We are moving from "prompt as text" to skill as runtime module. Each skill acts like a lightweight, containerized application for AI work: a stable interface, opinionated workflow, and bundled resources that can be installed, versioned, tested, and reused across projects.

How this repo works

This is my personal .skills repository for Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw and agent-first tooling. .skills is the dotfiles mindset applied to AI execution: instead of one-off prompts, this repo stores reusable skill units that bundle:

• prompt logic (SKILL.md / AGENT.md / AGENTS.md)
• references and knowledge assets
• scripts for deterministic execution
• repeatable validation + publishing workflows
• support external skills through submodules
• git managed personal registry and github action hooks

Internal/private workflow skills can live in this repo and are marked in the metadata as internal: true and excluded from public marketplace/release artifacts.

Default sync targets are managed automatically by vercel skills.

Codex slash commands

This repo can also mirror Codex slash-command prompts from vendor/ and sync them to ~/.codex/prompts.

• make sync now syncs skills and slash commands for the codex profile.
• vendored command currently included: /sectriage from steipete/agent-scripts.

Validation

make validate now runs:

1. repo policy checks (Purpose/When to use/Workflow/Inputs/Outputs, entry-file checks)
2. AgentSkills spec checks for local SKILL.md skills (name/description constraints, frontmatter validity, relative resource references, one-level reference depth)
3. public skill OpenAI metadata checks (agents/openai.yaml, required interface fields, default icons/brand from AGENTS.md, and icon path existence)

If installed, the external reference validator is also used:

skills-ref validate ./skills/<skill-name>

Why .skills

Dotfiles configure machines. .skills configures AI execution quality.

This repo is meant to be composable, auditable, and practical: skills should be testable artifacts, not throwaway prompt snippets.
