Install

Skills CLI

npx skills add jstanden/cerb

Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add jstanden/cerb --skill automations — add -g for every project.

Claude Code

git clone https://github.com/jstanden/cerbcp -r "cerb/features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/automations" ~/.claude/skills/

Copies the automations skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.

Plugin

/plugin marketplace add jstanden/cerb

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

Filter skills

In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.

automations

Writing Cerb automations in KATA -- naming, command shape, the correctness rules that bite, and least-privilege policies. Load it before writing or editing any automation script or policy.
features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/automations/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
data-queries

Cerb data queries -- the `key:value` language behind worklists, metrics, charts, and reports. Load it when choosing a `type:`, a `format:`, or an aggregation.
features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/data-queries/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
docs

The mounted Cerb documentation -- what lives where, how to find a page without reading it, and when the docs are the authority versus this install. Load it before your first search of `cerb-docs`.
features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/docs/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
icons

Designing SVG geometry for Cerb's icon set -- the four pattern families, the fixed outer template, and the mask-image constraints that make ordinary SVG instincts wrong. Load it before drawing or editing any icon.
features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/icons/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
kata

KATA, the indentation-based configuration language Cerb uses for automations, toolbars, sheets, charts, workflows, policies, and more. Load it before writing any KATA -- the indentation and quoting rules are not YAML's.
features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/kata/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
mail-replies

Drafting a customer-facing email reply on a Cerb ticket -- interleaved quoting, what may and may not be asserted, the `#signature` token, and house typography. Load it before writing or revising any reply.
features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/mail-replies/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
records

Introspecting THIS Cerb install's record types with the `cerb records` command line -- aliases, searchable filters, writable fields, and why those last two are separate namespaces. Load it before naming any field or filter.
features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/records/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
scripting

Cerb scripting -- Twig at the base, extended with Cerb commands, functions, filters, and tests. Load it whenever you write or debug the contents of a scripting value, wherever that value lives.
features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/scripting/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
search-queries

Cerb's search query language -- the filter:expression grammar, one syntax per filter type, deep search, boolean groups, and sorting. Load it before writing a worklist query, a saved search, or a `record_query:`.
features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/search-queries/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
terminal

The agent terminal -- its commands, absolute paths, how `search` actually matches, the `|` Twig pipeline, and /tmp as a compute surface. Load it before your first search comes back empty.
features/cerberusweb.core/assets/agent_filesystems/cerb-agents/skills/terminal/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

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.
