What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Install a packaged skill so an AI agent follows the same project process every time instead of improvising.

USE CASE 2

Browse an interactive picker to find a skill for business, research, or communication work.

USE CASE 3

Add a single skill directly from the catalog using its install command.

USE CASE 4

Build a new custom skill by dropping a SKILL.md file into its own folder.

In plain English

This repository, called Skills, is a collection of ready made instructions that you can hand to an AI agent so it follows a consistent process instead of guessing or making things up each time. The person behind it, Hunter Bohm, built these skills from workflows he uses in his own work: handling projects, making decisions, running a small business, doing research, and communicating clearly. Each skill is a small, self contained package that lives in its own folder and includes a file called SKILL.md describing what it does. You can install skills individually or browse them through an interactive picker. The project ships a command line tool, run with npx, that lets you preview the full list of available skills or add one directly to your own setup. A catalog document lists every skill along with notes on which AI tools or environments it works with, since some skills are built for a specific agent and are marked that way so they do not get used somewhere they were not designed for. The stated goal is to stop AI agents from losing track of what a project actually needs. Instead of giving generic advice, these skills are meant to make an agent read the real material in front of it, adjust to the specific project rather than forcing a one size fits all template, keep track of how confident it should be and where the evidence came from, and end with something usable such as a decision or a concrete next step, not just a pile of extra information. The repository is organized into a skills folder split into categories like business and project management, alongside documentation and supporting scripts. Any folder that contains a SKILL.md file is treated as its own installable package, and the project's automation checks these automatically, so new categories can be added without reorganizing everything else. Hunter Bohm's own contributions are released under the MIT License, a permissive license that allows free use, including commercial use. Any third party names or material referenced inside are credited separately and remain the property of their original owners.
