What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Convert rough draft notes into structured tutorial articles formatted for Logseq with a single AI agent command

USE CASE 2

Turn a vague project goal into a structured Codex task specification so an AI agent knows exactly what to build

USE CASE 3

Create well-formatted GitHub issues from brief QA notes, with automatic checks to catch sensitive information before posting

So what is it?

This repository is a collection of reusable "skills" for AI agents, published through a platform called skills.sh. In this context, a skill is a packaged set of instructions that tells an AI agent how to perform a specific task, similar to a plugin or a recipe the agent can follow. The six skills in the collection cover different practical workflows. One converts notes and draft text into tutorial articles formatted for Logseq, a note-taking application. Another reviews recent work and recommends which parts are worth saving as reusable workflow assets. A third turns loosely described goals into structured goal specifications for Codex, which appears to be an AI task-running platform. A fourth creates or fixes the configuration file that tells Codex how to run automated actions. The fifth looks at screenshots and reasons about what user interface behavior is implied, to help fill in gaps before writing code for that interface. The sixth converts brief QA notes into properly formatted GitHub issues, with checks to catch sensitive information before posting. Installing any of these skills requires a tool called npx, which comes with Node.js. A single command installs all six skills or you can install just the one you need. Each skill lives in its own folder as a markdown file named SKILL.md. The README includes a short safety note: these skills are instruction files that may inspect local project history, write files, or create automation assets. The author recommends reading each skill file before installing it, which is sensible advice for any tool that will be given access to your project environment.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I want to install the mlhiter/skills Logseq tutorial skill using npx. Show me the exact install command and how to invoke the skill to convert a markdown note into a tutorial article.
Prompt 2
How does the UI screenshot reasoning skill in mlhiter/skills work? I want to use it to infer missing interface behavior before writing frontend code for a new feature.
Prompt 3
I have a vague goal like "add user authentication". How do I use the mlhiter/skills goal-to-Codex skill to turn it into a structured Codex task specification?
Prompt 4
Walk me through using the mlhiter/skills QA-to-GitHub-issue skill to convert my test notes into a properly formatted issue, and explain how it checks for sensitive data.
