The /sheep skill

Spacesheep includes a Claude Code skill called /sheep that generates publication-quality documents following perception science best practices — optimized typography, information hierarchy, data visualization, and perception-optimized light theme.

Usage in Claude Code:

/sheep quarterly metrics report from this data...
/sheep architecture overview of the payment system
/sheep comparison of React vs Svelte for our use case

The skill builds a self-contained HTML document and deploys it to spacesheep automatically. Documents follow principles from Tufte, perceptual psychology, and modern web typography:

  • Inverted pyramid structure (conclusion first)
  • 55–75 char line length, proper type scale
  • Direct data labeling, meaningful sort order
  • Right-aligned numbers, sticky table headers
  • Light theme, responsive, fully self-contained

Installing the skill

One-line install:

curl -fsSL https://spacesheep.app/install.sh | bash

Or via npm:

npx spacesheep-skill

Install globally (available in all projects):

curl -fsSL https://spacesheep.app/install.sh | bash -s -- -g
npx spacesheep-skill -g

Required after installation: Restart your Claude session (exit and run claude again, or start a new terminal) for the MCP server and tools to take effect.

The installer downloads the skill and optionally configures the MCP server.
