Install
Skills CLI
npx skills add minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards
Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards --skill architect — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/minghinmatthewlam/agent-guardscp -r "agent-guards/skills/architect" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the architect skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards
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.
-
architect
Design features, subsystems, and substantial refactors through component boundaries, caller usage, data models, and interfaces before implementation. Use when asked to architect a change, choose a design, or decide where code and responsibilities should live.
skills/architect/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
autoreview
Review local changes, branches, commits, and PRs with independent native subagents. Use for code-review requests or substantive implementation closeout; focus on concrete defects, simplicity, and the task's goal.
skills/autoreview/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
concisely
Present concise plans, progress updates, findings, and final reports that keep the human oriented, informed, and able to learn how the project works. Use for complex agent coding work and focus on the most important points and decisions.
skills/concisely/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
create-verification-skill
Generate a project-local verification skill that drives your app the way a user does — any language, framework, or platform. Use for $create-verification-skill, "make a control skill for this repo", or when a project has no scripted way to prove UI/CLI/service behavior.
skills/create-verification-skill/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
explain-report
Create a self-contained HTML explanation when the user requests one or when important, durable project knowledge is materially easier to understand visually than in concise chat. Use for significant architecture, research, decisions, incidents, audits, or changes that the user may revisit. Do not use for routine status, simple answers, or unverified findings.
skills/explain-report/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
find-bugs
Find important, high-confidence correctness bugs and edge cases in an existing codebase. Use when the user asks to inspect a repository, subsystem, or implementation for bugs, failure modes, incorrect behavior, or overlooked edge cases.
skills/find-bugs/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
learn-from-mistake
Find why an agent produced a bad result, strengthen the code, repository, verification, tooling, or workflow that enabled it, then retry the original task. Use when the user asks to learn from a mistake, prevent recurrence, or postmortem an agent failure.
skills/learn-from-mistake/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
maintain-verification-skill
Periodic pass that keeps a project's verification skill and feature map honest: parallel source readers per feature, one live session driving every feature, at most one PR of proven corrections. Use for $maintain-verification-skill or "audit the verify skill".
skills/maintain-verification-skill/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
new-task
Clarify a new task by stating the goal the agent believes the user wants, showing its current understanding, and asking only product-related or high-priority questions that could materially change the outcome. Use before planning or implementation when the task needs alignment.
skills/new-task/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
record-screen
Record a small MP4 while demonstrating or verifying a UI change, then attach the video as proof. Linux cloud sessions record the private virtual display; macOS records only the app window under test. Use for any repo whenever a UI change is verified or demoed.
skills/record-screen/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
repo-setup
Set up or refactor a repository so agents naturally follow its intended architecture and important mistakes fail mechanically. Use when the user invokes $repo-setup, asks to make a repo agent-friendly, or wants important repository rules enforced through structure, types, tooling, tests, or CI.
skills/repo-setup/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
skills-audit
Audit agent skills for triggering quality, correctness, context efficiency, redundancy, structure, failure guidance, and coverage gaps. Use when the user asks to review, improve, compare, simplify, or evaluate skills in global, repo-local, Claude, Codex, or custom skill paths.
skills/skills-audit/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
teach
Help the user build a working mental model of code, system designs, and proposed changes. Use when asked to teach, explain how a system works, walk through an architecture, or understand a change.
skills/teach/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
No skill matches that filter.
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.
