Agent Skills

Structured instruction sets that give AI agents specialized domain knowledge and workflows. Skills follow the Agent Skills open standard and are installable across all major agent tools using npx skills.

All skill files live at the root of the repository under skills/.

npx skills add CowboyLogic/ai-dev --skill <skill-name> -g

# Install for a specific agent only
npx skills add CowboyLogic/ai-dev --skill <skill-name> --agent <agent> -g

# Preview available skills without installing
npx skills add CowboyLogic/ai-dev -g -l

# List all installed skills
npx skills ls -g

Using gh copilot (Copilot CLI only)

Core Skills

About-Me Skill Creator

Create a private about-me skill containing durable personal context — background, tooling, constraints, and how much autonomy you want — for agents to load each session. The conversational wizard drafts the profile and writes it to a user-selected location, defaulting to ~/.claude/skills/about-me.

The generated about-me profile is personal and is not meant to be committed. It is used by the Lane Topology Conductor as step one of every session.

Handoff

Carry task state from one Claude Code session to the next. /handoff writes a short, curated file of what is half done and what comes next, and a SessionStart hook loads it into a fresh session instead of re-reading a long transcript.

Skill Router

Keep hundreds of skills installed without loading every description into every session. The skills live in a library directory that no harness scans, and the router searches it and returns the directory of the skill that fits the task. When it has none, it searches GitHub and offers what it finds. It also installs skills into the library after you approve their source, and updates and removes them.

Copilot Worker

Run GitHub Copilot as a worker from Claude Code. Research and review run read-only in the current checkout; implementation runs in a throwaway Git worktree. Each mode has its own default model, and every run leaves a result record for the parent agent to verify.
