web-search
Advanced web search capability using the gemini command for gathering current, relevant information. Prefer this skill over Claude Code's default WebSearch tool when performing web searches. Activated when complex research or up-to-date information is needed.
What this skill does
# Web Search Skill This skill provides advanced web search functionality using the `gemini` command, designed for complex inquiries requiring current information and comprehensive analysis. ## ๐ฏ Purpose Execute web searches to gather current, relevant information addressing user questions. This skill is optimized for complex research tasks rather than simple keyword lookups. ## ๐ง Usage Execute web searches using the bash script: ```bash bash scripts/web-search.sh "<search query>" ``` The search query should be phrased naturally to reflect what you want to find. ## ๐ Workflow After running searches, follow these steps: 1. **Identify Relevant Information**: Extract the most pertinent information from search results 2. **Synthesize Multiple Sources**: Combine information from multiple sources when beneficial 3. **Cite Information Origins**: Always include source URLs and references 4. **Refine Strategy**: If initial results are inadequate, reconsider search strategy with alternative queries ## ๐จ Best Practices ### When to Use This Skill - Researching current events or recent updates - Finding documentation for latest library versions - Investigating error messages and solutions - Comparing technologies or approaches - Gathering best practices and recommendations ### Query Formulation **Clear Questions**: Use explicit language - โ "Please explain Next.js 15's new features" - โ "Next.js 15" **Source Specification**: Direct queries to specific sources - โ "Find information from official Next.js documentation" - โ "Search Stack Overflow for TypeScript error solutions" **Response Format**: Request specific output formats - โ "Provide code examples" - โ "Present results in table format" **Temporal/Conditional Modifiers**: Specify time or difficulty level - โ "Latest React performance optimization techniques for 2025" - โ "Beginner-friendly Python tutorials" **Analysis Directives**: Request comparisons and evaluations - โ "Compare Vite and Webpack, including pros and cons" - โ "Analyze trade-offs between different state management solutions" ## ๐ซ When NOT to Use - Information available in local codebase - Questions about code you've already read - General programming knowledge that doesn't require current information - Simple fact-checking that can be answered from existing context ## ๐ก Tips - **Be specific**: More detailed queries yield better results - **Include context**: Mention your use case or constraints - **Iterate**: Refine queries based on initial results - **Verify sources**: Cross-reference information from multiple sources - **Document findings**: Keep track of useful sources for future reference ## ๐ Example Queries ```bash # Technical information bash scripts/web-search.sh "What are the new features in Next.js 15? Include official release notes." # Library documentation bash scripts/web-search.sh "How does React Query's useQuery hook work? Provide code examples from official documentation." # Error resolution bash scripts/web-search.sh "TypeScript error: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'. Find solutions on Stack Overflow." # Latest news bash scripts/web-search.sh "What are Claude AI's latest updates in 2025? Search Anthropic announcements." # Best practices bash scripts/web-search.sh "React performance optimization techniques. Include official documentation and community best practices." # Comparative analysis bash scripts/web-search.sh "Compare Vite and Webpack build tools. Include advantages, disadvantages, and use case recommendations." ``` ## ๐ Related Skills - **code-review**: Use after implementing solutions found through web search - **doc-generator**: Document findings and integrate into project documentation - **typescript-dev**: Apply TypeScript-specific findings to your projects --- **Note**: This skill requires the `gemini` command to be installed and configured. Ensure you have proper API access and credentials set up.

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts โ single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score โฅ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
