Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/dkyazzentwatwa/chatgpt-skills --skill mcp-builder
  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 mcp-builder automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

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

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

MCP Builder

Build MCP servers around user workflows, not raw API endpoints.

Workflow

  1. Read the target API docs and identify the workflows an agent must complete end to end.
  2. Design a small tool surface with high-signal outputs, clear identifiers, and actionable errors.
  3. Implement shared infrastructure first: auth, request helpers, pagination, truncation, and formatting.
  4. Add tool schemas and docstrings that make correct usage obvious.
  5. Evaluate the server with realistic tasks before expanding scope.

Principles

  • Prefer workflow tools over thin endpoint wrappers.
  • Return concise, high-signal responses by default.
  • Use human-readable identifiers whenever possible.
  • Make error messages corrective: tell the agent what to try next.
  • Design for limited context and large datasets.

Resources

  • references/mcp_best_practices.md for design principles that apply to every server.
  • references/python_mcp_server.md for Python implementation patterns.
  • references/node_mcp_server.md for TypeScript implementation patterns.
  • scripts/connections.py and scripts/evaluation.py as repo-local helpers.

Deliverables

  • A concrete tool inventory tied to user workflows.
  • Strict input/output schemas.
  • Evaluation prompts or scripts that confirm the server is usable by an agent.

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).

google-agents-cli-eval

google/agents-cli

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.
