Run inside Claude Code if the repository ships a plugin marketplace, then pick plugins from /plugin.
Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md — showing the first 30 of 156 files.
-
accessibility-audit
Fast, high-signal accessibility triage for pages, components, or PRs targeting WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.
skills/accessibility-audit/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
agent-loops
Complete operational workflow for implementer agents (Codex, Gemini, etc.) making code changes and writing tests. Drives all work through atomic commits — each loop operates on the smallest complete, reviewable change. Defines the Code Change Loop, Test Writing Loop, Lint Gate, and Issue Filing process with circuit breakers, severity levels, and escalation rules. Requires `cortex git commit` for…

ai-tells-review
Use when public prose still sounds machine-written after ai-tells-scan. Complements ai-tells-scan's mechanical pass with structural judgment: rhythm, hedging, rhetorical reflexes, and performative emphasis. Trigger on 'review for AI tells,' 'does this read AI,' 'strip the AI smell,' or 'make this less AI.'
skills/ai-tells-review/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
ai-tells-scan
Use when writing tasks produce prose artifacts (READMEs, docs, PR text, tutorials, guides, posts, release notes) and need a fast surface scan for AI tells. Auto-engages on prose writing tasks; checks banned punctuation, stock vocabulary, and mechanical patterns. For the structural judgment pass on rhythm and rhetorical reflexes, use ai-tells-review. Not a replacement for voice skills like nick-vo…

atlas-crew-tasks
Use when filing, updating, sequencing, or querying tasks in any atlas-crew repo (Facet + the Atlas Crew Security repos: Apparatus, Chimera, Crucible, Synapse, Bridge). These repos track work in GitHub Issues on Projects v2 boards, NOT backlog.md. Covers the two boards, the Type/Area/Status field model, cross-repo Initiative grouping, gh seq execution ordering, and the non-obvious gh/GraphQL mecha…
skills/atlas-crew-tasks/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
atomic-commits
Use this skill when a working tree contains uncommitted changes that need to be split into a sequence of atomic commits — typically after a long session, an agent hand-off, a rebase resolution, or anytime `git status` shows mixed work that was not committed as it landed. The skill assumes the agent has fresh context and did not author most of the diff, so it treats the working tree as evidence to…
skills/atomic-commits/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
backlog-md
Task tracking system for agents via Backlog.md CLI. Use when creating deferred issues during implementation, filing audit findings, working assigned tasks, or managing project work. Optimized for agent workflows: structured issue filing, priority/labeling system, and task completion tracking.

Build a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product…

Trigger phrases: 'write a business requirements document', 'map this process', 'gather requirements for', 'gap analysis for', 'AS-IS TO-BE process'. Not for writing user stories (use product-manager skill),…

codex-code-review
Automate code review remediation loops with the codex CLI. Requests reviews from codex, classifies findings by severity (P0-P4), fixes critical issues (P0/P1) through iterative cycles, defers quality improvements to backlog, and escalates after 3 review cycles.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
