Core workflow skills — architecture review, ship checks, UI/UX, CTO reports, and skill authoring
Run a structured architecture decision process using subagent personas that debate the decision, then produce a signed ADR (markdown + optional HTML) and update a decision registry. Triggers on "should I use X or Y", "architecture decision", "ADR", "help me decide between", "which approach", "debate this", "tech decision". Use whenever the user is making a technical or architectural choice and needs structured thinking, not just a list of tradeoffs.
Interview, stress-test, and author new skills for the skills-i-use repo — or improve existing ones. Asks hard questions, runs reviewer subagents, writes design briefs, generates SKILL.md and supporting files, validates conventions, and registers in README and OUTPUT.md. Triggers on "create a skill", "new skill", "add a skill", "improve this skill", "author a skill", "skill for X workflow", "build a skill".
Generate a deep CTO self-review report: working hours, productivity patterns, focus sessions, AI collaboration depth, cognitive load signals, sustainability health, and codebase velocity — not just commit counts. Triggers on "weekly review", "CTO report", "week summary", "what did I build", "productivity report", "show me my week", "engineer report", "weekly digest". Scans git across repos, AI agent session logs, shell history, file timestamps, and produces markdown + HTML reports. Always trigger this skill for any weekly or periodic review of engineering or product work.
Pre-ship gate before commit or push — runs lint, typecheck, tests, build, secret scan, and git diff review, then outputs a READY/BLOCKED verdict with a proposed commit message. Never commits without explicit user confirmation. Triggers on "ship check", "ready to commit", "pre-push check", "commit and push", "ship this", "can I push".
UI/UX and product review for web interfaces — opinionated principles, checklist-driven audits, polish passes on screenshots, and pre-ship UI gates. Uses Playwright to navigate, screenshot, and smoke-test interactions when a URL is available. Triggers on "review my UI", "polish this", "UX audit", "fix the hero", "make it look professional", "ui pass", "design review", attaches screenshot with UI feedback. Use when building or reviewing interfaces and product flows, not generic code review.

npx skillsInstall skills into Cursor (and 50+ other agents) using the Agent Skills CLI (skills.sh):
# List installable skills from this repo
npx skills add hiteshbandhu/skills-i-use --list
# Install one skill into the current project
npx skills add hiteshbandhu/skills-i-use --skill ship-check
# Install globally (available across all projects)
npx skills add hiteshbandhu/skills-i-use --skill ship-check -g
# Target Cursor explicitly
npx skills add hiteshbandhu/skills-i-use --skill ship-check -a cursor
# Search the public skills directory
npx skills find ship check
The CLI discovers 39 skills — five core skills under skills/ plus 34 in the ai-engineer-talks bundle (via .claude-plugin/marketplace.json):
# List all skills (core + ai-engineer-talks, grouped in output)
npx skills add hiteshbandhu/skills-i-use --list
# Install an AI engineer talks skill
npx skills add hiteshbandhu/skills-i-use --skill build-rag-search-stacks -a cursor
| Skill | Install |
|---|---|
architecture-review | npx skills add hiteshbandhu/skills-i-use --skill architecture-review |
create-a-skill | npx skills add hiteshbandhu/skills-i-use --skill create-a-skill |
cto-weekly-review | npx skills add hiteshbandhu/skills-i-use --skill cto-weekly-review |

After install, invoke a skill with @skill-name in chat or /skill-name in Agent mode.
| Folder | What it contains |
|---|---|
skills/ | Reusable skill definitions and workflow prompts for AI agents |
plugins/ | Integrations, MCP servers, and tool extensions (coming soon) |
examples/ | Working configs and usage walkthroughs (coming soon) |
Skill definitions that extend AI agents with specialised workflows. Each skill writes
output to ./skill-outputs/{skill-name}/ in your project (configurable via
SKILL_OUTPUT_DIR). See skills/OUTPUT.md.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
architecture-review | Structured ADR process — subagent persona debate, markdown ADR, optional HTML, decision registry. |
cto-weekly-review | Deep weekly engineering report — parallel data collectors, markdown + HTML, links ADRs from architecture-review. Includes scripts. |
ship-check | Pre-ship gate — lint, typecheck, tests, build, diff review, commit message draft. Never commits without confirmation. Includes scripts. |
ui-ux | Product-aware UI/UX review and polish — Playwright verification, principles, checklist audits. |
create-a-skill | Author or improve repo skills — hard questions, reviewer subagents, validate, register. Includes scripts. |
Three skills ship shell scripts under scripts/. Always read a script before running it — review paths, env vars, and side effects. Do not run blindly.
| Skill | Scripts | What they touch |
|---|---|---|
cto-weekly-review | collect-git.sh, collect-ai-sessions.sh, collect-context.sh | Git repos, AI session logs, shell history, file timestamps, optional gh |
ship-check | ship-check.sh | Project lint/typecheck/test/build commands, git status/diff |
create-a-skill | validate-skill.sh | Skill folder structure and conventions (read-only checks) |
Each scripted skill documents its scripts in its README. When an agent proposes running one, double-check the command first.
