A personal collection of AI agent skills, prompts, instructions, and agents for GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex.
Heads up: This repo is primarily for my own use and experimentation. The skills here drive my personal agent workflows across all my projects — some are polished, some are rough drafts, and the structure evolves continuously.
That said — if you stumble across something useful, you're very welcome to ⭐ star the repo, open an issue with thoughts, or raise a PR. Happy to hear what others find valuable.
Skills are on-demand workflow bundles — loaded when relevant, not always-on. Each skill lives in its own folder with a SKILL.md and optional scripts/, references/, or templates/ assets.
The active skills here are part of a global process/methodology layer — things like brainstorming and the navigator skills (navigator-thinking, research-navigator, etc.) that route to domain-specific skills installed on-demand.
Domain skills (Django, WordPress, frontend, testing, marketing, science, etc.) live in a separate long-tail catalog and are installed per-session only. This keeps the always-loaded global footprint small.
