Skills
A hot OSINT skill for checking exposed personal information and public digital traces before they become an awkward customer or founder problem.
Useful as a lightweight preflight for executive research, lead enrichment, and personal-security hygiene.

A trending review workflow that gives coding agents a defined pass for catching mistakes before a change reaches the main branch.
A simple review step is cheaper than cleaning up agent-written regressions after deployment.
Skills.sh · Engineering · Quality
A hot skill for turning loose requests into a concrete implementation spec before handing work to a coding agent.
It forces the decision-making upstream, where agents need less improvisation and produce fewer surprises.
Skills.sh · Planning · Control
A trending skill that asks an agent to explain a codebase or concept in a structured way instead of dropping a generic answer.
Good for getting new operators productive in an unfamiliar repo without turning onboarding into a week of Slack archaeology.
Skills.sh · Knowledge · Speed
A current Lark integration skill for building apps around Feishu and Lark workflows, where internal operations already live.
It is a direct route to putting agent workflows where teams already communicate and approve work.
