# What's inside

5 skills, organized by what they do — not by SDLC phase. These are **discrete capabilities** an agent reaches for when the task fits, not lifecycle steps that fire in sequence.

# 🌐 Infrastructure

| Skill | What it does | Cost / latency |
|---|---|---|
| ☁️ **[cloudflare-dns](skills/cloudflare-dns/)** | End-to-end Cloudflare DNS migration and management. Move domains from any registrar, manage records via API, harden with DNSSEC + CAA + Origin CA, roll back cleanly. State persists in `./.dns-state//` for reuse + rollback. | Free + ~5 min/domain |
| 🧾 **[namecheap-dns](skills/namecheap-dns/)** | Manage DNS records at Namecheap via the XML API — list, add, update, delete A/AAAA/CNAME/TXT/MX without the dashboard. Handles the two API quirks (IP allowlist, wholesale-replace `setHosts`) transparently. | Free + ~30s/change |
| 🚀 **[fly-to-aws-migration](skills/fly-to-aws-migration/)** | End-to-end playbook for migrating a Fly.io project to AWS. 7 phases, 5 PRs, full rollback preserved. Postgres → Aurora, Machines → ECS Fargate, static sites → S3+CloudFront, DNS cutover via Cloudflare. Battle-tested with ≤9 min total downtime. | ~6 hours, ~$330–640/mo target spend |

# 🔍 Research

| Skill | What it does | Cost / latency |
|---|---|---|
| 🔬 **[deep-research](skills/deep-research/)** | Parallel multi-source research orchestrator. Fans out across **8 sources** (X, Reddit, HN, GitHub repos + issues, Polymarket, YouTube with transcripts, Exa neural search) via [monid](https://monid.dev). One auth, one balance, structured + human-readable evidence dumps. | ~$0.10–0.20 + ~60–90s/run |

# 🎨 Creative

| Skill | What it does | Cost / latency |
|---|---|---|
| 🎨 **[terminal-poster](skills/terminal-poster/)** | Generates dense, retro-cyberpunk infographic posters in a terminal aesthetic — pixel-bitmap headlines, ASCII box-drawing, monospace fonts. Five reusable templates (Cluster A–E). Cluster A audited at 99% fidelity. | ~$0.002 + ~30s/image |

# Quick Start

🟢 Claude Code (recommended)

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ravidsrk/agent-skills.git
cd agent-skills

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
for s in skills/*/; do
name=$(basename "$s")
ln -sf "$(pwd)/$s" "$HOME/.claude/skills/$name"
done
```

✅ All 5 skills are now available. Symlinks mean `git pull` keeps them up to date.

📖 **Full guide:** [docs/claude-code-setup.md](docs/claude-code-setup.md)

🟢 Mogra

```bash
cd /workspace
git clone https://github.com/ravidsrk/agent-skills.git

mkdir -p /workspace/.mogra/skills
for s in agent-skills/skills/*/; do
name=$(basename "$s")
ln -sf "$(pwd)/$s" "/workspace/.mogra/skills/$name"
done
```

Restart your Mogra session and the skills appear.

📖 **Full guide:** [docs/mogra-setup.md](docs/mogra-setup.md)

🟡 Cursor

Per-project install — copy `SKILL.md` into `.cursor/rules/`:

```bash
mkdir -p .cursor/rules
cp /path/to/agent-skills/skills/cloudflare-dns/SKILL.md .cursor/rules/cloudflare-dns.md
```

📖 **Full guide:** [docs/cursor-setup.md](docs/cursor-setup.md)

🟡 OpenCode

OpenCode reads `AGENTS.md` and the `skills/` directory automatically:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ravidsrk/agent-skills.git ~/.opencode/agent-skills
ln -s ~/.opencode/agent-skills/skills ~/.opencode/skills
```

📖 **Full guide:** [docs/opencode-setup.md](docs/opencode-setup.md)

🟡 Codex / GitHub Copilot / any other agent

Skills are plain Markdown — they work with any agent that accepts system prompts or instruction files.

For Copilot, concatenate skills into `.github/copilot-instructions.md`:

```bash
cat skills/cloudflare-dns/SKILL.md \
skills/namecheap-dns/SKILL.md \
> .github/copilot-instructions.md
```

📖 **Full guide:** [docs/generic-setup.md](docs/generic-setup.md)

# Set the env vars

Each skill needs different secrets. Set them in your shell — never paste into prompts.

```bash
# cloudflare-dns
export CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY=cfat_...
export CLOUDFLARE_GLOBAL_API_KEY=... # only for new-zone creation
export CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL=you@example.com

# namecheap-dns
export NAMECHEAP_API_KEY=...
export NAMECHEAP_API_USER=your-account

# fly-to-aws-migration
export AWS_PROFILE=migration
export FLY_API_TOKEN=...
# (also uses CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY for the DNS cutover phase)

# deep-research
export MONID_API_KEY=...

# terminal-poster
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=...
```

🔴 **All skills read env vars at runtime — they're never written to disk.** Don't commit `.env` files.

