Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/moizibnyousaf/ai-agent-skills --skill curate-a-team-library
  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 curate-a-team-library 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.

Curate A Team Library

Goal

Build a managed skills library that another teammate or agent can actually browse, trust, and install.

Do not hand-edit skills.json, README.md, or WORK_AREAS.md when the CLI already has the mutation you need.

First Move

Start with a managed workspace.

npx ai-agent-skills init-library <name>
cd <name>

Ask at most 3 short questions before acting:

  • what kinds of work the library needs to support
  • whether the first pass should stay small and opinionated or aim broader
  • whether the output should stay local or end as a shareable GitHub repo

Shelf System

Use these 5 work areas as the shelf system:

  • frontend: web UI, browser work, design systems, visual polish
  • backend: APIs, data, security, infrastructure, runtime systems
  • mobile: iOS, Android, React Native, Expo, device testing, app delivery
  • workflow: docs, testing, release work, files, research, planning
  • agent-engineering: prompts, evals, tools, orchestration, agent runtime design

Map the user's stack to shelves before adding anything.

  • Example: React Native + Node backend maps to mobile + backend.
  • Add workflow only when testing, release, docs, or research are real parts of the job.
  • Add agent-engineering only when the team is doing AI features, prompts, evals, or tooling.
  • Make sure the first pass covers every primary shelf the user explicitly named.

Discovery Loop

Browse before curating.

npx ai-agent-skills list --area <work-area>
npx ai-agent-skills search <query>
npx ai-agent-skills collections

If the user named multiple primary shelves, inspect each one before choosing skills.

Mutation Rules

Keep the first pass small: around 3 to 8 skills.

  • Use add first for bundled picks and simple GitHub imports.
  • Use catalog when you want an upstream entry without copying files into skills/.
  • Use vendor only for true house copies the team wants to edit or own locally.

Every mutation must include explicit curator metadata like --area, --branch, and --why.

Good branch names:

  • React Native / UI
  • React Native / QA
  • Node / APIs
  • Node / Data
  • Docs / Release

Bad branch names:

  • stuff
  • misc
  • notes

Writing Good whyHere

whyHere is curator judgment, not filler.

  • Mention the stack or workflow it supports.
  • Mention the gap it fills in this library.
  • Be honest about why it belongs here.

Good:

Covers React Native testing so the mobile shelf has a real device-validation option.

Bad:

I want this on my shelf.

Featured Picks

Use --featured sparingly.

  • keep it to about 2 to 3 featured skills per shelf
  • reserve it for skills you would tell a new teammate to install first

Collections

After the library has about 5 to 8 solid picks, create a starter-pack collection.

  • Use --collection starter-pack while adding new skills.
  • Or use npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill> --collection starter-pack for existing entries.
  • Keep the collection small and onboarding-friendly.

Sanity Check

Before finishing:

npx ai-agent-skills list --area <work-area>
npx ai-agent-skills collections
npx ai-agent-skills build-docs
  • Run list --area for each primary shelf you touched.
  • If you created starter-pack, confirm the install command looks right.
  • Make sure the final shelf mix still matches the user's actual stack.

Finish

Return:

  • what you added
  • which shelves you used and why
  • which skills are featured
  • what starter-pack contains, if you created one
  • whether the library is local-only or ready to share

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.
