  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 github-issue-creator automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

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

GitHub Issue Creator

This skill guides the creation of high-quality GitHub issues that adhere to the repository's standards and use the appropriate templates.

Workflow

Follow these steps to create a GitHub issue:

  1. Identify Issue Type: Determine if the request is a bug report, feature request, or other category.

  2. Locate Template: Search for issue templates in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.

    • bug_report.yml
    • feature_request.yml
    • website_issue.yml
    • If no relevant YAML template is found, look for .md templates in the same directory.

  3. Read Template: Read the content of the identified template file to understand the required fields.

  4. Draft Content: Draft the issue title and body/fields.

    • If using a YAML template (form), prepare values for each id defined in the template.
    • If using a Markdown template, follow its structure exactly.
    • Default Label: Always include the 🔒 maintainer only label unless the user explicitly requests otherwise.

  5. Create Issue: Use the gh CLI to create the issue.

    • CRITICAL: To avoid shell escaping and formatting issues with multi-line Markdown or complex text, ALWAYS write the description/body to a temporary file first.

    For Markdown Templates or Simple Body:

    # 1. Write the drafted content to a temporary file
# 2. Create the issue using the --body-file flag
gh issue create --title "Succinct title" --body-file <temp_file_path> --label "🔒 maintainer only"
# 3. Remove the temporary file
rm <temp_file_path>

    For YAML Templates (Forms): While gh issue create supports --body-file, YAML forms usually expect key-value pairs via flags if you want to bypass the interactive prompt. However, the most reliable non-interactive way to ensure formatting is preserved for long text fields is to use the --body or --body-file if the form has been converted to a standard body, OR to use the --field flags for YAML forms.

    Note: For the gemini-cli repository which uses YAML forms, you can often submit the content as a single body if a specific field-based submission is not required by the automation.

  6. Verify: Confirm the issue was created successfully and provide the link to the user.

Principles

  • Clarity: Titles should be descriptive and follow project conventions.
  • Defensive Formatting: Always use temporary files with --body-file to prevent newline and special character issues.
  • Maintainer Priority: Default to internal/maintainer labels to keep the backlog organized.
  • Completeness: Provide all requested information (e.g., version info, reproduction steps).

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).

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.
