When building applications with AI coding agents (such as Google Antigravity, Google Jules CLI, Claude Code, or Cursor), standard prompts frequently suffer from context drift, forgotten pre-commit checks, fragmented branch management, and conversational filler.
This repository provides 18 modular, tested agent skills following the open SKILL.md specification. Each skill defines:
- Trigger Semantics: YAML frontmatter describing precise activation conditions.
- Explicit Safety Directives: Alerts (
[!IMPORTANT],[!WARNING]) enforcing non-negotiable boundaries. - Deterministic Runbooks: Shell-verified commands and code recipes.
- Autonomous Convergence: Self-verification tests and linters for independent execution.
All skills are maintained centrally in this repository (Hub). Downstream development projects (Spokes) can pull skills or push newly authored skills back to the hub using the portable skills-sync engine.

The skills-sync tool provides an interface for managing skills across any local repository:
# Pull latest skills from upstream hub into .agents/skills/
skills-sync pull
# List installed skills with descriptions
skills-sync list
# Scaffold a new skill template
skills-sync new database-auto-sync
# Validate all SKILL.md files for schema compliance
skills-sync validate
# Push a new skill back to the central hub
skills-sync push database-auto-sync
# Bidirectional sync (pull updates, push new local skills)
skills-sync syncTo make any project automatically push new or modified skills back to MishraShardendu22/agent-skills, add .github/workflows/sync-skills-upstream.yml to your downstream repository:
name: Sync Skills Upstream
on:
push:
branches: [ main ]
paths: [ '.agents/skills/**', 'skills/**' ]
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
sync:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Push Skills Upstream
env:
AGENT_SKILLS_REPO: "MishraShardendu22/agent-skills"
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SKILLS_SYNC_TOKEN || secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
run: |
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MishraShardendu22/agent-skills/main/scripts/skills-sync.sh | bash -s -- pushTo author a new skill:
- Run
skills-sync new <skill-name> - Follow the standard template structure:
--- name: my-new-skill description: >- When to use this skill and what high-level workflows it accomplishes. --- # My New Skill Title ## 1. Overview ... ## 2. Core Directives & Rules ... ## 3. Step-by-Step Procedure ...
- Run
skills-sync validateto check syntax. - Run
skills-sync push my-new-skillto contribute it back.
Contributions are welcomed. Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for details on code of conduct, skill validation requirements, and pull request process.
