Productivity
Productivity agent skills automate everyday work: task management, email drafting, calendars, note-taking systems, and personal workflows. Each is a small SKILL.md file your AI agent applies automatically when your request matches what the skill does.
-
jwilger Skill Task ManagementWork decomposition, dependency ordering, and status tracking for software tasks. Provides hierarchical decomposition (features into stories into leaf tasks), Slice-to-Task decomposition (walking skeleton first, then acceptance tests before implementation), GWT acceptance criteria on every task, explicit dependency declarations, estimated scope, and a strict lifecycle (Open/Active/Closed with one-at-a-time active task rule). Use when breaking down features, managing work items, tracking dependencies, creating stories or epics, slicing work for incremental delivery, or deciding what to work on next. Triggers on: "decompose this feature", "create tasks", "what should I work on next", "break this into smaller pieces", "walking skeleton", "slice into tasks", "task dependencies". Works with any task tool.
-
slamb2k Bundle ShipShip changes through the full PR lifecycle. Use after completing feature work to commit, push, create PR, wait for checks, and merge. Handles the entire workflow: syncs with main, creates feature branch if needed, groups commits logically with semantic messages, creates detailed PR, monitors CI, fixes issues, squash merges, and cleans up. Invoke when work is ready to ship.
-
slamb2k Bundle BraceInitialize any project directory with a standard scaffold for AI-assisted development. Creates specs/ and context/ directories, a project CLAUDE.md with development workflow and guardrails, .gitignore, and branch protection. Idempotent — safe to run on existing projects. Triggers: "init project", "setup brace", "brace", "initialize", "bootstrap", "scaffold".

nikiforovall Skill Adr PlanAnalyze a task and produce an Architecture Decision Record with implementation steps.
-
slamb2k Bundle FerryFerry a session's live state across a context reset — persist a waybill document and signal the next fresh session to resume from it. Use when the user types /ferry, says they want to hand off, checkpoint, wrap up, clear context, or start fresh while preserving state, or asks to carry work into a new session with clean optimised context. Captures everything a brand-new session needs — task, status, next steps, key files, decisions, gotchas, git state — writes it to disk as waybill.md, arms a one-shot signal, and tells the user to /clear so the next session auto-loads it.
-
dkm0315 Skill Frappe PaymentsFrappe Payments and ERPNext payment workflow guidance for payment gateways, payment requests, subscriptions, invoices, reconciliation, webhooks, and secure checkout flows. Use when work touches payments in Frappe or ERPNext.
-
nikiforovall Bundle Structured Plan ModeThis skill should be used when planning and tracking complex feature implementations that require systematic task decomposition. Use this skill to break down large features into manageable, well-documented tasks with clear dependencies, action items, and success criteria. The skill provides a structured template and methodology for iterative planning and tracking throughout implementation.
-
boom5426 Skill Paper WorkflowEntry point for any manuscript request that does not name a specific skill. Load this FIRST whenever the ask is general, then run the chain it prescribes. Covers optimize my paper, improve the manuscript, polish this draft, make this better, clean it up, help with my paper, review my writing, get this ready to submit, work on the paper, make it more direct, less defensive, cut the hedging, too many caveats, and the Chinese equivalents 优化论文, 改论文, 润色论文, 帮我看看论文, 论文写作, 学术写作, 把论文弄好, 论文修改, 投稿前检查, 防御性写作, 太多免责, 写得太怂, 太啰嗦, 让语气更肯定. Also decides which skill applies and how to sequence manuscript work from project setup through submission and rebuttal, including the separate path for a Review, survey, or Perspective. A general manuscript request is never served well by one skill alone; this file decides which chain to run.
-
pproenca Skill Defense In DepthUse when invalid data causes failures deep in execution, bypassing initial checks - adds validation at entry, business logic, and environment layers to make bugs structurally impossible
-
pproenca Skill Git WorktreesUse when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification
-
pproenca Skill Writing PlansUse when design is complete and you need detailed implementation tasks for engineers with zero codebase context - creates comprehensive implementation plans with exact file paths, complete code examples, and verification steps assuming engineer has minimal domain knowledge
-
pproenca Skill Executing PlansUse when partner provides a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints - loads plan, reviews critically, executes tasks in batches, reports for review between batches
-
pproenca Skill Parallel AgentsUse when facing 3+ independent failures that can be investigated without shared state or dependencies - dispatches multiple Claude agents to investigate and fix independent problems concurrently
-
vfarcic Skill Dot AI Changelog FragmentCreate changelog fragment for release notes. Invoke during /prd-done workflow during the first push to the PR.
-
skenetechnologies Skill Trial OptimizationWhen the user wants to optimize free trial conversion -- including trial length, trial type selection, expiry flows, or trial email sequences. Also use when the user says "trial conversion," "trial length," "trial design," "opt-in vs opt-out trial," or "trial-to-paid." For activation, see activation-metrics. For feature gating, see feature-gating.
-
britt Skill Working On An IssueUse when asked to work on, read, or implement a GitHub issue - hands-off workflow (understand, scoped recon, verification plan, implementation plan, implement, verify, PR) with no mid-flow approval gates; assumptions are documented in the plan and PR, and developer review happens on the pull request
-
britt Skill Prepare Meeting AgendaUse when preparing an agenda for sprint planning, a retrospective, standup or sync, or a project check-in - gathers context from recent issues, PRs, and notes, groups topics, assigns owners and time boxes, and outputs a structured agenda

-
borkweb Skill Auto ScopeScopes a coding task before implementation — names the handful of files actually relevant (read/edit these), the areas to leave alone, and any open scope questions, so work doesn't start by reading the whole repo. Fires proactively at the start of substantive, multi-file, or unfamiliar-area work; stays silent on single-file edits, one-line fixes, questions, and continued work in an area already scoped this session. Use when beginning a feature, bug fix, or refactor that could plausibly touch several files or an area not yet seen this session.
-
henkisdabro Bundle Timezone ToolsGet current time in any timezone and convert times between timezones.

Supports IANA timezone names. Do NOT use for date arithmetic (adding days/months), recurring event scheduling, business-day calculations, or full calendar/booking logic - those need a dedicated date library or scheduling tool.
