What is skills?

This repository is a small collection of skills for AI coding agents, shared by the author as the set they personally use every day while working with agentic coding tools. A skill in this context is a packaged set of instructions that an agent can load and follow for a particular kind of task, rather than the agent figuring out the approach from scratch each time. The README is short and describes just one skill so far, called real-work. That skill is meant to capture planning as a durable, resumable markdown plan. Instead of a plan living only in a chat conversation and disappearing once the session ends, real-work turns it into phased work broken down with checkboxes, includes a way for the agent to verify its own progress without help, and produces handoff summaries. The idea is that a different agent, or the same agent much later, can pick the work back up with no prior context and still understand what has been done and what remains. Installation is handled through a separate tool called skills.sh, using the command npx skills@latest add Elfocrash/skills. Running this adds the skills in this repository to whatever coding agent the user has set up. Once installed, the agent is expected to automatically activate a given skill whenever an incoming request matches that skill's description, without the user needing to invoke it by name. The project is licensed under MIT, which means it can be reused, modified and redistributed freely, including for commercial purposes, as long as the original copyright notice is kept. Beyond the single real-work skill and the install instructions, the README does not describe any other features, so there is not much more detail available about the project's internals or roadmap.
