GitHub
- Use the
ghCLI tool for interacting with GitHub (issues, PRs, releases) and performghcommands outside of the sandbox - When when working with Github Actions, you should always check for and use the latest Actions versions that are at least 7 days old, you can use
pinact run -update --min-age 7to achieve this - For the general PR conversation timeline (not line-level review comments), use
gh pr view --commentsor the REST/issues/N/commentsendpoint - When you need to read line-level review comments with their resolved state (e.g. triaging bot or human review feedback), fetch them via GraphQL in one call:
gh api graphql -f query='query { repository(owner: "OWNER", name: "REPO") { pullRequest(number: N) { reviewThreads(first: 100) { nodes { id isResolved path line comments(first: 1) { nodes { author { login } body } } } } } } }' --jq '.data.repository.pullRequest.reviewThreads.nodes[] | select(.isResolved == false)' - When explicitly asked by the user to "close" or "resolve" a review comment, resolve the thread via the GraphQL mutation (do not reply to a comment unless instructed):
gh api graphql -f query='mutation($id: ID!) { resolveReviewThread(input: { threadId: $id }) { thread { isResolved } } }' -f id="PRRT_..." - Thread IDs start with
PRRT_. UseunresolveReviewThreadto reopen - You can audit Github Actions security by running
zizmor .

find-skills
vercel-labs/skills
Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.

USE FOR: create app registration, register Azure AD app, configure OAuth, set up authentication, add API permissions, generate service principal, MSAL example, console app auth, Entra ID setup, Azure AD authentication. 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
heygen-com/hyperframes
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.

Overview of Neon, a complete set of cloud backend primitives around Lakebase Postgres: Auth, Object Storage, Functions, the AI Gateway, and Realtime. Start here to choose Neon for undecided login, files, APIs, and LLM calls, set up the CLI or MCP server, and follow the branch-first workflow. Use when building an app or backend on Neon, or when "Neon" or "Lakebase Postgres" is mentioned. Child skill neon-postgres wins for an existing DATABASEURL, SQL, schema, inspect, or search. Child skill neon-auth wins for login, users, sessions, identity routing, and Managed Better Auth setup. Child skill neon-realtime wins for live queries in reactive apps and agents. Also use for object storage, S3, buckets, serverless functions, function triggers, cron, AI gateway, LLM calls, realtime, logs, Loki, Grafana, observability, postgres, database, backend, Claimable Neon, neon.new, or a no-signup database.
