Agent Skills

---

name: domain

description: When you want to brainstorm and check available .com domains for a new project — brand naming, aftermarket pricing (HugeDomains / Afternic / Sedo / Dan), USPTO trademark screening, and social handle availability. Built on Laura Roeder's "work backwards from availability" method. Combines Vercel CLI, whois, Domainr, Namecheap, and agent-browser, each for what it reliably does. Workflow: budget → brainstorm → availability check → whois cross-check → price → aftermarket sweep (plus liveness probe and drop-watch) → bucket → negotiate → trademark + socials → buy. Triggers on "/domain," "find a domain," "check domain availability," "brainstorm a domain," "what .com is available for X," "domain hunt," "name my project," "is X.com available," "aftermarket price on X.com," "trademark check for X."

---

name: ingest

description: When you paste raw human input — a call transcript (Grain, Zoom, Granola, Fathom), a text or email from a client/partner/friend, a voice-memo dump, or meeting notes — and want it converted into structured work. Extracts decisions, action items (yours vs theirs), bugs/feature requests, and facts worth keeping; files GitHub issues in the right repo, captures to the second-brain vault, and drafts (never sends) the reply. Triggers on "/ingest", "ingest this", "here's my call with X," "here's the transcript," "this is from [person]," "[person] asked me this," "from [person]:", a pasted transcript with speaker labels, or a forwarded client message that clearly expects processing. Person→project routing lives in a private config; unknown senders get asked about once, then remembered.

---

name: jab-hook

description: Gary Vaynerchuk's jab-jab-jab-right-hook framework applied to a personal portfolio rotation on X and LinkedIn. Jabs = build-in-public + educational (value). Hooks = promo (the ask). Each property in the user's configured portfolio (see `~/.config/makerskills/jab-hook/properties.yaml`) gets a hook at least once every ~3 weeks; jabs fill the rest. Drafts go into the user's Typefully workspace via MCP. Modes — plan (7-day plan), pick-next (single post), audit (coverage report), draft (specific post). Triggers on "/jab-hook," "what should I post," "plan my socials," "next promo," "next jab," "next hook," "social rotation," "promote [property]," "BIP post," "audit my socials," "what haven't I posted about."

---

name: loopify

description: When you want to set up an agent loop, cron-scheduled task, or recurring workflow that runs autonomously. Judgment layer on top of Claude Code's ScheduleWakeup, CronCreate, and /loop — or, on other hosts, cron/GitHub Actions plus a headless agent CLI. Picks dynamic pacing, fixed cron, or a one-shot loop; designs idempotent loop bodies; sets bail-out conditions so loops don't run forever. Examples — weekly review pulse, daily brief, hourly metric monitor, periodic vault compile, upstream-check for an adapted skill. Triggers on "/loopify," "set up a loop," "schedule this task," "run this daily," "run this weekly," "cron this," "make this recurring," "automate this on a schedule," "keep this running until X." Part of the -ify trifecta (skillify / toolify / loopify). NOT for authoring a new skill — that's skillify. NOT for adding a tool/integration — that's toolify.

---

name: maker-council

description: When you want multiple expert perspectives on a founder/operator question — a simulated board of advisors (Jason Fried, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang, Bob Iger, Paul Graham, Naval Ravikant, Sara Blakely). Bring a real decision — "should I raise prices?", "hire my first employee?", "raise or bootstrap?", "kill this project?" — and the council weighs in through documented frameworks, surfaces disagreements, and synthesizes a recommendation. Also use for 'maker council,' 'board of advisors,' 'what would Bezos do,' 'what would Jason Fried say,' 'channel Naval,' 'ask the council,' or how a famous founder would approach a problem. Optional live-research pass via deep-research / watch-video / last30days. Marketing questions go to marketing-skills' marketing-council. Archives to ~/.config/makerskills/maker-council/archive/. To commit to a direction, hand off to decide.

---

name: paste

description: When you want to clean and reformat content (usually from your terminal) for pasting into Slack, Notion, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, email, GitHub, or plain text. Strips ANSI codes, box-drawing chars, terminal prompt artifacts, and applies destination-specific formatting. Default input is the system clipboard; default output is both the clipboard and a chat preview. Triggers on "/paste", "/paste [destination]", "clean this for X," "format for slack/notion/twitter/linkedin/email/github," "render as markdown," "paste-ready," "strip formatting," "make this copy-pastable." Default destination is plain. Also scans for secrets (API keys, tokens, .env values) and warns before copying anything sensitive.

