# Agent Skills



A curated source repo for agent skills and plugin bundles.



This repo is organized around the open Agent Skills CLI (`npx skills`) instead of local sync scripts:



- `plugins/`: plugin manifests that bundle a set of top-level skills (AgentRig distribution is not ready yet — install bundled skills individually for now).

- `skills/`: all installable skills, both standalone and the ones referenced by a plugin bundle. Each can be listed and installed independently.

- `internal/`: personal or experimental workflows that are not part of the public install surface.



## Install



Use the open Agent Skills CLI. List everything in the repo, then install per skill:



```bash

# List skills in this repo

npx skills add instructa/agent-skills --list

```



Use `-g` for a global install, or omit it for a project-local install. Add `--copy` if you prefer copied files instead of symlinks.

## Skills



### `regenrek.agentic-engineer-core`



Core agentic engineering skills for architecture, debugging, refactoring, and test ownership. Bundled skills live in the top-level `skills/` folder; the plugin manifest (`plugins/regenrek.agentic-engineer-core/.plugin/plugin.json`) declares which ones are part of the bundle. Each skill also has its own `README.md`.



Plugin category: `Development`.



Architecture / Ownership:



- `architecture-ownership`: determine the right runtime, first-fix, and canonical long-term owner.

- `find-duplicate-ownership`: audit duplicate ownership and hidden second sources of truth.

- `hard-cut`: keep one canonical implementation during pre-release refactors.



Debugging / Investigation:



- `root-cause-finder`: trace downstream errors to the first unintended side effect.

- `search-context`: search external repositories and reference code before guessing.



Testing:



- `consolidate-test-suites`: place bug-fix coverage in one owning test layer.



### Standalone Skills



These skills are kept as separate artifacts because they are useful independently. Each skill folder also has its own `README.md`.



- `app-spec-packager`: create production-ready app specification packages for coding agents.

- `debug-lldb`: capture and analyze LLDB/GDB backtraces for hangs and high-CPU loops.

- `electron-live-test`: live-test headed Electron apps with native-devtools-mcp and CDP.

- `gh-repo-bootstrap`: create a GitHub repo and bootstrap a local project.

- `git-safe-workflow`: inspect, stage, commit, and push safely when explicitly requested.

- `gitwhat`: print a compact git workspace snapshot.

- `go-local-health`: run local Go test, coverage, and lint health checks.

- `homebrew-publish`: prepare Homebrew tap formulae for CLI/TUI releases.

- `no-mistakes`: use the no-mistakes gated push workflow.

- `package-security-check`: run a reusable JavaScript supply-chain security baseline.

- `redesign-my-landingpage`: build and critique shadcn/Vite/Iconify landing pages.

- `secleak-check`: run BetterLeaks/Trivy scans and add secret-leak guardrails.

- `shellck`: run shellcheck over shell scripts.

- `stage-review`: commit a finished feature locally, then run it through no-mistakes.
