Agent skills
Skills you can use with AI coding agents, indexed from public GitHub repositories.
-
next
Surface the most valuable next action by combining task stack, queue state, inbox pressure, health, and goals. Recommends one specific action with rationale. Triggers on "/next", "what should I do", "what's next".

-
tasks
View and manage the task stack and processing queue. Shows pending work, active tasks, completed items, and queue state. Triggers on "/tasks", "show tasks", "what's pending", "task list", "queue status".

-
reflect
Find connections between notes and update MOCs. Requires semantic judgment to identify genuine relationships. Use after /reduce creates notes, when exploring connections, or when a topic needs synthesis. Triggers on "/reflect", "/reflect [note]", "find connections", "update MOCs", "connect these notes".

-
refactor
Plan vault restructuring from config changes. Compares config.yaml against derivation.md, identifies dimension shifts, shows restructuring plan, executes on approval. Triggers on "/refactor", "restructure vault".

-
remember
Capture friction as methodology notes. Three modes — explicit description, contextual (review recent corrections), session mining (scan transcripts for patterns). Triggers on "/remember", "/remember [description]".
agenticnotetaking/arscontexta 3,124
-
validate
Schema validation for notes. Checks against domain-specific templates. Validates required fields, enum values, description quality, and link health. Non-blocking — warns but doesn't prevent capture. Triggers on "/validate", "/validate [note]", "check schema", "validate note", "validate all".
agenticnotetaking/arscontexta 3,124
-
ask
Query the bundled research knowledge graph for methodology guidance. Routes questions through a 3-tier knowledge base — WHY (research claims), HOW (guidance docs), WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE (domain examples) — plus structured reference documents. Returns research-backed answers grounded in specific claims with practical application to the user's system. Triggers on "/ask", "/ask [question]", "why does my system...", "how should I...".

-
add-domain
Add a new knowledge domain to your existing system. Derives domain-specific configuration through conversation, generates domain folders, templates, and vocabulary while preserving and connecting to your existing architecture.
agenticnotetaking/arscontexta 3,124
-
help
Contextual guidance and command discovery. Three modes — narrative (first-time), contextual (mid-task), compact (quick reference). Shows available commands, active skills, and intelligent suggestions based on vault state. Triggers on "/help", "what can I do", "show commands", "how does this work".
agenticnotetaking/arscontexta 3,124
-
recommend
Get research-backed architecture advice for your knowledge system. Describe your use case, constraints, and goals — get specific recommendations grounded in TFT research with rationale for each decision. Triggers on "/recommend", "what would you recommend", "architecture advice", "knowledge system for".

-
tutorial
Interactive walkthrough for new users. Learn by doing — each step creates real content in your vault. Three tracks (researcher, manager, personal) with a universal learning arc. Triggers on "/tutorial", "walk me through", "how do I use this".
agenticnotetaking/arscontexta 3,124
-
setup
Scaffold a complete knowledge system. Detects platform, conducts conversation, derives configuration, generates everything. Validates against 15 kernel primitives. Triggers on "/setup", "/setup --advanced", "set up my knowledge system", "create my vault".
agenticnotetaking/arscontexta 3,124
-
architect
Research-backed evolution advice for your knowledge system. Analyzes health reports, friction patterns, and derivation history to propose specific changes with research justification. Never auto-implements — proposals require your approval.
agenticnotetaking/arscontexta 3,124
-
upgrade
Apply plugin knowledge base updates to an existing generated system. Consults the Ars Contexta research graph for methodology improvements, proposes skill upgrades with research justification. Never auto-implements. Triggers on "/upgrade", "upgrade skills", "check for improvements", "update methodology".
agenticnotetaking/arscontexta 3,124
-
health
Run condition-based vault health diagnostics. 8 categories — schema compliance, orphan detection, link health, description quality, three-space boundaries, processing throughput, stale notes, MOC coherence. 3 modes — quick (schema+orphans+links), full (all 8), three-space (boundary violations only). Returns actionable FAIL/WARN/PASS report with specific fixes ranked by impact. Triggers on "/health", "check vault health", "maintenance report", "what needs fixing".
agenticnotetaking/arscontexta 3,124
-
reseed
Re-derive your knowledge system from first principles when structural drift accumulates. Analyzes dimension incoherence, vocabulary mismatch, boundary dissolution, and template divergence. Preserves all content while restructuring architecture.

-
bug-detective
This skill should be used when the user asks to "debug this", "fix this error", "investigate this bug", "troubleshoot this issue", "find the problem", "something is broken", "this isn't working", "why is this failing", or reports errors/exceptions/bugs. Provides systematic debugging workflow and common error patterns.

-
doc-coauthoring
This skill should be used when the user asks to co-author documentation, draft a proposal, write a technical spec, create a decision doc or RFC, or structure a substantial document through iterative collaboration and reader testing.

-
daily-paper-generator
Use when the user asks to "generate daily paper", "search arXiv for EEG papers", "find EEG decoding papers", "review brain-computer interface papers", or wants to create paper summaries for EEG/brain decoding/speech decoding research. This skill automates searching arXiv for recent papers on EEG decoding, EEG speech decoding, or brain foundation models, reviewing paper quality, and generating structured Chinese/English summaries.

-
paper-self-review
This skill should be used when the user asks to "review paper quality", "check paper completeness", "validate paper structure", "self-review before submission", or mentions systematic paper quality checking. Provides comprehensive quality assurance checklist for academic papers.

obsidian-cli
Interact with Obsidian vaults using the Obsidian CLI to read, create, search, and manage notes, tasks, properties, and more. Also supports plugin and theme development with commands to reload plugins, run JavaScript, capture errors, take screenshots, and inspect the DOM. Use when the user asks to interact with their Obsidian vault, manage notes, search vault content, perform vault operations from the command line, or develop and debug Obsidian plugins and themes.

hook-development
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.
