Python Tools

All 332 tools use the standard library only — zero pip installs, all verified.

# Security audit a skill before installing
python3 engineering/skill-security-auditor/scripts/skill_security_auditor.py /path/to/skill/

# Analyze brand voice
python3 marketing-skill/content-production/scripts/brand_voice_analyzer.py article.txt

# RICE prioritization
python3 product-team/product-manager-toolkit/scripts/rice_prioritizer.py features.csv

# Generate landing page (TSX + Tailwind)
python3 product-team/landing-page-generator/scripts/landing_page_scaffolder.py config.json --format tsx

# Tech debt scoring
python3 c-level-advisor/cto-advisor/scripts/tech_debt_analyzer.py /path/to/codebase

Security

!!! warning "Always audit untrusted skills"

Before installing skills from third-party sources, run the security auditor:

```bash
python3 engineering/skill-security-auditor/scripts/skill_security_auditor.py /path/to/skill/
```

Returns **PASS** / **WARN** / **FAIL** with remediation guidance. Scans for command injection, data exfiltration, prompt injection, and supply chain risks.

---

Creating Your Own

Each skill is a folder:

my-skill/
  SKILL.md       # Instructions + workflows
  scripts/       # Python CLI tools (optional)
  references/    # Domain knowledge (optional)
  assets/        # Templates (optional)

See the Skills & Agents Factory for a complete guide.

FAQ

??? question "Do I need API keys?" No. Skills work locally with no external API calls. All Python tools use stdlib only.

??? question "Can I install individual skills instead of bundles?" Yes. Use /plugin install skill-name@claude-code-skills for any single skill.

??? question "Do skills conflict with each other?" No. Each skill is self-contained with no cross-dependencies.

??? question "How do I update installed skills?" Re-run the install command. The plugin system fetches the latest version from the marketplace.

??? question "Will upgrading to v2.2.0 break my setup?" No. v2.2.0 is fully backward compatible. Existing SKILL.md files, scripts, and references are unchanged. New skills (security suite, self-eval) are additive only.

??? question "Does this work with Gemini CLI?" Yes. Run ./scripts/gemini-install.sh to set up skills for Gemini CLI. A sync script (scripts/sync-gemini-skills.py) generates the skills index automatically.

??? question "Does this work with Cursor, Windsurf, Aider, or other tools?" Yes. All 248 skills can be converted to native formats for Cursor, Aider, Kilo Code, Windsurf, OpenCode, Augment, and Antigravity. Run ./scripts/convert.sh --tool all and then install with ./scripts/install.sh --tool <name>. See Multi-Tool Integrations for details.

??? question "Can I use Agent Skills in ChatGPT?" Yes. We have 6 Custom GPTs that bring Agent Skills directly into ChatGPT — no installation needed. Just click and start chatting.
