skilly-cli
Manage this repo's agent skills with the skilly CLI — add or remove bundles/skills, pull hub updates. Use when the user wants skills or bundles added, removed, or updated. For a skills.sh URL use the skills CLI directly, not skilly. Not for repo bootstrap (that is skilly setup, run once).

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/timschoch/skilly --skill skilly-cli- 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 skilly-cli 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.
Skilly CLI
This repo's skills are managed by skilly, a hub at timschoch/skilly. Always use the CLI; never install skills by manual copies.
Exception — the user posts a skills.sh URL: that skill lives outside the hub. Hand-pin it with the skills CLI: npx -y skills add <url> --agent claude-code -y. It lands in skills-lock.json and survives the sync; skilly never touches hand-pins.
- Add a bundle or single skill:
npx -y github:timschoch/skilly add <name...>— bundle names and what they contain: catalog - Remove:
npx -y github:timschoch/skilly remove <name...>— removing a bundle keeps skills still claimed by another bundle - Pull the hub's current state:
npx -y github:timschoch/skilly update
Every verb ends with its own commit, push, and PR — do not commit or push for it. On main it branches to chore/skilly-setup by itself. On any other branch it stops before the commit when .agents/skills/verify/scripts/check-branch-name.mjs refuses the name: rename with git branch -m <type>/<description>, then run the verb again.
Never hand-edit skilly-owned files — the nightly sync wipes and rewrites them:
.claude/skills/and.agents/skills/(installed skills).claude/rules/<name>-*.md(installed router rules).skilly/config.json,skills-lock.json
A change to a skill belongs in its source repo (see skills-lock.json for the source), a repo-local rule in CLAUDE.md. A bug in an installed skill, hook, or rule: file it before you work around it, see .claude/rules/workflow-hazards.md.

How do I install skilly-cli?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/timschoch/skilly --skill skilly-cli 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/skilly-cli/ (personal) or .claude/skills/skilly-cli/ (project).
Which AI agents can use skilly-cli?
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 skilly-cli 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.

git-shortcuts
timschoch/skilly
Translates shorthand git/GitHub workflow commands into the correct sequence of actions. ALWAYS trigger when the user's message contains a "--" prefixed shorthand like: "--c", "--p", "--cp", "--pr", "--prm", "--cppr", "--cpprm", "--ff", "--release", "--pub", "--close" — with or without a trailing "?". The "--" prefix is required — do NOT trigger on bare letters like "c" or "pr" appearing in normal sentences. NEVER invoke this skill autonomously — it MUST always be user-invoked via an explicit "--" shorthand in their message.
cleanup-merged-branches
timschoch/skilly
Delete remote branches whose PR was merged. Read-only dry-run, then confirm, then delete.
step-by-step
timschoch/skilly
Walk the user through a manual procedure step by step, with every value spelled out and every link clickable.
plan-critics
timschoch/skilly
Critiques an implementation plan — or a wayfinder map/ticket — from multiple angles (security, simplicity, edge cases, scope creep, codebase conflicts, tech-specific best practices) via parallel critic subagents. Trigger: user says "kritisiere den plan", "plan check", "plan-kritik", "blinde flecken", "/plan-critics" — also invoke when a planning agent wants to validate its own plan before presenting it, or a wayfinder session wants a resolution checked before closing a ticket. Must be called at top-level (not inside a subagent) — it uses the Task tool.
qa
timschoch/skilly
Interactive QA session where user reports bugs or issues conversationally, and the agent files GitHub issues. Explores the codebase in the background for context and domain language. Use when user wants to report bugs, do QA, file issues conversationally, or mentions "QA session".
1-3-1
timschoch/skilly
Frame a problem or decision as 1-3-1: one problem, three distinct solutions, one recommendation. Use when the user brings a non-trivial decision or fork and wants options weighed before a pick ("what should I do about X", "help me decide", "weigh the tradeoffs"), or names "1-3-1" or "do a 131". Skip questions with one right answer, just answer those.
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.
