This repository owns Agentic Tend's reusable skills layer, dogfooded in Codex before publication.
Each top-level directory is one independently discoverable skill with a SKILL.md entrypoint.
The collection follows the open Agent Skills format: compatible agents discover concise metadata first and load full instructions and bundled resources only when a task calls for them.
Agentic Tend's tooling model keeps these on-demand workflows separate from ambient repository rules and event-triggered hooks.
Below separates meta-level procedures that shape agent work from adapters for a specific capability.
Validate every published skill against the Agent Skills specification:
gh skill publish --dry-runThese meta-level skills govern how an agent reasons about and structures its work across repositories.
- Clarifying Contracts resolves user-owned ambiguity about purpose, observable behavior, constraints, scope, authority, and acceptance evidence before execution. It adapts Superpowers' brainstorming workflow and Matt Pocock's grilling12, focusing on the intrinsically complex entries of HITL (human-in-the-loop).
These skills guide an agent in using a particular tool or capability safely and consistently.
- Obsidian CLI adapts and narrows Kepano's upstream Obsidian CLI skill, distinguishing non-CLI versus CLI processes and non-DEV versus DEV tasks.
- The organization roadmap tracks evidence and extension work spanning multiple tooling layers.
