This repository is a curated collection of 177+ domain-specific scientific 'skills' for AI agents, following the Agent Skills standard. Each skill is a self-contained module providing a CLI tool, documentation, and tests for a specific scientific or technical task—ranging from single-cell RNA-seq analysis (scanpy) and molecular docking (diffdock) to clinical report validation and ISO standards readiness. The architecture is a monorepo of independent skills, each with its own scripts/, references/, assets/, and tests/. Skills are designed to be safe, bounded, and reproducible: they validate inputs before execution, enforce resource limits, avoid network access unless explicitly required, and produce structured JSON reports. The repository also includes a shared test infrastructure (skill_contract) and a meta-skill (autoskill) that can automatically propose new skills from screen activity. While primarily an application library for AI agents, it has strong data/research characteristics due to its heavy use of scientific data formats and validation of research artifacts.

This repository is a curated 'awesome list' and comprehensive documentation hub for the Agent Skills ecosystem. It does not contain any executable application code, data pipelines, or machine learning models. Instead, it serves as a static directory of links to official projects (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Vercel, etc.), community-contributed skills, tutorials, and best-practice guides. The core value lies in its translated and aggregated documentation, including detailed guides on Skill design patterns, practical experience from Anthropic, and a complete build guide. It is a reference resource, not a software tool. Engineers and AI agents should use this repo to discover the Agent Skills specification, find relevant skills to install, and learn how to create their own. It is not a library or framework to be imported.

This repository is a comprehensive, production-focused AI system design guide, not a software application. It contains over 170 markdown files organized into 19 chapters covering the full lifecycle of building and operating AI systems: foundations (transformers, tokenization), model landscape (selection, pricing), training and adaptation (fine-tuning, LoRA, RLHF), inference optimization (KV cache, speculative decoding, batching), prompting and context engineering, retrieval systems (RAG, chunking, vector databases, hybrid search, GraphRAG), agentic systems (ReAct, MCP, multi-agent orchestration, durable execution), memory and state management, frameworks and tools (LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, DSPy, Semantic Kernel), document processing, infrastructure and MLOps (CI/CD, AI gateways, FinOps), security and access control, reliability and safety (guardrails, ensemble methods, governance), evaluation and observability (LLM evaluation, benchmarks), design patterns and anti-patterns, and 20+ real-world case studies. It also includes interview preparation materials (question bank, answer frameworks, whiteboard exercises, job market trends) and transition guides for engineers moving into AI roles. The content is current as of mid-2026, referencing specific model versions, pricing, and protocols (MCP 2.0, A2A). While it contains no executable code, it serves as an authoritative reference for engineers designing and deploying AI systems in production.

Claude Delegator is a Claude Code plugin that provides GPT (via Codex CLI) and Gemini (via Gemini CLI) as specialized expert subagents. It offers five domain experts (Architect, Plan Reviewer, Scope Analyst, Code Reviewer, Security Analyst) that can advise or implement based on task requirements. The plugin uses MCP (Model Context Protocol) to connect to external CLIs, featuring sophisticated delegation logic with proactive triggers, session management (single-shot and multi-turn), and response synthesis. A key innovation is the zero-dependency Gemini MCP bridge that wraps the Gemini CLI in a standard MCP interface.

This repository is a comprehensive plugin and skill set for Claude Code (and compatible CLI assistants like Codex CLI and OpenCode), designed to transform the AI into a semi-automated research assistant for academic and software development workflows. It is not a standalone application but a configuration package that installs skills, commands, agents, hooks, and rules into the user's Claude environment. The architecture follows a skill-based pattern: each skill is a directory with a SKILL.md entry point, references, examples, and optional scripts, all consumed by the AI at runtime. The repository covers the full research lifecycle—ideation, literature review (via Zotero MCP and arXiv APIs), experiment analysis, ML paper writing with conference-specific LaTeX templates (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ACL, AAAI), reviewer response drafting, publication chart creation, and post-acceptance promotion. It also integrates deeply with Obsidian for project knowledge management and includes a meta-toolchain for developing and QA-ing skills themselves. While primarily an application configuration, it contains substantial research-oriented content (Kaggle competition analyses, citation verification workflows, writing pattern references), making it a hybrid tool that bridges software engineering and data science research. The codebase is actively maintained, well-documented, and demonstrates strong craftsmanship in its script utilities and hook infrastructure.

