npx skills add https://github.com/onmax/nuxt-skills --skill nitro- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads nitro automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The skill is based on Nitro v3 (beta, 3.0.260903), generated at 2026-09-25.
Nitro is a framework-agnostic, deployment-agnostic server toolkit powered by H3 v2, unstorage, and Vite/Rolldown/Rollup. It powers Nuxt and works standalone. From one codebase it builds optimized output for Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, and more.
Key capabilities:
- Filesystem routing with H3 v2 event handlers, dynamic params, and method suffixes.
- Route rules for declarative caching, headers, redirects, proxying, and CORS.
- Caching layer (cached handlers/functions, SWR) on top of the unstorage KV layer.
- Runtime config overridable via
NITRO_*env vars. - Tasks (on-demand + scheduled/cron), WebSockets/SSE, a SQL database layer, and OpenAPI auto-docs.
- Plugins & lifecycle hooks, custom renderer/server entry, and portable deployment presets.
Key v3 changes (vs.
nitropackv2): the package is renamednitropack→nitrowith H3 v2 (web-standardRequest/Response); auto-imports are removed (import everything explicitly); directory scanning is opt-in viaserverDir;useStorage→useKV(nitro/kv) and thestorageconfig option →kv; cacheswrnow defaults tofalse. If unsure about v2-vs-v3 APIs, read advanced-migration first.

DO NOT USE FOR: Key Vault secrets (use azure-keyvault-expiration-audit), general Azure resource security guidance.
google-agents-cli-adk-code
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
embedded-captions

Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
