On October 28, 2026, the MiniMax Code team open-sourced MCode Stack, packaging the Agent workflows and Skills the team uses daily into installable SKILL.md files and manifests, which can be integrated as plugins into MiniMax Code and any Agents that support Skills. The repository packages stacks by member, among which stacks/ronny/ is the most complete, containing 15 skills covering sub-Agent decomposition, context and tool budget auditing, long-session handoff, independent review, and hotfix judgment. An accompanying notes/ column, MCode Engineering Notes, explains the rationale; six engineering-* entries are adapted from Google Engineering Practices, with the adapted portions retaining CC-BY 3.0 and the rest under MIT. The next day, reports stated that the project is open-sourced under the MIT license, includes 17 SKILL.md skills and 5 manifests, does not contain MiniMax Code source code, and can be installed by copying the skill directories, via a local plugin, or through a plugin marketplace, and can also be installed in Claude Code; the original text did not publish evaluation results.

On October 28, MiniMax open-sourced MCode Stack under the MIT license, including the 17 SKILL.md skills and 5 checklists its team used to build MiniMax Code, but not the MiniMax Code source code. The skills are grouped into planning and decomposition, context and tools, long sessions and commands, review, and experiments and hotfixes, among which independent-review provides reviewers only with the diff, requirements, and test results. It can be installed into MiniMax Code by copying the skill directories, via a local plugin, or through the plugin marketplace, and can also be installed in Claude Code with /plugin marketplace add MiniMax-AI/mcode-stack; the original article did not publish evaluation results.
