Skills Overview

🎯 Core Agent Skills

Skills for managing and extending AI agents themselves.

Skill	Description
create-skill	Guides users through creating effective Agent Skills. Use when you want to create, write, or author a new skill, or asks about skill structure, best practices, or SKILL.md format.
create-subagent	Create custom subagents for specialized AI tasks. Use when you want to create a new type of subagent, set up task-specific agents, configure code reviewers, debuggers, or domain-specific assistants with custom prompts.
create-rule	Create agent rules for persistent AI guidance. Use when you want to create a rule, add coding standards, set up project conventions, configure file-specific patterns, create RULE.md files, or asks about .cursor/rules/ or AGENTS.md.
create-hook	Create agent hooks. Use when you want to create a hook, write hooks.json, add hook scripts, or automate behavior around agent events.
migrate-to-skills	Convert 'Applied intelligently' Cursor rules (.cursor/rules/.mdc) and slash commands (.cursor/commands/.md) to Agent Skills format (.cursor/skills/). Use when you want to migrate rules or commands to skills.
codex-continue-iterating	CRITICAL: Monitor and continue executing Codex rollout recommended next steps. Activates when Codex ends with recommendations like "Next steps:", "If you want, I can keep driving...", or "What is still in flight:" - ensures those recommendations are actually executed rather than letting the thread end with unactioned suggestions.

🖥️ UI & Visualization

Skills for building rich user interfaces and visual outputs.

Skill	Description
canvas	A Canvas is a live React app rendered beside the chat. You MUST use a canvas when the agent produces a standalone analytical artifact — quantitative analyses, billing investigations, security audits, architecture reviews, data-heavy content, timelines, charts, tables, interactive explorations, repeatable tools, or any response that benefits from visual layout.
screenshot	Use when the user explicitly asks for a desktop or system screenshot (full screen, specific app or window, or a pixel region), or when tool-specific capture capabilities are unavailable and an OS-level capture is needed.
statusline	Configure a custom status line in the CLI. Use when the user mentions status line, statusline, statusLine, CLI status bar, prompt footer customization, or wants to add session context above the prompt.
storybook-visual-review	Review Storybook stories visually, compare states, and capture screenshots for design iteration. Use when the task involves opening a Storybook instance, navigating to one or more stories, inspecting layout and tool-call rendering, or capturing screenshots through browser MCP tools or a Storybook MCP if one is available.

🧪 Testing & Browser Automation

Skills for automated testing and browser interaction.

Skill	Description
playwright	Use when the task requires automating a real browser from the terminal (navigation, form filling, snapshots, screenshots, data extraction, UI-flow debugging) via playwright-cli or the bundled wrapper script.
playwright-interactive	Persistent browser and Electron interaction through js_repl for fast iterative UI debugging.

🚀 Deployment & Operations

Skills for deploying and managing production systems.

Skill	Description
kamal-deployment	Help with Kamal deployment workflows for setup, deploy, rollback, production log diagnostics, and Docker registry configuration for local or cross-host image publishing.
vex-desktop-harness	Launch, build, diagnose, and stop the Vex desktop surfaces from /Users/pz/w/vex/desktop. Use when Codex needs to run Storybook, the standalone Vite shell, or the real Tauri desktop app; inspect ports, readiness, and logs; troubleshoot desktop boot failures; or prepare the app for screenshot-based visual verification.

🛠️ Utilities

General-purpose utility skills.

Skill	Description
shell	Runs the rest of a /shell request as a literal shell command. Use only when the user explicitly invokes /shell and wants the following text executed directly in the terminal.
babysit	Keep a PR merge-ready by triaging comments, resolving clear conflicts, and fixing CI in a loop.
update-cli-config	View and modify Cursor CLI configuration settings in ~/.cursor/cli-config.json. Use when the user wants to change CLI settings, configure permissions, switch approval mode, enable vim mode, toggle display options, configure sandbox, or manage any CLI preferences.
update-cursor-settings	Modify Cursor/VSCode user settings in settings.json. Use when you want to change editor settings, preferences, configuration, themes, font size, tab size, format on save, auto save, keybindings, or any settings.json values.

📦 Skill Containers

Composite skills that contain multiple sub-skills.

Skill	Description
codex-primary-runtime	Container for Codex primary runtime skills including PowerPoint slides and Excel spreadsheets. Contains sub-skills: slides/, spreadsheets/.

Installation

Method 1: Direct Clone (Recommended for development)

git clone https://github.com/pandelisz/skills.git ~/.cursor/skills
# or
git clone https://github.com/pandelisz/skills.git ~/.codex/skills

Method 2: Using setup.sh

git clone https://github.com/pandelisz/skills.git
cd skills
./setup.sh --install

Method 3: Using npx skills

npx skills add pandelis/skills

Method 4: Symlink (keeps git repo separate)

git clone https://github.com/pandelisz/skills.git ~/dev/skills
ln -s ~/dev/skills ~/.cursor/skills
# or
ln -s ~/dev/skills ~/.codex/skills

Skill Structure

Each skill follows the Agent Skills Specification:

skills/
  <skill-name>/
    SKILL.md              # Required - skill instructions and metadata
    agents/
      openai.yaml         # UI metadata for agent interfaces
    scripts/              # Optional - utility scripts
    references/           # Optional - documentation references
    assets/               # Optional - templates, images, etc.

Usage Examples

Continue iterating on Codex recommendations

When Codex says:

"If you want, I can keep driving the kernel build in the next turn..."

The codex-continue-iterating skill activates and automatically continues the work without requiring you to manually restart.

Create a new skill

User: "I want to create a skill for deploying to Kubernetes"
[create-skill activates]
Agent: "I'll guide you through creating a Kubernetes deployment skill..."

Visual review with Storybook

User: "Check the Button component in Storybook"
[storybook-visual-review activates]
Agent: "Opening Storybook, navigating to Button component, capturing screenshot..."

Canvas for data visualization

User: "Show me the analytics data"
[canvas activates]
Agent: "Creating a canvas with interactive charts for your analytics..."

Creating New Skills

See skills/create-skill/SKILL.md for the full skill authoring guide, or use the skill itself:

User: "Help me create a new skill"
[create-skill activates and guides you through the process]
