Agent skills
Skills you can use with AI coding agents, indexed from public GitHub repositories.
-
orchestrating-skills
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.

llm-as-computer
Execute programs on a compiled transformer stack machine where every instruction fetch and memory read is a parabolic attention head. Demonstrates that transformer attention + FF layers can implement a working computer. Use when user mentions "llm-as-computer", "lac", "stack machine", "compiled transformer", "percepta", "parabolic attention", "execute program", or asks to run/trace programs on the transformer executor.

generating-patches

-
charting
Select the right Python charting library (seaborn, matplotlib, graphviz) and produce publication-quality static visualizations. Use when creating charts, plots, graphs, diagrams, heatmaps, visualizations from data, or when choosing between matplotlib/seaborn/graphviz. Also triggers for network diagrams, flowcharts, dependency trees, state machines, and entity-relationship diagrams. For interactive browser-rendered charts or uploaded data exploration, defer to charting-vega-lite instead.

sampling-bluesky-zeitgeist
DEPRECATED - Use browsing-bluesky skill instead. Sample and analyze Bluesky firehose to identify trending topics and content clusters. Use when user asks about "what's happening on Bluesky", "Bluesky trends", "zeitgeist", "firehose analysis", or wants to see real-time topic clusters from the network.

-
seeing-images
Augmented vision tools for analyzing images beyond native visual capabilities. Use when tasked with describing images in detail, reproducing images as SVGs, identifying subtle features, comparing image regions, reading degraded text, or any task requiring careful visual inspection. Also use when the image-to-svg skill needs ground truth about colors, shapes, or boundaries.

-
crafting-instructions
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.

-
making-waffles
Generates WAFFLES Declarations for social media posts — preemptive lists of what a post does NOT say. Use when users mention WAFFLES, ask for clarifications on their post, want to prevent misinterpretation, or request disclaimers for controversial/nuanced takes.

-
api-credentials
Securely manages API credentials for multiple providers (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, GitHub). Use when skills need to access stored API keys for external service invocations.

-
fetching-blocked-urls
Retrieve clean markdown from URLs when web_fetch fails. Converts pages via Jina AI reader service with automatic retry. Use when web_fetch or curl returns 403, blocked, paywall, timeout, JavaScript-rendering errors, or empty content or user explicitly suggests using jina.

-
building-github-index
Generate progressive disclosure indexes for GitHub repositories to use as Claude project knowledge. Use when setting up projects referencing external documentation, creating searchable indexes of technical blogs or knowledge bases, combining multiple repos into one index, or when user mentions "index", "github repo", "project knowledge", or "documentation reference".

-
tiling-tree
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.

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

-
controlling-spotify
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.

-
generating-lattice
Generate and maintain lat.md/ knowledge graphs with bidirectional source code anchoring. Docs link to code via [[src/file#symbol]] wiki links; code links back to docs via @lat: comments. lat check validates both directions, catching drift when either side changes. Use when user says "lat.md", "lattice", "knowledge graph", "document this codebase", "add back-links", or wants cross-referenced architecture docs anchored to source code symbols.

updating-knowledge
Systematic research methodology for building comprehensive, current knowledge on any topic. Requires web_search tool. Use when questions require thorough investigation, recent developments post-cutoff, synthesis across multiple sources, or when Claude's knowledge may be outdated or incomplete. Triggered by "Research", "Investigate", "What's current on", "Latest info on", complex queries needing validation, or technical topics with recent changes.