This repository is an Obsidian plugin that integrates GitHub Copilot's AI-powered coding assistance directly into the Obsidian note-taking application. It provides two main features: inline code suggestions as you type (similar to Copilot in IDEs) and a chat interface for interacting with Copilot in a sidebar. The plugin handles authentication with GitHub Copilot, manages conversation history, renders Mermaid diagrams from AI responses, and allows linking to Obsidian notes using [[double bracket]] syntax in chat conversations. The architecture separates concerns into distinct modules for inline suggestions (using LSP protocol) and chat functionality (using direct API calls), with React powering the chat UI and Zustand managing state.

Talkio is a local-first desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux via Tauri 2) and Android application for multi-AI group chat. Unlike a conventional ChatGPT wrapper, it orchestrates conversations where multiple AI models — OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Anthropic Messages, plus DeepSeek/Groq/Ollama via compatible endpoints — converse together in one thread, each bound to a configurable persona/identity with its own system prompt and model selection. Core features include streaming SSE generation, an MCP (Model Context Protocol) client with both stdio subprocess (desktop) and custom streamable-HTTP transports, a tool-call loop supporting iterative tool execution, automatic conversation context compression, chat branching/regeneration, file attachment parsing (PDF/Word/Excel/images), and export to Markdown/PDF. All data is local: conversations persist in SQLite via the Tauri SQL plugin, while providers, identities, MCP servers, and settings live in localStorage.

This repository is a TypeScript monorepo for an AI-powered autonomous web browsing agent called 'open-browser'. It consists of three packages: core library (open-browser), CLI (@open-browser/cli), and sandbox (@open-browser/sandbox). The core library orchestrates an agent loop that uses Playwright to control a Chromium browser, extracts DOM state via CDP, sends it to an LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) which decides actions in structured JSON, and executes those actions via a CommandExecutor. The system supports vision screenshots, extended thinking, compact mode, planning, evaluation, replay recording, and MCP server integration. The CLI provides commands for running agents, interactive sessions, and direct browser manipulation. The sandbox provides resource-limited execution. Key entry points include the Agent class, Viewport browser session, CommandExecutor, and BridgeServer. External dependencies include Playwright, Vercel AI SDK, Zod, Turndown, and various LLM provider SDKs. The architecture follows a modular monorepo with clear separation of concerns, event-driven communication via EventHub, and a guard/watchdog pattern for browser lifecycle management. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices with extensive use of Zod schemas for structured outputs, a command catalog pattern, and comprehensive telemetry and cost tracking.

This is a Claude Code plugin and resource library, not a deployable application or data pipeline: 27 slash commands, 9+ autonomous skills, 3 auditor subagents, and extensive prompt-engineering documentation that extend the Claude Code CLI. In production, the system functions as configuration-as-code content consumed by the Claude Code runtime — teaching the assistant how to create executable plans (PLAN.md is the prompt itself), chain meta-prompts, build MCP servers, manage subagent orchestration, run autonomous coding loops (the 'Ralph' technique), and apply iOS/macOS development expertise. The only real executable code is a handful of self-contained scripts: a TypeScript CLI for The Pirate Bay API, Python/TypeScript MCP server templates, project scaffolding shell scripts, and autonomous loop iteration scripts. The dominant architectural pattern is the 'router skill': a SKILL.md entry point with essential principles, an intake gate, a routing table, and progressive disclosure into workflows, references, templates, and scripts — implemented consistently across all skills with pure XML prompt structure and checkpoint-based plan execution. Despite being classified as an application (there is no data-research character — no notebooks, datasets, or pipelines), its substance is largely authored content rather than software. The craft is strong: consistent XML schemas across files, a genuine QA layer (skill-auditor agents), secret hygiene practices, and a well-developed checkpoint/auth-gate protocol for safe automation. However, the repo carries real drift risks: duplicated reference files (research-pitfalls.md, cli-observability.md are copied across skills), dangling references to not-yet-created files, tight coupling to Claude Code's evolving plugin API, version-specific Apple platform guidance that will age, and the included The Pirate Bay skill which depends on a fragile third-party API and presents a content-policy concern. An engineer seeking to reuse this should extract the self-contained templates and scripts (MCP server scaffolding, loop automation) and treat the reference material as opinionated prompt guidance rather than canonical documentation.

