dk-close-the-loop

by deepklarity
star 76

Iteratively improve any output by running a structured observe-hypothesize-change-rerun loop. Uses an organized scratch directory to prevent context blowup — the conversation stays thin while iterations accumulate on disk. Use when an output (reflection, plan, prompt, pipeline result) isn't good enough and needs systematic refinement. Triggers on: 'close the loop', 'this output isn't good enough', 'iterate on this', 'refine this output', 'improve this reflection', or /dk-close-the-loop.

dk-local-follow-breadcrumb

by deepklarity
star 76

Consults existing breadcrumb analysis docs before exploring the codebase. Use this skill whenever the user asks about how a flow works, where something happens in the code, how to debug or test a specific area, what files are involved in a feature, or needs to understand the path data takes through the system. Also trigger when the user mentions 'where does X happen', 'how does Y work', 'trace this', 'what files handle Z', 'how to test this flow', 'debug this area', or when you're about to spawn multiple exploration subagents to understand a cross-cutting flow. Even if the user doesn't explicitly ask — if the task requires understanding how multiple layers connect (frontend → backend → worker → CLI), check breadcrumbs first. This is cheaper and more accurate than re-discovering the same information through code search.

dk-local-inspect

by deepklarity
star 76

Run diagnostic scripts on tasks, specs, boards, or reflections. Wraps testing_tools/ with proper working directory and output mode selection. Use this skill whenever the user wants to inspect, debug, or check the state of a task, spec, board, or reflection — even if they don't say 'inspect' explicitly. Triggers on: 'why did task X fail', 'show me spec Y', 'what's on the board', 'check task', 'inspect', 'diagnose', or /dk-local-inspect.

dk-local-logs

by deepklarity
star 76

Inspect and debug errors via logs across the harness-kit monorepo. Reads the right log file based on the error layer — backend, frontend, celery, odin CLI, or odin task execution. Use this skill whenever someone mentions a 500 error, a stack trace, a crash, 'check the logs', 'what went wrong', a service not starting, celery task failures, or any runtime error. Also triggers on: 'getting 500', 'backend error', 'celery error', 'odin failed', 'check logs', 'tail logs', 'debug this error', or /dk-local-logs.

dk-local-mock-first-approach

by deepklarity
star 76

Mock-first, layer-by-layer feature development. Instead of building a feature end-to-end and hoping the interface works, start by mocking at the user-facing surface with realistic data, get user acceptance on the experience, then deepen one complexity layer at a time with TDD. Everything is anchored on disk so work survives across sessions. Use whenever building a new feature, adding significant UI, planning a multi-layer change, or when the user mentions 'mock first', 'let me see it first', 'prototype this', 'simulate this feature', 'build this layer by layer', or /dk-local-mock-first-approach.

by deepklarity
star 76

Plan and execute an odin spec. Handles working directory, auth, nested-session detection, and post-run diagnostics. Use whenever the user wants to run a spec, test a spec, or do a smoke test. Triggers on: 'run this spec', 'test this spec', 'odin plan', 'smoke test', or /dk-local-run-spec.

dk-loop-audit

by deepklarity
star 76

Audit whether an AI agent can autonomously close the loop on problems in a given area — from discovering a symptom to verifying a fix — without human intervention. Evaluates documentation, diagnostic tools, commands, logs, and flows for completeness and actionability. Generates a gap-focused report with ratings. Use this skill whenever someone wants to assess debugging readiness, check if docs are agent-sufficient, audit a workflow for autonomous solvability, evaluate operational tooling coverage, or wants to know 'could an agent fix this on its own?' Triggers on: 'loop audit', 'audit this flow', 'is this debuggable', 'agent readiness', 'can an agent solve this', 'autonomous debugging check', or /dk-loop-audit.

SEO KNOWLEDGE HUB & TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

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. Join our community of developers to standardize your AI agent instructions and optimize your LLM prompting workflows today.
