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.
Teaches agents how to operate within Open Station — find tasks, execute work, update state, and store artifacts.
Assesses whether an existing Python, bash, or hybrid pipeline is a good fit for Seamless (content-addressed caching, reproducible execution, local-to-cluster scaling). Triggers when wrapping scripts or functions without rewriting them, avoiding recomputation, comparing workflow frameworks (vs Snakemake, Nextflow, CWL, Airflow, Prefect), migrating a pipeline, or setting up remote/HPC execution. Covers direct/delayed decorators, seamless-run CLI, nesting, module inclusion, scratch/witness patterns, deep checksums, and execution backends (local, jobserver, daskserver). Provides safe guidance on remote execution and determinism — avoids naive "copy code to server" suggestions.
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.
Use for UI design and implementation work to avoid generic AI-looking interfaces. Provides anti-slop rules, a required discovery phase before coding, and guidance for layout, typography, color, motion, accessibility, dashboards, tables, landing pages, theming, and polish. Trigger when editing UI code or reviewing and refining components, pages, screens, layouts, animations, responsive behavior, or design systems.
Step-based workflow for implementing an issue in a multi-repo workspace. Handles research, planning, shallow cloning, agent teams, implementation, QA, and pull requests.
Use when a human wants durable autonomous progress in the current project: investigation, implementation, recovery, runtime control, saved-run continuation, or continuous improvement.
Comprehensive testing strategy using engram to track test execution, results, and coverage.
Use before any feature work — explores intent, requirements, and design. Produces HOTL contracts (intent, verification, governance) before implementation.

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.
Handles ambiguous or high-impact coding work where missing artifacts, protected-surface changes, or unresolved implementation branches could materially change the implementation. Use for coding tasks that need artifact recovery, guarded clarification, or post-patch verification. Skip trivial, formatting-only, or already explicit single-path work.

Skill files are scattered across GitHub and communities, difficult to search, and hard to evaluate. SkillWink organizes open-source skills into a searchable, filterable library you can directly download and use.
We provide keyword search, version updates, multi-metric ranking (downloads / likes / comments / updates), and open SKILL.md standards. You can also discuss usage and improvements on skill detail pages.
Quick Start:
Import/download skills (.zip/.skill), then place locally:
~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code)
~/.codex/skills/ (Codex CLI)
One SKILL.md can be reused across tools.
Everything you need to know: what skills are, how they work, how to find/import them, and how to contribute.
A skill is a reusable capability package, usually including SKILL.md (purpose/IO/how-to) and optional scripts/templates/examples.
Think of it as a plugin playbook + resource bundle for AI assistants/toolchains.
Skills use progressive disclosure: load brief metadata first, load full docs only when needed, then execute by guidance.
This keeps agents lightweight while preserving enough context for complex tasks.
Use these three together:
Note: file size for all methods should be within 10MB.
Typical paths (may vary by local setup):
One SKILL.md can usually be reused across tools.
Yes. Most skills are standardized docs + assets, so they can be reused where format is supported.
Example: retrieval + writing + automation scripts as one workflow.
Some skills come from public GitHub repositories and some are uploaded by SkillWink creators. Always review code before installing and own your security decisions.
Most common reasons:
We try to avoid that. Use ranking + comments to surface better skills:
