# agent-skills A collection of Agent Skills: folders of instructions, plus small scripts where needed, that an agent such as Claude loads when a task calls for them. Each skill lives in its own folder under `skills/` and is self-contained. Fixed context lives in this file, current state in `STATUS.md`. **To see where things stand, read `STATUS.md` first.** ## Folder layout | Path | Contents | |---|---| | `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` | The skill itself: YAML frontmatter (`name`, `description`) and instructions | | `skills/<name>/...` | Anything the skill needs: scripts, templates, reference files | | `skills/<name>/config.example.yaml` | For configurable skills: every setting, commented, with defaults | ## Rules for every skill in this repo - **Nothing personal, ever.** No email addresses, usernames, local paths, account names, client or project names, tokens, or anything that only makes sense on one person's machine. A value that differs between users belongs in the skill's config file, which lives outside the repo (`~/.config/<skill>/config.yaml`) and is never committed. Examples use neutral placeholders. - **Works with no config.** Every setting has a sensible default. Optional integrations (a second GitHub account, a cloud storage folder, a project registry) are skipped cleanly when not configured, and the README says they are optional. - **First run sets itself up.** A configurable skill checks whether its config file exists. If not, it detects what it can (cloud storage folders, `gh` accounts), asks only for the rest, and writes the file. It never asks again unless told to reconfigure. - **English only**, in skill text, templates, triggers and docs. - **No em dashes, en dashes or double hyphens** in anything written. Use commas, colons, parentheses or a new sentence. - **Each skill has a README section** covering what it does, how to install it, every config key (what it is for, required or optional, default, example), and what it will never do. - Never commit `.env`, config files with real values, or OS junk (`.DS_Store`). ## Adding or updating a skill 1. Put it in `skills/<kebab-case-name>/` with a `SKILL.md` whose `description` says what it does and when to use it, with concrete trigger phrases. 2. Scan for anything personal before committing (see the rule above). A useful check: `grep -rniE "@|/Users/|/home/|token|secret" skills/<name>`. 3. Test it on a throwaway target before calling it done. 4. Update the README index and `STATUS.md`.
