What it installs

Skills (12)

  • audit-agent-settings

    Use when auditing Claude Code or Codex settings and env vars against the latest docs to suggest tailored changes

  • best-practices

    Use when about to choose, configure, or refine a tool, library, config format, API pattern, or project setup, or before proposing a design or fix of your own — research current guidance, pitfalls, and prior art for the problem it solves first; already knowing an approach, or assuming no prior art ex

  • blindspot

    Use when the user asks for a blindspot pass or to find their unknown unknowns, or signals unfamiliarity with a domain, tool, or codebase area ("never used X", "first time doing Y", "no idea where to start", "don't know what I don't know") before working there. Maps the areas their request leaves unn

  • commit

    Use when making any git commit. Pass the failure, false claim, or risk the changes fix as the argument; for an addition or a filled gap, pass what it adds — never an invented why.

  • difference

    Compare A vs B, weigh pros and cons of A, B, C, ..., or explain the nuance between sentences — a quick answer from what the model already knows

  • fuck-over-engineering

    Use when the user asks what could be deleted or reduced to simplify a codebase, says "simplify", "over-engineered", or wants a repo-, folder-, or file-wide audit for over-engineering — hunts dead code, reinvented stdlib, needless dependencies, and single-implementation abstractions, reports ranked c

  • pr

    Use when the user explicitly asks to push the current branch and open a PR, rewrite an open PR's body from its commits, or wait for CI and merge it

  • refactor-agents-md

    Use when about to refactor or refine a user-level or project-level CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, from a full restructure down to a one-line wording fix; a change that looks too small to need this skill is not an exemption

  • refactor-memory

    Use when refactoring Claude Code or Codex memories to remove stale or derivable entries, resolve contradictions, promote standing instructions, or reorganize recall. Not for standalone CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or rules cleanup

  • refactor-skill

    Use when about to refactor or refine an existing skill, its SKILL.md or sibling files, from a full restructure down to a one-line wording fix; a change that looks too small to need this skill is not an exemption. Not for creating a skill from scratch

  • simple-english

    Use when the user explicitly asks for simple English, plain English, or for text a non-native English speaker can read easily — rewrites docs, READMEs, issues, comments, or UI text into plain words and translation-friendly grammar, still native-sounding. Prose the user signs in their own voice goes

  • write-like-me

    Use before producing any English text the user signs — READMEs, PRs, issues, PR and issue comments, code comments, emails, blog posts, human-facing docs — drafted or rewritten at native fluency in the voice of the skill's author, Vinta Chen. Fires mid-task too: a comment drafted inside another skill
