What it does

Build Skill is a CLI that scaffolds AI agent skill repositories in seconds. One command — npx build-skill — gives you a fully spec-compliant repo with the right folder structure, SKILL.md templates, marketplace config, GitHub Actions for validation and syncing, and helper scripts to add new skills as you grow. Interactive or quiet mode for CI pipelines. Skip the boilerplate and start writing skills immediately. Open source, MIT licensed.

    Hi HN — I'm Scott. Skillscript is a small language I built to write what I want my local agent to actually do, in a form I can read and version, instead of hoping the model gets it right each time. The itch started with something small. I wanted my NanoClaw agent to run my morning brief the same way every day. Check overnight tickets, summarize the deploy pipeline, flag anything urgent. Every session, it would re-figure out how to do this from scratch, drift a little, and cost tokens for what's basically a fixed procedure. I could put it in a system prompt or an MD skill file, but those are…

    Hey HN! Built a template for distributing AI agent skills via npm. Problem: AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) support custom "skills" but distribution is manual - copy files to ~/.tool/skills/, repeat for updates, no versioning. Solution: Standard npm packages with lifecycle hooks: npm install -g @org/my-skill npm update -g @org/my-skill Benefits: - Semantic versioning (^1.2.0 for auto-updates) - Private registries for enterprise - Standard CI/CD integration - Discoverable on npmjs.com It's a GitHub template - fork, customize SKILL.md, publish.…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
