  • Academic Plotting

    Publication-quality figures for ML papers: picks the chart type for your results, writes the matplotlib or seaborn code and checks its colors for contrast. Use it to compare methods, baselines or ablations in a chart, to check whether text and figure colors meet a contrast ratio, or to plan an architecture diagram from your method section.

  • Animate (Emil Kowalski)

    Builds an animation from scratch the way a design engineer would: it chooses the curve, duration and properties, keeps motion off the main thread where it matters, and explains the choice.

  • Apple Design (Emil Kowalski)

    Translates Apple's interface and motion principles into web code: spring curves, gesture physics, translucent materials and typography, as explained in Apple's WWDC design sessions.

  • Brag

    Turn the project you just built into a short, shareable launch video with one command. Your agent reads the project code, so no live URL or screenshots are needed.

  • Emil Kowalski: design engineering

    Emil Kowalski's design-engineering philosophy as a skill: animation decisions (curves, durations, which properties to animate and which not to), component polish and the invisible details that make software feel right.

  • fframes Video

    Create, animate, review and render videos in code with fframes: Rust, SVG scenes and GPU rendering. Covers setup, motion design, sound, a live preview window and automatic checks without watching the render.

  • Grill Me

    Makes the agent interview you about a plan or design, one question at a time with a recommended answer attached, until every branch of the decision tree is resolved and you both share the same understanding.

    MIT license

    DevelopmentFree
  • Handoff

    Compacts a long conversation into a handoff document another agent (or a fresh session) can continue from: the goal, decisions made, current state, open questions and the exact next step.

  • I Have ADHD

    Stops the agent from burying the answer. Ten output rules: lead with the next action, number multi-step work, end with one concrete next step, suppress tangents, restate state each turn, give time estimates in minutes, make wins visible, report errors matter-of-factly, cap lists at five, and no prea

  • MCP Builder

    Anthropic's skill for building MCP servers: it walks the agent through tool design, schemas, transports and testing so the server it generates follows the Model Context Protocol correctly and works in Claude Code, Cursor and Codex.

    General-purpose browser automation for coding agents: the agent writes and runs custom Playwright scripts on the fly, from a single page check to a multi-step flow, with a visible browser by default so you can watch it.

    MIT license

    Testing & QAFree
  • Ponytail

    The lazy senior developer ruleset: before writing code the agent climbs a decision ladder (is it needed, does something reusable exist, is there a built-in) and only then writes the minimum.

    MIT license

  • Pro Preview

    Included with SkillGild Pro. Checks the colors in your charts, slides or interface against WCAG contrast ratios with SkillGild's palette validator, and suggests passing alternatives. More premium skills will be added as they launch.

  • Skill Creator

    Anthropic's skill for writing skills: it scaffolds a SKILL.md with correct frontmatter, asks the right questions about triggers and scope, adds scripts and references, and reviews the result against the Agent Skills spec.

    Apache-2.0 license

  • Stop Slop

    A skill file that teaches the model to recognise and remove its own writing tells: throat-clearing openers, 'not X but Y' contrasts, dramatic fragments, emphasis crutches, business jargon and padded adverbs.

  • TDD (Matt Pocock)

    A model-invoked red-green-refactor loop: the agent writes a failing test first, makes it pass with the smallest change, then refactors, and refuses to skip steps.

    MIT license

    DevelopmentFree
  • Vernier

    Interactive isometric line illustrations that answer the pointer, touch, the keyboard and live data. Your agent designs the instrument; the engine handles input, themes and accessibility, and it ships as a React component, a web component and a preview page.

    DesignPro
  • Video Illustrator

    Turn your own narration and real assets (book covers, screenshots, logos) plus a chosen visual style into a 20 to 60 second cinematic promo, or turn a script into an animated illustration clip.
