The skills, system prompt, and CLIs I run every day.

A working kit for Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents. Pick the skills you want; the installer asks which agents to put them on.

Every track is credited to the person who wrote it, with the upstream commit it was copied from.

Tracklist

Open a track for its notes, its source, and a command that installs just that skill.

Side A · Engineering11 tracks

  1. A1sdlc-kitcskworka53bad0

    Gated SDLC loop with human approvals: intent, spec, plan, build, ship, maintain.

  2. A2verify-appcskworkthis repo

    Build and run the app to prove a change works end to end. For agents without a built-in verify, such as Codex; in Claude Code use the bundled /verify.

  3. A3db-intelligencecskworkd678ccd

    One skill for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MongoDB: detect the engine, connect credential-safe, read the schema, read before writing, never write to prod.

  4. A4sql-walkthroughcskwork10ac9c7

    Explain SQL and batch logic to a non-expert: numbered source lines, the real rows they read, per-line arithmetic, a results table where only the input changes, and an executed counter-example.

    Find deepening opportunities, show them as an HTML report, then grill through the one you pick.

  9. A9bughuntcskworkbughunt-skill

    Find and fix interaction bugs with seeded personas, invariant oracles, reproducible failures, and replay. App profiles fit it to games, CRUD apps (double submit, drafts, Korean IME, two sessions), AI chat (streaming, stop, safe rendering), and media (recording, permissions, interruptions). Godot, native iOS, and web adapters.

  10. A10swiftui-proPaul Hudsonf980071

    Review SwiftUI code for modern API use, data flow, navigation, accessibility, and performance, with before/after fixes. Targets the latest iOS and Swift; respects a project's existing deployment target.

    npx skills@latest add cskwork/skills --skill swiftui-pro
  11. A11quality-loopcskworkquality-loop-skill

    One quality bar and improvement loop for apps, sites, and games: four dimensions (experience, function, consumer trust, engineering), hard floors, an independent judge for release candidates, and a ledger where every fix leaves a guard. Every report opens with a quality % (target 90% or higher) and why each point was lost.

  3. C3gpt-image-2agentspace-so18d6100

Liner notes

The system prompt every agent gets: system-prompt/AGENTS.md, printed here in full.

Use the simplest existing solution that meets the current requirement.

Explore the relevant context first. Before implementing a new task, restate the intended outcome, scope, and success check, point out where the request conflicts with the code or data, include any questions that change the work, and wait for the user's agreement; for small, reversible changes with clear intent, state your reading and proceed. After agreement, finish implementation, verification, and delivery without check-ins: do not end a turn by announcing the next step, offering to continue, or listing decisions that block nothing. Give status and recommendations in the same message as the next action. Stop early only when nothing can move without the user, a protected resource blocks you, the agreed scope must materially change, or a step would cause data loss, public API changes, security consequences, or an unapproved migration. Merge or publish only when authorized.

Use the simplest existing solution that meets the current requirement; add complexity only for a demonstrated gap. Follow local patterns, keep failures explicit, and preserve compatibility and unrelated work. Fix root causes; never weaken, skip, or delete checks to make them pass.

Ground decisions in code, real data, and authoritative sources, including related ones the request does not name; challenge claims the evidence contradicts. Verify changed behavior, failure cases, and delivery with existing tests first; add focused coverage only for real gaps. Stop when checks pass and the outcome is met. If a check fails or you are blocked, say so with the evidence and what remains.

Delegate with the least expensive model and reasoning level that meets the task's quality bar; use the default in rules.md, or claude-opus-5-5 at medium reasoning if none is set. Run one delegate at a time unless parallelism reduces total work. Give each delegate a clean context: objective, paths, constraints, acceptance criteria, verified findings. Keep the coordinator on orchestration. Avoid polling and idle work.

Write to the user for a non-technical reader with limited attention: answer in the first sentence, then say the least that fully answers, in short paragraphs with only the decision or warning in bold. Never cut a warning, exact number, or condition the user needs to act on. Leave out code, data, and technical evidence; name what you hold back, and give it, or the full explanation, when asked. Return requested artifacts alone. Ask one question at a time, blocking question last. Report out-of-scope problems as recommendations; do not fix them unasked. When history matters, state who changed what and when, citing commits or tickets per environment; say "unknown" rather than infer.

Read repository instructions and ~/.agents/rules/rules.md when present.
