tsa-landing

by aimasteracc
star 36

Land in a new (or familiar) codebase using the tree-sitter-analyzer MCP server. One workflow → 6 decision surfaces (project_card / entry_points / recent_signals / health / top_files / agent_next_step) → ≤2k tokens, ≤3 MCP calls. Use when: - First time entering an unfamiliar repository - Returning to a repo after >1 week - User asks "what is this project?" / "where do I start?" Workflow: parallel-fan-out 3-4 MCP tools, fold output, return decision_surface. Replaces the typical 15k-token bootstrap (read README + ls -R + git log + AGENTS).

tsa-pr-review

by aimasteracc
star 36

AST-grounded PR / diff review. One workflow → per-file risk ranking, blast radius per changed symbol, the exact pytest command to gate merge, any architecture-constraint violations, and a final BLOCK / REVIEW / APPROVE verdict — in ~1–2k tokens and 4–6 MCP calls. Goes beyond a generic LLM diff-read because only TSA's `analyze_change_impact` returns a deterministic `verification_command` + `queue_ledger`, and only the persisted call graph can enumerate true callers/callees of changed symbols. (Per `docs/internal/COMPETITOR_HEAD_TO_HEAD_2026-05-23.md`: CodeGraphContext silently indexes 0 files, grep-ast crashes on Python 3.14, wrale miscounts imports. A pure-LLM diff reader has none of these guard-rails — it cannot reach the AST cache to enumerate callers, cannot consult `architectural-constraints.yml`, and invents a pytest command instead of reading the one TSA computed.) Use when: - Reviewing a local diff (`git diff`, staged, branch-vs-main) - Reviewing a GitHub PR URL - User asks "is this PR safe to merge?

tsa-graph

by aimasteracc
star 36

Code archaeology via call graph + symbol resolution. Answer "who calls X", "what does Y call", "where is Z defined", "what's the path from A to B" in one MCP call instead of multi-step grep + read. Uses persisted cross-file resolution (Synapse) so cross-module edges are precise, not regex-guessed. Use when: - User asks "what calls this function" / "what does this function call" - Tracing a bug through layers (impact → caller chain) - Planning refactor of a function/class (need full fanout) - "Where is this symbol defined" / "find all references to X" - "Show me the path from handler → DB" - "Draw a UML class/package/component/sequence diagram" Replaces: grep + read + manual chain-following (~10-30k tokens) with 2-4 MCP calls (~1-3k tokens).

tsa-temporal

by aimasteracc
star 36

Find "hot zones" — symbols modified often in recent git history that need extra review attention. Adds temporal context (mod_count_30d / 90d / all) to call-graph queries. Like Hebbian "fire-together-wire-together" but for code: functions that change together often deserve scrutiny together. Use when: - User asks "what's churning the most" / "any hot zones?" - Pre-refactor: "what's the history of this function?" - Code review: "is this file getting hammered?" - You see a verdict=CAUTION with "hot zone" in risk_factors Replaces: `git log --follow --stat` + manual counting per-symbol (~10k tokens for non-trivial files) with 1 MCP call (~500 tokens).

tsa-structure

by aimasteracc
star 36

Structural analysis of one file — classes, methods, exports, common patterns, semantic classification of a diff. Returns the file's *shape* without reading the file body. Use when: - "What classes and methods does X file have" - "Show me a table / outline of <file>" - "Run query: find all decorated functions in file X" - "Is this diff a refactor or a behavior change" (semantic classification) - "Find patterns like singleton / factory in this code" Replaces: reading the whole file (~20k tokens for big files) with structural views (200-1000 tokens).

tsa-refactor-queue

by aimasteracc
star 36

Build a top-N prioritized refactoring queue by intersecting three signals: health grade (which files are F/D), temporal churn (which files change most often), and dead-code density (which files carry the most unreachable symbols). For each candidate the queue surfaces (a) the dimension that dragged the grade down, (b) the target symbol, (c) blast radius from `codegraph_callers`, and (d) a concrete action — `split`, `delete dead`, or `extract`. Motivated by `docs/agent-tooling-gap-report.md` "Next High-Value Work" §5: use `check_project_health` output to open focused refactoring slices for the current F-grade files, starting with low-coverage Language Plugin extractors and `api.py`. Use when: - "Where should I refactor next?" / "Build me a refactor queue" - Post-feature cleanup pass - Engineering planning: "what would 2 weeks of cleanup buy us?" - Re-grading after a sprint: "did the queue shrink?" Replaces: per-file `check_file_health` loops + spreadsheet ranking (~25k tokens) with 3 parallel MCP calls + a

tsa-health-watch

by aimasteracc
star 36

Project & file health grading + dead-code detection + watch-daemon for grade drops. Answer "how healthy is this codebase", "what's rotting", "which files need attention", "alert me when something degrades" in one workflow. Use when: - Triaging a codebase: "what should we clean up first?" - Pre-PR check: "did this change make health worse?" - User asks "any dead code?" / "any rotting hot spots?" - Starting long-running session, want auto-alerts on degradation - Project-wide quality reporting Replaces: 5-10 grep/read calls + manual heuristics + spreadsheet (~20k tokens) with 2-3 MCP calls (~2k tokens).

