Skills real projects publish on GitHub, most starred first. Each one says what it will make an agent do before you copy it.
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/waza/.github/skills/coordinator-init-mode/SKILL.md
The complete two-phase Init Mode protocol the Squad coordinator runs when no team exists yet in the current repo. Phase 1 = propose the team (no files created, wait for user confirm). Phase 2 = create .squad/ scaffolding, casting state, .gitattributes for merge drivers, and the always-on built-ins (Scribe, Ralph, Rai, Fact Checker). Loaded on demand when the coordinator detects no .squad/team.md exists.

MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/waza/.github/skills/coordinator-response-mode/SKILL.md
Selecting WHO handles work is the Routing table; selecting HOW they handle it (Direct, Lightweight, Standard, Full) is Response Mode. This skill contains the complete decision table, exemplar prompts for each mode, the Lightweight spawn template, and the upgrade rules. Squad coordinator loads this on demand once routing has identified the agent — to pick the right ceremony level for the task.

MicrosoftSkillmicrosoft/waza/.github/skills/coordinator-source-of-truth/SKILL.md
The complete file-by-file source-of-truth hierarchy for Squad: which files are authoritative, which are derived/append-only, who may write each one, who may read each one, and the precedence rules when they conflict. Squad coordinator loads this on demand when it needs to resolve a write conflict, decide where a piece of state belongs, or answer a 'who owns this file' question.

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.
