Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/paulrberg/agent-skills --skill work- 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 work automatically when relevant.
- 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.
Work
Deliver the requested implementation with the smallest coordination structure that gets to a verified result.
Contract
- Treat
$ARGUMENTSand the conversation as the scope and success criteria. Ask only when a missing decision changes scope, safety, implementation, or verification. - Preserve unrelated work and repository conventions. Do not add features, cleanup, abstractions, or compatibility layers outside the request.
- Use subagents only when the environment supports them and at least two bounded tracks can proceed independently with distinct ownership and acceptance criteria. File count alone does not justify delegation.
- Keep integration decisions with the coordinating agent. Verify the combined result, not merely each track in isolation.
Workflow
- Inspect the relevant code, tests, repository instructions, and task-runner recipes. State material assumptions and define the narrowest evidence that will prove completion.
- Choose execution shape:
- Work directly when the task is sequential, tightly coupled, small enough to keep coherent, or likely to create overlapping edits.
- Delegate independent research, implementation, or test tracks when concurrency materially helps. Give each agent a disjoint scope, explicit deliverable, and acceptance criterion; do not delegate the final integration judgment.
- Implement the minimum in-scope change. Incorporate agent results only after reviewing their evidence and reconciling contracts, naming, and shared state.
- Run targeted formatting, tests, types, builds, or smoke checks that exercise the changed behavior. Broaden validation only for shared contracts or cross-package effects.
- Use
code-polishonly when the result would materially benefit from a separate simplification or risk-profiled review, or when the user requested it. Do not make polishing a completion ritual. - Report the outcome, files or behavior changed, exact validation results, and residual risks. Stop when the requested state is implemented and checkably verified.
Stop Conditions
Stop for a destructive or irreversible action, a material scope expansion, an unrequested public-contract break, or input only the user can provide. A failed delegated track is not itself a blocker: reclaim it or continue directly when safe.
Completion
Complete only when the requested behavior is integrated, the chosen success criteria pass, and the final report states the outcome, validation evidence, and residual risks.
FAQ
What does the work skill do?
Orchestrate end-to-end implementation: execute directly or delegate independent tracks, integrate, and verify the requested outcome.
How do I install work?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/paulrberg/agent-skills --skill work in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/work/ (personal) or .claude/skills/work/ (project).
Which AI agents can use work?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is work safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
Who maintains work?
It is published by paulrberg in paulrberg/agent-skills. It has 230 recorded installs.

Popular ai & agents skills
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).
skill-creator
anthropics/skills
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
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.
