The open format is called Agent Skills and works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents — most people know it as Claude Skills.
Every Agent Skill we could find on GitHub, deduplicated by content. 79 870 files from 1 769 authors, of which 62 217 are unique — the rest is the same skill repackaged into someone else's repository. For each one: what it weighs in tokens, whether it ships runnable scripts, and which MCP servers it needs.
Use only when the user explicitly asks for TDD, a failing test, or a regression test, OR when the bug has an obvious cheap local test target. Skip when the test path is unclear, expensive, integration-heavy, or not requested.
Explain a body of work plainly so a person actually understands it. Runs the `how` and `why` skills and weaves what they find into one clear explanation. Use for 'teach me this', 'help me really understand X', 'explain this change or subsystem to me'.
Layered technical-writing standard: Diátaxis structure, Google developer style sentences, STE instruction rules, Global English syntax. Use for /technical-writing or when writing or reviewing docs, RFCs, readmes, PR descriptions, or commit messages.
Run an extremely strict maintainability review for abstraction quality, giant files, and spaghetti-condition growth. Use for a thermo-nuclear code quality review, thermonuclear review, deep code quality audit, or especially harsh maintainability review.
TypeScript best practices. Use when reading or editing any .ts or .tsx file.
Cut AI tells from any writing. Must always apply.
Summarize authored commits over a user-specified time period into a concise update
Use for 'why does X work this way', 'why we picked Y', design rationale, regressions, postmortems, or data-backed thresholds. Discovers available MCPs and queries each evidence category (source control, issue tracker, long-form docs, real-time chat, infrastructure observability, error tracking, product analytics warehouse) in parallel, then returns a cited read on decisions and tradeoffs. Use how for runtime behavior.

Drive static-analysis code quality in pi-agent-dashboard with Biome (analyze → fix → test), in changed-files or whole-repo mode. Use when asked to "improve code quality", "lint and fix", "clean up warnings", "fix Biome issues", "run static analysis", or when setting a code-quality goal. Skip for one-line edits.
Diagnose problems in the running pi-agent-dashboard system: server.log, /api/health, bridge WebSocket connectivity, vitest triage, known-issue FAQ entries. Routes UI/visual issues to the browser skill. Use when the server seems hung, a pi session won''t connect, tests fail mysteriously, the dashboard shows a blank page, restart loops, port conflicts, or any "why isn''t X working" question.
Dashboard-specific adapter on the generic frontend-mockup-loop skill: binds the 7-step design loop to pi-agent-dashboard component sources, theme-system tokens, and isolated verification. Use when designing/redesigning any pi-agent-dashboard client surface. Triggers: "design a dashboard screen", "mockup a dashboard surface", "redesign SessionCard", "make dashboard UI consistent".
Disciplined implementation in pi-agent-dashboard: the rebuild matrix (extension→reload, server→restart, client→build+restart, openspec-apply→full rebuild) plus the project''s code discipline rules. Use when writing code, after editing extension/server/client, after applying an OpenSpec change, when unsure what to rebuild, or before committing. Triggers: "rebuild and restart", "TDD this".
Diagnose failed GitHub Actions runs for pi-agent-dashboard: the 10-file workflow taxonomy, the release pipeline, known failure modes, and how to read `gh run` logs and retrigger jobs. Use when a CI run is red, a release is stuck, a workflow won''t dispatch, or you need to know which workflow does what. See `release-cut` to trigger a release, `release-revoke` to revoke one.
Develop-side planning orchestrator for an OpenSpec change: artifact creation → doubt-driven-review → scenario-design → fold of automated scenarios into tasks.md, then STOPS at the git-worktree boundary. Main interactive session only; never a subagent. Triggers: "plan this change", "draft the proposal and plan", "scaffold + review + fold", "prep a change for building".
Cut a new pi-agent-dashboard release: promote `## [Unreleased]` in CHANGELOG.md, bump every workspace package.json per SemVer, commit, tag `v<version>`, and push — triggering the Release workflow that publishes every non-private workspace, builds the Electron artifacts, and creates a GitHub Release. Use on "cut a release", "release vX.Y.Z", "publish a new version", "tag a release".
Create and edit pi-flows flows and agents from the main session. Use when the user wants to create a new flow, add or change an agent, or edit an existing flow/agent. Covers agent frontmatter, flow YAML, step types, model references, the flow_agents and flow_write tools, write locations, and how to fix validation errors.
Run Playwright E2E (tests/e2e/) against the docker/ all-in-one harness so it reflects LOCAL code changes, not a stale cached image.
Switch a monorepo extension/skill package between its published npm source and its local working-tree source, guaranteeing exactly one source per package. Use when "my edits don't take effect", "load local extension", "test the published npm build", or reconciling dev vs distribution package sources.
Revoke or rollback a pi-agent-dashboard release: delete the GitHub Release, remove the git tag locally and on origin, deprecate the npm version (`npm unpublish` is blocked after 72h), and optionally revert the release commit. Use when the user says "revoke release", "rollback release", "delete release", "unpublish vX.Y.Z", "yank release".
Ship an OpenSpec change after openspec-apply completes. When only QA/manual tasks remain, marks them done (tested later), archives + syncs specs, commits, pushes, opens a PR against develop, watches CI, waits for CodeRabbit, auto-applies safe fixes and re-pushes, loops until CI green + no actionable review threads, then squash-merges with branch delete and removes the worktree. Use after implementation is done and the change is ready to land. Triggers: \"ship this change\", \"ship it\", \"land the change\", \"merge and clean up\", \"post-apply ship\".
Worktree-side implementation orchestrator for an OpenSpec change. Idempotent: gates automated scenarios on filesystem reality, owns the red-test fix loop, runs the docker harness with always-teardown, then drives ship-change inline. Escape hatch writes SHIP_IT_BLOCKED.md. Runnable headless. Triggers: "ship it", "build and ship this change", "run ship-it", "implement + test + land in the worktree".
