using-superpowers
by obra
Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions
brainstorming
by obra
"You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation."
dispatching-parallel-agents
by obra
Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
verification-before-completion
by obra
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
subagent-driven-development
by obra
Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session
using-git-worktrees
by obra
Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification
executing-plans
by obra
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
finishing-a-development-branch
by obra
Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
requesting-code-review
by obra
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
writing-skills
by obra
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
receiving-code-review
by obra
Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
grill-with-docs
by mattpocock
Grilling session that challenges your plan against the existing domain model, sharpens terminology, and updates documentation (CONTEXT.md, ADRs) inline as decisions crystallise. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan against their project's language and documented decisions.
grill-me
by mattpocock
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
fastmcp
by NousResearch
Build, test, inspect, install, and deploy MCP servers with FastMCP in Python. Use when creating a new MCP server, wrapping an API or database as MCP tools, exposing resources or prompts, or preparing a FastMCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, or HTTP deployment.
kanban-video-orchestrator
by NousResearch
Plan, set up, and monitor a multi-agent video production pipeline backed by Hermes Kanban. Use when the user wants to make ANY video — narrative film, product/marketing, music video, explainer, ASCII/terminal art, abstract/generative loop, comic, 3D, real-time/installation — and the work warrants decomposition into specialized profiles (writer, designer, animator, renderer, voice, editor, etc.) coordinated through a kanban board. Performs adaptive discovery to scope the brief, designs an appropriate team for the requested style, generates the setup script that creates Hermes profiles + initial kanban task, then helps monitor execution and intervene when tasks stall or fail. Routes scenes to whichever Hermes rendering / audio / design skill fits each beat (ascii-video, manim-video, p5js, comfyui, touchdesigner-mcp, blender-mcp, pixel-art, baoyu-comic, claude-design, excalidraw, songsee, heartmula, …) plus external APIs for TTS, image-gen, and image-to-video as needed.
antigravity-cli
by NousResearch
"Operate the Antigravity CLI (agy): plugins, auth, sandbox."
pinggy-tunnel
by NousResearch
Zero-install localhost tunnels over SSH via Pinggy.
clip
by NousResearch
OpenAI's model connecting vision and language. Enables zero-shot image classification, image-text matching, and cross-modal retrieval. Trained on 400M image-text pairs. Use for image search, content moderation, or vision-language tasks without fine-tuning. Best for general-purpose image understanding.
hermes-agent
by NousResearch
Complete guide to using and extending Hermes Agent — CLI usage, setup, configuration, spawning additional agents, gateway platforms, skills, voice, tools, profiles, and a concise contributor reference. Load this skill when helping users configure Hermes, troubleshoot issues, spawn agent instances, or make code contributions.
huggingface-accelerate
