What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Install a skill that shortens an AI agent's replies while keeping code and commands exact.

USE CASE 2

Get calibrated critique on a plan before committing to it.

USE CASE 3

Turn coding tasks into a reviewed workflow that moves through inbox, active, and archive.

USE CASE 4

Catch an AI agent losing track of earlier instructions during a long session.

In plain English

This repository contains seven personal skills for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and others. Each skill is a set of instructions that changes how the agent behaves in a specific situation. You install them with a single command and pick which ones you want active. The seven skills are: Caveman, which makes the agent reply in compressed, low-filler language while preserving technical accuracy, Interface Kit, which provides concrete guidelines for building accessible, well-designed user interfaces rather than generic AI-generated ones, Grill Me, which probes your plan with calibrated questions that match your knowledge level before escalating to harder critique, Loop Factory, which sets up a repeatable task workflow where work moves from inbox to active to archive and must pass a review step before it counts as done, Junior to Senior, which treats the agent's latest output as junior-level work and rewrites it after researching the codebase and current best practices, the de-slop pass, which scans text for common AI writing patterns (puffery, em-dash overuse, formulaic sentence rhythms) and rewrites until those patterns are gone, and Context Canary, which places a small signal in each response so you can detect the moment a long session causes the agent to lose its grip on earlier instructions. Each skill is documented with a description, a list of situations to use it, and installation instructions. The install command lets you pick individual skills rather than taking all seven at once. The repository is part of a broader set of tools the author has built around the idea that AI agents should be terse when speaking, precise when building, and disciplined when running multi-step tasks.

Copy-paste prompts