---

# Try it

Skills auto-activate based on the `description` field in their `SKILL.md`. Just ask the agent for what you want.

> 💬 *"Move example.com's DNS to Cloudflare"* → activates `cloudflare-dns`
>
> 💬 *"Add a CNAME for docs.example.com pointing at my Fly app"* → activates `namecheap-dns`
>
> 💬 *"Migrate my Fly project to AWS"* → activates `fly-to-aws-migration`
>
> 💬 *"Do a deep dive on AI agent harness engineering"* → activates `deep-research`
>
> 💬 *"Generate a terminal-style poster for our deployment pipeline"* → activates `terminal-poster`

# How skills work

Every skill follows the same anatomy:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ SKILL.md │
│ │
│ ┌─ Frontmatter ─────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ name: lowercase-hyphen-name │ │
│ │ description: Does X. Use when… │ │
│ │ compatibility: needs $ENV_VAR, bash, curl │ │
│ └───────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│ │
│ Overview → What this skill does │
│ When to use → Triggering conditions │
│ Setup → Env vars + dependencies │
│ Workflow → Step-by-step process │
│ Gotchas → Known traps + fixes │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

**Key design choices:**

- 🟢 **Process, not prose.** Skills are workflows agents follow, not reference docs they read.
- 🟢 **Spec-compliant.** Every skill validates against the [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io/specification) format.
- 🟢 **Battle-tested.** These are the actual tools used in production, not theoretical patterns.
- 🟢 **Progressive disclosure.** `SKILL.md` is the entry point. References load on demand to keep token usage low.
- 🟢 **Capability-first, not SDLC-first.** Unlike skill packs that map to DEFINE → PLAN → BUILD → SHIP, these are discrete tools. Pick what you need.

- `README.md` — Human install + usage docs
- `scripts/` — Runnable helpers (optional)
- `references/` — Long-form docs loaded on demand (optional)
- `templates/` — Boilerplate users copy into their projects (optional)
- `assets/` — Example outputs, fixtures (optional)

# Validation

Every push runs the validator. Run it locally before committing:

```bash
python3 scripts/validate-skills.py
```

Output:

```
✅ cloudflare-dns
✅ deep-research
✅ fly-to-aws-migration
✅ namecheap-dns
✅ terminal-poster

🟢 All 5 skills valid against agentskills.io spec.
```

The validator enforces the spec rules (frontmatter shape, name/directory matching, description length). Non-zero exit code if any skill fails — perfect for CI.

# Why this repo exists

Most agent skill packs are shaped like a software lifecycle — DEFINE → PLAN → BUILD → SHIP. That's useful for skills that encode process discipline (writing specs, doing TDD, reviewing code).

This repo is shaped differently. These are **capability skills** — tools the agent reaches for when the task fits. You don't migrate to AWS as part of a SDLC phase; you migrate when you migrate. You don't run deep research because the workflow says so; you run it when you need evidence.

The two styles are complementary. For SDLC discipline, [addyosmani/agent-skills](https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills) is excellent. For real-world infrastructure and content tooling, this repo is what I reach for.

The shared bet: **portable, public, spec-compliant** skills make agents better.

# Contributing

PRs welcome — new skills, fixes to existing ones, better docs. Quality bar:

- 🟢 **Specific:** actionable steps, not vague advice
- 🟢 **Verifiable:** clear exit criteria with evidence requirements
- 🟢 **Battle-tested:** based on real workflows you've shipped
- 🟢 **Minimal:** only what's needed to guide the agent

📖 See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) and [docs/skill-anatomy.md](docs/skill-anatomy.md).

**TL;DR:** create `skills//SKILL.md` + `README.md`, run `python3 scripts/validate-skills.py`, update the skills table, open a PR.

# Credits

- 🏗️ **Repo structure** — inspired by [addyosmani/agent-skills](https://github.com/addyosmani/agent-skills). The plugin manifest pattern, multi-runtime setup docs, expandable installs, and `AGENTS.md` conventions came from there.
- 🎨 **`terminal-poster`** — visual pattern reverse-engineered from public posts by [@shannholmberg](https://x.com/shannholmberg) on X. The skill makes the look reproducible across topics; Shann designed the look itself.
- 🔍 **`deep-research`** — originally inspired by [`mvanhorn/last30days-skill`](https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skill). The 30-day default window came from that upstream; the 8-source fan-out and monid routing were rebuilt from scratch.
