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.
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/afk/SKILL.md
Enter away-mode supervision. Use when the user invokes /afk (e.g. "/afk", "/afk back in an hour", "going afk"). Sets a durable away-mode flag so the sub-supervisor daemon can self-handle routine wakes and escalate only captain-relevant events as one batched digest, cutting supervision token cost during walk-away stretches. Exit is automatic; any real (unmarked) message returns to full per-wake responsiveness.
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/axi/SKILL.md
Agent eXperience Interface (AXI) — ergonomic standards for building CLI tools that agents use via shell execution. Use when building, modifying, or reviewing any agent-facing CLI.
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/drawio-skill/SKILL.md
Use when the user requests diagrams, flowcharts, architecture diagrams, ER diagrams, UML / sequence / class diagrams, network topology, ML/DL model figures (Transformer/CNN/LSTM), mind maps, or any visualization. Also use proactively when explaining systems with 3+ components, complex data flows, or relationships that benefit from visual representation. Best suited when the diagram needs custom styling, rich shape vocabulary, swimlanes, or exportable images (PNG/SVG/PDF/JPG). Generates .drawio XML and exports locally via the native draw.io desktop CLI.
karanmrnReads credentialsSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/fmx-respond/SKILL.md
Agent-only playbook for handling an X mention in X mode. Use on an "x-mention <request_id>" check: wake - read the stashed mention (with any in_reply_to conversation context); the direct author is the firstmate's own owner (captain) under owner-only routing, so classify it as an actionable request to act on through the normal lifecycle, a question to answer from live fleet state, or a pure acknowledgment to dismiss without replying; act autonomously (escalating only destructive/irreversible/security-sensitive work). For a request that spawns real work, acknowledge first, act, link the task with bin/fm-x-link.sh, and let the completion follow-up post on the done wake; for a question or completed action, post or preview a short public-safe reply with bin/fm-x-reply.sh; for a pure acknowledgment, call bin/fm-x-dismiss.sh. Clear the inbox file only after a successful reply or dismiss. Loaded only when X mode is enabled.
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/gnhf/SKILL.md
Use when the user asks to run GNHF, says they are going to sleep or leaving and wants an agent-managed coding run, asks to supervise, steer, or review an active GNHF run, or gives feedback on GNHF results.
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/harness-adapters/SKILL.md
Agent-only reference for firstmate harness operations. Use before spawning or recovering a crewmate or secondmate, handling a trust dialog, sending a harness-specific skill invocation, interrupting or exiting an agent, resuming an exited agent, or verifying a new harness adapter. Contains verified facts for claude, codex, opencode, and pi.
karanmrnReads credentialsSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/improve/SKILL.md
Survey any codebase as a senior advisor and produce prioritized, self-contained implementation plans for OTHER models/agents to execute. Strictly read-only on source code — never implements, fixes, or refactors anything itself. Use when asked to audit a codebase, find improvement opportunities (bugs, security, performance, test coverage, tech debt, migrations, DX), suggest features or where to take the project next (roadmap, product direction), or generate handoff plans for another agent to implement.

karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/lavish/SKILL.md
Turn complex or visual agent responses into rich, reviewable HTML artifacts the user can annotate and send feedback on, using the lavish-axi CLI. Use when about to give a plan, comparison, diagram, table, code diff, report, or anything easier to grasp visually than as prose.

karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/no-mistakes-axi/SKILL.md
Validate your code changes through the no-mistakes pipeline - automated code review, tests, lint, docs, push, PR, and CI - before they reach upstream. Use when the user asks to run no-mistakes, gate or ship or validate their changes, push safely, asks you to do a task and then validate it, or invokes /no-mistakes.
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/no-mistakes/SKILL.md
Validate your code changes through the no-mistakes pipeline - automated code review, tests, lint, docs, push, PR, and CI - before they reach the configured push target. Use when the user asks to run no-mistakes, gate or ship or validate their changes, push safely, asks you to do a task and then validate it, or invokes /no-mistakes.
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/ponytail-audit/SKILL.md
Whole-repo audit for over-engineering. Like ponytail-review, but scans the entire codebase instead of a diff: a ranked list of what to delete, simplify, or replace with stdlib/native equivalents. Use when the user says "audit this codebase", "audit for over-engineering", "what can I delete from this repo", "find bloat", "ponytail-audit", or "/ponytail-audit". One-shot report, does not apply fixes.

karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/ponytail-debt/SKILL.md
Harvest every `ponytail:` comment in the codebase into a debt ledger, so the deliberate shortcuts and deferrals ponytail leaves behind get tracked instead of rotting into "later means never". Use when the user says "ponytail debt", "/ponytail-debt", "what did ponytail defer", "list the shortcuts", "ponytail ledger", or "what did we mark to do later". One-shot report, changes nothing.

karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/ponytail-gain/SKILL.md
Show ponytail's measured impact as a compact scoreboard: less code, less cost, more speed, from the benchmark medians. One-shot display, not a persistent mode, and not a per-repo number. Trigger: /ponytail-gain, "ponytail gain", "what does ponytail save", "show ponytail impact", "ponytail scoreboard".

karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/ponytail-help/SKILL.md
Quick-reference card for all ponytail modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display, not a persistent mode. Trigger: /ponytail-help, "ponytail help", "what ponytail commands", "how do I use ponytail".
Often used withcaveman-commit
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/ponytail-review/SKILL.md
Code review focused exclusively on over-engineering. Finds what to delete: reinvented standard library, unneeded dependencies, speculative abstractions, dead flexibility. One line per finding: location, what to cut, what replaces it. Use when the user says "review for over-engineering", "what can we delete", "is this over-engineered", "simplify review", or invokes /ponytail-review. Complements correctness-focused review, this one only hunts complexity.

karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/ponytail/SKILL.md
Forces the laziest solution that actually works, simplest, shortest, most minimal. Channels a senior dev who has seen everything: question whether the task needs to exist at all (YAGNI), reach for the standard library before custom code, native platform features before dependencies, one line before fifty. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Use on ANY coding task: writing, adding, refactoring, fixing, reviewing, or designing code, and choosing libraries or dependencies. Also use whenever the user says "ponytail", "be lazy", "lazy mode", "simplest solution", "minimal solution", "yagni", "do less", or "shortest path", or complains about over-engineering, bloat, boilerplate, or unnecessary dependencies. Do NOT use for non-coding requests (general knowledge, prose, translation, summaries, recipes).
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/secondmate-provisioning/SKILL.md
Agent-only reference for persistent secondmate setup and retirement. Use when creating, seeding, validating, recovering, handing backlog to, or retiring a secondmate home, or when editing data/secondmates.md. Covers home leases, transactional seeding, project clone restrictions, idle charter, handoff helper, and teardown safety.
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/stuck-crewmate-recovery/SKILL.md
Agent-only playbook for stuck firstmate direct reports. Use after a stale wake, looping pane, repeated confusion, an answered-by-brief question, an unresponsive crewmate, or a failed steer. Escalates from peek, to one-line steer, to harness-specific interrupt, to relaunch with progress, to failed status.
karanmrnSkillkaranmrn/claude-skills/skills/understand-chat/SKILL.md
Use when you need to ask questions about a codebase or understand code using a knowledge graph
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.
