Agent Skills · by palol
A menagerie of Agent Skills.
Small, self-contained instruction bundles that teach an AI coding agent to do one thing well. Copy-paste the code yourself, or hand a skill to your agent and let it do the work.

Skills in the zoo
dg-floating-tray
v1.3 L1 · low riskAdd a bottom floating dock + expandable tray to an Obsidian Digital Garden (Eleventy) site — theme toggle, search, random, and a grid of secondary links. Upstream-safe, no core edits.
dg-summon-cats
v1.0 L1 · low riskSummon Greta and Nigel, two bonded Neko pixel cats that visitors direct around the garden by tapping or clicking. They walk, idle, sleep, and scratch using local sprite atlases. Upstream-safe and reduced-motion aware.
dg-dungeon-map
v1.0 L2 · build stepTurn your garden into an interactive hex-grid dungeon map in the note header — notes become hexes on a spiral whose rhythm follows the digits of π, with a “you are here” marker and toggleable backlink / mention overlays from graph.json.
dg-indieweb
v1.0 L2 · fetch + actionsMake your garden a first-class IndieWeb citizen: h-card + runtime h-entry microformats, webmention discovery + rel-me, a build-time /webmentions/ display page with facepiles, and GitHub Actions to fetch received & send outgoing mentions. No plugin-core edits, no secrets in code.
dg-obsifetch
v1.0 L2 · build scanA neofetch for your vault — a tribute to tabibyte/obsifetch. Build-time stats (files, sizes, orphans, links, theme) rendered as a curl-able /neofetch.txt route and a footer card with ASCII art + live theme-color swatches. Read-only scan, no core edits.
dg-graph-colors
v1.0 L2 · build hookColor your graph nodes and links by top-level folder instead of one flat theme color. The stock Pixi renderer already honors node.color — this just populates it via a one-line wrap in the _data graph hook. Optional footer legend. No plugin-core edits.
dg-random-note
v1.0 L1 · low riskAdd a /random route that sends visitors to a randomly chosen published note — a “surprise me” link for your garden. One self-contained page, no build scripts, no core edits.
dg-skill-authoring
v1.0 L1 · low riskA meta-skill: teaches an agent how to build a new upstream-safe Digital Garden skill — spec-compliant frontmatter, progressive disclosure, the five DG invariants, validate & package. The pattern behind this zoo.
What's an Agent Skill?
An Agent Skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file (plus optional assets/ and references/). The frontmatter description tells your agent when to use it; the body tells it how. Your agent reads only what it needs, when it needs it — so skills stay cheap to keep around.
Every skill here is MIT-licensed, reversible, and honest about what it touches (see the risk pill on each card).
How to use a skill
Get the skill
Clone this repo, or copy a single skill folder into your agent's skills directory — ~/.claude/skills/ or ~/.agents/skills/.
Ask your agent
In your project, tell your agent what you want (e.g. "use the dg-floating-tray skill to add a bottom dock"). It matches the skill by its description and follows the steps.
Or serve it over MCP
Point Skills Over MCP at this repo and your agent picks up every skill with one config line — auto-updating on each push.
Prefer to do it yourself?
Each skill page shows the full source and copy-paste instructions. No agent required.
