LABSCO SUMMARY
The author's own README sorts the 43 into ten categories, and the split is real: documentation and diagramming is the largest group (backend-to-frontend-handoff-docs, c4-architecture, crafting-effective-readmes, draw-io, excalidraw, frontend-to-backend-requirements, marp-slide, mermaid-diagrams, and writing-clearly-and-concisely), followed by everyday development work (database-schema-designer, dependency-updater, naming-analyzer, lesson-learned, reducing-entropy, session-handoff) and design/frontend skills (design-system-starter, mui, openapi-to-typescript, react-dev, react-useeffect). Smaller groups cover planning (game-changing-features, gepetto, requirements-clarity, ship-learn-next), workplace communication (daily-meeting-update, difficult-workplace-conversations, feedback-mastery, professional-communication), three CLI wrappers for other AI tools (codex, gemini, perplexity), and four meta-skills for building Claude Code plugins and commands themselves (agent-md-refactor, command-creator, plugin-forge, skill-judge). What's left is a genuine grab bag: one QA planner, one git-commit skill, and a utilities set running from a Datadog log/metrics CLI to a meme generator built on memegen.link.
There's no single reader this package is "for" — it's for whoever wants the specific skill they came for, not for installing the set. Thirty of the 43 run with nothing beyond the code already in front of you; ten assume some local CLI is already installed (the codex, gemini, and draw.io binaries among them); jira and perplexity go through an MCP server; and datadog-cli is the one that needs an account key on file.
READ THE FULL ANALYSIS
Read the individual skill before trusting it. Several entries make claims we can't verify from the material we have — humanizer credits its rule set to Wikipedia's own "Signs of AI writing" guide and to a separate open-source skill by a named third-party author it was forked from, and game-changing-features and gepetto both promise structured multi-step interviews whose actual output quality depends entirely on how the conversation goes, not on anything checkable in the SKILL.md text itself.

43 of 43
SETUP
Showing all 43 skills
agent-md-refactor
The instructions file an AI coding assistant reads has grown into a wall of text; this splits it into a short main page that links out to one note per topic.
backend-to-frontend-handoff-docs
A feature's server-side work is finished and the people building the screens now need to know how to use it; this writes that document for them, saved in the repo and detailed enough that nobody has to interrupt you.
c4-architecture
Architecture diagrams usually live in a slide deck nobody updates; these are drawn from the codebase itself and saved as text files next to it, so they can be changed like code.
codex
Hands a job over to OpenAI's Codex tool — reviewing a codebase, reworking it, or making the edits itself — with the freedom it is given matched to how risky the job is.
command-creator
Turns something you keep asking your coding assistant to do into a named shortcut you can run in one word, kept either with the project or across everything you work on.
commit-work
Committing a day's work in one lump leaves a change nobody can review; this goes through the edits, decides where the boundaries are, and puts each group in on its own with a message that explains it.
crafting-effective-readmes
The front page of a code project — what it is, how to get it running — written for whoever actually opens it: a stranger on the internet, a new teammate, or yourself in six months.
daily-meeting-update
Nobody remembers what they did yesterday: this interviews you, offers to go through yesterday's actual activity first to jog your memory, and writes up the update the morning meeting expects.
database-schema-designer
Say what the software has to keep track of — customers, orders, whatever it is — and get the database design back: the tables, how they connect, and what keeps them quick to search.
datadog-cli
Datadog keeps a record of everything running software does; this searches that record from your terminal — the errors, the numbers, the trail one failing request left — while you are working out what broke.
dependency-updater
The outside libraries a project leans on fall behind and start carrying known security holes; this works out what the project is built in, moves it forward as far as is safe, and untangles the installs that break.
design-system-starter
Sets the shared rules a product's interface is built from — its colours, its type, its spacing, how the pieces stack up and what it takes to stay usable for everyone — so every screen looks like the same product.
difficult-workplace-conversations
Walks you through one hard talk at work from both ends: working out what you actually want and whether you are calm enough to say it, then what to do in the days afterwards so the problem does not come back.