---

name: personal-cfo

description: When you want to model personal financial scenarios — house purchase + rental income (ADU, bedroom rentals, house-hacking), renovation budgets, monthly cash flow, big-purchase decisions, savings/investment what-ifs for a household. Ships with a house scenario template; other scenarios (refi, car, education, retirement, side income) slot in as templates. Outputs markdown scenario comparison tables. Saves scenarios to ~/Documents/personal-cfo/ with an index in ~/.config/makerskills/personal-cfo/archive/. Composes with decide, deep-research (rental comps, rates), business-brainstorm, second-brain. Triggers on "/personal-cfo," "model this scenario," "house math," "rental forecast," "monthly cash flow," "what if I rent out the ADU," "compare these housing scenarios," "should we buy this house," "house-hack math," "renovation budget."

---

name: pm

description: When you want to manage projects across your businesses using a kanban + Eisenhower methodology. One kanban per business (whatever portfolio of businesses, projects, or initiatives you run). Tool-agnostic — connects via API/MCP to whatever PM tool each business uses (Notion, GitHub Projects, Plane, Linear, Obsidian file-based, or manual mode). Async-first output. Six modes — setup (scaffold a new board for a business), triage (Eisenhower-sort the backlog), next (pick the next thing to work on, single board or across all), status (paste-ready async snapshot), unblock (diagnose Review/Blocked column), weekly (Friday pulse + week planning). Triggers on "/pm," "/pm setup," "/pm triage," "/pm next," "/pm status," "/pm unblock," "/pm weekly," "what should I work on next," "kanban status," "Eisenhower this," "triage my backlog," "what's blocked."

---

name: read-book

description: When you want to read and extract structured notes from a book — PDF, EPUB, MOBI, markdown, .txt, pasted text, or URL to a public-domain work. Reads in chunks (by chapter when a TOC exists, by 50-page blocks otherwise), extracts per-chapter TL;DR + key concepts + quotes + action items + frameworks, and offers to capture to second-brain raw/ as a highlights- file. Four modes — notes (default, chapter-by-chapter), summary (whole-book TL;DR + 3–5 takeaways), quotes (pull-quote highlights only), study (notes + Q&A spaced-rep prep). Triggers on "/read-book," "read this book," "extract notes from this PDF," "what's in this book," "summarize this ebook," "pull quotes from this." Sibling to watch-video (same content-consumption pattern, different medium).

---

name: second-brain

description: When you want to capture into, compile, query, lint, or connect your personal Second Brain. Wraps the Karpathy LLM Wiki schema (Obsidian or any markdown vault) — raw/ (unprocessed sources), wiki/ (AI-compiled interlinked topic pages), outputs/ (generated artifacts). Tool-agnostic in design but defaults to a vault at ${SECOND_BRAIN_VAULT:-$HOME/Documents/SecondBrain}/. Six modes — capture (drop something into raw/), compile (process unprocessed raw files into wiki pages, update INDEX.md), query (answer a question from the wiki, save to outputs/), lint (orphans / contradictions / stale / unprocessed raw / topic gaps), connect (suggest new wikilinks between pages), search (quick lookup). Triggers on "/second-brain," "/sb," "capture this," "save this to my brain," "compile the wiki," "process raw notes," "query my wiki," "ask my brain," "lint the wiki," "find connections," "search my notes." Complements deep-research (external corpus) — this is the internal corpus.

---

name: skillify

description: When you want to create, adapt, or update an Agent Skill (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other hosts) in one of your repos (listed in ~/.config/makerskills/skillify/repos.yaml; defaults to makerskills). Modes — CREATE (from chat, video, dump, or scratch) turns a workflow into a new skill. ADAPT ports an external skill with keep/adapt/add classification, license check, and attribution. UPDATE improves existing skills from learnings with cross-skill propagation, memory-vs-skill triage, and semver. Checks new skills for host portability. Triggers on "/skillify," "create a skill," "make this a skill," "skill from this chat," "adapt this skill," "port this skill," "fork this skill," "update X skill," "apply this to the relevant skills," "propagate this learning," "improve [skill]," "fix [skill]." Part of the -ify trifecta (skillify / toolify / loopify).

---

name: slide-deck

description: When you want to draft, update, convert, or export a slide deck for a React/Next.js slide system (${SLIDE_DECK_REPO:-$HOME/code/your-slide-deck-site}/src/app/slides/). Writes TypeScript Slide[] arrays using your primitives (Eyebrow, Heading, Accent, Body, BulletList, Divider, TwoCol, GradientText), 12 cycling brand gradients, optional sections for "where am I" context, and speaker notes. Inspired by zarazhangrui/frontend-slides — "show, don't tell" for narrative (presents 3 angles, you pick) plus density modes (speaker-led vs reading-first). Four modes — new (draft from brief), update (modify existing, with overflow guards), ppt (convert legacy PPTX → React deck), export (Playwright snapshot existing React deck to standalone HTML, PDF, or Vercel URL — keeps brand). Triggers on "/slide-deck," "/slides new," "/slides export," "/slides update," "/slides ppt," "draft a deck," "deck for [topic]," "talk on [topic]," "keynote on [topic]," "internal deck for [audience]," "convert this pptx," "export this deck."