CtxPort is a browser extension and companion documentation website that lets users copy AI conversations (from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Doubao, GitHub) as structured Markdown Context Bundles. It solves 'context rot' by enabling portable, lossless migration of conversations between AI tools without uploading data to third parties. The architecture is a modern monorepo using pnpm workspaces and Turborepo, with separate packages for schema validation (Zod), markdown serialization, plugin-based extraction, and shared UI components. The browser extension (Manifest V3, WXT, React 19, Tailwind CSS 4) injects copy buttons and sidebar list icons into supported platforms, while the documentation website (Next.js + Nextra) provides multilingual (en/zh) user guides and feature descriptions. All processing is client-side; no data is uploaded. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices including a plugin system for extensibility, a strategy pattern for content flatteners, clean separation of concerns, and comprehensive CI/CD pipelines. Some fragility exists in DOM selectors and platform APIs, but the architecture is well-structured for adaptation.

Spawn is a multi-cloud VM provisioning CLI that deploys AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, etc.) onto cloud VMs (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS Lightsail, GCP, Daytona, Sprite) with a single command. It handles the full lifecycle: interactive agent/cloud selection via fuzzy matching, VM provisioning, SSH key injection, agent installation (npm binaries, pre-built tarballs, or Docker sidecars), environment configuration (OpenRouter API key, MCP servers via skill files), and interactive session handoff. The system supports headless mode, recursive spawning (agent launching sub-agents), auto-update systemd services, and a security scan cron. It is distributed as per-cloud JS bundles (Bun.build, minified) with curl|bash wrappers that download from GitHub Releases, and a Windows PowerShell installer. Architecturally, Spawn is a modular monolith: a shared orchestration pipeline (`shared/orchestrate.ts`) drives cloud-specific providers implementing a common `CloudRunner`/`CloudOrchestrator` interface (authenticate → promptSize → createServer → waitForReady → install → configure → launch → interactiveSession). Agents and clouds are defined in a `manifest.json` that validates compatibility via runtime type contracts. A shared `Result` monad (`@openrouter/spawn-shared`) enables functional error handling with retry semantics across SSH calls and cloud API interactions. The codebase is well-tested (~100+ test files) with fs-isolated sandboxes, mocked cloud prompts, and integration tests against real cloud providers via an E2E harness. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices: schema-validated input parsing (valibot), security-first validation (allowlists for every user-controlled input: instance names, IPs, SSH usernames, shell commands, remote paths), and atomic file operations with corruption recovery for history persistence. However, there is significant duplication across cloud providers (near-identical SSH execution patterns in each cloud module), large monolithic files (orchestrate.ts ~1000+ lines, agent-setup.ts ~2000 lines), and manual drift risk from hardcoded API slugs (DigitalOcean marketplace images, Hetzner server types, GCP machine types) and embedded OAuth client secrets (documented as acceptable public-client pattern).