domain-name-brainstormer
Naming a new project usually means hours of guessing and typing names into a registrar; this comes up with the candidates and checks which are still free in the same pass.
draw-io
Builds and tidies draw.io diagrams — arrows that land where they should, even spacing, the right cloud icons — and exports the finished thing as an image.
excalidraw
Excalidraw drawings are enormous files of raw data, so a separate helper opens them instead of your main session: you say what should change, and the diagram comes back edited.
feedback-mastery
How to handle the conversation at work you have been putting off — telling someone their work is slipping, or sorting out a clash between two people.
frontend-to-backend-requirements
Heads off the back-and-forth where a screen gets built against data that does not exist yet, by writing down what it needs first, in plain terms.
game-changing-features
A brainstorming session with one rule: not what to fix next, but what would make this product ten times more worth using.
gemini
Hands your code or your written plan to Google's Gemini for a second opinion, which helps most when there is more material than one sitting can cover.
gepetto
Does the homework that usually gets skipped before a software feature is built — what already exists, what you actually want, and where the plan falls down.
humanizer
Rewrites text that reads like a chatbot wrote it — flat, over-polished, every sentence the same length — into something with an opinion, a rhythm and a person behind it.
jira
Jira tickets managed in plain language — look one up, raise a new one, move it to the next stage — over whichever Jira connection your machine already has.
lesson-learned
Looks at the code you just wrote and names the one thing it taught you — a mirror held up to your own work, not a lecture on best practices.
marp-slide
Builds a slide deck out of plain text in one of seven ready-made visual styles — you write the words, the design is already decided.
meme-factory
Makes a meme from one of a hundred-plus familiar picture templates and your own two lines of text, and hands back a link to the finished image.
mermaid-diagrams
Draw a diagram by typing it out rather than dragging shapes around, so the picture lives alongside the code and gets edited the same way.
mui
Building a React interface with Material UI version 7 — which components to use, how its built-in styling works, and what version 7 changed from version 6.
naming-analyzer
Programmers name everything in their code, and a bad name quietly misleads whoever reads it next; this goes through those names and says which ones are wrong and what to call them instead.
openapi-to-typescript
Reads the file that describes a web service and writes out the matching TypeScript code, so nobody hand-copies every field name into their own types.
perplexity
Searches the live web through Perplexity — either a short list of links worth reading, or a written answer built from what is online right now.
plugin-forge
Sets up a new add-on for Claude Code so the folders, the settings files and the listing all line up the way the tool expects.
professional-communication
Workplace writing that actually lands — an email, a chat message, a status update, a meeting agenda — each one shaped for the person who has to read it and act on it.
qa-test-planner
Writes the paperwork of software testing — what gets tested, in what order, and what to file when something breaks.
react-dev
Writing React screens in TypeScript so the mistakes show up while you type rather than after the page is live.
react-useeffect
React's own advice about the useEffect hook, which is mostly about the times you should not reach for it and what to write instead.
reducing-entropy
One rule applied to every change: is there less code in the end than there was before? Effort spent does not count, only what is left behind.
requirements-clarity
Asks the questions a vague feature request leaves unanswered — what exactly, for whom, and what happens when it goes wrong — until there is enough to write it down properly.
session-handoff
A written handover for whoever picks the work up next — where things stand, what was decided and why, and what to do first.
ship-learn-next
Turns a video or article you have just taken in into the first small thing you will actually make this week, and the few that follow it.
skill-judge
Marks a skill's instruction file the way an examiner marks a paper — eight scores, a letter grade from A to F, and the three changes worth making first.
web-to-markdown
Saves a web page as a plain text file with just the article in it, no menus or ads, including pages that only appear once a real browser has run them.
writing-clearly-and-concisely
The plain rules of good writing — say it straight, in the fewest words that still carry it — applied to anything you have written for a person to read, from an error message to a report.
No skill in this package matches that.
