Skills Kit

An opinionated collection of Agent Skills I use daily in my work.

Not a marketplace—a toolkit. These are skills I've built and curated for my own workflows with Claude Code. If they're useful to you too, great.

Why This Exists

Agent Skills are how Claude Code extends its capabilities—model-invoked, context-aware, and progressively loaded. I built this collection because:

1. I use them—every skill here solves a real problem I encounter
2. They work—each is tested in production workflows
3. They're opinionated—built my way, for my workflows

If you're looking for a public marketplace with community contributions, this isn't it. If you want tools that have been battle-tested in real work, read on.

Installing with skillctl

skillctl is a local-first skill manager that projects skills into the roots multiple agent runtimes actually read (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Amp, OpenCode). One tool, every runtime.

Install skillctl

curl -fsSL https://github.com/nibzard/skillctl/releases/latest/download/skillctl-install.sh | sh

Install a skill from this repo

# Initialize skillctl in your workspace
skillctl init

# Install a skill
skillctl install https://github.com/nibzard/skills --name yt-transcript --subpath skills/yt-transcript

# Project into runtime roots
skillctl sync

Manage installed skills

skillctl list              # what's installed and where it projects
skillctl update yt-transcript   # pull upstream changes
skillctl explain yt-transcript  # why a skill is active or shadowed
skillctl doctor            # diagnose drift, conflicts, missing projections
skillctl override yt-transcript # customize without forking
skillctl fork yt-transcript    # take full local ownership
skillctl remove yt-transcript  # uninstall

See the skillctl README for the full command reference.

Contributing

This is a personal toolkit, but I accept quality PRs that align with the collection's scope:

• New skills must solve a real, generalizable problem
• Improvements should maintain existing functionality
• Documentation must be clear and complete

Before contributing, check that your skill isn't better suited as a standalone plugin or separate marketplace.
