comms-check
by lancejames221bUnified communications check — iMessage texts, Signal messages, recent phone calls, and optional voicemail. Invocable on-demand or from voice. Produces TL;DR for voice and full report for Discord.
roku-control
by lancejames221bControl Roku devices via the ECP (External Control Protocol). Supports playback commands (play, pause, home, back) and launching content from Plex, Netflix, Disney+, and other channels. Use when controlling TV playback, launching shows or movies on a specific TV, or managing multi-room media by voice.
sonos-announce
by lancejames221bSend a Jarvis-voiced TTS announcement to a Sonos speaker in the house. Uses Chatterbox for voice generation. Use when the user wants to send a spoken message to someone in another room via a Sonos speaker.
speaker-route
by lancejames221bRoute Jarvis audio responses to a Sonos speaker. Mic stays on Discord/phone — only the output is redirected. Supports per-message routing and a persistent speaker mode that stays active until turned off.
where-is
by lancejames221bStore and retrieve the physical location of items using hAIveMind. Triggers on "I put X in Y", "where is X", "where did I put X", "remember X is at Y", and similar natural-language item-location phrases.
kb-trash
by lancejames221bMove a Cline Kanban task (or an entire column) to trash, stopping any active session and cleaning up its worktree. Auto-cascades any linked backlog tasks (one in trash → next in chain auto-starts). Use when the user says "kb-trash", "trash that task", "trash kanban", "clean up the review column", "drop those tickets", or wants to remove tasks from the board.
kb-plan
by lancejames221bCreate a Cline Kanban planning ticket that always runs on Opus in plan mode with xhigh reasoning, regardless of the calling agent's model. Works in any git-repo project (<PROJECT_NAME>, <VOICE_RUNTIME>, <PRODUCT_NAME>, anywhere) — auto-registers the project on first ticket if not already registered. Use when the user says "plan this in kanban", "kb-plan", "kanban plan", "write a plan ticket", or wants design/architecture work decomposed before implementation. The ticket produces a written plan (saved as a markdown file in the project) that a follow-up implementation ticket executes.
kanban
by lancejames221bUse when user asks for the Cline Kanban passcode, password, access code, or asks to restart kanban. Pulls the latest passcode straight from the systemd journal so it's always current.
kb-do
by lancejames221bCreate a Cline Kanban implementation ticket that picks the right Anthropic model (Sonnet 4.6 by default, escalate to Opus 4.7 for architecture/security/judgment-heavy work) and reasoning effort based on the task content. Works in any git-repo project (<PROJECT_NAME>, <VOICE_RUNTIME>, <PRODUCT_NAME>, anywhere) — auto-registers the project on first ticket if not already registered. Use when the user says "kb-do", "kanban do", "create a kanban ticket to do X", "make a kanban implementation task", or when adding any non-planning Cline Kanban ticket. Sonnet 4.6 or Opus 4.7 only.
kb-link
by lancejames221bLink two Cline Kanban tasks so one waits on the other (auto-cascade pipeline). When a task in review is trashed, any linked backlog task auto-starts. Use when the user says "kb-link", "link these tasks", "make X depend on Y", "chain these tickets", or wants to wire up a sequential pipeline of work. Project-agnostic.
kb-new
by lancejames221bCreate a new Cline Kanban project from scratch — `git init` a new repo if needed, drop a starter README.md, make the initial commit, and register it as a Cline Kanban workspace. Works in any directory under ~/Dev/ (or wherever the user specifies). Uses `--no-verify` on the initial commit only if <PROJECT_NAME> pre-commit hooks block (most new empty projects have nothing to flag, so it shouldn't come up). Use when the user says "kb-new", "new kanban project", "make a new project", "create a project for X", or wants to start a fresh Cline Kanban workspace.
kb-plan
by lancejames221bCreate a Cline Kanban planning ticket that always runs on Opus in plan mode with xhigh reasoning, regardless of the calling agent's model. Works in any git-repo project (<PROJECT_NAME>, <VOICE_RUNTIME>, <PRODUCT_NAME>, anywhere) — auto-registers the project on first ticket if not already registered. Use when the user says "plan this in kanban", "kb-plan", "kanban plan", "write a plan ticket", or wants design/architecture work decomposed before implementation. The ticket produces a written plan (saved as a markdown file in the project) that a follow-up implementation ticket executes.

Explore the agent skills ecosystem by occupation and creator
SkillMD is not just a keyword search box. It is an open map that organizes public skills by occupation, creator, and repository, helping you see which workflows, judgment criteria, and domain habits people are writing for AI agents.
Then follow creators and GitHub repositories back to the source: compare the skills a team maintains, whether the repo is active, and how the README frames the work before you open, install, or reuse anything.
Use it three ways: learn an unfamiliar field by occupation, study how creators organize skills, then use source context to decide what is worth opening or reusing.
01 Map a field
Browse 23 occupation groups and 867 SOC roles to learn what skills exist in adjacent domains and how they break down real work.
02 Follow creators
Use creator and repository pages to inspect maintained skill collections, recent updates, and source context before trusting a result.
03 Search with sources
Search 1.7M+ collected skills, then use occupation tags, creators, and GitHub source context to decide what is worth opening.
Start with the occupation map, then follow creators and repositories back to real code. SkillMD helps explain why a skill is worth opening, not only what it is named.
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.
