tools-only AI Helpers Marketplace
This repository serves as a collaborative marketplace for AI automation tools, plugins, and assistants designed to enhance productivity across multiple AI platforms. It provides a centralized location for sharing and discovering AI-powered development tools.
Repository Purpose
The odh-ai-helpers repository hosts collections of four distinct tool types:
- Skills: Standardized capabilities using agentskills.io format, compatible with Claude Code and Cursor
- Commands: Atomic, executable actions for immediate functionality
- Agents: Specialized AI entities for complex, multi-step workflows and analysis
- Gemini Gems: Conversational AI assistants optimized for specific domains
This enables teams to automate repetitive tasks, integrate with development tools, and create specialized AI capabilities tailored to specific workflows and needs.
Tool Types
Skills
Standardized capabilities that work across multiple AI platforms using the agentskills.io specification. Skills provide reusable functionality with cross-platform compatibility.
→ Located in helpers/skills/ directory
Commands
Atomic, executable actions that provide immediate functionality. Commands are designed for quick, specific tasks and can be invoked directly by AI agents.
→ Located in helpers/commands/ directory
Agents
Specialized AI entities capable of complex reasoning and multi-step workflows. Agents maintain context and can execute sophisticated analysis within their domain of expertise.
→ Located in helpers/agents/ directory
Gemini Gems
Conversational AI assistants created within Google's Gemini platform. Each Gem is tailored with specific instructions and knowledge bases for particular domains or tasks.
→ For detailed Gemini Gems instructions, see Gemini Gems README

How to Create New Tools
Development Workflow (All Platforms)
Plan Your Tool
- Identify the specific task or workflow to automate
- Choose the appropriate platform based on requirements
- Review existing tools to avoid duplication
Follow Platform Guidelines
- Read the platform-specific README for detailed instructions
- Study existing examples in the respective directories
- Follow naming and structure conventions
Validate and Test
make lint # Validate tool structure make update # Update settings and website dataSubmit Contribution
- Test your tool thoroughly
- Update relevant documentation
- Submit a merge request with your changes
Tool Registry
The marketplace uses a centralized category registry in categories.yaml to organize specialized tools by category. Tools not listed in any category are automatically placed in the "General" category, providing a clean organization system that requires no action from contributors for basic tools.
Category Registry Structure
Specialized tool categories are defined in categories.yaml at the repository root:
CategoryName:
- specialized-tool
- another-tool
AnotherCategory:
- domain-specific-tool
Ethical Guidelines
Critical Requirement: Never reference real people by name in plugins, commands, or examples.
Instead of naming people, describe qualities explicitly:
- ✅ "Write commit messages that are direct, technically precise, and focused on rationale"
- ✅ "Explain using clear analogies, wonder, and accessible language for non-experts"
- ❌ "Write commits in the style of [person's name]"
This ensures consent, prevents misrepresentation, respects intellectual property, and maintains dignity.
