Baufest Skills
A curated collection of agent skills for Baufest consulting teams, built on the agentskills.io open standard.
Skills are structured instruction sets that any compatible AI coding agent can discover and execute. Each skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter (for discovery) and a markdown body (for execution). Skills follow a progressive disclosure model: agents see only the name and description at discovery time, load the full instructions on trigger, and pull in references or scripts on demand. This keeps context lean while enabling deep, specialized behavior.
Skills are agent-agnostic. The same skill works across Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code / Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, and any agent that supports the agentskills.io specification.

How to Use
Claude Code
Install from the marketplace:
plugin marketplace add baufest/skills
Select the consulting-skills plugin, then install. Skills are automatically available in all sessions.
Manual install: Clone this repo and symlink to your skills directory:
git clone https://github.com/baufest/skills.git
ln -s $(pwd)/skills ~/.claude/skills
Cursor
Clone the repo, then add the skills directory to your Cursor settings:
{
"chat.agentSkillsLocations": [
"/path/to/baufest-skills/skills"
]
}
VS Code / Copilot
Place skills in .github/skills/ in your project, or configure chat.agentSkillsLocations in VS Code settings:
{
"chat.agentSkillsLocations": [
"/path/to/baufest-skills/skills"
]
}
Any Spec-Compliant Agent
Clone this repo and point your agent's skill discovery at the skills/ directory. The agent must support the agentskills.io specification — it will read SKILL.md frontmatter for discovery and load skill bodies on demand.
Skill Anatomy
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md # Required: YAML frontmatter + markdown instructions
├── scripts/ # Optional: executable helpers
├── references/ # Optional: loaded on-demand into context
└── assets/ # Optional: templates, images, static files
- SKILL.md: The only required file. Contains YAML frontmatter (
name, description, license, metadata) and a markdown body with instructions.
- references/: Supporting documents loaded on demand when the skill's instructions reference them. Keeps the main SKILL.md focused.
- examples/: Format exemplars that show the agent what good output looks like.
- scripts/: Executable helpers for deterministic operations (file transforms, validation).
