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/.
Installing Skills¶
Using npx skills (recommended — works across all agents)¶
# Install a specific skill globally for all detected agents
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)¶
# Install a specific skill
gh copilot skill install CowboyLogic/ai-dev/skills/<skill-name>
# Browse all skills
gh copilot skill list CowboyLogic/ai-dev
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.

Google Style Docs¶
Write technical documentation following the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide. Covers voice and tone, sentence structure, code samples, cross-references, and all formatting conventions from Google's published standard.

Git Commit Messages¶
Write descriptive yet concise git commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification. Covers type selection, scope notation, subject line rules, and multi-paragraph body formatting.

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.

applyTo and excludeAgent frontmatter, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/GEMINI.md agent instructions,
precedence, and per-surface support.

AI Platform Skills¶
Claude Code Agent Creator¶
Create and troubleshoot custom subagents for Claude Code. Covers every frontmatter field with allowed values and version requirements, the conditions under which Claude Code silently skips a file or ignores a field, tool and permission behavior, hooks, MCP servers, memory, and worktree isolation. Includes a validator script and symptom-to-cause troubleshooting tables.

OpenCode Agent Creator¶
Create custom agent definitions for the OpenCode CLI, in native V2 format by default with V1 still supported. Covers the agent configuration schema, V1 → V2 migration, model and variant selection, ordered permission rules, and subagent patterns.

Codex Agent Creator¶
Create and troubleshoot custom subagents for OpenAI Codex, defined as standalone TOML files.
Covers the required fields, model and sandbox settings, the [agents] table in config.toml,
how delegation is triggered, and why parent runtime settings override an agent file. Includes a
validator script and symptom-to-cause troubleshooting tables.

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.

AI Client Configuration Skills¶
Claude Code Configuration Manager¶
Manage and maintain ~/.claude/settings.json and all Claude Code configuration files.
Covers permissions, hooks, MCP servers, environment variables, model settings,
sandbox configuration, and auto mode.

Note
When using a newer Claude model for configuring Claude Code, this skill has marginal value.
Codex Configuration Manager¶
Manage OpenAI Codex CLI configuration — config.toml and the project .codex/ layer,
sandbox and approval settings, permission profiles and rules, MCP servers, hooks, skills,
plugins, model providers, and AGENTS.md. Covers project trust, profiles, authentication,
and admin-enforced requirements.toml.

(V2) or tui.json (V1), providers, agents, MCP servers, permissions, plugins, keybinds,
