Custom Agent Skills Collection

Custom skills for AI agents that provide specialized domain knowledge and structured methodologies.

How to Use

These skills are designed to be automatically used by an AI agent when a user asks for help with a task covered by one of the skills.

Installation

1. Clone or download skills folder and its contents. Optionally also grab skills-compact/ — compact (minified) variants of some skills for token-economical use.
2. Add skills from the skills folder (or, for a compact skill, from skills-compact/ instead)
   • globally to ~/.agents/skills
   • or to your IDE / CLI Code tool:
     • Cursor: ~/.cursor/skills
     • Cloude Code: ~/.claude/skills/
     • Other IDE or AI agent: check documentation on where skills are located
   • or to a specific project:
     • /.agents/skills
3. [Re}start an AI-agent to use the skill during task execution.

Usage

Example workflow — Business Analysis:

• User: “We’re kicking off a payments feature — help me pin down stakeholders and requirements”
• AI: Loads dpf-business-analysis/SKILL.md from skills and applies its requirements lifecycle patterns
• AI identifies stakeholders, elicits and specifies requirements, surfaces ambiguities, and builds a traceable, prioritized baseline

Example workflow — Crafting a skill:

• User: “I keep pasting the same release-checklist instructions to my agent — turn that into a skill”
• AI: Loads agent-skill-builder/SKILL.md from skills and applies its authoring patterns
• AI checks that a skill is the right layer (vs AGENTS.md/MCP), designs the trigger description, progressive disclosure, and produces a validated SKILL.md + references/

The skills transform the AI into a specialized assistant that follows proven methodologies rather than ad-hoc responses.
