  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads warranty-tracker automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Warranty Tracker

Business Case

Problem Statement

Warranty management is often neglected:

  • Missing warranty documentation
  • Expired warranties untracked
  • Difficult to file claims
  • Scattered across multiple files

Solution

Centralized warranty tracking system that monitors expiration dates, stores documentation, and manages claims.

Business Value

  • Cost savings - File claims before expiration
  • Organization - Central warranty repository
  • Compliance - Meet handover requirements
  • Proactive - Automatic expiration alerts

Quick Start

from datetime import date

# Initialize tracker
tracker = WarrantyTracker(
    project_name="Office Tower",
    substantial_completion_date=date(2024, 6, 1)
)

# Add warranties
tracker.add_warranty(
    item_description="HVAC System - Rooftop Units",
    system=BuildingSystem.HVAC,
    warranty_type=WarrantyType.MANUFACTURER,
    manufacturer="Carrier",
    contractor="ABC Mechanical",
    duration_years=5,
    coverage_details="Parts and labor for manufacturing defects",
    contact_email="warranty@carrier.com"
)

# Check expiring warranties
expiring = tracker.get_expiring_warranties(90)
print(f"Warranties expiring in 90 days: {len(expiring)}")

Common Use Cases

1. Monthly Review

# Get expiration report
report = tracker.generate_expiration_report(months_ahead=3)
print(report[['Item', 'End Date', 'Days Remaining']])

2. File Claim

claim = tracker.file_claim(
    warranty_id="WRT-0001",
    issue_description="RTU-1 compressor failure",
    issue_date=date.today(),
    reported_by="Building Manager"
)

3. Export for Handover

tracker.export_to_excel("warranty_register.xlsx")

google-agents-cli-publish

google/agents-cli

This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).

codex-pet

prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills

Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
