About this collection
Tease:These are skills Sam uses, not a catalog filled for its own sake.Lede:Sam’s Skills is a public collection of focused agent workflows that have earned a place in Sam’s own toolkit and are packaged so other people can use them too.Why it matters:A smaller, maintained collection is easier to trust, install, and improve than a pile of overlapping prompts with unclear provenance.Go deeper:Choose a skill for one workflow, install the full bundle when you want the collection, and use each skill’s verification page to see what has actually been checked.
What earns a place
Section titled “What earns a place”A skill belongs here when it is:
- used in real work rather than published as speculative inventory;
- 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.
Current skills
Section titled “Current skills”| Skill | Use it for | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| Zach Prompting | Improve prompts, skills, agent definitions, tool descriptions, and repository instructions without weakening their contract. | Read the guide |
| HTMA Measure | Turn uncertain costs, risks, ROI, market size, and other quantities into calibrated, decision-ready estimates. | Read the guide |
Each skill remains canonical in its own skills/<name>/ directory. Collection packaging points to those directories instead of copying their instructions.

Publishing contract
Section titled “Publishing contract”The public repository, this site, and the machine-readable corpus should describe the same collection. A change is not presented as shipped until its source is committed, its relevant checks pass, and the deployed content is verified.