---

name: social-fetch

description: When you or another skill needs to fetch the content of a social media post by URL — tweet, X thread, LinkedIn post, Instagram post, TikTok video, Bluesky post, Reddit thread, Mastodon status, Threads post, Hacker News thread. Returns normalized structured data (author, posted_at, text, engagement counts, media URLs, replies if requested) regardless of platform. Tries strategies in order: direct API (Bluesky, Mastodon, HN, Reddit), agent-browser with modal dismissal (LinkedIn, X preview), Wayback Machine (older posts), paid APIs (ScrapeCreators / Apify — only if env keys present). Triggers on "/social-fetch <url>," "fetch this tweet," "fetch this post," "what does this LinkedIn say," "read this thread," "pull this post." Used by deep-research (citing specific posts), jab-hook (inspiration account analysis), business-brainstorm (competitor / operator commentary).

---

name: toolify

description: When you want to integrate an external tool, API, MCP server, or service into a project — the wizard walks you through auth, config, env vars, client wrapper code, example usage, and an optional smoke test. Scoped to Next.js and Rails projects. Interactive Q&A — starts with the tool name, asks structured questions until the integration is specified, then scaffolds files. Examples — Stripe, Kit, Sanity, Notion, Neon, Supabase, Resend, Postmark, Twilio, Anthropic, OpenAI, Vercel Blob, custom internal APIs. For MCP servers, also handles the .mcp.json wiring. Triggers on "/toolify," "integrate X," "add X to this project," "wire up X," "set up the X integration," "hook up X," "connect X," "add MCP for X." Part of the -ify trifecta (skillify / toolify / loopify). NOT for adding new SKILL.md files — that's skillify. NOT for cron/agent loops — that's loopify.

---

name: unstuck

description: When a solution seems impossible and the path forward is blocked. Refuses to take no for an answer: classifies what kind of "no" you hit, then runs lateral-thinking techniques (assumption autopsy, inversion, first principles, constraint toggling, analogical transfer, and more) until the wall cracks or is proven load-bearing. Generates at least 10 angles before evaluating any. AGENTS: use this on yourself when an API doesn't support what you need, an approach has failed twice, or a "that's not possible" sentence is forming — run the fast path BEFORE reporting a dead end. Archives walls to ~/.config/makerskills/unstuck/archive/. Sits upstream of decide. Triggers on "/unstuck," "I'm stuck," "this seems impossible," "we hit a wall," "there's no way to," "they said no," "dead end," "out of options," "I've tried everything," "work around this."

---

name: watch-video

description: When you want to extract content from a video — YouTube, Loom, Vimeo, Riverside, Zoom recording, local MP4, X/IG video, anything yt-dlp supports. Three depth modes user picks per invocation — transcript (just words, fast/free), visual (transcript + ffmpeg frame extraction + Claude vision pass on key moments), multimodal (Gemini native video ingestion if $GEMINI_API_KEY set, else dense Claude vision). Uses local Whisper for transcription (MLX-Whisper on Apple Silicon, faster-whisper elsewhere), falls back to platform-provided transcripts when available (Loom, Riverside, YouTube auto-subs). Saves to ~/Documents/videos/<source>-<slug>-<date>/ and optionally captures summary to second-brain raw/ as call-/meeting-/note-. Triggers on "/watch-video <url>," "watch this video," "transcribe this loom," "analyze this video," "summarize this recording," "key moments from this," "what happened in this video." This skill replaces and broadens the prior youtube-transcript skill.

---

name: game-art-direction

description: Direct game art and creative vision. Turn GAME_DESIGN into ART_DIRECTION defining a recognizable visual identity, functional visual and audio feedback, and key in-game moments.

---

name: game-qa

description: Verify a game with evidence on its selected target runtime. Launch the actual build and prove real rendering, input, the core loop, at least one designed outcome, restart, and explicit limitations without dressing subjective fun up as a certain verdict. Use for test a generated game, QA a game build, check whether the game is fully playable, or verify the build. 游戏证据化质量验证。在选定的目标运行环境中启动实际构建，证明真实渲染、输入、核心循环、至少一个设计结果、重开和明确限制，不把主观趣味包装成确定性结论。用于测试生成游戏、检查游戏能否完整游玩或验证构建。

---

name: game-world-design

description: Design game experience, systems, and levels.
