What it solves

This project provides a collection of high-quality, pre-defined "skills" (SKILL.md files) for AI agents. Unlike standard prompts, these skills allow agents in tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex to automatically detect when to use a specific capability based on keywords and scenarios, removing the need for manual prompt copying and pasting.

How it works

Users install these skills by copying the folders from the skills/ directory into the skills configuration folder of their chosen AI agent tool (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Trae, or GitHub Copilot). The agent then uses the description field within the skill file to automatically trigger the correct behavior for a given user request.

Who it’s for

Developers, students, and content creators who use AI agent-based IDEs or tools and want to extend their AI's ability to handle specialized tasks like academic writing, patent drafting, diagramming, and professional documentation.

Highlights

• Academic & Patent Writing: Specialized skills for thesis outline auditing, structural imitation, polishing, and full-cycle Chinese invention patent drafting.
• Automated Diagramming: Support for generating Draw.io, Excalidraw, and technical stack diagrams, including deep learning architectures, UML sequence diagrams, and educational illustrations.
• Development Workflow: A five-step framework covering requirement analysis, design, implementation, code review, and bug fixing.
• Content Creation: Tools for writing WeChat articles with specific styles and generating matching cover images.
• Professional Documentation: Capabilities to generate comprehensive onboarding documents for new developers (up to 9 different types) and resume-ready project descriptions.
• Frontend Design: High-quality UI generation that avoids generic AI aesthetics by focusing on specific aesthetic directions.
