web-video-presentation

Category: Web Video / Presentation Engineering Best for: turning scripts, articles, lessons, product demos, and talks into click-driven 16:9 web presentations that can be screen-recorded as cinematic videos.

web-video-presentation builds record-ready Vite + React + TypeScript presentations that behave like video production surfaces. The workflow turns raw articles into narration scripts, maps script beats to full-screen scenes, pauses at required checkpoints, and can optionally synthesize narration audio after the visual outline is approved.

Highlights:

• Fixed 1920×1080 stage that scales to the viewport for stable screen recording
• Click / keyboard driven (chapter, step) cursor, with one narration beat per visual step
• Hard collaboration checkpoints for script, theme, outline, implementation mode, and optional audio
• Hidden hover-only progress controls so the stage stays clean while recording
• Theme-token architecture with 23 built-in themes, each with its own design signature — editorial, terminal, engineering, Swiss International, and more
• Pluggable TTS — provider-agnostic audio runner; ships two built-in providers (MiniMax mmx-cli + OpenAI TTS via curl) plus a contract + ready-to-paste snippets for ElevenLabs / edge-tts / Azure / Google Cloud / macOS say
• Scaffolded Vite + React + TypeScript project with reusable stage primitives and recording guidance

web-design-engineer

Category: Design / Frontend Best for: web pages, landing pages, dashboards, interactive prototypes, HTML slide decks, animations, UI mockups, data visualizations, and design-system explorations.

web-design-engineer turns AI-generated web artifacts from merely functional into polished, deliberate, and visually memorable front-end work. It treats the agent as a design engineer: first understanding product context, then declaring a design system, showing an early v0, building the full experience, and verifying the result.

Highlights:

• Converts the brief into a five-dial Design Read covering variance, motion, density, asset dependence, and brand fidelity
• Distinguishes extension, preserve, and overhaul redesign modes before changing an existing product
• Runs executable browser acceptance only when the user explicitly requests acceptance, QA, or browser testing
• Pushes beyond generic AI UI patterns with an anti-cliché blocklist and stronger visual judgment
• Ships a Design Direction Advisor (six differentiated schools) + 25 anchored style recipes (Linear / Aesop / Pentagram / Bloomberg / Stripe Press / Mid-Century, etc.) — each recipe carries concrete palette, typography, signature moves, and anti-patterns ready to paste into the design-system declaration
• Covers HTML / CSS / JavaScript / React prototypes, with guidance for responsive layout, motion, and interaction polish
• Includes practical implementation rules for inline React + Babel, CSS tokens, oklch() color work, container queries, and reduced-motion handling
• Ships an advanced patterns reference for device frames, slide engines, animation timelines, dashboards, and other reusable web artifacts

gpt-image-2

Category: Image Generation / Prompt Engineering Best for: posters, UI mockups, product visuals, infographics, academic figures, technical diagrams, comics, avatars, storyboards, branding boards, and image-editing workflows.

gpt-image-2 is a focused image-generation skill for GPT Image 2 and OpenAI-compatible image APIs. It is designed to work across different agent environments: fully local Garden generation, host-native image-tool delegation, or prompt-only advisor mode when no image tool is available.

Highlights:

• Supports three runtime modes: Mode A Garden local, Mode B host-native delegation, and Mode C advisor-only prompt writing
• Starts every task with mode detection so the skill does not silently choose the wrong execution path
• Provides 18 visual categories and 79 structured prompt templates under references/
• Covers both image generation and image editing through dedicated workflows and scripts
• Saves prompts and generated images under garden-gpt-image-2/ in Garden mode for reuse, review, and versioning

kb-retriever

Category: Retrieval / Local Knowledge Base Best for: answering questions from a local knowledge/ directory, searching structured documentation, and extracting evidence from Markdown, text, PDF, and Excel files without flooding the agent context.

kb-retriever is a local knowledge-base retriever built around careful, progressive search. Instead of loading whole files, it navigates hierarchical index files, narrows the candidate set, processes complex file types correctly, and answers with sources.

Highlights:

• Uses layered data_structure.md files to navigate the knowledge base before searching content
• Enforces a learn-before-process rule for PDF and Excel files, using the included reference docs before extraction or analysis
• Combines precise keyword search, local windowed reads, synonyms, and iterative refinement
• Bounds retrieval to at most 5 search rounds so exploration stays controlled
• Includes workflows for grep, pdftotext, pdfplumber, and pandas, with source-aware answer formatting

beautiful-article

Category: Editorial · Any source → beautiful article Best for: turning URLs, PDFs, DOCX, Markdown, plain text, screenshots, and pasted notes into a polished, share-ready article — long-form, briefings, explainers, tutorials, post-mortems, visual essays, dialogue transcripts.

beautiful-article is an editorial harness skill: it does not just "make a webpage", it edits and designs the source material into a polished article that is easier to read, share, and archive than the original. The skill flows through a small source → plan → double-confirmation → build → final review → repair loop and pauses at three hard checkpoints so the user keeps editorial control over article type, theme, layout, image strategy, cover, and delivery format.

Highlights:

• Article first — the focus is the article: better reading, better pacing, better aesthetics. Delivery is a self-contained file (HTML, optional PDF), but that's a delivery detail, not the goal
• Reacticle component protocol — prose-first semantic components (Hero / Lead / Section / Quote / Callout / Image / Formula / CodeBlock / Table…) plus a theme-token-only Raw free layer; the underlying React library lives at ConardLi/reacticle
• 10 article types with bundled retention ratios — longform · ~100% / tutorial · ~90% / full-report · ~80% / explainer · ~80% / dialogue · ~80% / review · ~70% / essay · ~70% / briefing · ~50% / visual-essay · ~40% / interactive-explainer · ~25% excerpt + 75% AI-rebuild
• 11 authoring theme profiles (tufte, press, bayer, bodoni, vignelli, sottsass, freddie, andy, fuller, knuth, shannon) — each is a Markdown contract for the agent rather than a CSS file
• Hard collaboration checkpoints with item-by-item decision capture (no silent defaults), plus a 3:4 book-style cover, default-on TOC, and language-aware translation step
• Per-node quality protocol — main-agent inline checks for plan, sub-agent reviewers for first spread / sections / final review, repair as minimal slices