GitMCP is a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server running on Cloudflare Workers that turns any public GitHub repository (or GitHub Pages site) into live, searchable documentation for AI tools. AI clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and MCP Inspector connect to gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo} over SSE with OAuth and receive repo-specific MCP tools: fetch_<repo>_documentation, search_<repo>_documentation, search_<repo>_code, and fetch_url_content. The ingestion pipeline fetches llms.txt first (falling back to README.md, then landing-page HTML converted via html-to-md), chunks it with markdown-aware chunkers (heading-context-preserving, code-block and list aware), and indexes it into Cloudflare Vectorize using a dependency-free deterministic embedder built from hashing plus term-frequency/keyword extraction, with a hybrid ranking that blends normalized vector similarity (60%) with keyword/proximity/heading heuristics (40%). Robots.txt is parsed, cached, and respected before external fetches - an uncommon discipline for doc scrapers. The codebase also ships a full web chat application (React Router v7, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, AI SDK) with model selection across OpenAI/Anthropic/Groq/XAI, MCP server management, and a streaming chat API endpoint. Architecturally, the MCP server itself is implemented as a Cloudflare Durable Object (MyMCP), with KV caching (TTL with jitter to prevent cache stampedes), R2 storage for pre-generated docs, a queue for background ingestion, Vectorize for semantic search, Analytics Engine for usage metrics, and GitHub API integration with rate-limit tracking and retry/backoff. A notable design pattern is the RepoHandler strategy interface: per-repo families (three.js, react-router) provide customized tool sets, doc-fetch strategies, and search behavior while the generic handler covers all other repos, including a static mapping of library names to their canonical doc repos. Testing is solid: Vitest unit tests cover tool registration, repo handlers, URL parsing, caching, and three.js utilities (with snapshots), and Playwright e2e tests run against a locally-provisioned R2 environment; CI runs both on push/PR. Weaknesses and drift: the embedding layer is explicitly a prototype-grade stand-in ('In a production environment, you would use a proper embedding service like OpenAI') and will produce weak semantic results; badge.ts contains ~96k tokens of hardcoded escaped SVG logo paths (extreme maintenance fragility); several hardcoded host URLs (git-mcp.idosalomon.workers.dev, CHAT_API_URL) baked into source; a generated-type mismatch where Vectorize metadata filters use $gt at runtime but generated types only declare $eq/$ne; vector re-ingestion only deletes the first 100 stale chunks (repos with more chunks accumulate orphans); and the frontend uses React Router v7's unstable_viteEnvironmentApi. These are prototype-velocity marks rather than architectural rot - the core strategy/caching/testing structure is genuinely well-built.

This repository is a collection of Agent Skills for AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) that enables them to interact with Obsidian vaults. It contains six skill definitions: obsidian-markdown (creating Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties), obsidian-bases (creating database-like .base files with views, filters, formulas), json-canvas (creating visual .canvas files with nodes and edges), obsidian-cli (interacting with Obsidian via CLI for note management and plugin development), defuddle (extracting clean markdown from web pages), and knap (rendering Markdown templates from structured data). Each skill is a self-contained markdown file following the Agent Skills specification, providing detailed syntax, examples, and validation steps. The repository is purely documentation with no executable code, serving as a knowledge base that AI agents use to perform Obsidian-related tasks on behalf of users.

This repository is a Claude Code plugin and design system library for generating zero-dependency HTML presentations. It provides a structured workflow (SKILL.md) for an AI agent to create single-file slide decks with inline CSS/JS, featuring 34+ curated design templates (bold-template-pack) with detailed color palettes, typography scales, component definitions, and CJK internationalization guidance. The core runtime component is a reusable `<deck-stage>` web component that handles slide navigation, keyboard controls, auto-scaling, print support, and speaker notes. Supporting scripts enable Vercel deployment, PDF export via Playwright, and PowerPoint-to-JSON extraction. The repository is primarily a design specification library consumed by an AI coding agent, not a standalone application. It exhibits a hybrid nature: the templates are extensive design documentation (not executable code), while the plugin infrastructure and web component are functional code. The design philosophy emphasizes anti-generic aesthetics, fixed 16:9 stage scaling, and progressive disclosure of supporting files. Notable duplication exists between root and plugin paths, and all templates are marked alpha.

