    instantly-campaign

    Create a new Instantly cold-email campaign in the proven 5-email structure of the user's top-performing campaign (~16% reply rate). Use when the user wants to launch a new outbound campaign, write a cold email sequence, create an Instantly campaign, draft outreach for a new service or niche, or set up a sales sequence.

    albert-dm

    Reply to DMs and messages the way Albert would. Use when the user asks "how would Albert reply to this", pastes a conversation and wants an Albert-style response, or asks you to draft/write a DM in Albert's voice. Albert sells AI voice agents / automations to local service businesses (Go High Level, lead follow-up, bookings).

    file-reading

    Use this skill when a file has been uploaded but its content is NOT in your context — only its path at /mnt/user-data/uploads/ is listed in an uploaded_files block. This skill is a router: it tells you which tool to use for each file type (pdf, docx, xlsx, csv, json, images, archives, ebooks) so you read the right amount the right way instead of blindly running cat on a binary. Triggers: any mention of /mnt/user-data/uploads/, an uploaded_files section, a file_path tag, or a user asking about an uploaded file you have not yet read. Do NOT use this skill if the file content is already visible in your context inside a documents block — you already have it.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 181 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Ensure WCAG 2.1 AA (contrast ≥4.5:1, keyboard operable, alt text).

    line 28

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 181 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Frontend Design

Production-grade frontend generation and audit. Composite of anthropics/skills/frontend-design (818k installs) + vercel-labs/web-interface-guidelines (576k).

When to use

  • Building or modifying any user-facing UI (React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Astro)
  • Auditing an existing UI for Vercel Interface Guidelines violations
  • Generating interfaces that must avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics
  • Reviewing design tokens, layout, or component architecture

Workflow

1. Understand intent (ask one question at a time if underspecified)

  • What is the UI for? Who is the user? What is the success criterion (e.g., "feels premium, not template")?

2. Generate / audit

Generation path:

  • Pick a distinctive visual direction (reference brand-guidelines if present) — do not default to centered card + purple gradient.
  • Structure with semantic layout: header, hero, feature grid, proof, CTA. Use design tokens (spacing scale, type scale, color tokens).
  • Build with React + Tailwind + shadcn/ui. Keep components small and focused.
  • Ensure WCAG 2.1 AA (contrast ≥4.5:1, keyboard operable, alt text).

Audit path (Vercel guidelines):

  • Fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills/main/skills/web-design-guidelines/SKILL.md if needed and compare.
  • Output violations table: | Guideline | Severity | Location | Fix |

3. Verify

  • Visual: does the UI avoid the 3 generic patterns (centered hero + 3 cards, purple gradient, blob illustration)?
  • Accessibility: axe or manual keyboard tab + contrast check.
  • Tokens: spacing uses 4/8 scale, type uses capped scale, colors are semantic (not hex litter).

Verification

  • UI renders without generic AI aesthetics (distinctive direction chosen)
  • WCAG AA contrast and keyboard checks pass
  • Spacing/type/color use design tokens, not hardcoded values
  • Audit (if run) lists violations with severity and fix

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

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.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