CSS custom properties theme architecture for 4 themes (studio, earth, athlete, gradient) with data-theme attribute switching and theme-aware components. Use when implementing theme switching, defining color schemes, or creating theme-responsive UI elements.
A mechanical, countable anti-slop checklist for AI-generated frontend. Catches the specific signatures an undirected model defaults to: AI-purple glows, Inter-everywhere, em-dashes, div-based fake screenshots, eyebrow-on-every-section, beige+brass \"premium\" palettes, generic Jane Doe / Acme data. Advisory layer that pairs with frontend-mockup-loop (which owns the cite-a-source loop plus WCAG gates) but works standalone in any React/Tailwind/HTML project. Triggers: \"does this look AI-generated\", \"anti-slop pass\", \"remove the AI tells\", \"why does this look templated\", \"design review for slop\".
Reach Apple PIM data (Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Messages, Location, Maps, Weather) from a pi session via iMCP + pi-mcp-adapter on macOS. Use when the user asks to read/search their Apple Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, iMessages, current Location, Maps, or Weather. Does NOT cover Apple Mail — iMCP exposes no Mail service; use apple-mail-fast-export for email.
Mine docs/faq.md from README.md, docs/*.md, and the pi-hermes memory stores. Dispatches @fast subagents per source, dedupes against the existing FAQ, and merges entries in caveman style. Use when asked to "build / regenerate / extend the FAQ", "mine docs into FAQ", "mine hermes memory into FAQ", "surface runtime problems in the FAQ", or "create FAQ from README + docs".
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
Turn a pi session into a Markdown "how-we-did-it" collaboration guideline: reads the session''s JSONL transcript and synthesizes a reusable playbook of which prompts worked, what had to be steered, and how to reproduce the result faster. Use when: "document this session", "write up how we did X with the AI", "make a guideline from this session", "turn this session into a playbook/tutorial".
AI-powered code review using CodeRabbit. Default code-review skill. Trigger for any explicit review request AND autonomously when the agent thinks a review is needed (code/PR/quality/security). Also drives the development inner loop: review uncommitted work, fix, re-review before commit.
Turn an existing pi skill into an isolated subagent and wire it into a project''s implementation pipeline. Decides fitness first, writes the bridge agent, routes the model, tunes context inheritance, and wires a spawn checkpoint. Use on "wrap this skill as a subagent", "turn X into a subagent", "should this be a subagent or a skill", "subagentize this", "add a subagent to the pipeline".
> Scaffold a new pi-dashboard plugin in the dashboard monorepo, OR augment an existing pi-extension project on disk with dashboard plugin contributions. agent follows. Use when the user asks to "create a dashboard plugin", "add dashboard support to my extension", "scaffold a plugin", or similar.
Estimate developer cost and effort for a set of use cases, functional and non-functional requirements on a given technology stack. Produces an architecture plan, a role-resolved man-hour estimate with P50/P85/P95 ranges, a side-by-side comparison of four delivery modes (human only, human + AI, AI-steered human-supervised, agentic HITL), and a business case with NPV/ROI/payback/TCO and a must-should-could scope ladder. Use when the user asks "how much would this cost to build", "estimate this project", "how many man-days", "make an offer/quote", "what would it cost with AI vs without", "build a business case for this feature", or wants to size a backlog, an RFP response, or a change request.
Offline-mine this project''s pi session JSONL logs into reusable, verified knowledge: extracts faults, decisions, corrections, procedures and docs, promotes only recurring patterns, and routes artifacts into skill_manage, memory and docs. Use on "mine my sessions", "distill session knowledge", "extract lessons from logs", "turn my pi history into skills/memory".
Summarize documents of any size: extract with the document-converter engine, chunk to fit context, fan out to subagents, then synthesize one unified summary. Handles PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, CSV, TXT, MD. Triggers: "summarize this document", "what''s in this PDF", "give me a summary of these files", "extract key points from", "condense this document", "TL;DR of this file".
Convert documents bidirectionally via the pi-doc-engine facade: ingest PDF/DOCX/PPTX/XLSX to provenance-stamped Markdown (with OCR), and produce templated DOCX/PDF from Markdown with diagrams, TOC and round-trip merge. Use on "convert this PDF to markdown", "ingest these docs into kb", "make a DOCX from markdown with our template", "render this spec to PDF", "OCR this scanned PDF".
Active simplify pass for working code. Use when explicitly asked to "simplify this", "reduce complexity", "clean this up", "make this clearer", or when behavior-preserving readability/maintainability is the goal. Complements the project's passive simplicity-first rule by running a deliberate complexity-reduction loop. Not a spec, plan, or review workflow — does not change behavior.
Pre-spec intent extraction — one question at a time until ~95% confidence about what the user actually wants, BEFORE any openspec proposal exists. Use when an ask is underspecified (missing who/why/success/constraint), or on "interview me", "grill me", "stress-test my thinking". Upstream of openspec-explore; writes no specs. Interactive only — never in CI or autonomous loops.
In-flight adversarial check on a non-trivial decision BEFORE it stands — distinct from post-hoc review of a finished diff. Use on "stress-test this decision", "are we sure about this", "verify before commit", "poke holes in this", when working in unfamiliar code, or before an irreversible step (migration, prod deploy, public API). Runs earlier than code-review, while course-correction is cheap.
See runtime state a console.log cannot reach — set real breakpoints, step, and dump the scope chain of a paused Node/TypeScript process. Use on "set a breakpoint", "inspect runtime state", "console.log isn''t enough", "step through this", "what''s in this closure at runtime", "attach a debugger". Not a logging or observability-setup workflow.
