What Are Skills?

Skills are instructions that teach AI agents how to handle specific tasks. After installation, your AI assistant automatically knows:

  • How to resolve merge conflicts systematically (not just "fix it somehow")
  • How to safely run database migrations (backup first, check existing data)
  • How to design multi-agent systems (patterns that actually work)
  • When to ask for confirmation before destructive operations

No special commands needed — skills activate automatically based on what you're doing.

How Skills Work

Skills activate automatically based on what you're doing:

You Say Skill Activates What Happens
"I have a merge conflict" merge-conflict-surgeon Systematic conflict resolution workflow
"Run the database migration" migration-safety Checks existing data, creates backup, asks confirmation
"Delete all the old log files" file-operation-safety Shows what will be deleted, asks for explicit confirmation
"Help me design a multi-agent system" agent-supervisor-pattern Provides architecture patterns and code templates
"Why is this API so expensive?" token-cost-analyzer Analyzes token usage with current pricing
"Build a RAG system" hybrid-retrieval Vector + keyword search with reranking
"My RAG gives wrong answers" corrective-rag Self-healing RAG with document grading
"Implement GraphRAG" graphrag-patterns Knowledge graph integration for multi-hop reasoning
"Is this code secure?" secure-code-review Security-focused code review methodology
"Check for SQL injection" injection-prevention SQL injection detection and prevention

No special commands needed — just describe what you're doing.

Security & Trust

MCP Server Security

Plugins include optional MCP (Model Context Protocol) configurations. Before enabling:

  • Review credentials: Only connect tools you trust
  • Use environment variables: Never commit API keys to version control
  • Test environments: Be careful with production credentials
  • Audit configs: Review .mcp.json files before copying

All MCP integrations are marked optional: true — only enable what you need.

Data Privacy

  • Skills run locally — no data sent to external servers
  • MCP servers connect only to services you configure
  • No telemetry or tracking in this repository
