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.
-
apecloud Skill Kubeblocks Observability RouterPrimary observability entry for KubeBlocks-managed databases. Use this when the user broadly asks for monitoring or observability and you need to choose between integrating with an existing stack, bootstrapping a new stack, or declaring the current readiness level. The legacy kubeblocks-setup-monitoring skill remains only as a compatibility shim.
-
apecloud Skill Kubeblocks Minor Version UpgradeLegacy compatibility shim for engine upgrade workflows. The primary Day-2 entry is kubeblocks-op-upgrade. Keep this skill callable for older references, but do not recommend it as the main path for cold-start agents.
-
apecloud Bundle Kubeblocks Reconfigure ParametersLegacy compatibility shim for parameter reconfiguration. The primary Day-2 entry is kubeblocks-op-reconfigure. Keep this skill callable for older references, but do not recommend it as the main path for cold-start agents.
-
apecloud Skill Kubeblocks Observability Existing StackIntegrate KubeBlocks database metrics into an existing Prometheus / Grafana stack. Use this when the monitoring base already exists and the remaining work is scrape configuration, dashboards, and alerting readiness.
-
nodejsmith Bundle Mine Review PrUse when the user says: "review this PR", "review PR <number>", "review someone else's PR", "review the PR for <branch>", "review their branch". Reviews another developer's open PR read-only — dispatches the standard reviewer trio, verifies findings against the current PR head, the real code, the PR description, and existing threads before presenting them, and optionally posts them as PR comment threads. Never edits code.
-
nodejsmith Skill Mine Tool GapsUse when the user says: "find tool gaps", "session archaeology", or "missing cli features". Mines session history for recurring patterns that should be scripts or CLI tools.
-
nodejsmith Skill Mine Visual QAUse when the user says: "visual QA", "screenshot review", "review the UI visually", "take screenshots and find issues", or "UX review". Screenshots a live app via Playwright, then analysis agents review the captures — first impressions, cross-page consistency, and unstructured design narrative.
-
nodejsmith Bundle CLI ClarifyUse when the user says: "fix CLI messages", "improve CLI help text", "CLI error messages", "CLI UX writing", "confusing CLI output". Improve the clarity of CLI tool communication — errors, help text, prompts, and status messages.
-
nodejsmith Bundle CLI DistillUse when the user says: "simplify this CLI", "too many flags", "CLI too complex", "reduce CLI complexity", "streamline CLI". Simplify CLI tools — reduce flags, improve defaults, lower cognitive load per invocation.
-
nodejsmith Skill Mine Commit PushUse when the user says: "commit and push". Commits and pushes changes to the current branch.
-
nodejsmith Bundle Mine Write SkillUse when the user says: "create a skill", "write a skill", "new skill", or wants to author a new SKILL.md. Guided skill creation following Claudefiles conventions.
-
nodejsmith Bundle Mine Create IssueUse when the user says: 'create an issue', 'file an issue', 'open an issue', 'write an issue', 'new issue for this'. Codebase-aware issue creation — investigates the code to produce well-structured issues with acceptance criteria, affected areas, and enough detail for automated triage.
-
nodejsmith Skill I AdaptUse when the user says: "responsive design", "make it mobile-friendly", "adapt for mobile". Make interfaces work across screen sizes with responsive design.
-
nodejsmith Skill Mine Mutation TestUse when the user says: "mutation test", "do my tests actually catch bugs", or wants to verify test quality. Intentionally breaks code to check if tests catch real bugs. No framework needed.
-
nodejsmith Bundle CLI AffordancesUse when the user says: "improve CLI discoverability", "CLI help UX", "CLI flag design", "CLI affordances", "CLI command structure". Review CLI tool discoverability — flag design, subcommand structure, help quality, and progressive disclosure.
-
nodejsmith Skill I BolderUse when the user says: "make it bolder", "more distinctive", "too generic". Make designs more distinctive and visually striking.
-
nodejsmith Skill I HardenUse when the user says: "production hardening", "handle edge cases in UI", "make it resilient", "improve onboarding", "empty states", "first-run experience". Improve interface resilience, error states, onboarding flows, and edge cases.

-
agile-v Skill Safety EngineerEstablishes a tailored safety lifecycle from hazards through operational feedback and assurance evidence. Use when a system can create unacceptable harm.
-
agile-v Skill Logic GatekeeperValidates requirements for ambiguity and physical hardware constraints. Use this after requirements are generated but before code/hardware synthesis begins.
-
agile-v Skill Agile V LifecycleMulti-cycle iteration management, document versioning, change requests, re-entry points, archival, and impact analysis. Load when starting a new cycle (C2+), processing change requests, or managing cross-cycle traceability.
-
agile-v Bundle C Suite FoundationCore abstractions, protocols, and patterns shared across all C-Suite orchestrator skills. Load this before any C-Suite skill to provide governance primitives, executive gate protocols, and multi-cycle patterns.