tsa-find

by aimasteracc
star 36

Fast file + content search with code-aware sizing. Replaces Read/Grep/find for routine "where is this file" / "grep for X" / "show me lines 10-20 of Y" questions. Returns file paths + line numbers + a sized chunk, not the whole file. Use when: - "Find files matching <pattern>" / "show me all *.yml under config/" - "Grep for 'TODO' / 'FIXME' / 'TODO\\(perf\\)' / regex anywhere" - "How big is <file>" / "is this file too large to read fully" - "Show me lines 50-80 of <file>" / "read just the relevant slice" - "Find all files matching name + containing string" Replaces: native find + grep + cat invocations (~3-10k tokens for big repos) with single MCP calls (200-500 tokens).

Standardizing Agent Capabilities with SKILL.md and Model Context Protocol (MCP)

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, LLM agents (Large Language Model agents) have transitioned from simple text predictors to autonomous problem solvers. To orchestrate complex, multi-step agentic workflows, developers require a standardized format to specify agent capabilities, prompt instructions, system rules, and database bindings. This is where SKILL.md and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) have emerged as standard developer paradigms. SkillMD serves as the central directory for indexing, exploring, and sharing these critical agent configurations.

Our open-source registry currently tracks over 1.7 million collected SKILL.md configurations and system prompts. By compiling agent configurations from active developers on GitHub, we bridge the gap between prompt engineering research and production execution. Whether you are building agents with Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's GPT-4, Google's Gemini, or local models using Ollama and LlamaIndex, standardized skill definitions ensure your agents behave predictably across different runtime environments.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard designed to connect LLMs to data sources, developer tools, and external environments. MCP establishes a bidirectional communication channel between client applications (like Cursor, Claude Desktop, or custom agent systems) and servers hosting data or capabilities. Standardizing instructions via SKILL.md enables LLMs to query databases, read local files, execute terminal commands, and integrate third-party APIs. SkillMD allows you to find ready-to-run MCP servers and prompt instructions for various occupations and technical tasks.

The Structure of a Professional SKILL.md File

A valid SKILL.md configuration is designed to be easily read by humans and parsed by LLMs. It contains precise system instructions, trigger conditions, required parameters, and execution examples. Below is the typical architectural blueprint of a professional agent skill:

  • Metadata & Core Scope: Declares the name of the skill, author details, target models, and a description of the capability.
  • Triggers & Intent Detection: Details semantic triggers that help the agent decide when to invoke this skill.
  • System Prompts: Explicit system-level instructions that direct the agent's behavior, personality, safety guardrails, and formatting preferences.
  • Capabilities & Tools: Lists the files, databases, or APIs the agent must access to complete the tasks.
  • Few-Shot Examples: Demonstrates real inputs and outputs, helping the model generalize behavior through in-context learning.

Optimizing Agent Workflows for Modern LLMs

Writing effective agent skills requires deep knowledge of prompt engineering. With the release of advanced reasoning models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, ChatGPT o1, and DeepSeek-V3, prompt templates must focus on structured thinking. Developers are encouraged to use XML tags (e.g., <thought>, <context>, and <rules>) to isolate execution boundaries. Standardized prompts prevent agents from suffering from context drift, ensuring that long-running tasks remain aligned with the initial system parameters.

Exploring by SOC Occupations and Creator Profiles

What makes SkillMD unique is its taxonomy. Instead of simple text search, we parse and organize files according to the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. This means you can discover skills written for Computer and Mathematical roles, Business and Financial operations, Legal, Design, and and Educational Instruction fields. By tracking creator profiles, developers can study how different teams organize their custom instructions, compare version updates, and fork public configs for specialized enterprise use cases.

SkillMD operates as a high-performance index running on a fast Go backend and a highly responsive Astro SSR frontend. All search queries execute in milliseconds, featuring smart debouncing to prevent multiple API requests while keeping user data secure.
