spm declares skills as git dependencies pinned by tag, branch or commit and locked to immutable SHAs in ai.lock, then projects them into Amp, Claude Code, Cline, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Windsurf, keeping skills out of your repo behind a global fetch cache. Apache-2.0, 7 stars, created July 29. The marketplace-versus-package-manager fight arriving in skill distribution, and the git-native answer means no registry owns the middle. Single source, tiny repo, so this is a direction rather than a result.

Triple-stream retrieval (BM25 keyword, vector embeddings, knowledge-graph traversal) fused via Reciprocal Rank Fusion on the iii engine, with SQLite for state and an in-memory vector index, no external database. The economic claim: ~170K tokens/year (~$10) versus ~650K tokens...
The largest available cost lever might not be the model. It might be a prompt telling the model to calm down. DietrichGebert/ponytail is a portable agent skill with a simple thesis: force coding agents toward the minimal solution. YAGNI first. Standard library before custom co...
bradautomates/claude-video (v0.2.0, July 1) lets agents download, frame-extract, and transcribe any video via yt-dlp, ffmpeg, and Whisper, then hand it to Claude's multimodal Read (GitHub). It ships as an Agent Skill usable across 50+ agents: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini...

A Chinese-enhanced fork of the 116K-star Superpowers pack, explicitly targeting 16 AI coding tools including Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Hermes Agent, Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro, and Gemini CLI. Source: GitHub The agent-skills layer is becoming portable across editors instead of loc...
xAI launched Grok Build on May 14. With that, every major AI lab now ships a coding agent that lives in your terminal. The competition isn't "can we build one" anymore. That question is settled. The lineup: Anthropic has Claude Code. OpenAI has Codex CLI. Google has Gemini CLI...
