Agent Workflow Claude Skills

4 121 agent workflow skills from 665 authors. They configure the agents themselves: memory, prompts, context and other skills. Half of them fit into 1 845 tokens or less — that is what one costs your context window when the agent loads it. 778 ship runnable scripts rather than instructions alone. 5 of them cannot work without an MCP server, most often task. We also found 541 copies of these same skills sitting in other people's repositories — counted once here, not 541 times.

Skill Author
by arbiterForge

The authoring gate for new skills. Routed to when the user invokes /new-skill "<gap>". Five gated phases — gap evidence, scope, authoring, self-review against the v2 house style, routing integration. A new skill is not written until an existing one is proven not to cover the gap, and not shipped until it carries gated phases, hard rules, and a routing entry. Every authored skill matches the v2 format (frontmatter name+description, # name, Pre-flight, Phase N · gate, Hard rules).

Using Git Worktrees
by arbiterForge

OPTIONAL per-task isolation for autonomous parallel work. Routed to only on explicit opt-in by subagent-driven-development or dispatching-parallel-agents, so parallel units mutate files without colliding. Stands up one worktree per unit, works it in isolation, then integrates each unit back onto the caller's working branch for the caller's single commit-gate + finishing-a-development-branch exit. Never on the default path; it does not bypass a gate or finish per unit.

Agent Routing
by oaustegard

Decide which model (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus) and effort level each subagent gets, when to cascade cheap-first behind a verifier, and how to run improvement loops safely (evaluator-as-selector, stop on regression). Covers the Managed Agents effort mechanics (per-agent effort levels, cost lever) and how to watch a subagent fan-out stream live so loop and escalation gates have something to observe. Use when spawning subagents via the Agent or Workflow tools, when fanning out more than a handful of agents, or when the user asks which model or effort a task should route to. Routing heuristics grounded in measured calibration data (references/calibration-2026-07-15.md), not vibes; the Managed Agents API specifics are operational, not calibrated.

4k tokens
Controlling Spotify
by oaustegard

Control Spotify playback and manage playlists via MCP server. Use when user requests playing music, controlling Spotify, creating playlists, searching songs, or managing their Spotify library.

8k tokens scripts
Configuring
by oaustegard

Universal environment variable loader for AI agent environments. Loads secrets and config from Claude.ai, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Jules, and standard .env files.

9k tokens scripts
Container Layer
by oaustegard

Build and cache a personalized container environment from a Dockerfile-like spec. Supports both single-layer (one Containerfile -> one cached tarball) and multi-layer composition (compose [base, scientific, mojo, ...] into one container with each layer cached independently). Use when the user mentions "container layer", "Containerfile", "custom container", "environment setup", "cache my installs", "uv shim", "composable layers", or wants to persist package installations, skills, or environment config across ephemeral sessions. Also triggers when the user asks to snapshot, restore, or rebuild their environment, or wants to capture ad-hoc package installs into a reproducible spec.

18k tokens scripts
Crafting Instructions
by oaustegard

Generate optimized instructions for Claude (Project instructions, Skills, or standalone prompts). Use when users request creating project setups, writing effective prompts, building Skills, or need guidance on instruction types for Claude.ai.

14k tokens

18k tokens scripts
Creating Kb
by oaustegard

Builds a portable, embedding-free knowledgebase from a set of files and delivers it as a self-contained `.skill` bundle (BM25 index + bundled searcher + query protocol). Use when a user wants to turn uploaded files, a folder, or a corpus into a searchable knowledgebase they can hand to any agent — phrased as "make a knowledgebase", "build a KB skill", "package these docs for retrieval", "create a searchable bundle", or references to a `.skill` KB. The output runs anywhere with Node or Python — no model, no install, no network. Distinct from `bm25` (ephemeral in-session search) and `building-github-index` (markdown project-knowledge index).

15k tokens scripts
Creating Skill
by oaustegard

Creates Skills for Claude. Use when users request creating/updating skills, need skill structure guidance, or mention extending Claude's capabilities through custom skills.

