Skills is a collection of AI agent skills designed for efficient collaboration between developers and AI coding assistants. Each skill provides structured capabilities that AI agents can leverage to perform specific tasks.
Some skills require external tools to be installed:

| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| agents-md-generator | Automatically sets up project structure and generates standardized AGENTS.md files. Supports both single-repo and monorepo structures. |
| kysely-converter | Converts database queries and schemas using Kysely |
| jetbrains-plugin-development | IntelliJ Platform plugin development for JetBrains IDEs. Covers plugin.xml, services, actions, PSI/VFS/Document, EDT/BGT threading, Kotlin coroutines, custom languages (Grammar-Kit/JFlex), code insight, Kotlin UI DSL v2, IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin 2.x, Plugin Verifier, signing, and Marketplace publishing. |
| jetbrains-vmoptions | Generates JetBrains IDE VM options based on IDE version. Supports version-specific GC selection (Generational ZGC for 243+, G1GC for 222-242) and memory configuration. |
| system-prompt-creator | Analyzes user requirements to generate production-ready system prompts. It determines whether a single or multi-prompt architecture is needed and requests missing information if requirements are insufficient. |
| typst-creator | Generate Typst source code for documents, reports, papers, and presentations, covering markup, math, scripting, and layout syntax. |
| task-brief-creator | Generates structured work-brief Markdown at docs/briefs/ from planning notes or rough task descriptions. Eight required sections plus optional task-specific constraints are keyed to Conventional Commits types. Stage 4 runs as a branch-walking decision-tree interview by default — one question at a time with a recommended answer, codebase probes preferred over user questions, uniformly sequential regardless of tree size. Briefset mode supports coordinated multi-brief execution. Halts on vague input. Manual trigger only. |
| code-security-audit | Performs OWASP-based code security audits on any codebase. Analyzes source code against ASVS 5.0.0 verification requirements, API Security Top 10 2023 risk patterns, OWASP CheatSheet secure coding practices, and WSTG testing methodologies. |
| release-it | release-it configuration, setup, and plugin development. Analyzes project context (package.json, git remote, existing CI) to propose tailored release configs. Covers hooks, CLI workflows, pre-release, npm publishing, GitHub/GitLab releases, official plugins, and custom plugin development. |
These skills are currently under evaluation and will be promoted to Available Skills once verified.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| biz-opportunity-scout | Identify and validate profitable business opportunities by analyzing TAM/SAM/SOM, unit economics, competitive landscape, and PMF indicators with HTML report generation |
| code-review | Performs production-ready code reviews on git changes. Supports commit/range/file-scoped analysis, impact assessment, breaking-change detection, confidence-aware finding classification, and risk-weighted verdict generation. |
| doc-coauthoring | Guide users through a structured 3-stage workflow for co-authoring documentation through Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing. |
| react-vite-guide | React 19 + Vite SPA development guidelines. Composition patterns, performance optimization, and web interface best practices for client-side React applications. |
| veo-prompt-director | Generates structured Google Veo 3.1 video prompts by collecting user input for subject, action, style, cinematography, and audio. Guides users through the Universal Prompt Formula to produce camera-ready prompts. |
| task-brief-creator-caveman | Caveman-output variant of task-brief-creator. Same six-stage workflow, halt rules, briefset support, and validators — saved brief body is written in caveman full mode (~75% prose compression) for downstream coding-agent consumption while chat / interview / status surfaces stay in normal prose. ## Open Questions stays in normal prose so questions remain unambiguous for the human reviewer or downstream agent. |
| iterative-self-review | Iterative answer refinement loop. The main agent drafts a response and a sub-agent performs blind verification (only user input + current answer, no hints or history), reports back to the main agent only, and the loop terminates on a combination of positive (clean pass, severity floor), convergence (oscillation, stable findings, no-op, diminishing returns), defensive (regression), user-clarification, and hard-cap triggers. Evidence-mandatory findings, no numeric confidence scores. |
Personal-use skills not included in the public marketplace.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| linear-issue-creator | Creates structured Linear issues with a main issue + sub-issues, applying project linking, title prefix, and labeling rules. |
| linear-issue-worker | Executes code tasks from Linear sub-issues. Resolves dependency graphs, transitions statuses, performs code work, and posts completion comments. |
| linear-issue-reviewer | Reviews completed Linear sub-issues by cross-validating Done Criteria, worker completion comments, and actual code changes. Produces Approved / Changes Requested / Clarification Needed verdicts. |

Use skills by mentioning them in your prompts (e.g., "Use agents-md-generator to create an AGENTS.md file")
- Run Codex
- Enter the following command:
$skill-installer install https://github.com/buYoung/skills/tree/main/skills/{skill-name} # Example: $skill-installer install https://github.com/buYoung/skills/tree/main/skills/agents-md-generator - Restart Codex after installation completes
- The skill will be available for use
- Copy
agents-md-generatorfolder to~/.codex/skills/ - Run Codex
- Navigate to the folder where you want to add
AGENTS.md - Enter the following command and wait for completion:
$agents-md-generator
Add the desired skill to your AI Agent (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, etc.) and run it within your codebase. You can trigger skills by describing the task (e.g., "Create AGENTS.md for this project") or by calling the skill command directly.
⚠️ Note: This skill defaults to--all, meaning it will generateAGENTS.mdfor all sub-packages in a monorepo.
--root-only: Generate for the root only.--package <name>: Generate for a specific package only.--all: Generate for the root and all packages (Default).
- "Create AGENTS.md for this project"
- "Generate AGENTS.md --root-only"
- $agents-md-generator --package my-package
Claude Code has a built-in /skill-creator slash command that guides you through creating new skills. No additional installation is required.
/skill-creator
Claude will interactively collect the necessary information (purpose, scope, domain, triggers, input/output) and generate a complete skill package with SKILL.md, optional bundled resources, and README integration.
SKILL.md defines tools (capabilities) and skills usable by AI agents. It is compatible with Claude Skills and provides structured instructions for AI to perform specific tasks effectively.
- system-prompt-creator: The Data Format Selection Guide was developed referencing the analysis table from Improving Agents.
- task-brief-creator: The branch-walking decision-tree interview pattern incorporates the grill-me skill from mattpocock/skills.
- task-brief-creator-caveman: The caveman full-mode prose-compression rules (article/filler removal, fragment-friendly patterns, Auto-Clarity carve-outs) were adapted from the caveman skill by juliusbrussee.
