VercelSkillvercel/next.js/skills/next-cache-components-adoption/SKILL.md
Turn on Cache Components in a Next.js app and resolve the blocking routes it surfaces. Use when the user wants to enable, adopt, or migrate to Cache Components, flip the `cacheComponents` flag, work through a flood of blocking-prerender / instant validation errors, run the `cache-components-instant-false` codemod, or decide between opting routes out with `export const instant = false` and fixing them in place.

VercelReads credentialsSkillvercel/next.js/skills/next-cache-components-optimizer/SKILL.md
Optimize the meaningful UI available immediately from a Next.js route on an initial load (hard navigation) or named client-side navigation (soft navigation). Encode the goal as a failing @next/playwright instant() e2e and work it to green, one verified route and entry point at a time; the shipped test then guards against regression. Use when asked to grow a static shell, fix a slow first paint or non-instant navigation, diagnose which Suspense boundary blocks useful UI, or add instant() regression coverage. Requires Next.js 16.3+ with Cache Components already adopted.

VercelSkillvercel/next.js/skills/next-dev-loop/SKILL.md
Verify Next.js runtime behavior after editing app code. Use this skill to confirm a change actually works in a running app — not just that it compiles or type-checks. Combines /_next/mcp (Next.js's view) with agent-browser (the browser's view). Requires a running `next dev`.

VercelSkillvercel/next.js/skills/next-partial-prefetching-adoption/SKILL.md
Turn on Partial Prefetching in a Next.js app and work through the insights it surfaces. Use when the user wants to enable or adopt Partial Prefetching, flip the `partialPrefetching` flag, opt routes in with `export const prefetch = 'partial'`, audit `Link prefetch={true}` behavior, preserve existing prefetched UI with `instant()` tests, or resolve the instant-link-prefetch-partial and instant-shell-url-data insights.

VercelSkillvercel/next.js/skills/next-partial-prefetching-optimizer/SKILL.md
Optimize what selected Next.js client navigations include before the click under Partial Prefetching. Use after Cache Components and Partial Prefetching are adopted when the user wants selected URL-specific UI to be instant, wants reusable content to wait for navigation, or needs to choose between default, viewport, and intent prefetching. Requires Next.js 16.3+.

MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/PowerToys/.github/skills/powertoys-verification/SKILL.md
Verify PowerToys behavior end-to-end with the winapp CLI across two scenarios: (A) a module's release checklist against the installed build; (B) PR validation — derive each PR's checklist from its description + diff, then drive it against the installed build (a merged/shipped PR, or a whole release/hotfix set) or by building + sideloading the module when the PR isn't in the build yet (unmerged or not-yet-released). Drive each item via UIA invoke / Named Events / settings.json edits / clipboard / GPO / SendInput, and emit a structured PASS / FAIL / BLOCKED verdict per item with evidence (FAIL distinguishes product defects from stale/ambiguous checklist items). Use when asked to verify a module checklist, validate a PR, sign off a release/hotfix's PRs, or QA installed/sideloaded PowerToys bits. Combines generic winapp ui mechanics (references/winapp-ui-testing.md) with PT-specific recipes, per-scenario playbooks (references/scenarios/), and the helper .ps1 files shipped with this skill.

MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/PowerToys/.github/skills/ui-tests-pipeline-ci/SKILL.md
Microsoft FTE-only completion workflow for PowerToys UI-test implementation: automatically continue after successful local VM suites, commit and push scoped changes, queue CI, wait synchronously, and stabilize through Azure CLI and Azure DevOps REST APIs. No separate push/run-CI request is needed for create, migrate, or stabilize tasks unless the user limited scope. Also use for explicit UITests CI, setup preflight, 401/403 diagnosis, build reuse, recordings/artifacts, and the three-run limit. Keywords: FTE, az, Azure CLI, Azure DevOps, pipeline, UI Test Automation, UITests CI, commit, push, local-to-CI handoff, buildNow, specificBuildId, uiTestModules, CI flake.

OpenAIReads credentialsSkillopenai/codex/codex-rs/skills/src/assets/samples/imagegen/SKILL.md
Generate or edit raster images when the task benefits from AI-created bitmap visuals such as photos, illustrations, textures, sprites, mockups, or transparent-background cutouts. Use when Codex should create a brand-new image, transform an existing image, or derive visual variants from references, and the output should be a bitmap asset rather than repo-native code or vector. Do not use when the task is better handled by editing existing SVG/vector/code-native assets, extending an established icon or logo system, or building the visual directly in HTML/CSS/canvas.

API first-timers, Codex/Work Q&A. If the user already has an OpenAI API integration, skip this skill for API questions and use the developer docs. Read this skill before answering how Codex or ChatGPT Work behaves, where to find a feature, or how to configure or troubleshoot this app or coding agent. This includes conversation history, model and cache behavior, instruction precedence, permissions, and tool availability. Use for API onboarding only when the user is connecting to the OpenAI API for the first time. Skip action requests, such as scheduling an automation, and tasks fully answered by supplied text or data.

A folder with a SKILL.md file: a name, a description of when to use it, and instructions. Claude loads a skill only when the task matches its description.
Copy the folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, or into your own skills folder to use it everywhere.
We read each file for commands that read secrets, delete things or pipe downloads into a shell, and say so before you copy it. No warning is not a promise that a file is safe.
Open a skill to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