12k tokens
Down Skilling
by oaustegard

>- Distill Opus-level reasoning into optimized instructions for Haiku 4.5 (and Sonnet). Generates explicit, procedural prompts with n-shot examples that maximize smaller model performance on a given task. Use when user says "down-skill", "distill for Haiku", "optimize for Haiku", "make this work on Haiku", "generate Haiku instructions", or needs to delegate a task to a smaller model with high reliability.

23k tokens
Finding Skills
by oaustegard

Discover and load skills on demand from /mnt/skills/user/. Use when you need a capability but don't know which skill provides it, when the boot-emitted skill list is names-only and you need a full description, or when you want to list the catalog. Verbs are list (names only), search (rank by name/description match against a query), and show (emit the full SKILL.md for a named skill).

Generative Thinking
by oaustegard

Break out of a locked problem frame by picking one disciplined move — reframe, provocation (Po), random stimulus, SCAMPER, inversion, perspective shift, constraint play, or family traversal — and committing to it before evaluating. Use when stuck, when options feel narrow or obvious, when iterations produce variations of the same idea, or when the user says "widen this", "break out of", "think differently", "I'm stuck", "feels too obvious", "stress-test the framing", "what am I missing", or holds two related examples and asks what lies between or beyond them. Complements challenging (which evaluates) and convening-experts (which synthesizes viewpoints); this skill generates distance, not judgment.

5k tokens
Installing Skills
by oaustegard

Install skills from github.com/oaustegard/claude-skills into /mnt/skills/user. Use when user mentions "install skills", "load skills", "add skills", "update skills", "refresh skills", or references a skill not currently installed.

926 tokens scripts
Invoking Antigravity
by oaustegard

Install and drive Google's Antigravity CLI (`agy`) as a non-interactive sub-agent. Use when orchestrating agy, running Antigravity agents from a script or sandbox, delegating a task to Google's agent harness, or wanting a Gemini-backed peer agent alongside Claude.

4k tokens scripts
Optimizing Skills
by oaustegard

Disciplined, validation-gated revision of an EXISTING skill so each edit is a measured improvement rather than a guess. Use when editing, revising, or tuning a skill that already exists and there is evidence it underperforms (observed failures, drift, complaints) — invoke by name, or have versioning-skills / creating-skill defer to it before applying edits. Not for authoring a brand-new skill from scratch (use creating-skill) or one-off prose.

Orchestrating Agents
by oaustegard

Orchestrates parallel API instances, delegated sub-tasks, and multi-agent workflows with streaming and tool-enabled delegation patterns. Routes by surface — native subagents in Cowork and Claude Code, httpx fan-out on claude.ai — and covers Gemini delegation via the Cloudflare AI Gateway on every surface. Use for parallel analysis, multi-perspective reviews, or complex task decomposition.

Orchestrating Skills
by oaustegard

>- Skill-aware orchestration with context routing. Decomposes complex tasks into skill-typed subtasks, extracts targeted context subsets, executes subagents in parallel, and synthesizes results. Self-answers trivial lookups inline. No SDK dependency — uses raw HTTP via httpx. Use when tasks require multiple analytical perspectives, when context is large and subtasks only need portions, or when orchestrating-agents spawns too many redundant subagents.

12k tokens scripts
Tiling Tree
by oaustegard

Exhaustive problem space exploration using the MIT Synthetic Neurobiology "tiling tree" method. Partitions a problem into MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) subsets recursively via parallel subagents, then evaluates leaf ideas against specified criteria. Use when users say "tiling tree", "tile the solution space", "exhaustively explore approaches to", "what are all the ways to", or request a MECE breakdown of a problem. Requires orchestrating-agents skill.

4k tokens scripts
Uploading Files
by oaustegard

File-upload bridge for Claude Code on the Web. CCotw has no native file mount; this skill creates a throwaway GitHub branch the user can drop files onto via the github.com web UI, then fetches them locally on the next turn. Use when the user wants to upload, share, or send files into the session, or when a task clearly needs files the user has on disk that aren't in the repo.

Embedded Debugger
by Adancurusul

Embedded hardware debugging workflow for probe-rs targets using embedded-debugger-mcp.
