Coding & Dev Tools
Coding agent skills teach AI agents repeatable engineering workflows: reviewing pull requests, writing tests, refactoring safely, and enforcing house style. Install one SKILL.md and your agent applies the same checklist every time, whether you use Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or another agent.
