About this collection
Sam publishes skills he uses in his own work. Each has a specific task, an independent installation path, and recorded verification limits. Install one skill for a particular workflow or the bundle for the full collection.
Requirements for publication
Section titled “Requirements for publication”A skill belongs here when it is:
- used in real work;
- specific enough for an agent to trigger reliably;
- independently useful and honest about optional dependencies;
- portable outside Sam’s private workspace;
- free of private information and fabricated evidence;
- documented with real installation and usage examples; and
- validated on representative tasks with limitations recorded.