The repository serves as the official website and resource hub for the Noi desktop application. It contains the documentation site built with Docusaurus and Tailwind CSS, localization files for the application's UI, a prompt library for AI-assisted workflows, and example configuration files. While the core desktop application source is not present in this repository, the provided resources demonstrate good practices in internationalization, configuration-driven design, and prompt management. The documentation site is a well-crafted web application that effectively communicates the features and usage of the Noi desktop app.

This repository is a content-based Claude Code skill package rather than a conventional software service. It contains two agent skills — /tutor-setup and /tutor — that an LLM coding assistant executes using filesystem and WebFetch tools. tutor-setup scans a working directory, auto-detects whether it contains source code or documents, and generates an Obsidian StudyVault: concept notes, dashboards, exam-traps, and practice questions, with strict rules for source traceability, tag registries, wiki-linking, and folder conventions. tutor-setup operates through detailed phase models (D1-D9 for documents, C1-C9 for codebases), and codebase mode produces architecture maps, module notes, API surfaces, and onboarding exercises. tutor then reads that vault and runs interactive 4-question quiz rounds, updating concept-level progress files and a compact dashboard; it supports diagnostic, weak-area drill, section review, and hard-mode sessions, all governed by a zero-hint quiz design rule in references/quiz-rules.md. The implementation is almost entirely Markdown instructions plus two small Bash install/uninstall scripts; there is no compiled code, test suite, CI pipeline, or dependency manifest. The operational logic is prompt/instruction engineering that Claude Code interprets. External dependencies are Claude Code (or a compatible npx-skills-aware assistant), Obsidian for reviewing generated vaults, pdftotext/poppler for PDF extraction, and the assistant's built-in Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, WebFetch, and AskUserQuestion tools. The data flow is unidirectional: source files in the CWD are scanned and extracted, transformed into StudyVault markdown, then quiz answers update concept files and dashboard aggregate stats. The skill enforces a CWD boundary to avoid accessing files outside the working directory. The strong point is unusually detailed and internally consistent procedural specification: mandatory source-content verification, per-topic coverage rules, tag registries, active-recall fold callouts, interlinking requirements, and self-review quality checklists. Weaknesses are the absence of automated tests/CI and versioned dependency pins, and behavior ultimately depends on the host LLM following prompt rules correctly. The README also references a different GitHub owner (RoundTable02) than the repository path (bevibing/tutor-skills), indicating a fork or repackage whose provenance should be verified before use. Overall, it fulfills its stated purpose well, and several Markdown modules are genuinely reusable as templates for other agent skills, study-vault generators, or adaptive quiz systems.

This is a collection of 12 lessons on effective AI-assisted software development, derived from real-world experience with tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and Claude. It is not a software application or data research project—it is pure documentation. The lessons cover project structure, planning, problem decomposition, test writing, commit discipline, and prompt engineering. The content is clear, concise, and immediately applicable. No code or data pipelines are present; the value lies in the reusable practices and mental models it teaches.

This repository is a curated collection of Claude skills—markdown instructions and supporting scripts that enable Claude (or any MCP-compatible agent) to perform a wide range of tasks, from document manipulation (DOCX, PPTX, PDF, XLSX) and GIF animation to web testing, MCP server building, and automation of hundreds of third-party SaaS services via Composio's Rube MCP. The repo is primarily a skill library with a standardized template for each skill, but it also contains several well-crafted Python libraries (e.g., easing functions, particle systems, OOXML validation frameworks) that are genuinely reusable. The architecture is modular: each skill lives in its own directory with a SKILL.md and optional scripts. The heavy reliance on external services (Composio, Rube MCP) and the massive duplication of templated skill documentation introduce maintenance risks, but the core utility scripts demonstrate solid engineering craftsmanship.
